I've talked to DJ.
Alright, Kimi, yo.
Wooooot.

Actually Khan you're falling for the common misconception that two handed swords are inherently huge cumbersome weapons that you have to swing in a huge arc, when in actuality they were used for fairly quick movements for chopping apart pikes. Judgement is simply swinging the weapon to hurt his opponent and then drawing the blade back the other way without turning it around, which is a common technique for longswords because they are dangerous on both edges.
A quick google search would have quickly provided you with this 'One normally strikes with the true edge, but using the false edge greatly enhances one’s versatility and reaction speed. A follow-up strike can be made faster because no time was needed to turn the sword around.'
Judgement has no need to calculate some intense striking point, if you look he's aiming for almost the exact point he aimed for in the first place, as the end result was his target in almost the exact same spot, just milliseconds from hitting the ground. All jumping in the air really served was to avoid an initial strike with far more effort than it would take to just move the sword back into his opponent's path, this time without such mobility.
Imagine paddling a boat, Judgement's hands are basically following that motion.
The fact he's cutting the wall in front of him gave the impression he's striking with more weight than necessary. It would be easier if one know what grip he's even using.
What they are a talking about is a quick parry, not spinning around such as Judgment did, if you have ever held a sword before you would realize that swinging like that would cause you forearms to lock and knock into each other. It would have been easier and quicker if her just reversed the grip so he ended up using the same edge he was cutting with. It would actually hold allot more strength and speed to it.

Maybe she took speed? :O
I actually never read Melon's post so I assumed he used the momentum of his first swing to rebound around, stopping a swing part way and going the complete opposite direction (even if the individual is insanely strong) and still catch her seems a bit iffy to me due to how inertia in sword mechanics work. Though Judgment would still need to estimate Itsuki's trajectory based on her size, weight, and jump to accurately predict when and where to swing behind him. Don't know if advanced tactical skills like that are within his ability. Vordak can decide if he would have guessed right or not. Or not as DJ seems to be accepting that he did. (I think)
Still, I think DJ missed the part though where Melon meant to intercept before he hit the ground. So his post is assuming he's already on the ground from what I read.
I am wondering though if Judgment is using two hands for his swing. One would probably assume two hands, but his use of the opposite side of his blade( which is an odd choice as simply adjusting his wrist would have actually been quicker.) would suggest one handed. (resulting in a very awkward grip at least as far as I can picture in my head.)
The Archive
In this section records are kept and archived of major IC events for characters to keep track of plot-lines for the Multiverse. This also serves as a place to keep track of your characters own story arcs for future reference.
Records are kept in the form of links to the thread they took place on. Be sure to include a short description of that arc and what transpired for quick references. Also be sure to set the links in the fashion they transpired in. Often this is from most recent to least.

Ah, I remember when Goku used a stick...
A more innocent time.
Also I'm I the only one who wants to see Fury shipped some way? Yes? Ok.
Why does Fury need a sword? He is stronger, faster and much more durable than Skallagrim.
Doesn't stop Goku from having a stick. (Fury is more durable than a skeleton?)
The only thing Fury really needs to do is pick up a sword to replace the one he lost, anyone got any ideas in that regard?
The only sword user Fury really knows (in a none violent manner) is Tablurath who uses material's in his blades that reek havoc with energy dependent types like Fury. Which is a shame since IC wise they were crafted specifically to hunt dreamers.
<Snipped quote by GreivousKhan>
With his giant sword and his advanced energy manipulation.... mkay.
I know right.
Last I checked it was a normal sized sword, though maybe it has rapidly expanded to judgment sized blade at some point.
One Arch type I have not seen in forever is a caster type character. They sem to have gone out of style or something.
Counters for my character are pretty obvious. Though the type of characters he himself counters would face a very hard counter indeed. Specially against archer type. Also proof you don't need a bow or something to be an Archer type, Skallagrims Skallagrim dreamer is a good example of an archer type.
Melon is only saying that to spare himself the ass whooping Important will surly give him.
