True enough. If you enter a tournament you deal with what the gm decides is fair, as I said before.

Right up until it becomes a e-peen contest about who can dodge the most close quarters attacks.


The problem is logic takes over.

It's like I told Innue during his tournament, I'll back any play you make. Hosts have the utmost authority.

Some people like to try and skirt logic. which is why I hate reflexes more and more, because some use it as a catch all for avoiding shit. Even with the best reflexes you can't dodge everything.

The ability of foresight in a role player is, to me, the single most crucial factor when it comes to fighting. The ability to plan and think ahead, make those plans concise and follow them through, and being quick-minded enough to re-apply thought when that plan perhaps fails. I attribute just about any win I've gained to being able to properly predict, and therefore in a sense control the flow of the fight.

Well Gun, that is the way you are suppose to fight. It's been that way as long as I have been doing this. Fighting is a funnel, you start wide but every move narrows the options open to both. The one who can "see" the fight better usually wins.

That's what most of us who play this game are taught from day one, but in my experience the number of people overlooking that in exchange for single-movement-thought is surprising. But I come from, quite literally, the shittiest place on the internet to decide you wanna start fighting. Hence why I say stuff like all those I fought with interrupts abuse them and whatnot. Because all I was around for a long time were big-chested egotists, and people trying to undercut those around them to be accepted by those egotists, so I'm just cynical by upbringing I suppose.

MYB was pretty bad. it started off as all autohits, chain attacks, and illogical dodges, but slowly got better, until everone started tring to making stronger characters out of nowhere.

the one time i actually went in with a plan, i won pretty handedly. hahah. shield to draw them in, cut deep, lightning. #Keitaro

That's why I always encourage people to learn the basics. Start with no powers, realistic, usually no weapons. You learn to see openings, learn counters and avoidance. It's not fancy but gives a good foundation to build on.

Anyone here ever have a fever so bad that they hallucinate? That was me last night.

Today I'm at work getting yelled at by my coworkers for working slow. Despite them knowing I'm still sick.

Tomorrow I'm scheduled to work only 7 hours after I get home. I'm going to get yelled at tomorrow as well.

I hate this job.

@LeeRoy Yea, I've been there man. Wanna put a pause on our fight until you're feeling better? I'd hate to win by default just because you got sick.

It's funny, I'm kinda the opposite. I don't rely on foresight because in my experience characters in fantasy combat can be pretty freakin' unpredictable. I don't think I've ever won a fight that went "according to plan." For me, my greatest assets are visualization and creativity. Whenever my character makes a motion, I physically act out that motion so that I know for a fact where every body part will be and where my openings are.

What we need to do is combine "Foresight" with "Unpredictability" to make "Unforedictightility".

God I'm a horrible flake when I'm sick, I went home and passed out. Then woke up with literally only enough time to get to work.

I'm home in about an hour, I'll start those posts then.

You're sick @LeeRoy. DJ and I aren't in a rush since this is not ranked and can be used for backstory/plot advancement.
