[@Negatomsk] Sorry for the late response, work is a bitch. It seems the core of your argument is that Lobo's costume can absorb and redistribute force. If that's the case, I do believe I'm justified in calling a checkmate, with all due respect. Keep in mind that the only description of Lobo's costume existing in regards to physical damage is a "heavy resistance", nothing about the mechanics of that resistance. Now, the heavy shit. Remember before our fight, you brought up my match with Sky? I told you in no uncertain terms that... [quote=@Doc Doctor] I went easy on your friend, and accomodated him to an incredible extent. He'd have lost in a single action if I had been more insistent on the function of Gonad's beardforce. Broken knuckles from the blocked punch, a broken wrist from the awkward way he tried to block the bear slap. [/quote] Sky had kinetic dampening, absorbtion, and dissipation that was an explicit ability of his. I flat out told you that the Beardforce should have broken his bones anyways, so you can't claim that Lobo could have endured the headbutt. Like I said, I don't enjoy being 'that guy', but in a ranked match I'm plenty more strict. In every way, shape, and form, I have made it clear that Gonad isn't supposed to be fought as if he were a traditional martial artist. He's a physical monster, whose blows I have genuinely likened to swords and maces being used on a normal human in his profile. Lobo took the hit, and that hit is absolutely a knockout blow. [@DLL] You're right, but fortunately the Beardforce does not work in the manner you described. Gonad doesn't learn anything intimate through it, no meta knowledge or shit like that. He simply feels a power boost and then starts trying to crush the enemy before him to the best of his ability. If the enemy tries to hold back to keep the Beardforce weak until a vital moment, it won't work. If your character can go Super Saiyan and he's fighting in base form, Gonad will be at Super Saiyan levels. Power playing is trying to control the other dude's character, or trying to influence things your character shouldn't be able to. Did I demand that Negatomsk step right up to Gonad and accept a knockout headbutt? He did all of that through choice. Edit: Because this is a high priority post that contributes to the resolution of the match, I'm taggin' Pollen. [@Drifting Pollen]
