[quote=@MelonHead] Can your character not just use his sword to project wind slashes? Regardless, if it's just a mid/low ranged air attack while flying around that's fine. My character can probably keep up in a pure ranged slog-fest, provided you don't just have a shield to block all his projectiles. Also, it's up to you but I was thinking we could start the fight with some unspoken beef between our characters, that has led to us taking our argument outside into a field to fight it out. Whatever the issue is can be slowly revealed as the fight progresses in a humorous manner if you wish, though having it completely unexplained could also be funny. [/quote] The cuts are different than those slashes (they are much smaller, but hurt like hell if he grabs you in an exposed area). I'd have to be within 4 or so inches of you for that portion of the technique to actually be useful. Essentially they are like having close range wind papercuts. Rin's a law enforcement officer and your character is a thief, so they should have something to drive the fight at least. The Arena works as well.
