Alright then, the angle I was going for has been successfully circumvented. So depending on how long the fight was going to go on for, my general strategy was getting to the point where Han had spent less of his Ki then Niko had and use [i]that[/i] moment to go on the offensive for a more aggressive attack. I'm revealing this now because Niko's successful blow against Han... pretty much meant I had to pivot to a different tact altogether, hence my IC post's whole spiel about battle plans not surviving the engagement and split decisions sometimes needing to be made "in the moment". I assessed the outcome of that clash and decided, yeah, this was gonna have to be one of those split decision moments for this encounter to not end up being a waste of time. xD
