[OOC] Dragon Ball: Universe Zero

[FalloutJack]

@Darkmoon Angel@BladeSS4@Balthazar007

I feel like I should give the other two a chance to respond first, if they want to. (If you guys are busy, I'll push ahead.)

[BladeSS4]

I can make a response, to be honest I was waitting for Balthazar to officially finish up the fight after Bakuto fell backwards. But with Niko and Angela coming to Bakuto to help him back up, guess the result was finished

[Balthazar007]

@BladeSS4

I guess I could go next. I can introduce that festival idea. Then you all can show what you're doing during the festival. Whether Angela wants to or not, it is tradition for her to participate, as well as for Bakuto.

Niko, not making it to the finals can sneak off.

So, I'll post this in a few hours. Then you all can go whenever you like.

[Darkmoon Angel]

Oh... So I guess we know what era of the Dragon Ball universe we're in now. Was not expecting Pan xD

[Double]

Okay, it is morally and critically imperative that I ask this next question:

Goku Jr and Vegeta Jr when? XD

[FalloutJack]

At a time when we meet the still-old-but-somehow-still-active Master Roshi?

[BladeSS4]

Wasnt expecting Pan either. Didnt even know we were in the same universe universe as any canon characters. Figured this was like Dragon Ball Super's multiple universes. Maybe I am still right and this universe just has its own Pan and Hercule. But I could also be wrong.

@BladeSS4

We are in a parallel universe. Where many events are similar to cannon, but somethings are different. Rule of thumb is that you can speak of anything that happened in cannon, but don't speak of it as fact. Keep referring to events as legends and stories, just like you all are doing now. The fun will be finding out which things did happen in this universe, which things didn't happen, and which things did happen but not in the way the legends describe.

@Double@FalloutJack

First of all, nice fight music.

Secondly, I won't be able to respond till I get my laptop back from my daughter who is using it for school.

[FalloutJack]

@Balthazar007 Academics take precidence. No worries.

[FalloutJack]

@Balthazar007 Bal, don't copy and paste from the previous fights. I'm not fighting Bakuto and I'm not playing a she.

@FalloutJack

Haha!

Fixed

[FalloutJack]

Trying a different tact. With the advent of 'My defense can wear you down', I invoke the possibility that 'My speed can bring you down'.

[Double]

I'd also like to point out that we've now had two rounds of posting each with little or no actual attacks being thrown or landing. I'll tell you this, though, Han DOES have a tactical goal in mind with his constant feint attacks (or rather, I do) but its going to be up to you to try and figure out what that angle is.

[Double]

Alright then, the angle I was going for has been successfully circumvented. So depending on how long the fight was going to go on for, my general strategy was getting to the point where Han had spent less of his Ki then Niko had and use that moment to go on the offensive for a more aggressive attack. I'm revealing this now because Niko's successful blow against Han... pretty much meant I had to pivot to a different tact altogether, hence my IC post's whole spiel about battle plans not surviving the engagement and split decisions sometimes needing to be made "in the moment". I assessed the outcome of that clash and decided, yeah, this was gonna have to be one of those split decision moments for this encounter to not end up being a waste of time. xD

[FalloutJack]

@Double First, I wanna say that I like Wu Han's style. I wasn't allowed to make Niko realize too quickly what was going on, so what this led to was basically him learning from what he took from Angela's epic victory. If it had been anybody but someone who lost to her like he or Bakuto did, it might've gone differently. Second, I like the way you handled this, now that things have shifted slightly. You even made it look like 'Oh, he dropped this.'. (I'll be responding soonish.)

[Darkmoon Angel]

I didn't want to interrupt the little sparring match, so I'm gonna assume it's safe to make a post on the festival side of things, right?

[FalloutJack]

Can't imagine why not.

[Double]

You know, not for nothing, but my strategy was actually working. Han only used 26 vs Niko using 45 or so. The terrain was my downfall, it seems.

[FalloutJack]

@Double All true. Han's approach to battle was unexpected and obviously works in normal cirucmstances.
