I never understood prepping. Either you have your character's abilities to require prepping as a means of bogging down their power level, or you simply don't prep and attack right off the bat.


I did that with Kei'taro once.

Didn't work out so well.

For them.

As me and @Melonhead discussed prior to the end of LeeRoy vs Rilla, we have two different schools of thought on it, really. So we were hoping to get more opinions; @Skallagrim has been using T1 longer than any of us, except maybe DJ, so he may have the 'correct' answer.

My opinion on it is that magic, wholesale, needs to be charged. Some abilities(Passive) fly under the radar. Melon's is that people whose primary means of attack is magic, shouldn't have too.

I've been using my method in virtually all my T1 fights, and have encountered no problems with it at all. On the other hand, prior to, and continuing with, my introduction to T1, non T1 fights have often delved into a magic slinging contest. Especially prior when anyone could just shoot magic out without a second thought.

I'm thinking we can either create our own version of it, and how it applies to magic, or find out the actual prepping stuff.
As we edge ever closer to the four way.

Let's talk T1, and specifically, magic prep.
Two questions:

From which directions do the trees fall?

Does Kei'taro have to prepare his magic, or can he use them as is?
So, Updated Rankings!

LeeRoy has been bumped up to #3, thanks to winning his match against Thar, and losing to me; which gained him 100, and 25, points respectively.
Dyayun felt the impact of the Uppercut; and then the impact of the Right Hook. The fire in his eyes burned bright as Tre'Yan, once and forever, the best boxer in the world was felled by the King of Brawling, Dyayun.

He watched the body of Tre'Yan float to the right, and thud face first into the ground. Drawing his right hand back to his body, he ignited a malevolent aura around himself and pointed down towards his fallen opponent.

"The first was for killing me. The second was for failing to do so again."

With his word, he turned and faced the crowd - dead as ever, but on their feet fading away. Their roar soared above normal decibels, the dead had such cries. Cracking his neck to the right, he regarded his fallen opponent once more.

Zero and Two in his last two sanctioned fights. Not a good look. Dyayun shrugged and exited the ring, down the tunnel. He had to speak with his new employer.

-Fin-
Almost as quickly as he'd come, he was unceremoniously ejected from the Spirit World, and dumped two miles outside of the Yendakhor'ghi, the Tree of Knowledge. Kei'taro could speak some Ancient Owl, after spending some time with a few of them on his travels; but had never been to their revered home of the Tree.

That fact was lost on him, as he recounted the conversation. His brother had resurfaced again, and was making a play for the Spirit World. Rosuto, his father, wasn't upset by the knowledge; in fact, seemed to almost welcome it, as he knew he was the unparalleled King of the Spirit Animals, and all that entailed. He had simply wanted Kei'taro to know that his brother had made his way into the multiverse he now inhabited.

Oh, and he wanted Kei'taro's head on a platter. It was an easy way to not only serve his own powers, but have the abilities of Kei'taro as well.

"Stupid bastard," Kei'taro mumbled for the twentieth time, as he made his way to the Tree of Knowledge; unknowingly of course. To make matters worse, his Father had decided to heal him, after a thorough railroading of the consequences that could have unfolded if Pikatok had of actually died. Kei'taro's eye was functioning and not swollen, but he was still having a hard time seeing out of it.

Pikatok had rough skin.

Chuckle.

He finally approached the tree, watching the owls float and glide about among the branches. Maybe his old pal Gelui would be here. He always made him feel better.
It would probably be better if you had a couple fights to see how the tiers actually work. For as long as we've had them, we've had little issue with everything balancing out.
His energies continued to flow around and through him, and then into the vast expanse around him. What nature manipulating, nay, dominating energies he held within him were now unleashed unto the mountain, the ruins, and everything around them that they could effect. The process would grant him domination of the nature around him, and surely, allow his abilities to come to full bloom against the man the Company had sent after him.

Adinraen chuckled as he lopped to the bottom of the stairs, clutching one of the Bones of the Devil Elf in his right hand, and the head of the decapitated Hunter in the other. Oddly symbolism, as he hadn't even used the swords to detach the head from the neck and spine, instead using the Ring of the Devil Elf to complete the dastardly deed.

As his foot touched the ground beneath him, he could feel the ever growing pulse of energies within, penetrating the ground's own natural energy, and taking it over. It wouldn't be long now before he was able to dominate the land around him. Still, a question remained, could he also manipulate this strange glass that formed the tower above and around them. He hadn't see such a material before, and knew that it would certainly come in handy if he could. Well, he wouldn't know until he tried, but now was not the time.

The wind caused his hair to dance around his head, as he ducked and ran full tilt towards a rather dilapidated set of runes. It consisted of a low wall, and three broken bits of high standing walls at varying heights. Hiding behind the largest of this, Adinraen allowed his breathing to calm, and his energies to continue to flow free of him and into the hard surface beneath.

Nature was a fickle mistress; already he could dominate the shrubbery around the land, being that it was plant based - but the mountain would take yet another moment, and the glass might take another moment still. He had little time to worry about that, the massive mountain would certainly prove more than enough to allow him sufficient material to combat, and ultimately, defeat his foe - either at range, or up close and personal.

Adinraen listened closely for the foot falls of his opponent, though he had no special hearing skills - at least not yet; the shrubs offered some, but it wasn't enough. No, the mountain would be better.

Whoever his opponent was obviously came in search of the man in his hand now, Adinraen could see it from this distance, and well, he just couldn't have that.
Lul. Huzzah is what they say before they get drunk and make mistakes. ;)


Lucky for me, I don't drink. ;D
Which means, if I can hit you, it'll probably do a lot more damage; plus you're already pretty beat up from the last hit. Huzzah!
