[quote=@MelonHead] Upon reading the sheet further I summarised that the user of the ability maybe underplayed their own abilities, as there was reference to 'becoming' a lightning bolt and moving at the speed of 260mph, which we both know is not how fast an actual lightning bolt moves, I assume the ability was used more like a fantasy 'magical bolt of lightning' rather than what we see in a lightning storm.[/quote] As Decoy pointed out it was a self imposed limitation, but even then even if it wasn't after a certain amount of mphs it becomes irrelevant and with a proper pvp build you could at least hope to survive or win quick enough to not lose. [quote=@Melonhead]I can see how an auto-defence mechanic allows you to mitigate attacks such as the one described, I have to confess I'm not overly familiar with auto-defence as the predominant system for fighting used here is the T1 Eden Era system which involves using preps to actively attack and defend. Not to say they're not seen, but usually at the higher levels of play where gunfire and projectiles in general become borderline obsolete without sufficient energy or creativity divulged in their usage.[/quote] That's fine. We have many other working mechanics and not all characters have to be human to qualify. Mismatch and disparity is a norm in pvp and Mitsu, being strong, will have to rely on his mixup rather than his actual element (this has happened before in other sites he played in). [quote=@Melonhead]Ultimately, I'm not really cut out for this tier level of play anyway. I consider myself overall pretty competent at low and mid powered combat, but there is a pretty significant division from logic and real world grounding that one has to basically accept to move into the higher tier of character power. It's all just a little too abstract for me at those power levels, though I will definitely enjoy reading some of the fights that come out of this tournament if it finds its players. [/quote] Just power of roleplaying and you take things as is not as is real life all the time. This is why I said mid-high as opposed to mid to high. The former stating that we are still within the "middle" range while having some obscene levels of power. I know people want to have some fun too.
