It should apply either way. Even if you punch in an arc, it will still hit you as if you had stabbed directly unless you happen to get a perfect distance or if you rotate your wrist when it makes contact.

@Source

??? No? Rotating your wrist would be what causes it to be a forward punch's effect?

<Snipped quote by DarkwolfX37>

Sooo...like hooks?

@Spiritblitz

Mm.

<Snipped quote by DarkwolfX37>

You'd have to rotate your wrist in any case. If it's any consolation, you were going for my neck.

@Source

I mean, if you normally punch with your thumb up instead of to the side, yeah.

<Snipped quote by Spiritblitz>

Why did we start using quotes anyway? I don't remember our reasoning.

@Source

So we know what post is being responded to and in case we forgot what was being responded to. Mentions are annoying as fuck.

I don't know what dream you was going for. But realistically, using it like knuckles would make the operating region significantly smaller due to the possibility of slipping to the left or to the right, and it loses a lot of force due to the lack of a point.

@Source

You're thinking straight punches though. You want to use curved punches and aim for the arms and neck with that. The sharp edge can do damage and the curved punches allow for slashes that don't act as slashes.

You can't really stab with that knife; it's for cutting really well. I'm pretty sure you were just using it because it would be more fun and slow.

@Source

That kind of knife should be used like knuckles, not like a slasher.

There was no way to trip him. He was hands forward, feet back. I would have liked to have used his momentum against him and pulled him forward, but the amount of time it would take for him to reset after lunging with his hand like that would have given me enough time to get on his opposite side and then perhaps take the opportunity to get behind him.

@Techspert

That me isn't very good with knives then. Never use a slash as a forward, only as counters. Only use stabs as forwards and always keep 3360 movement available.

The reason I couldn't remember is that it ended after you swung at me and I got out of the way. But realistically, it's a bad situation being bare handed against a guy with the knife, and you had a lot of skill in the dream. It was interesting because it was an old friend of mine at first and we were fighting for a reason I'm not sure of. I believe it was the crowd around us who wanted it, and we knew that if either of us got knocked out, the crowd would kill us, but we agreed to not actually hurt each other badly and to treat it as a spar because we had no reason to want to hurt each other. Suddenly I look up and you're there, swinging something that looked a bit like this at me, but with a larger blade, like a crescent moon, and a thinner handle.



I'm incredibly surprised now because everything's changed, of course. I'm able to dodge (and I think hit your hand with my foot), and then I saw you were about to swing at my neck and I got ready to get out of the way and snap your neck, but the dream ended there.

@Techspert

Niiiiiiice.

Myriad Reality

Well, Dark, you pulled a knife on me in a dream. I don't know who won.

@Techspert

If it was me with a knife, probably me.

Makes me wish I remembered any dream I had last night. I had one about Chara yesterday when I took a nap but couldn't remember anything about it other than it was related to them.

@DarkwolfX37 how did he almost ruin everything?

@souleaterfan320

Almost killed Dark before Yander could remove the Oblivion.

It doesn't help that she cheated and he gave up.

I like that quote. Mind if I use it?

<Snipped quote by DarkwolfX37>

You're perpetuating the second definition that shouldn't exist.

Sounds interesting.

@Techspert

Mhm.

Go ahead. I'll put up the video with the original quote too.

Anyone who believes the bible to be true and/or believes that yoshua is god are christians. But this guy is one you definitely wouldn't consider to be a christian.

Currently, the group is in a place up in the hills of Harlan County, KY called "Noble's Holler". The mine shaft is like just outside the main community of Noble's, more or less. (There was no specific placement for the mine, but you get the idea). There's really only one road in and out of Nobles.

The distance between Buckhead (Atlanta), GA and where the group is currently is probably like a 6 hour drive, or so Google Maps tells me :)

@Rawk

In that case... Let's see... Three maps, triangulate the epicenter... Carry the negative four... Got it. Thankies.

Basically talking to myself and making notes of stuff I need to make note of

That's about 400 km/248 miles... The closest out of state hub city is Charlotte NC... That's 361 km/224 miles from Buckhead, 300 km/187 miles to Harlan County... That leaves Asheville as the most reasonable stop along the way at 158 km/98 miles from Charlotte, a further 106 km/66 miles to Kingsport, and 71 km/44 miles to Harlan County...

I have come to a stunning conclusion. Violet would need a vehicle to travel this distance in a short enough time for it to be plausible.

If we assume she travels at 50 mph on average... That's 2, 48, 1, 24, 1 so 76 in total. If she leaves at 8 am, she'll get there at noon three days later. That gives plenty of time. Two weeks plus the IC time that's passed should be plenty of time for a certifiable genius and several other college students she's in contact with to have figured out what I planned her to already know. Five days for stage one, three for stage two, six plus the two stops making 8 for stage three and planning for stage four... Plus however much time has passed IC to actually get there? Perfect. Not only is it plenty of time to make it plausible and realistic (as realistic as a character like her can be, anyway) but I can probably fit in a little extra training for her too if enough time has passed IC.
