Yup, it's fine now. Hopefuly i'll have my answer up sooner than last time. XP
Just to clarify your post, You say Ido struck Sol in the solar plexus with his foot then dodged the blade, however the blade is closer to Ido then Ido is to Sol's solar plexus. :?
GM
Bah, poor wording on my part. He dodges as he lands. Hunching forwards with his whole body would come naturaly with continuing the elbow strike, especialy when doing so to create a downwards force, since the more mass Ido puts into this, the faster he descends.
i'll admit i'm a little confused. He brought himself closer to the ground. How does this stop him from getting hit by the blade, does he land before Sol gets in range or what? Even if he knows the blades path that doesn't mean he can dodge it, i'm just stabbing upwards, i can change it based on your movement as well.
GM
He hunches forwards, then brings his back parallel to the blade and puts his calf in front of Sol's hand to prevent him from changing the blade's position. Sol can't immediately change the stab's trajectory, and Ido just has to hunch in mid-air, which he way already doing the the previous post when he threw the elbow strike, and turn another 45 degrees while stretching his right leg backwards. Pretty easy and fast to do. That isn't necessarily a dodge - he still gets hit - but the attacks goes against his ribs, not inbetween. Considering how little power and speed there will be in launching an attack from prone position, where it is incredibly hard to engage any muscles but those of your arms, i'd say his ribs would stay intact.
GM
P.S. - you cannot just interrupt you attack whenever you want. If your opponent dodges, and you don't mention the possibility of altering the blade's trajectory in the previous post, then you ought to finish it the way you started. You can stop it midway once you see him dodge, but not change the trajectory. Only if your opponent's actions directly prevents you from acting you may chose a diffrent course of action.
A good example is in the OOC of one of the fights here. If you're interested, just find a thread name "Open Challenge", the first few posts by Schradinger explain it pretty well.

Alright i just found your post kinda hard to visulaize we good
GM
Awright. 
I'll watch my wording next time Ido performs some crazy stunt like that.

Hrm. As far as i understand, Ido would be flung away from Sol at approximately 150 MPH, inheriting the forcefield's impulse, while also launching two bolts at 240 MPH in mid air. I cannot fathom how Sol would be fast enough to both get to his feet, dodge the two blasts, which actualy are, mind you, well aimed, and then catch up with Ido.
The two bolts travel at speeds greater than 100 m/s, so if Ido would launch the two bolts even some 20 meters away from Sol, it would take only 200 milliseconds for them to reach him. Morever, the forcefield would be covering 4 meters within 50 milliseconds, while pushing Ido ahead of itself and also accelerating him to a similar speed, so Ido would be at quite a distance away from Sol even before he is on his feet.
Plus, Kzich is supposed to be transparent. Sure, i didn't mention any color in its description - but that itself means that i did not intend it to be colored.

Sol would be traveling at least 100mph on contact with the ground decreasing from friction. Sol is aware of the fact that Ido can launch things so he would automatically want to dodge anything given Ido's hands pointing at him, also given them 200milliseconds of respond time if we use this convenient website the fastest recorded time on it 102ms, which would almost certainly be slower than the fastest reaction time in the world would still give Sol almost a full 100ms to react assuming he was unaware of the attack beforehand. Assuming we leave Sol being supernaturally fast and strong with a reaction time no greater than a human which is perfectly fair. Ido would be traveling at less than 150mph given force fields force-his force. Sol is getting up as soon as Ido moves far enough to let him move his arm again so almost instantly, as soon he lands he runs and starts to accelerate as soon as Ido receives the force from the force field getting up and running with at least a base speed of 50mph and rapidly accelerating. Ido would either launch the bolts at his head body or legs, most likely head or body given Ido's position in the air(goop direction wasn't specified.) jumping would dodge both body and leg shots. Sol throws himself probably at this point near double Ido's in the air speed and his blade is about 5.2 feet long at this point he doesn't need to be terribly close. I did however assume Kzich is black as I was comparing it to tar, apologizes. Also i implied that the force field only went as far as to negate Ido's momentum and push him up and backwards rather then expanding to its full length, i should have been more specific.

May I point out the more real world physics you apply to fictional characters that exceed anything that exists ruins what is a writing game. You need to out think the other to land hits and avoid them. Applying any numerical value to anything these fictional characters do in anything other than generalizations will simply ruin a writing not physics game.
Look at Fury and Freedom our characters are immensley powerful but numbers are only used to emphasize things not be relied upon to make the fight. What makes the fight is the writing.

Well, if the forcefield does not expand to its full extent (though you didn't specify it as being able to so at all, so i shouldn't be taking this as a vaild argument), then Ido will a scant 5 meters within Sol by the time he gets to react to the forcefield. Then the two bolts of Kzich will travel only for 50 milliseconds.
Skallagrim, Eklipse, i understand that this may seem silly, but to a certain extent, it makes a fight more fair. I won't do silly things, you won't do them either, and thus, our characters are fighting the they were intended to be, and not slightly more powerful than that for the sake of winning.
Morever, these calculations are really simple. After brainstorming for a counter, i spend less than 5 minutes thinking of a post's viability, and usualy it is done while washing the dishes or going for a walk. How can that ruin anything? It's only when it sparks into a debate that it may seem unpleasant - well, for that, i am to blame.

It is silly but if you both chose to do it then please continue.
GM
So, what do we make of this?

I say continue on ignoring his posts.
GM
Sorry. Got a bit bogged down by school and a general lack of mood for roleplaying. I'll have some time to post today tho.
GM
Post finished. I'll defenitly be able to return to my usual posting schelude after next week.
