NytefallHeh, that tends to be the way these sort of things go. I've been striving to create cross-linked characters for about three years now and probably have about a page worth of narrative to show for it. Considering I'm by far the most active Arena fighter around here, and have probably fought perhaps a hundred times by now over the last three years, that's not exactly exceptional.

@Everett I'm sensing a theme here, who came up with this Shin-Ra-Ra-Rasputin organisation? All jokes aside it's a pretty cool concept for linked characters and I'm wondering who came up with it.
As per usual, i gtg sleep though, so expect no reply from me until the morning.
Such a tease, every time we get to an interesting discussion you go to bed, I swear this is a conspiracy at this point.
There is the slight difference that Sigurd was able to essentially land in a half press-up position, which would be incredibly unwise with a normal arm, but his left arm could take it.
Gigue's weight is significant, but he has to contend with both Sigurd's natural strength and his supernatural magic super-arm, which is more than capable of lifting Gigue's entire weight alone, twice over. Super-strength is interesting in grappling situations (this is something I discovered in the Kanitah vs Fury fight) because in human battles gravity gives the advantage to the person on top, but when characters have superhuman strength the advantage actually shifts somewhat because the person on the bottom can actually use their strength to push off and the like.
Point being, even if Gigue did sandwich himself on top of Sigurd's body for some reason (because I'd presume he would rather be in a back-mount, with his chest up) the elbow slamming into his side could force him off Sigurd's body unless he was ready for it.

What if Gigue jumps high into the air over the elbow strike and then dives back down with a knee drop of fire and nuclear power?
@Vordak What you got for me? My advice, start flailing your fists around wildly, punch with both at the same time, windmill of bones.
Racism is a blanket term for Ethnic discrimination and a whole host of other forms of discrimination, we just don't use 'Ethnicism' probably because it sounds stupid. Central Americans, or even just plain Mexicans are most certainly an ethnicity, and it becomes racist when you decide they are inferior or discriminate based off that ethnicity, say, by suggesting they should have to build a wall to keep their citizens in because they're undesirable in America.
Also this is a weird place for a political debate, but it beats complete silence, so w/e.

At least in Russia, we always know it'll be Putin.
At least that's something, silver linings and all that.

That said, though I'm voting for Trump. It's only because I don't want that traitor Hillary in office.though I'm voting for Trumpvoting for Trump
“Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed, to me:
I lift my lamp beside the golden door,
And I will build a great wall – and nobody builds walls better than me, believe me – and I’ll build them very inexpensively. I will build a great, great wall on our southern border, and I will make Mexico pay for that wall. Mark my words.”

I've just finished study of two years of U.S crime, immigration and the KKK, this is not the time to start the history war with a history student my friend, lay down your food and your weapons, this will not end well.
Just joking, but you might be surprised by some of the realities of U.S 'unity', or not, depending on how cynical you are.
