Well, yes. As i said, stepping to the side would bring her blade parallel to his chest. When she steps, to her right, she goes towards Vos' back, not his front.


Yes, that makes sense. Parallel I considered not in terms of his whole body, having to go straight towards his back or front, but instead based on how it impacts the skin rather than, say, glancing off the skin at an angle.
<Snipped quote by ImportantNobody>

You've probably messed up the stances, as there is no way it could result in a perpendicular strike. They aren't in mirror stances, here both have the left or right foot leading - Hikaru has the right leading and Vos has the left.


Perhaps perpendicular is a bad term when I should say straight at him.
<Snipped quote by ImportantNobody>

Well, i don't think either of us even mentioned Hikaru angling the blade with her hands. Just to clear this up - at what angle do you want her to strike? At a steep angle, or perpendicular to his chest?


I was thinking his knife was held mostly vertical with a slight inward angle due to you saying he'd move on her inward side should something happen, so that's the most convenient, I think, rather than blocking with te blade horizontally and the handle on his left side. Therefore, I planned on her stepping to the side to slide it past, moving her hand about even with her shoulder and the back of her hand facing upwards so that the blade is angled down as to the left, angled perpendicular to him.
<Snipped quote by ImportantNobody>

Let me explain: Vos has his left foot leading, meaning that his torso would be angled diagonally from front-left to back-right, and if she steps to his left, the dagger being the pivot point, then her hilt moves to the left and point to the right, bringing the blade parallel to his torso.


I don't see why she'd force her right arm across her body to angle the sword like that instead of angling her right arm away from her body to make the point aim to the left around his knife as it slides along the inside. Perhaps the way you tapped your knife against it is what I'm improperly envisioning.
I could start working on it in about an hour unless you start it up.
I don't see how her sidestepping around to the right, his left, would angle her blade away from him unless he does something else with his knife. It sounds like he's tapping it on her inside so he could try to push it away but is just tapping it right now so her blade would definitely get a chance to at least start sliding directly his way as stated.

@DJAtomika, here's my character at last for our battle.
Name: Rez
Age: 37
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Appearance: He has dark skin and a muscular body, standing at 6'11''. His hair is most often buzz cut. The bottom half of his body, up to his hips, are robotic, as well as robotic plating over his spinal cord ending at the nape of his neck.

Personality: He often means business but is not uptight about it, letting people have their fun and having the last laugh in the end when he comes out on top. He does joke around a little bit when the mood strikes him, often very dry or dark. He's mainly out for himself.

Abilities

Physical Abilities- Thanks to his robot legs he can run at speeds of 65 miles per hour for extended periods without tiring. He can lift around a ton.

Nanomachine Healing- Thanks to nanomachines flowing throughout his body, his moderate to minor wounds can heal within minutes, electrical impulses to jumpstart his heart if that remains an option, and fighting off toxins/viruses/etc.

Combat Training- He has military training and real world experience that makes him well versed in such matters. He can fight hand to hand, with knifes, or most types of guns on an advanced level, only loosing in terms of raw skill to people who specialize in a certain aspect. His favorite weapon is the heavy machinegun.

Powers

Energy Stimulation- Nanomachines stimulate his body to create the energy needed for magical powers due to him no longer able to do so himself. It's a barely controllable reaction, his entire body (excluding robotic parts) either lighting on fire or crackling with electricity as the energy is brought out, a process with takes three seconds to reach it's peak. At that point he has five seconds to send it off or else it will begin to cause agonizing pain and damage, although can already do so to others should they touch his body. Once off of his body, the chosen element will travel at around 3,000 miles per hour for his electricity of 40 miles per hour for his fire, either one going out after traveling 50 feet, breaking apart very quickly in either case, sort of like a shotgun blast.

If you consider him having 100 points to put into this, his electricity would take 30 points each blast and his fire would take 20. If he goes much overboard than he'd suffer a lot of pain and debilitating injuries, just like if he'd keep it stimulated for too long. He must also wait at least 30 seconds between each stimulation for the same reason. He can suicide himself by stimulating all 100 imaginary points at once to unleash a massive burst of electricity and fire in all directions around his body.

Equipment

Armor: He wears typical gear a soldier armed to the teeth would, of course complete with bulletproof vest able to withstand smaller caliber bullets like from pistols for an extended period of time, even taking at least a couple shots from powerful snipers to penetrate. His helmet is just as well defended and has a screen that can extend down and shield his eyes from sudden bright lights as well as give him different methods of night vision (usually but not always thermal) and can track object's velocities to pinpoint where attacks might be coming from.

Weapons: A heavy 50 caliber machinegun that can still be wielded while on the move is his favorite weapon. It has 30 round clips that fire 5 rounds a second, firing automatic or semi-auto. He also has two pistols similar to desert eagles in capability, although he doesn't commonly use them both at once, being more for backup purposes.

Ammo: Enough to reload his weapons three times over can be found on various straps, pockets, and backpack.

Other: Pills he has to take once a day to keep his body from breaking down under the stress put on his system.

Bio

He was a soldier who underwent nanomachine testing, a glitch causing his lower body to be destroyed beyond repair, but they luckily managed to get it under control before it spread to most of his other systems. His magical capabilities were also somewhat spared, although reliant on the nanomachines to activate now and causing him great pain on occasion.

He went off the radar upon getting out of the hospital, becoming a mercenary of very high caliber who would take on any job if the price is right.
i don't really care if you guys face the same people, for the most part, the issue is, when say Melon can only get 3-4 people to fight him, and thus can only gain points by fighting the very same people over and over again.


I think fixing this problem could be if everyone would create a clear, concise list stating when they are looking for a fight and editing it when they're not looking so people can more easily challenge someone you know is still looking. Then maybe for the challenger they can mention every user on this list that they'd like to fight in the post they make in the ooc challenging any of them who would like to respond.
Name: Adam King
Age: 31
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Appearance: He looks like a stereotypical cowboy with medium length brown hair, beard and mustache stubble, a lean face, and kind eyes. He often has a cigar dangling from his mouth.

Personality: He's a gentleman always eager to save a damsel in distress. However, he's still understandably behind the times in some ways so believes that women shouldn't take part in any "manly activities", treating them in a dainty manner. He means well in most subjects even while ignorant.

Abilities

Physical Abilities- What a skilled cowboy could be expected of.

Cowboy Skills- Quick drawing, implausibly accurate shooting skills such as shooting a gun out of someone's hand, and duel wielding shooting without a reduce in accuracy.

Equipment

Cothing: Typical cowboy outfits and a bulletproof vest underneath that doesn't inhibit movement and is just enough to stop his own six-shooters for one shot.

Weapons: His primary weapon is a pair of six-shooter revolvers, one gold colored (named Gold) and one normal steel colored (named Lucy). They and the bullets look ordinary but they have enough power to break through modern bullet proof armor in a single shot, although their range is the same as normal revolvers from the cowboy era. His third weapon slung across his back is a revolver rifle named Golden Lucy, which has gold colored plating on some parts. It acts like an average modern rifle besides loading like a revolver and it's power is twice that of his revolvers.

Ammo: He has six bullets already loaded in each of his three weapons as well as eighteen additional rounds on his belt that works on any weapon.

Motor Stallion: A motorcycle that has a horse motif, including legs that can extend down and run like an actual horse. The normal form can drive at 120 miles per hour and the horse form can run at 80 miles per hour but can travel across very rough terrain and make more nimble movements.

Bio

He's a cowboy who was frozen in time due to being literally frozen by a mysterious meteor that crashed near his town in the wild west. When he thawed out it was now the future and he had trouble adapting to the new ways.
