For the life of me, I can't understand why you keep jumping to that annoying ass and completely out of nowhere conclusion about his magic. It's only emphasizing the need for me to cut it out entirely.

*sigh* Yeah, I suppose I do have to admit to my faults. I'd say that this is my first arena RP ever and that I'm not used to competitive writing, but that was something I should've addressed from the get-go. Sorry, Dral. I'll concede to you and just go off of your original post. I was still a little hot-blooded from Shradinger just jumping in and calling Herriman out as OP, so I've just been feeling arguementative lately, I suppose. Might as well surrender, while I'm at it. Call Herriman as overpowered as you want, but Mifune's just as overpowered. So far, he's dodged everything with pretty much no effort, and according to Dral (and Schradinger), he strikes so quickly that it's literally impossible to do anything about, he can run at 500 mph, and sense any attack coming. All I'm doing is adding length to the fight, there's literally no point. Can't hit him, can't dodge his attacks, can't surprise him.

Don't remove your magic. As you said this is your first arena go. Just adhere to your cs. If in doubt ask its the only way to learn. Also first rule of arena...we all lurk.

Large area-of-effect attacks, specifically anything that causes immediate or gradual immobilization as an after-effect. Alternatively, use something other than a melee attack; firearm, bows and crossbows of appropriate power (and therefore projectile velocity) come to mind. Dodging one mere bullet fired from a futuristic rifle is one feat of cheese that can be handwaved, but dodging canister rounds from another futuristic weapon with impunity would be called out as powerplaying I'd imagine.From what I've seen of the IC and OOC, you've approached the fight from the wrong angle.

Well, the kill on Priroda was mostly because she had opted to hang onto her sickle, for some reason that was beyond me. I was like "Welp, I'm pretty sure you can't get a bigger opening than this."

I was trying to get killed so that other people could fight. Due to complications in my schedule i couldnt post frequently, so i went for an OKO move that would either end in instant victory, or defeat. XD i wasnt too hard set on victory 'cuz :"You win some you loose some," and i didnt wanna argue any technicallities.
Daglobster said
wow, that just sucked away any self-confidence I had concerning that fight.

Fifth (and this one's for Drall), Dag does have a point about how you avoided his attack. If you're in midair, you don't have the leverage you'd need to alter your trajectory like that (at the very least, you'd have slammed into Herriman's chest), or spin around to attack like you did.
