While I greatly appreciate the praise/feedback, and I don't intend to leave the arena at large, I would just like to say this.

The fact that Raelis managed to even hold up against Khazna who was superior in the following manners...

Speed.
Perceptual acuity.
Magical nullification.
Attack range and breadth.

...is testament not to Khazna being balanced in a mid-tier tournament, but to my own ability to turn a shitty situation into something barely manageable.

I wish MelonHead luck in defeating a character that takes away most of his abilities and is also physically/perceptually superior to him in every way, but should he lose it would summarily prove my point that Khazna is FAR from mid-tier, even without his top speed.

To Greivous. I enjoyed our fight in the sense that it was a challenge to counter a character in a place which weakened mine (both in terms of movement and in terms of sapping his energy) and versing a character that matched him in perceptual speed, but removed most of his magical might and was capable of countering him even in base physical combat based on Khazna's speed and ability to cut through essentially anything with his blades.

It was challenging and it helped me learn some things about Raelis' peak abilities.

However, did I find it fun to fight a character that is clearly of higher tier than Raelis. Not really...honestly. It was infuriating multiple times. Perhaps in the future you should reconsider Khazna's tier. Just saying.

I know I need to rewrite some of Raelis' CS to be more clear about his abilities so yeah.

Oh yeah, I have a single question for you [@GreivousKhan]; If you had replied to my latest post, did Khazna have a way out of that maneuver?
