Battle of Tython - Forge OOC

@KinkyPrawn @Powerfullhorus @Darasuum

So I made this to try and help me visualize everyone's positions. Does that look right with everyone?

The Forge being towards the North of the map.

@Darasuum

and began dashing towards the now two sith that were not focused on him at all but solely his fellow jedi.

Not to nitpick, but Mid's partially got his attention diverted on Brent. So he's not totally oblivious. I just wanna make sure if that is Brent's perspective(that their attention is only on Sakadi) or if you meant that Mid and Cinder are completely oblivious

 

[KinkyPrawn]

@Powerfullhorus Hope I'm not nitpicking,

But I got a bit of an issue with Sakadi being able to register what Mid's doing, see what Cinder is doing, then proceed to steal his lightsaber that would most likely be moving at a bit of a quick pace, all in such a small time frame. Keep in mind this will all be happening in like a second or two's window. Mid pulling her lightsaber will be a very quick move, so for her to steal someone else's lightsaber out of the air in the very, very small window it takes for Mid to destroy her weapon seems a bit much.

So, I've been looking at a word processor all day for work and my head is killing me. Would it be possible to give me an extension of the time out for my post? The last thing I want to do this evening is look at more words on a monitor.

24 hour extension granted.

@KinkyPrawn can you edit your post so that it doesn't read like an autohit on sakadi. You have to make the attempt to attack before you can say that it causes damage.

It's not supposed to read like one. I merely stated what would happen if my attacks hit.


Might I ask where it reads like an autohit?

Nevermind. You just have in my opinion too much stuff going on after the lightsaber maneuver. The lanvarok action and all of that would just get nulified with her avoiding the lightsaber attacks and so makes the rest of your point purely hypothetical and irrelevant the moment it gets avoided. It goes under the head of don't do too much in one post.

Given that they are both extremely quick attacks all under like half a second, it would make dodging mid-attack very difficult

You're assuming that an equaled leveled lvl 2 character who is smaller and has less muscle mass isn't faster then Mid. Sure he's stronger but stronger means slower so if you can argue that mid can bench press more than Sakadi then Sakadi could probably snatch a bug out of the air better than Mid. Someone of the same level would at a base standard have the same reactions as your own so why would they not just react at "like half a second" what makes you think they don't have reaction speed the same if not better than Mid's?

 

[z0pu]

@Darasuum Can you clarify how Brent is attacking? I may be just dumb but I can't picture it as I'm reading.

 

[Darasuum]

more or less like this

Not so much sliding forward, he is keeping his other hand above his head as he spins to protect against the downward strike he thought was coming

 

[Darasuum]

@z0pu The timing of when Brent would be connecting with Cinder's legs is the same time as when he is pulling his blade away from the original downward strike into the feint. Right now your post reads like it came after the feint and you're canceling out of your choice to do the feint in the first place to deflect Brent's slice. It's more or less coming down from an overhead strike, to a feint but then canceling and protecting the lowest part of your body when someone is inside your guard in that moment.

 

[z0pu]

What? The overhead swing is the faint. Which you reacted by raising the shoto and bends down, after that Cinder pulls back and thrusts, that is when it reads Brent swings.

Logically Cinder should have time to swing down from his thrust as the two move.

@Darasuum

 

[Darasuum]

Brent moves in for the swipe while his other blade is overhead. He's doing both actions simultaniously. He believes the blade is coming down on him so times a potential block (if it would connect) while his other blade would connect with Cinder's shins.

order of quick time events:

1. cinder does an overhead strike (brent thinks its going to come down so protects with his shoto
2. pulls into a feint (at the same time brent's other lightsaber would be drawing across cinder's shins at this point)
3. This is when Cinder would be either thrusting into his original stab or choosing to change into a block I would think

Brent isn't doing his actions after Cinder does his. He's doing his actions while Cinder is executing his own. Brent does not know that Cinder is feinting, hence the shoto over head. If his actions came after Cinder then he would know that Cinder feinted and do something else entirely. That's the way of shared time.

 

[z0pu]

I see where I went wrong. I said neck rather than heart in my post (misremembering the location of the thrust's aim), the intent was indeed for Cinder to not go through with the thrust but block instead. Edited.

Actually he doesn't begin to crouch as Cinder is pulling into the thrust. He goes into the crouch as the overhead swing is still coming down before he sees it go into a feint.

I know the feeling. I'm on my second cup and just starting to function. To think I'll end up having Brent pursue more CQC and hand to hand combat in the coming weeks. #hesitant

 

[Darasuum]

Um @z0pu it still looks like you have the timing off. Not because of any wording but just that you're choosing to block instead of doing the feint at all. I don't think it's fair for someone of our caliber to be coming down in an overhead strike and be able to block a lightsaber in the way you are attempting. Cinder's blade would get about halfway to blocking the attack before the Brent's saber would cut into him. Brent's attacking the furthest defense are from Cinder's blade to guard knowing that it would not be defend-able with the one light saber Cinder has.

If I were you I'd either take the cut (because it's not death enabled pvp) or if you can come up with another viable defense use that.
