Rawk!
Good to see this is still alive... I might end up finishing off myself in our previous bout, I'm fucked. :D
Will be reading your fight, looking forward to seeing O beat for once. ;)

No worries, man. Just post whenever you can get around to it. No rush at all. :>Quote:

Setting:
Dense urban setting, skyscrapers and plenty of people.
There are three active police stations.
One military base closer to the fringes of the city.
One airport.
Conditions:
Free for all.
Start with no weapons.
Weapons can be improvised and picked up along the way.
No involving personal friends or family.
Civilians are anonymous and expendable.
Virtually everything is destructable.
All people can be interacted with.
The battle does not need to begin until one of the sparrers gets the attention of another participant, which means that there is ample time to stock up, prepare, and bribe local law officials to keep an eye out for your target. Get creative, as once your ready, anything goes.
I don't fight fairly. :ninja:
[edit] The sparring thread will be created once we have at least two other active sparring partners.
Note to self: Don't RP at 1 in the morning.
Honestly, I was just trying to make things a bit more interesting. At the time, hopping onto the sidewalk at high speeds and putting a bunch of people between us seemed vastly more exciting than simply fighting or trying to get you run over. Plus, I've got something awesome planned if I manage to get to the next intersection. Don't let yourself know that though. >_>
No problem. I thought it was great! I was playing the scene over and over in my head, while I was at work. :DQuote:

Mine's already planned out; I just need to know if you want to do something as soon as we get there.
Yeah. Actually, I was going to attack you in my last post (I had an intersection attack in mind also), but didn't because you said you had something planned, so I thought you were going to attack first. I can edit my post to include us hitting the intersection and me attacking first, or you can write in a post of us getting to the intersection, and I can move in on my following post. Your call.Quote:

The stance I'm in is like this one, except my front leg is bent and my back leg is extended. Also, the katana and sheath are in a low position in front of me.

Yup. That's about how I see it. The sword and sheath are on the opposite side of you than me, correct? As in, you've got your front leg bent, and the sword and sheath are at rest back by your rear leg?
This one looks exciting. I'll be keeping an eye on this fight! :cool:
Yeah, the order, coming from the right of the doodle, is you, me, then my sword. If that makes any sense.Quote:

The last post wasn't exaggerating. This had been where I was trying to take the fight since the very beginning. I didn't, however, expect you to give yourself no way to dodge.
Nice move. :>Quote:

Nice block, you've effectively stopped part two of that move if I'm reading that right. So, my sword is now under you, albeit stopped by your right arm (are you grabbing?), and your body is arcing to the left in such a way that your right shoulder will hit the katana lodged in my sheath?
Actually, I will have to make a change to my post. I forgot to re-check that picture you drew while I was making the post. As I was interpreting it, I was flying straight at you, which would have carried my momentum straight into you. But I'd forgotten that you were standing slightly off to my left, so if my block was successful, I would actually by flying right passed you, instead of into you. My mistake.Quote:

But no, I'm not grabbing, just sort of slapping your hand down before it rose high enough to cut me in half. Heh. My body will just fly passed your front, and I'll end up on the opposite side of you from the window.
Ok. Made some changes to my post.
(And just so I'm clear, since you swung your left foot around, turning it from the rear leg to the front leg, my straight path flying passed you would take me passed your back, instead of your front, correct?)
I need to take a break 'till about Thursday. =(
I have a few thousand lines of code to write for a project (due Monday morning), a research paper (due Tuesday), a Calc 2 test and quiz (both on Monday, both covering different topics, the results of which will determine whether or not I fail the class), a midterm (Wednesday), and a bunch of online French work (I have no idea when that's due, but it's next week for certain).
If I get an hour of two of free time I'll write something up, but it doesn't look good right now.
And yes, that sounds about right.
Ok. No problem. :)
I had an hour of free time. =)
Hope you all like this one. Not terribly exciting, but I think I wrote it well enough to be a good read.
Ooh, you're rushing in! Pencils in hand to boot. This'll be a fun one to defend against.
Are you clear on how my stance is laid out? Right now, my blade and arm are in front of my face, not enough to obstruct my view too greatly, but in order to get to my face your hand is going to have to pass through the two of them. I'll draw up a quick doodle if you want. =)
Ok, I wasn't all to clear before now, but I think I understand. (I've been drinking. Bare with me. Lol.) I didn't quite interpret the post well enough at first, but now that I've thought about it, I imagine that you're something like this:Quote:

But maybe with your arm right behind the blade of the sword (higher than it is in the picture). If this is the case, then I probably shouldn't have thrown the attack that I did. BUT, I'd believe that if you stay in that spot long enough to defend in a way that puts my attacking (pencil-wielding) fist in danger, you might be susceptible to the following blade slicing across your midsection. If you swipe your blade upward to attack my left arm, then I could still swing my fist upward to evade your blade I think. We'll see. I'll let the attack stand as it is and see what I can do with it, upon your next move.
Lawl, yeah, that's pretty accurate. You're right, it is supposed to be a bit higher, though.
Remember, I still have the scabbard ready. Although, I would need to block with it like you would blade to blade (Glancing and sliding, direct parries ruin the sword) if I didn't want your attack to slice right through it (which will happen now that there's force behind it). Doable, but it's a one time trick since you'll end up cutting through it longways making it less than reliable if I ever try to use it again.
We'll see what happens. If I still have any creative juices tomorrow after writing my research paper and other class related goodies I'll try to put something up. ^.^
