I think watching fight scenes can help in general terms with writing combat, since it can give you an idea of flow and choreography.

At least if you're writing something you know, with knights.

I mean, depends on what you're writing, and the tone and theme of what you're writing. Trained armored knights were legitimately monstrous on the battlefield, so looking up how they fought helps.

As much as there's a lot of reasons twitter sucks, I genuinely don't want to see it die for the sake of all the artists who now rely on it. Hoping the shithead stops trying to directly administrate.

Hmm, I was considering rebooting both to get more people and to hopefully reinvigorate some of the players, but if everyone doesn't think it's necessary... hm.
Okay I think maybe I should explain myself.
I legitimately can't figure out how to have Youmu react to the bite.
For one thing, I think it's a little unfair to autohit as GM on the second attack in a fight when the player hasn't been ghosting, and... I honestly can't see that working on someone like Youmu anyway? ^^;
I don't know, it leaves me in a bit of a weird place because I can't figure out how to have her react because I can't figure out how she would have let a pretty basic feint hit.

Ah, sorry, my mistake, I was trying to go through and mention people and I hit your name by accident. ^^;
So I'm considering rebooting this entirely and trying to get more people into it this time. ^^;

Bunny cracked her knuckles, hopping from one foot to another. Ofuda were drawn out of her pockets and attached to her shoes, a few more attached to her arms as well as she stretched, and rolled her neck. Finally, she took up a fighting stance opposite the kimono-clad, katana-wielding girl, bracing herself in case anyone opened the door.
There weren't many words to be said, at this point.
Downstairs, Toshiko and Kitty were swiftly organizing as many traps as the could as quickly as they could. Most of these were situated around the ruined doorway, which would ideally still manage to catch him off-guard. After all, there wasn't exactly any other place to enter even if it looked like the building had been hit with an explosive.
When a car pulled up outside, the small girl and the woman quickly hid themselves, just out of sight.
It was difficult to see the figure that entered through the doorway, but almost immediately the automatic sigils around the door blazed red before igniting in a furious explosion, tearing it to pieces.
After the blast, Toshiko could see just what had happened. Paper-like fragments, smouldering, fell to the ground before dissipating into mana. Familiars? That's what seemed likely to her. So the Daidouji man was suspicious already... well, that was hardly the end of it.
Almost immediately, several dozen other figures, all paper-like creatures as well, rushed the entrance with no hesitation. Yes, indeed, it was clear that their enemy had sent ahead one familiar to activate any traps, before sending ahead the others to swarm the building in overwhelming numbers and kill everyone inside.
Kittty stepped out of her hiding place, grinning, and winked.
"Bye bye!" she declared, to the onrushing swarm of paper men, before snapping her fingers.
The entire floor blazed red, and a column of fire erupted beneath the familiars, tearing each of them asunder.
"Haaah, I guess I should give you credit, Ando-san," she said, watching the smouldering bits of paper descend to the ground before scattering into mana, "Predicting he'd try to flood us with familiars was a pretty good guess, especially since it let me blow them up!"
As the smoke cleared, however... there was no-one in sight. Just an empty car.
"... I have a feeling it wasn't enough."
The moment the first familiar had been dispatched, he'd already made his move.
The floating disc was a useful item, a magical tool that allowed him to quickly ascend. to the room he desired.
His magic allowed him to silently eat a hole through the wall.
Bunny released only when a hand was pointed at the back of her head that something was wrong.
"Attempting to set an ambush for me?" said the voice. It was deep, and by looks the man was older, in his fifties or sixties, with dark hair. "If you surrender, I'll only destroy one of your limbs each. Your compatriots have already been overwhelmed by my-"
It was at that moment that the second trap was triggered, an enormous explosion rocking the building.
"What?!" he cried, eyes wide. In this moment of distraction, a furious Bunny grasped him by his arm and pitched him forward, hurling him over her shoulder and across the room.

@floodtalon: Okay...
So his invisibility is overlapping with another charact's similar ability. Also I think it's best if you would focus on one or two bullet types and just extent what they can do so your weapon isn't going after too many disparate themes.
I'd also like a bit more personality.

@floodtalon: Huh, I thought Roxas posted something about it. I'll get back to you tomorrow when I can talk with him again. ^^;
Fanilly approached the map and carefully, quietly looked it over. She wasn't entirely certain, without explanation, what it was meant to be conveying beyond the obvious map of the countryside. At least, until her former mentor provided a rather quick explanation. For a few moments, the smallish blonde girl was silent.
"... I'm... I'm afraid I don't understand," she began. The idea of such a cult acting in such a matter was quite vile, but at the same time... "Wouldn't it make more sense for us to simply go in force and quickly eliminate them, before they can commit any other terrible acts?"
She couldn't understand the need for an army to be brought to root out a cult, unless the cult was an army itself. Let alone two armies. As Fanilly understood, Velt and Ithillin, the countries included on the map, were quite militarily strong themselves. She had to confess her knowledge of their neighbors was limited only to what could be learned from her tutors, as she had never traveled beyond Thaln's borders. She could not, therefore, confirm all that she had heard. Though at the very least Fanilly was certain that the pastries of Ithillin were absolutely lovely, as indicated by the party she had attended when she was younger. There had been an Ithillin baker there, and what he had created...
Regardless of how hungry she suddenly felt, however, Fanilly could not be certain she knew why such a plan would be required here.
Agenon let out another sigh.
"I cannot argue with you on that matter, to say the least," he responded. "Look where keeping secrets has gotten me. A stolen shard of an evil artifact, and a divided faculty who fight over what to do with it should it be returned.
He took a deep breath, stroking his thick beard.
"I can't make any excuses for my continued secrecy," he continued, "Aside from perhaps that I foolishly feared retribution would come upon some of those who work here. The men and women who believe they can re-purpose the shard are misguided, not evil. They think that using such a thing would be the ultimate rejection of its original purpose."
He sagged a little.
"And so, my affection for this school's faculty betrayed my common sense. From this point on, I pledge to assist in the shard's recovery however I can."
The carts outside seemed like, well, carts. There was nothing particularly strange about them.
What may, however, have been noticeable is the rope in the back of one cart. Any close inspection would reveal that it had somehow been severed...
There was no-one in sight.
