It's good to be back in it!!

[Xavier Bloodbayne]

I am finding this to be a very enjoyable return fight. So thank you!

[Rilla]

You

[Xavier Bloodbayne]

I was wondering how long it would be before you showed your mug around here!

[Doc Doctor]

@Xavier Bloodbayne

This fight could last a while since both characters are so damn hard to get rid of. That's what makes it good though. Plenty of time for each fighter to have their ups and downs as the advantage gets tossed back and forth. After post #50 I'll apply a new song to the match.

[Xavier Bloodbayne]

Precisely! A long and bloody battle is they way to go! You do whateber you need to!

[Rilla]

Lucky for you someone messaged me about something different. Otherwise it could have been weeks.

[Xavier Bloodbayne]

I had noticed that actually. Since you are usually the one from my past I see most consistently, you were the first one I looked up when I got back. The day I came back it said you had been seen 2 hours ago, so I only JUST missed you that day.

Good to see you btw!

[Xavier Bloodbayne]

My PS4 has been down for almost 4 months because of a broken HDMI port.(Gotta love kids lol)

It just got back from repair 3 days early, so you may not see me for the rest of today lol. I will see what I can do though!

[Doc Doctor]

@Xavier Bloodbayne

I'll post sometime tomorrow. Just got home from work, it's late, and I'm dog tired.

[Xavier Bloodbayne]

Our post count will go down in Arena history!!!

[Xavier Bloodbayne]

I feel there is a slight miscommunication somewhere in the posts. You seem to be under the impression Xavier pulled hard enough to change the angle of Auzs body. When in reality Xaviers upper body moved into your pull to lessen its power before he pulled only enough to stop you from moving too much. He didnt pull you in towards him, just stopped you from moving towards or away from him.

Also, you make it sound as though your feet are off the ground. Is this the case? Because you also say you never got the chance to jump..

[Doc Doctor]

@Xavier Bloodbayne

I thought Xavier was pulling Auz towards him, but if he's redirection the momentum then that changes things. Pulling on something that's already trying to move towards you absolutely doesn't kill any momentum. Pushing it away does.

As for Auz's footing, I never said both feet were off the ground. He's just in the midst of a stride and doesn't have anything bolted to the ground.

[Doc Doctor]

@Xavier Bloodbayne

Let me digress. I'm probably just missing something. Tomorrow after I get some sleep I'll have Auz get impaled and then respawn. After that you'll only need to kill him two more times! It'll be the first time in his history that someone had gotten so far.

[Xavier Bloodbayne]

The plan was to match the strength after bending into it slightly. The bend to cause a loss of power before Xavier did a very small pull. This would be maybe a few inches. So Auz pulled himself toward Xavier, Xavier leaned in slightly and then added pressure to stop the pull from pulling him. Hoping to also stop Auz from moving at all with it, rather than trying to pull him closer.

If that outcome still works for you after reading that than go ahead and post it.

In all my years this is the first fight to have gone this long. But its also the first one I didn't stop replying on so.... lol but so far it's still fun!

[Xavier Bloodbayne]

Just letting you know I haven't given up. We got hit with our first snow and I'm the snow shoveler at my work so i also ended up sick as shit. But i will work on something soon.

[Xavier Bloodbayne]

What I don't like here is the assumption that your move was innately faster. Xavier attacked a second time the instant Auz was wounded by his first blade. There was no delay in attacks and he was barely awaiting an outcome. The feint was Xavier leaving his left arm limply at his side, simply implying that you had rendered it useless. Xavier did not want you getting close, just assuming that you could. When the first blade hit, the second began its strike. Only a foot of incredible acceleration before the momentum was thrown forward. At the most, you could say they moved in unison. Which in my mind they were. Saying you just moved faster doesn't really cut it. I would like you to bare in mind that in Xaviers CS I have specified Acceleration is his most preferred means of increased speeds. So it's even possible he was capable of moving the blade at the perfect speed to catch you midstep. I chose those exact words for a moment like this, when it could come down to who can get going faster.

I don't mind your sword blow in the least, I feel confident in Xaviers ability to tank the majority of the blow.

[Doc Doctor]

@Xavier Bloodbayne

At this point, Auz should be significantly faster than Xavier. It's how he breaks even against Xavier's durability and strength. If his best swings can't cut through bone and blood armor, then it was a rather moot fight to begin with.

