Bakuto vs Rhine

The beginning of the match was well calculated, with both sides sizing each other up. In the end, it was Bakuto that came out on top. Careful not to leave any openings for the Tai-Chi master, Bakuto was able to land multiple hits. At the same time, none of these hits were critical.

Bakuto blocks all damage and only takes three recoil damage.
Rhine takes five damage from Bakuto's attacks and two recoil damage, taking seven damage total.

Seeing that his opponent had much more to offer than anyone before, Rhine decided to take this match more seriously. He didn't charge forward, but his steps were much more direct. He couldn't win by being defensive the whole time.

To avoid decimal places in my math, can you please adjust your character's stats to multiples of ten. Those 35s complicate things a little. Otherwise, that was a perfect post.

Bakuto vs Rhine

Rhine's quiet energy combined with Bakuto's sudden shift in tone made for one intense moment. The crowd could feel the intensity too, because for a brief moment the entire stadium went quiet. Then, the gong rang once more. The match had begun.

Neither combatant rushed into battle, it was more of a careful sizing up of the opponent, especially for Rhine. He stepped forward, one well placed step at a time. He knew this match would be harder than the rest, not only because the opponent was better than the others, but also the arena was bigger. It would be harder to win by ring-out. He might have to go about this differently.

On the off chance you didn't see the IC section recently. I've set up the tournament brackets, and you're next. No huge rush, just making sure you notice.

I'm just looking for your character's entrance paragraph, where he steps into the ring and we get an idea what's on his mind and such.

Like I said before, I typically will be online from 3pm till 7pm every Thursday. But today is my dad's birthday. I'll still get online tonight before bed, but I can't do those normal hours.

1st Match Begins!

Thirty minutes later, at high noon, the ceremonial gong was rang for the first time. This signaled the first two fighters to emerge from the main building and take their places in the arena. Waiting for them in the middle was a well dressed announcer with bright orange hair that shined because of all the hair products holding it up.

The first combatant to emerge from the building was the large man known as Rhine. The man won all his preliminary matches with hardly a scratch, and strangely enough, all his opponents lost without much more damage. The reason why? He won all his matches by ring out. A master of Tai-Chi with the body of a brute, and most impressive of all, he won all his matches with a smile.

The second was Bakuto...

I'm working on a tournament bracket visual, that should be ready by tomorrow evening (since I'm about to have to get ready for work, and I work the morning shift tomorrow). I'll also put up my next post, which will be introducing the fight between Bakuto and his opponent.

Okay, I posted in the IC section to go ahead and move us forward. The first one of you to respond gets to go first.

For this round, you will all be going against fighters with max power level of 70. I will be controlling them of course, and we will be implementing the new changes.

30 Minutes Before The First Match

The stadium surrounding the arena was almost full. Even with assigned, pre-purchased seats, everyone wanted to be early. And even though the stadium was outside in the open air, the excitement of the crowd seemed to echo, as they spoke to one another in anticipation. The ring itself was empty.

Inside the main building, where the preliminary rounds were held, the remaining sixteen combatants stood on one of the four miniature arenas. Per tradition, a tournament employee turned large lottery wheel, with white plastic balls inside. When a number would fall out, he would then write the number on a large chalkboard behind him. Once all the numbers were on the chalkboard, he revealed the name of the person attached to each number.

By the time this quiet ceremony was finished, it was ten minutes till the first round...

@BladeSS4

You need to tweek your character sheet a little, regarding the new changes. First, you don't have to have "100". You can just delete that. 110 is your new max power level, and it's not going back down.

Second (and more importantly) you're not supposed to put actual values on your "Focuses". You simply need to put how they are spread for your character. Your choices are...

• Attack > Speed > Defense
• Attack > Defense > Speed
• Speed > Attack > Defense
• Speed > Defense > Attack
• Defense > Attack > Speed
• Defense > Speed > Attack

The exact values are up to you in your battle posts. But for instance, if you pick a "Defense > Attack > Speed" spread, then your character is clearly a tank, because his speed will never be greater than defense or attack, and his defense will always be his strongest suit. But the exact values can change.

The choice is yours, but it is a permanent choice.
