[OOC] Hearts of Metal: A Giant Robot/Mecha RP

[Dolerman]

alright will get a post up, might be a bit shorter than usual

[LHG100]

Really? Lels. That'd make for a great movie, honestly.

@Dynamo Frokane, And sorry for being a huge dipshit for a while there. I need to git gud.

[Dolerman]

@LHG100 youre not a dipshit bro, its just an awkward thing about combat based RP we got these here rules, y'see?

[LHG100]

Yeah I know, just admitting I was having a huge 'ermagerd wuts a herpaderp' moment.

[redbaron1234]

@LHG100 RP fights strike me as being a lot like Professional Wrestling in that you gotta rely on the other person to help you 'sell' that the fight is intense and keep up the 'kayfabe' of the setup. But yeah, it helps if you leave your posts open ended.

Don't be too nervous though, this is my first IC fight as well. Stumbles are expected.

[Dolerman]

@Cassowarysaur its your turn, boy do I envy your frame, chilling in the water.

[redbaron1234]

@Dynamo Frokane
@Cassowarysaur

I now have a mental image of Yeshua doing his best Jaque Cousteau impression while narrating his actions to himself.

[LHG100]

OH MY GOD.

WE SHOULD HAVE DONE TIHS AND YOU ALL KNOW IT. DJ METALFACE. MILES HOGAN. YESHUA SAVAGE.

So much potential.... LOOST TO TIEM.

And yeah that's actually a really good analogy. supar easy to digest, I doeth believe.

[redbaron1234]

@LHG100... I believe that is basically what that "Real Steel" movie was, only with boxing.

[knighthawk]

Escaflowne is good as well. Ye ole magical mecha

[Ariamis]

@Cassowarysaur can post now.

[Cassowarysaur]

I'm awake now, guys. Still reeling back pschologically from that feels-trip known as NGE. I'm not sure how in-depth of a post I can get with myself underwater, but I'll give it a go.

Did ramirez really just dodge every explosive round shot shot on the quick draw? really?

Lets not forget the Ramirez should have been expecting to Komodo to be halted, spin around and attack when he was following...

EDIT: I hate to be 'that guy' I really do, but I dont think the rose should be 'easily' keeping up with the Komodo in afterburner mode, they are the same armor class, and Komodo has a slightly higher synchro so the Rose shouldn't be that much faster. After burner is essentially 'boosting at top speed' mode and isnt able to fight normally at that thrust just escape.

@Dynamo Frokane

No, he didnt dodge them all, I'll go back through and edit.

No, he didnt dodge them all, I'll go back through and edit. If komodo is using explosive rounds, it has a slower rate of fire and easier to dodge with the drone data, if it is using its gattling gun then its higher rate of fire is more standard rounds and his armor can take more punishment. He minimized the damage as he kept pushing through as his frame is made for taking the punishment. Where komodo is making lots of side to side motions, having to move then shift his momentum into another direction like a hornet/wasp where ramirez is just making slight variations to his approach and keeps on approaching in roughly the same direction the whole time.

I would say with the higher synchro rate, he has the ability to take a sniper round to minimal, and open fire on ramirez, and still dodge out of the way of another person using both a shotgun and melee punch of doom with all his focus on someone he already was spending so much time and mental energy on.

But I wouldn't say that his synchro rate would have anything to do with going faster than another frame made for closing the distance on an enemy. All frames have the capability of space flight, even archers frame can break atmosphere under its own power. so therefor everyone has afterburners unless komodo was built for superior speed.

Thank you for not trying to be 'that guy', but you got three people attacking you and a 4th providing a bonus to those attacks.

@knighthawk

Well lets be clear, while the rounds are slower ramirez was still taken by suprise, as he didnt expect Komodo to come to halt.
I take your point about the hornet movements but they are small strafes, not large erractic movements, mecha combat dictates you attack while moving to avoid counters, similar to keeping your head moving while boxing, small slips make all the difference its not a huge amount of energy.

Now lets be clear so you don't misrepresent the situation, Krista's sniper round glanced the komodo's shoulder which caused a large concussion but not direct damage.

I also didnt dodge any punches or shotgun, Koehler was thinking about that attack but held it back and gave me a chance to 'see what I do first' so there was no attacks to dodge, he simply approached me.

My main point about the speed is that after being shot and hit by at least one of the rounds, ramierz should not be able to 'chase the coward with ease' The shots should disrupt your approach in someway.

So just to correct you I have one person attacking me
one who has released drones around me but not made any sort of assualt yet
one who has simply approached me
and one who shot at me and is racing away from me towards the river area.

[knighthawk]

I would say Ramirez would have been surprised if komodo had suddenly hit retrorockets and came to a full stop, not shot by heavy artillery from someone he was in contact with and put to a halt from kinetic force. He was already establishing a target lock while chasing after in the first place instead of just firing off the gun into Komodos back.

But lets take the same situation and overlay the two. Komodo got hit and came to a full stop then flew away. If rose got hit and came to a full stop, then he could also fly away. Both would have the same speed from afterburners but rose has the data boost to plot an interception course and reach melee weapons to close the difference.

And thank you for the corrections about who is doing what.

[Cassowarysaur]

Guys, I can be skipped for a bit as I'm currently busy. I'll try and post as soon as possible.

[Ariamis]

@Cassowarysaur, thanks for letting me know.@redbaron1234 can now post.

[Ariamis]

I have been asked to once again bring a verdict on the situation, and I have comments to make:

@Dynamo Frokane, you describe the Komodo shooting at Rose multiple times from various angles like a wasp. However, this is impossible since Komodo is a Medium-class, and he is pursued by a Light-Medium and Light-speed Frame respectively. At that point in time he only has enough time to shoot a couple of times at Rose from when his momentum stopped before Roxy and Diver caught up to him. Also, you made attacks and moved two zones in a single post, which is an illegal move; you can either make your attacks and move one zone or move two zones without attacking. This also applies to Rose when pursuing Komodo.

Rose established a target lock without attacking in the previous post, and to add to that Ramirez has data on the Black Komodo's movement trajectories, so he can pursue him and attack him, but not without a struggle; Rose is unable to grapple with his vine whip, but can connect with a physical whipping on one of Komodo's feet.

EDIT: Due to Dynamo leaving the RP, Rose's grappling action has succeeded, and the two Frames have stayed in zone A. @redbaron1234, your posting turn has been extended by a day.
