I have tired for years to understand Skallagrim.
I decided that he is possibly deranged.

Dude I can see the weakness in every character, just because I see it doesn't mean it's non-metagamingly exploitable. Sometimes in character logic only goes so far, I'm not talkin' about yer mech Green, your mech has a hilariously blatant weakness. But I'm getting at stuff like: Golden Age Green Lantern's weakness was wood. Wood!How would you be able to learn this information in combat? Nobody in the arena has wooden weapons. Would they just conveniently be disarmed and find a stick to beat the shit out of him with? Sometimes weaknesses can be ridiculously dangerous, other times super obvious. But just because it's obvious doesn't mean it's exploitable. Example: Superman. Kryptonite, a material that's dangerously radioactive to humans. It's also incredibly rare. And then you've got normal human characters who are low tier, who are all weak to bullets. But we all know what happens when you shoot bullets in an RP.

Having weaknesses no one could possibly know about is annoying though, I grant.Fucking Khan's skeleton, it has a giant glowing thing in its chest and he called ballshit on my character aiming it once, the nerve. Sigurd had obviously played at least one of any video-game ever made.

Really. I cannot tell you what to do or how to ease your worried mind. If it so troubles you have to fight along T1 rules and exploit weaknesses that you glean through the actions of your opponent and their stances, descriptions and how they present their attacks then I cannot help you.

Isn't measuring roleplaying experience difficult? It's nothing more than collaborative writing at best, and not really a skill on its own.

True but having fought bullshit fighters who pulled crap out of their ass tends to make one read the entire fight very carefully so that you understand what is happening and if it goes to a judge you can point to actions leading up to support your action or completely blow up the bullshit attack from your opponent.

I am suddenly reminded of what's his face. The first guy I fought in the HoR, where I was using Derik, the chain man, and he started complaining.

I love people fighting with chains. Im not sure why, but it's always really appealed to me.
