The Journey to a Dream: Alphonse vs ??? [Ranked]

You're lucky you dodged that arrow anyway, I put my most effective ability into it, you'd have been flat-out screwed if the arrow-head had even grazed you.

;D

On the plus side, your dodge has given Adrian some intel on your abilities, and he happens to have something to combat it.

Also, not sure why you needed Chi to work out what Adrian was, hood up in a forest, fangs, blood, definitely tell tales signs of a Vampire.

Gonna edit now, was playing with the kid until his nap time!

@Rilla

Cute.

You must train him well, he will become the greatest Arena fighter that ever lived.

The Hot Headed, Heavy Hitters, Have it Out (Fury vs Kanitah, Round 2)

Fury’s careful walk forward with the bubbling energy was almost comical, as if he were carrying something very fragile and had to pay incredibly close attention to avoid dropping it. Then again, this wasn’t too far from the truth.

Kanitah had shuffled to his right, but he hadn’t moved much further back, so ultimately the distance Fury had to walk across was negligible at best, at a slight angle to compensate for Kanitah’s movements. Kanitah still had questions, questions which tugged at Fury’s mind and tried to divert him from his concentration on the condensed energy. Maybe one or two seconds after beginning to move forward, he was only five feet away from Kanitah, almost within punching range, surely the smaller warrior had to do something or he was going to let Fury literally punch the condensed energy straight into him. Fury wasn’t sure anyone could survive that.

Why do you need my power?

Why do you need my power Fury?

Why do I need his power?

Remember why you need his power my Fury.

To kill… him. The skeletal face of Fury’s greatest foe flashed before his eyes, the energy burned hot and caused his gauntleted hand to glow blue with its intensity.

So do you have anything to edit with your most recent post or may I continue?

The Journey to a Dream: Alphonse vs ??? [Ranked]

Hmm, I think I'll actually read this.

@GreivousKhan

Furiously taking notes?

:D

The Journey to a Dream: Alphonse vs ??? [Ranked]

Yeah, that'll be fine. I'll make edits here in a bit. It'll be the one he started charging in this post.

now, are you still coming towards me?

@Rilla

That's undecided, Adrian will act on what he sees his arrow do, so it's unlikely he'll charge straight towards a sword after realising his ranged attack failed and Alphonse has turned around and stopped.

You'll just have to end your post after your dodge and then react to what I do in your next post, such is the advantage of constantly attacking, it leaves little room for counter-attacks and charging.

Though Adrian's weapon is somewhat more limited than a gun or other ranged weapon.

So if you'd like to drop your charged attack to balance out your flawless dodge, that would be suitable for me and I'll happily continue from there.

He didn't detect the actual attack, he quite honestly only detected you stopping. we can cancel out the latest charge, if you'd like - however - to move past this.

@Rilla

You have to make some sort of sacrifice, because in reality there would be no complete dodge of an attack like mine at our tier, I never actually stated that Adrian stopped in order to fire my post ended with Adrian shooting his bow, there was no mention of him ending his previous action of chasing after Alphonse, considering the speed of an arrow its highly likely Adrian's next action would be dependant on the result of his attack, so he had no reason to stop, especially as firing an arrow accurately at that distance would be easy even for a human when running around.

I think it's more the charging an ability while also using a passive ability to detect the onset of an attack while also carrying out a -very- difficult dodge, that's a lot of multi-tasking at this tier. That would definitely fuck up your concentration at the very least.

I didn't contest your first dodge simply because it was front-on, so you had far more time to react pre-emptively, where-as your character is only really reacting to the actual shot this time.

Jesus Christ, Alphonse should be known as the un-shootable with that sixth sense dodge.

How good is Alphonse' Chi sensing, does he literally know every move someone is making instantaneously?

Also, it's usually not allowed in T1 to charge and use other magic abilities in that fashion, so I'm going to assume your character hasn't managed to charge any Chi abilities if he's flawlessly dodging an arrow to the back, at least that's how I would perceive it. (For the record, the average arrow shot from a recurved bow flies at around 150 mph, allowing it to cover that distance in less than a tenth of a second, which is being generous considering Adrian is a Vampire and its his bow.)

Also

1st Post: 'Alphonse eventually came upon the closest thing the area had to a clearing'
Now: Ran into a small clearing

Has Alphonse suddenly ran into another clearing that the area didn't have a few moments ago? That's awfully convenient.

We might need a judge soon.
