"Unless the ice had already stretched from the unspecified part of his back and covered his shoulder blades, I think he'd be able to at least reach back, if not do the throw."
~~
The problem is not the reaching, it's that, in order to move the Champion, he'd have to break the ice covering said unspecified part of his back.. Because said ice is affixing the Champion to Fangir there. Literally the strongest part of the ice must be broken, with a one handed over the head pull (not the body's strongest maneuver).
I don't think* a normal person can perform a throw with one hand like that (given that the Champion is set and has no momentum for Fangir to use against him), and given that the magical boosts to strength and magical boosts to "stay there because ice" are equal, I think it'd just be a painful tug.
*by no means a martial arts expert, but the judo throws I have seen all involve two hands. and generally having an extended arm or forward momentum.

Cyclone, any word on my question about Fangir?
~~
Repost, for your convenience:
"How strong is Fangir, btw, as because the ice is spreading from his gauntlet, in order to yank the Champion up and over, he'd have to break the Champion's ice where it's strongest."

Interesting choice, Viktor. :P
The only reason I think it is a poor move is because, while you are isolated, this would isolate you MORE. No one who wanted to interact with you, if anyone did, could for however long it would take you.

*clap, clap, clap.*
Ugh, at this rate I might as well make the Champion a Rogue Being and forget the emperor of peace. :P
As Fangir, rolled and examined the field for an advantage, he might notice the Champion take a two short, slow steps, a bemused smile if he glanced upwards to see that. In his left hand, some sort of icy projectile beginning to coalesce. When the briars came up from the ground, the Champion stumbled, his smile faltering, and the projectile dissipating as his concentration broke. As Fangir raised his voice and his dagger, the Champion's visage was of fear, the rocks readied. They launched and...
Smile.

Soran would hear the shattering of ice behind him, and the swish of projectiles. If he turned a bunch of shards of unmelting ice, a few of them, would be flying at him, and the Champion's figure, heavily shrouded identifiable only by his distinct silhouette, visible in the mist. Fangir was still nowhere to be seen.
~~
Fangir might have a chance to recognize what was really going on now, as the real Champion materialized out of the mist behind him and slammed a gauntlet into his now slowed flesh from behind, while the illusion veiled ice sculpture in front of him, designed to guide Fangir's attacks towards Soran, melted instantly away. The gauntlet, though unable to penetrate the oaken flesh, sent mystic ice flooding over his limbs to restrict Fangir's form and magic. The Champions form also began armoring itself in ice, as though he expected to whether an attack.
"Mmm... n'rather than seek vengeance on those responsible for blood, you sought vengeance on those responsible for stealin'. We've all got blood on our 'ands, aye?" The Champion whispered. "Speakin' o which, your buddy's about to have a bit more blood on his hands. I'm betting fireball. Also betting you burn quicker'n I.
The whole plan had been a misdirection or, as Gau and the Champion put it, a "draw card". While maintain the mist field of illusions to isolate Soran and Fangir from the outside battle, the Champion didn't have enough raw power left over to also fight Fangir and Soran both. So, the illusions would serve him by making Soran and Fangir fight.
Smile.

Well, I must have misread it. I thought that they only removed the water inside the village to set it on fire, and that outside was still practically a swamp.I'll go edit something later.
You are correct, the other guy is wrong.
Hai!
Tai Yang comes as Bruce Lee.
Ninja Janitor comes as ???. No one sees her costume, but it's safe to say she put a lot of effort into it and it's made out of recycled materials.
