[OOC] The Hot Headed, Heavy Hitters, Have it Out (Fury vs Kanitah, Round 2)

[LeeRoy]

Alright, so it's safe to go ahead and post?

[MelonHead]

Yeah, everything is as it should be right now.

[MelonHead]

I think you have imagined the scene the other way around, imagine Kanitah lying on his back, Fury is initially kneeling with both legs on Kanitah's left hand side, Kanitah has just had to use his right elbow (rather awkwardly) to stop Fury's own attack from the left hand side. Fury needs to get his left leg around Kanitah's right hand side to obtain the full mount. Meanwhile the only hand Kanitah has free for any sort of offensive strike has just blocked an elbow, and Fury is tight to Kanitah's body making any sort of decent punch difficult anyway.

Check out this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wYR63ZsbI4 for the reference I used for the takedown.

[LeeRoy]

Oh I totally do, lemme rewrite my post.

[LeeRoy]

Aight, edits are made.

[LeeRoy]

@MelonHead So if I'm reading your post correctly, you're putting Kanitah's legs outside of Fury's? Putting his knees between Kanitah's legs?

Or am I reading that wrong?

[MelonHead]

Not exactly, he's letting his weight fall forward briefly to hook Kanitah's legs, it's easier to hook someone's legs from the inside when you're already tight to their sides, to hook your legs out from below they'd have to make their legs bend inwards past the natural width of their waist if you get what I mean.

It does require him to relinquish some of the grip he had around Kanitah's body with his knees though, but in theory the grip is maintained by the hook legs instead. (I think maintaining contact is important in grappling with two super humans, because they have to contest eachother with strength rather than using body weight which most fighters would use, being down on ones back isn't really that much of a disadvantage to an opponent that can easily throw Fury's weight around like it's a bag of flour)

It's kind of a complicated situation. Actually, I'm going to have Fury attempt a choke rather than trying to control the arm, I think it suits his character better, give me a moment to edit.

[LeeRoy]

So Fury's holding his right hand down and they're just about face to face?

[MelonHead]

I've changed it somewhat, and they would be relatively close, considering what Fury's trying to do his head would be to the left hand side of Kanitah's as he applies pressure and tries to get around his head, impeded somewhat by your character's forearms (though not massively, holding ones forearms out seem like they would be useful for blocking punches, but not much good for grappling.)

[LeeRoy]

@MelonHeadSo my head is pressed against your chin? Or neck? And my arms are just sort of underneath your chest? Sort of lying there uselessly?

@LeeRoy

I guess so, I can't really say what Kanitah is going to do when Fury lets his weight fall on him because you haven't done it yet. If you left your forearms out they'd be moderately sandwiched between Kanitah and Fury's bodies, but I doubt you'd do that, you'll probably try and get your own grip around Fury's neck or something, that's what people tend to do in grappling.

Like I said, I can't really say what the end product will look like, because you have to contribute to it.

[MelonHead]

By the way, don't worry much about having Kanitah affected by the energy drain, by my reckoning our characters probably haven't been in contact for longer than like three seconds, so the drain is negligible at the moment.

[LeeRoy]

Oh I knew that much, it's just 4 am and I have had zero sleep. I'm trying to get a better image of the scene. I'll have a post up in like, either a half hour of a full hour. Depends on how the campaign we're running lasts.

@LeeRoy

Righty-oh, I was a little confused as to how I was having this conversation with an American when it's 9 a.m in the morning here.

Then again, it's usually me awake at stupid hours at night to maintain flowing conversation with you guys, so it's all fair.

[LeeRoy]

I totally get that, I'm getting hopped up on coffee so I don't fall asleep.

[LeeRoy]

@MelonHead Post incoming.

[MelonHead]

Does Kanitah have rings on his palms as well? I'm assuming he does, because that's the only way he has a hope in hell of doing -anything- with an open palm strike to an armoured stomach with literally no space to build up momentum.

[LeeRoy]

Sort of like this, but two. But the force multiplication just works on the bodyparts, not directional.

[LeeRoy]

On an unrelated note, you ever have those kinds of dreams where it's just way too realistic?

I had one of those just before I woke up this morning. My roommates were mocking me violently, like standing over me and shit. Was weird as hell, because when I woke up they weren't there.

[MelonHead]

I've had really mundane dreams which feel realistic. I also had a dream where I played an entire game of something, woke up and commended my imagination for making up a game so well.
