I didn't argue with them at the end of the day, because those guys are far worse about defending interrupts than anyone I've met here so far. However, I did agree that his character was calable, and that wasn't my issue. Sure, ya gonna turn my vacuum against me? Fine. I can easily manipulate those present factors and recover. But my actions were A)Nulled because REASONS, and really flimsy(imo) pretenses as to why doing so was oh-so-logical, and B)resulted in my death.

I wasn't even offered an opportunity to deal with it. I told him I wasn't exactly cool with the action for the above reasons, which turned into judges, which ended in me being dead... Because reasons. Because he can just, at will, interrupt anything he pleases. Like I said, it wasn't even the action, it was how it was carried out, and why it was allowed to be carried. And the short answer to me came down to 'interrupts' yet again. I lost a match(and was endlessly irritated in those i won) because of the Willy nillyness, and freedom the interrupt system provided, hence why I have an established separate system. My question was 'well shit, if he can interrupt that legally, what the hell CANT he interrupt?'

That interrupt falls into the 'stupid uses' of interrupts to me as opposed to mechanically fair and logical interrupts that you and I touched on earlier with the sword strike scenario.

Note: we were using the ol' one attack rule. So the vacuum and fire were not two separate actions, but one continuous action(which also came up to the judges, but was ultimately ignored), which is why I was so upset he could just slap it out of the air with virtually no work put in other than maybe googling how vacuums work. He killed me by 'countering' an attack that never occurred lol, hitting every interrupt cliche on the way down from 'reflex speed' to the ever-old 'i iz not gunna stand dere while you do stuff that took literally half a second.'

Shit, maybe there's just some lure or secret to it I'm not getting. I have fought plenty of people with interrupts without any issues, and then ya get stuff like the above, bit when stuff like the above happens, it never, ever feels fair to me as a combatant.
