I'd be happy to attempt a big cinematic fight with Ysolda once I get my new high tier character submitted and approved. I love the cinematic stuff myself, though haven't really tried to focus on it in a fight as of yet.

Well, Ysolda is dead and I really don't know if/when I'll care enough about her again to go through the process of posting in the limbo-esque thread and revivng her in a new place. If it weren't for that, I would be more than happy to be your cinematic fight partner.

Derp. Meant to copy the above stuff and edit it into my previous post. Brain fart. Yay.

If you can justify your character killing himself, I can justify mine blowing up a mecha.

Yes. Justify. So THAT'S what the kids are calling "Shut up I'm not talking to you anymore" these days.

TheBiddz said Beta, I can really empathize with your love of over the top, cinematic fights.

And you continue to gain my respect.

I said Erde could handle it

Yeah, but was I really expected to sit back and diddle myself while you two had what I THOUGHT was going to be all the fun?

And to that end, I feel like if you got the upper hand... a "LOLBYEGUYSNUKE!" would have occured, much like it did when Genocide got scared of a rock and a lady with big titties and glowing sparkly armor.

Beta - What in the name of the great old ones are you on about? Your dude took one look at the mecha and decided the only way to defeat it was to kill himself. I decide to sacrifice my mecha (which Edmund is very capable of fighting without) to mash you, and you guys question the tactical value of it? A move that meant a safe and rapid escape. Are you serious?

So let's get it straight;

Ysolda's wants to kill herself to destroy the mecha = Ok.
The mecha self-destructs after it's driver escapes = Lawlmakesnosense.

Huh. Well, as long as we're on the same page.

Yeah. It literally makes no sense.

Your guy is in a planet-killer... yet feels the only way to kill a rock-man and a woman who is dodgy and has an armor-suit made of light... is to flee the scene and nuke TRILLIONS of dollars worth of hardware because "LOLBYEGUYS".

Whereas a woman who has lived for centuries, seen many things that are very powerful, yet STILL not seen anything close to as destructive as a half-mile tall doomtank... chooses a suicide run against it for the greater good of a planet.

Tell me. Which makes more sense here?

Green said Genocide, his name should really speak for itself, launched 2400 missiles at a single city, instead of conserving them for the planetary wipe he was ordered to commence. Making the most logical and cost-efficient choices really isn't in his nature.

LOL because he doesn't also have a fucking doom-laser that you stated could carve MILES into the earth. ... he fucking needs missiles to murder a planet... why, again? I'm sorry, Green... you're really not making a lot of sense anymore.

Green said Do I have to point out that you were about to suicide-bomb the mecha after standing around for three posts while I was fighting LeeRoy? That would have ended just as anti-climatically. No need to be upset just because I beat you to it.

It's not MY fault you can't figure out that catching her unaware would have been a big fuck-you to the whole spellcasting thing. Don't be upset because you had no choice but to suicide bomb to win. Keep the pressure on, don't stop attacking, stop her from finishing her spells.

Literally... fire off a time delay attack, or a homing rocket or something... something that she can't just dodge and resume incantations. It's NOT that fucking hard. To outright dodge a homing rocket (with smart-targeting, which I would think a half-mile tall doomtank would have somewhere... but you just stated the missiles rained down death), for example... I would have to bur nothing but perfect dodges the entire time... and have no room to attack. Then, when out of motes of essence, I am fucked.

On the flipside... if I chose to attack, I'd take a few homing rockets to the brainium in order to do so.

Not hard.

GG.

However, on the self destruction:
That was a bit petty, I'll be honest. That wasn't really strategic self destruction, more like suicide bombing yourself to survive another person's attack because you didn't want them to win.

Oh, you must have gotten sent one of my acceptances by mistake. You know, to go with the other six.

Joking aside, I got in. Now I just have to figure out how to make a page for him and then put him up on the wiki.

Perhaps take the important story and personality bits from his CS and put them there, along with an image and a brief note about his abilities.

Green said I don't really know what you're talking about. What attitude? Did you want me to go easy on you? I could totally have done that if you asked me to ahead of time.

Go easy? No. Make the fight fucking entertaining? Yes.

Again, I'm not in it to win it. I'm in it for the joy that RPing brings to my otherwise dismal existence. Hence my appreciation for the more cinematic... the artistic flair... the over-the-top... etc. I want a high-tier fight to be like... in FFVII:AC when everyone was fighting Bahamut Sin, or Goku vs Frieza, or Kenpachi Zaraki vs Kaname Tousen... I like the fucking badass moments where cool shit happens... not the "HA YOU LEFT AN OPENING NOW YER DEAD" stuff that you tell me you're all about.

But it's too fucking late, man... The moment is passed and I really am rather miffed, if that wasn't obvious.

LeeRoy said
It wasn't a fight, it was a complicated execution. As only one individual managed to attack.

Exactly this. FUCK shit like this.

And it returns to Erde being the only high tier on Necropoli. Albeit, I will have to write a few posts where he goes mining for materials to reshape a bronze skeleton from scratch.

It's a shame, really. I put a lot of work into Ysolda. But I can not be fucked in any way shape or form to give a shit about the fight anymore.

I think taking a forum arena battle that seriously isn't exactly healthy.

I fight for cinematic purposes.

Hence my appreciation for a more cinematic battle that is both fun to write and to read. As for Ysolda surviving... I really have stopped caring. Your "GRRARGHSUPERSRS" approach and attitude to this thing has utterly killed my drive to even bother. I was going to have her take a longshot and hide inside that groove she was holding onto (as in the picture it is at LEAST fifteen feet wide, given that mech's height, more than enough for her AND her essence armor to fit into) and ride out the blast using your own nuke-proof armor as sort of a sail to ride the shockwave. But frankly, she can die now for all I care.

Don't get me wrong, I can be a HELL of a fighter when I want to be. But generally I find myself having much more fun when a fight is taken lightly, played out in a manner pleasing to read and imagine, and not two or more people looking for the first chance they get to assfuck the opponents with no lubrication. Truth be told, I've really only gone apeshit wild on someone like... 4 times in the 10 years I've been RPing. I really just don't like doing it unless there's one hell of a point to prove. Barring that, I fight for fun, not to win.
