[OOC] The Black Mountain Tournament: Trixi Vs. Gonad

[Doc Doctor]

@Fallenreaper
Yup, which is why it's a good idea to fight on the fringes of Gonad's reach. At least, better than trying to beat him at his own game. Even that sort of thing doesn't work so well anymore because I've already learned from opponents attacking Gonad's arms as he tries to nail 'em. Not really advice you can use, but perhaps it might inspire a new gameplan!

I wish it could but right now my confidence is pretty shot, realizing I'm out of my league right now and pissed at myself for my inexperience/lacking knowledge, so now I've got writer's block. I'm sorry to say I might just have to give this one to ya since I'm basically crippling myself with second guessing over every little idea I think is doable that I can't even connect with Trixi. And I really don't want to give you a shitty post because of it. *sighs*

So much for this experience being fun...

Like they say in golf, "Play Through". You can't always get out of a tight spot, but you can make the best of it. Even if Trixi is down you can still gain experience and build up characterization by not giving up. Hardly anyone starts off with a win in competitive fight writing. But really, no more O.O.C talk. Stick through to the end and don't worry, just flow with the characters and enjoy the story. I personally find that applying humor really helps liven things up!

@Fallenreaper Doc makes some good points.

As he said, there is little for you to lose here. Even if you make a mistake, what's the worst that could happen? We're not going to get super pissed at you if you screw up a move or whatever. There's nothing to be afraid of.

The other thing is, you seem to be sure that you're going to lose. This is not necessarily true: I did win my first competitive fight, and there's nothing to stop you from pulling off a similar victory. If you can't, no big deal. If you do, it's something to brag about :P so why not try?

[Fallenreaper]

@Doc Doctor *looks worried and edgy* You're up.

See, one issue I don't think you realize is this: Trixi's defense when it comes to taking damage is human level. Not super as you might think despite her ability to lift like 500 pound. You've made it clear from your statements (Gonad being able to contend with an armor human) already if he was allowed a single punch, it would end up killing or basically putting Trixi out of commission. In my mind, she can't even block your attacks without suffering serious damage and possibly bruising or fracturing a bone trying it. That's why she's not attempted to block him.

The reason it's like this was because of her strength and tasing ability. IF she had a good defense and ability to take a lot of punched or high power ones, she wouldn't have the taser ability because I would feel it's too OP for this Tourney. My friends believe I have serious OP fear which is pretty true and results in me underplaying my PC's abilities just to be on the safe side of fair so I end up taking hits when I shouldn't because I fear trying to logically dodge, counter or block them might be way too far-fetched, coming off as OP... :/

Right now, plain and simple as I told Pollen: I'm terrified of plain just making a move and being wrong in what damage I'm allowed to avoid or suppose to take.

None of my matches ever got this far before they abruptly ended so I don't have the practice or confidence in what I'm allowed reasonably.

The same issue cropped up with my last match because I didn't want to assume Trixi, despite her strength being speed, could easily dodge Nicoli's attacks. Granted, I learned a weakness I hadn't considered with Trixi in that one...

Also posted as you can see and it wasn't easy because I felt I went too far and was tempted to cripple her speed due to that fear. I'm taking Pollen's suggestion about being being bold and so playing Trixi how I originally saw her, hoping I'm not too OP or unreasonable. I presented the reasons it would be hard to sneak attack her with that move due to her history so while he might've done it subtly, her mind would assume multiple things which I didn't fully put on the Ic. Sorry if it's a little hard to read, I was massively struggling with it.

@Doc Doctor

I'll reply tomorrow, and oh, thank you. The reply to my post has made me relaxed a bit more btw. This should be a fun fight though I think Gonad finally did something to surprise a Hunter. :p It's almost as bad as the damn monkey demon.

[Doc Doctor]

@Fallenreaper

One should be happy when they visit the doctor.

[Fallenreaper]

Doc, and no this is not nervousness, but rather clarifying I got the image right. It was a bit hard to follow, though still enjoyable. Mainly as I want my reply to flow well with the image I got as the end result because I think my Pc just surprised me if I'm right. Here’s the series of events I’m imagining, let me know if something doesn’t ring true so I can adjust some.

1. Foot still going back, but seems to switch to a back step thanks to her dodge. (If it continued and the baton hit, he would fall on and likely crush her… guess what gravity works! XD And yes, I realize her electricity would’ve have not done her a lick of good in that case haha..) → in addition his right backhanded fist, followed by his left, would come about at an angle toward her back (I think it would hit likely middle rather than lower, even at the angle since her body is lower, but still hellish damage) and hit.

2. If she didn’t finish out her attack and retreated, he would complete his turn shifting his weight to his left into a roundhouse kick at her right leg that would carry through to her other knocking- and likely breaking- her legs out from under her. (giving full signs he was going through with it, but its feint) → Instead, if she retreated instead of staying put then he would come around and shout boo.

Did I understand that series of events and didn’t miss anything? You had other stuff mentioned in addition, which I assume was stating mostly aftermath if she continued the baton hit, so I had to break down the post and hopefully not miss anything. When I know if I got the right image or not, I'll have a reply up shortly.

In a more humorous note, I think she would be more worried about him falling and crushing her with his naked body than him getting his hands on her. *mind went right into the gutter on that one*

@Fallenreaper
1. All that is right except Gonad is striking with an open hand and not a fist, and is purposefully aiming for her lower back just in case there is a waistband or belt to latch on to.

2. Yup, Gonad is totally not kicking her, just being a dumbass.

That's just about all.

@Doc Doctor

I just wanted to make sure, when I imagined it, the end result came out with Trixi making a suggest after he spooked the living hell out of her. Something I wasn't expecting though how he reacts will determine what happens.

[Fallenreaper]

@Doc Doctor: Have the post started at least, aim to have it up before tom nite I swear cause I know what I want to do. Just writing it out is taking longer because too many ideas. >,< However, I need to get to bed and need to sleep.

[Fallenreaper]

@Doc Doctor

You're up and worse part, that reaction felt so damn right for her. XD I couldn't, for the life of me, get her to get back into attacking after that boo.

[Fallenreaper]

@Doc Doctor Back to you, enjoy it. Trixi is nervous as hell btw. :p

[Fallenreaper]

Is he shoving forward to knock her off balance or aiming a kick at her one leg? 0_o

[Doc Doctor]

@Fallenreaper
Just shoving. He's strong enough that a kick isn't needed to topple someone.

@Doc Doctor

I thought so much, just had to make sure.

[Fallenreaper]

I think that closes this match as I already stated her falling down so it was nice fighting you.

[Doc Doctor]

@Fallenreaper

Was a fun battle, but I don't think the roleplay is over yet. Gonad has another surprise for Trixi, and it's not a mean one.

@Doc Doctor

It's a little hard for me to reasonable figure out how to weasel out of this. Trixi would naturally hit the ground which Gonad's moves clearly starts to grip her ankles, and she can't really react much while falling. Namely as she's in a awkward position and while Salem was a succubus, the human body can only flex so much even as a contortionist before it breaks the realm of reality. And let's be frank, I'm pretty sure this match proves I don't understand the basics or foundation of T1 like I thought I did so I wouldn't even know how to begin to counter or react to this.

[Doc Doctor]

@Fallenreaper

Gonad wants to try and sneak Trixi into the finals though, since it's not possible to proceed without having killed you opponent. Probably he wants to make her one of his students.