Even more credibility to it considering Auz was poised to strike the entire time, and Xavier's left arm was lowered. That's a feint based purely upon Xavier's physical prowess, like if I lowered my arm, let an angry eleven year old girl walk over, and then brought it back up to punch her in the face.

Speed is Auz's game much more so than Xavier's, so saying that Xavier can match Auz's strike is what doesn't cut it. Lending speed to a whip with a foot of motion should scarcely allow it to channel nary a fraction of the speed or power of Auz's swing, as it'd have far less mass behind it and as it grew out during the swing, it'd not have the full momentum of that meager foot. You seem to imply that the raw dynamic strength in Xavier's blood and body can boost him enough to match Auz. That pretty much gives him every advantage, in terms of strength, hard-to-killness, reach, and speed.

[Xavier Bloodbayne]

@Doc Doctor
I say the hit can be tanked simply because I have not yet run out of defenses. Xavier is built with interior defenses. A metallic skeletal structure which makes it very hard to lop off any limb with one strike. Ontop of that he is still coated with metal that can provide a split second minor increase in defense. The expected result is a partially severed head. No outcome is final. A blow to the skull is a bit harder to defend, but you chose the base of his neck.

And at this point the two would be matched, a point I tried to reiterate before. I understand Auz gets stronger and faster with each death. Where Auz may be able to move large distances faster. Xavier is able to cover short distances faster and with greater force. As well as being able to get going faster. This is the exact reason I chose to favor acceleration above out right speed.

Mind you Xavier was still poised to strike. I set the pieces for it in place around two posts back when I attached the metallic threads to his arm. Its a feint because I never intended to need a full swing, only a partial to get it moving. It would be hard to even see the blade move before the chain portion was created. Which is why I say it moves so fast, theres alot of momentum to carry it. No matter how "meager" you interpret that single foot.

Xavier is and always has been a battling machine. Every aspect of him was created with battling in mind. . For someone to be able to just surpass him is ludicrous. To match him in battle yes, I could see that.

By math, Auz is currently 335.1 units of speed faster than he was in the beginning. Starting with a base stat of 90/100.

Speed Math

90 * 0.25 = 22.5 + 90 = 112.5
112.5 * 0.25 = 28.125 + 112.5 = 140.625
140.625 * 0.25 = 35.15 + 140.65 = 175.78
175.78 * 0.25 = 43.95 + 175.78 = 219.73
219.73 * 0.25 = 54.93 + 219.73 = 274.66
274.66 * 0.25 = 60.4 + 274.66 = 335.1
Final speed stat - 335.1/100

I took the liberty of cranking your speed up to 100/100 since your CS clearly states he favors speed. But even that comes to only 381/100

Now Xavier is capable of delivering a full powered punch of around 3000lbs. The average person can deliver a punch around 178 lbs. While a karate black belt can deliver a 412lb hit. The highest recorded. Now if we say Auz begins with double the power of an average karate black belt, 824, it still does not put him on par with Xaviers muscular power. Which is also a direct correlation between speed.

Strength Math

824 * 0.25 = 206 + 824 = 1030
1030 * 0.25 = 256.5 + 1030 = 1287
1287 * 0.25 = 321.75 + 1287 = 1609.4
1609.4 * 0.25 = 402.35 + 1609.4 = 2011
2011 * 0.25 = 502.75 + 2011 = 2514
Final Punch Power = 2514

Now you will see here that Auz will fall short by around 500 lbs of muscular power. Something directly correlated with speed. Leaving them roughly around the same power level.

Keeping in mind that Xavier is clearly almost 10times stronger than the strongest average person, it would stand to reason that his speed would be on about the same level as this. A level which, according to math, Auz falls just short of.

So as I said, the two, if ANYTHING, are evenly matched right about now. Please remember also that I gave your character a power boost during the final equation. Your character sheet does not say that your character is twice as strong as a normal human. According to the original math of an average human your character would fall short by even more.

I will give Auz his slightly superior speed, but throw in Xaviers ability to get moving faster and they will still be able to almost cancel one another out.

All in all, Auz has increased his power by whopping 381%. An amazing jump but certainly not stronger than Xavier.

This is all based on the fact that your CS does not state any sort of physical and enhancementa. Just that he was given immortality.

You can't argue with math like that.
