Nathanael D. Striker Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 Oh for the love of . . . Striker! And you were doing so well!!! I knew you wouldn't be happy about that. I'm willing to use Earth and Fire more, though I still have to use Light and Darkness to some degree. And stop facepalming my backstory... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Warden Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 I just prefer using Light & Darkness because that's what I used to use long ago. Habits are so hard to break, but it would be a waste of understanding of the concept to not use it. And you guys did huh? Guess I didn't give you all enough credit.

You lost me . . . But I'll concede that swords are kind of boring. And generic. But, hey, it's what I've always used. And stop facepalming my backstory... YOU CANNOT COMMAND ME!!! I just prefer using Light & Darkness because that's what I used to use long ago. Habits are so hard to break, but it would be a waste of understanding of the concept to not use it. Okay I have to ask . . . . I've never used light or darkness in any of my fights. So, why or what does those two do that everyone enjoys so much about them?

Desu the Blue Nerd Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 Axe and shield combo is still best. Dual revolvers, bro. Also, I'm considering attempting a baseball bat and revolver combo. I actually thought the name sounded cool enough, but that;s just my opinion. Stanzas is awesome, don't get me wrong. I'm not going to argue about this anymore. This isn't an argument. It's me telling you I don't practice ever and I was totally whooping your ass. Yeah, uh, it was kind of obvious. I just never said anything about it because I've seen and fought other people who use illusions and summoned weapons. Oh for the love of . . . Striker! And you were doing so well!!! He really wasn't though. Sword. Swords for the win. They're alright. Swords are boring. When blades shaped like uncircumcised dicks look remotely threatening, let me know. Thar, we should talk about this. There's some African weapon I forget the name of that is meant to look like a giant dick to intimidate enemies and it's rad as all hell.

I prefer axes because A.) They look cooler. B.) Their head weight gives them increased inertia in swings, dealing more damage. C.) It's still a bladed weapon, just like a sword. D.) You can still block with an axe. All it takes is the right material and/or coordination of defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Warden Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 Light and Darkness possess a deep underlying meaning to them that elevates them above typical elements. The both of them stand above the other 6 as they are the embodiments of the universe as we know it. In other words: Light stands for the force of creation, and Darkness stands for the force of destruction. And as such uniting the two is the ultimate sign of power outside of just using Time and Space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andx Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 Oh hey the hotel is still around would you look at that. So if I'm reading right I just have to ask for a room... Well I don't need anything too fancy. A simple dog house out back should suffice. But eh what the heck, let's go with room 333. Anyway, until my acceptance and all of that is decided and such I'll go back to watching the madness unfold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thar Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 Dual revolvers, bro. Also, I'm considering attempting a baseball bat and revolver combo. I'm taking more about a fantasy setting, but in a modern-day theme, that combo would definitely trump all. Thar, we should talk about this. There's some African weapon I forget the name of that is meant to look like a giant dick to intimidate enemies and it's rad as all hell. I'm interested, as the keywords "african dick weapon" doesn't give me any promising results on Google. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only that but if you miss with an axe you cannot immediately switch into a defensive stance. That's why I have a back-up favorite weapon: Pretty sure you know what a Bat'leth is, right?

The Warden Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 It's more than a show of power, it's the power. In order to use Light & Darkness together you have to understand their concepts to the fullest, otherwise you're not getting much out of them.

One of my friend's mother had a replica on display in his house. She pulled it off to demonstrate. One of the most practical defense methods with a Bat'leth is to block by holding it semi-vertically, then use the hand holding the bottom-most grip to do an uppercut on the defenseless body that's left open from the block hold.

You don't want to fight what you know, or at least think, you can't beat without serious injury. I also would like to point out I have tried to learn healing type magic/whatever and almost consecutively fail in my attempts.

Thar Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 Okay if I imagined that right that'd be easy disemboweling of your opponent. Yep, pretty much. Also, as an engineering student, I can always alter the design to give it dual-wielding properties by pulling it apart. It'd basically look like Scyther.

The Warden Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 That's... actually pretty cool. Bat'leths are neat weapons no doubt, but I guess glaive like weaponry never caught on to me. And no Striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't need more Light and Dark boners in this world. I'll admit to falling for that. I thought it might be just someone else using the motif you're renown for. You didn't realize it was Andx?

I also would like to point out I have tried to learn healing type magic/whatever and almost consecutively fail in my attempts. Knowing what I'm facing allows me to think of a way to deal with it when the time comes. Randomly jumping into the air, flying around, and firing arrows of light at me is surprising as fuck and hard to counter on the spot. True intimidation comes from attitude and demeanor. Giving the impression to your enemy before you do anything that you are not to be f*cked with.

In fact why not just make a Scyther armor suit? Now I kind of want to see that as a cosplay (Oo) *checks the internet* Meh, noting too good. But I found this: You didn't realize it was Andx? I thought it was, but he doesn't post often enough that I could be 100% certain. Randomly jumping into the air, flying around, and firing arrows of light at me is surprising as f*** and hard to counter on the spot. Didn't I do that in one of our matches? *Catches the book.* D*mn it . . . . i should've rigged it to explode or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
