Wait... Really? I was just about to comment on how fantastic YOUR set ups were. Lol. I'm pretty sure that if I hadn't had my armor, that fight would have ended very differently.

I had such a good time doing that fight. It really felt like a challenge. You did marvelously!

I think taking a forum arena battle that seriously isn't exactly healthy.

That's subjective. I only ever get upset when I win, to be honest. I hate winning. I just like a good challenge, and for it to be so, it has to be genuine, that's all.

Hence my appreciation for a more cinematic battle that is both fun to write and to read. As for Ysolda surviving... I really have stopped caring. Your "GRRARGHSUPERSRS" approach and attitude to this thing has utterly killed my drive to even bother. I was going to have her take a longshot and hide inside that groove she was holding onto (as in the picture it is at LEAST fifteen feet wide, given that mech's height, more than enough for her AND her essence armor to fit into) and ride out the blast using your own nuke-proof armor as sort of a sail to ride the shockwave. But frankly, she can die now for all I care.

I don't really know what you're talking about. What attitude? Did you want me to go easy on you? I could totally have done that if you asked me to ahead of time. I don't have any issues with doing a light-hearted fight with more story elements involved, but unless specifically stated ahead of time, I'm going to assume my opponents wants to mash me to a pulp.
