Immortal Kombat - Match 4
Aoshi (Storm Crow Style)
vs
The Horror Under Lock and Key (Infernal Monster Style)
Match rules:
- Competitors started 41 yards apart in the Nexus harbour. Thousands of ships, boats and Junks all via for space making it a crowded, undulating area.
- Full character build (including all Artifacts) allowed.
- To the death(ish).
Tick -1
The Horror Under Lock and Key (HULK) and Aoshi Join Battle!
HULK only gets 5 successes but Aoshi decides to trust in Secrets of Future Strife, but only gets 4.
Tick 0
HULK can clearly see his fearful opponent past the masts and decks of the boats between them, and activates Viridian Exoskeleton Legend.
(Speed 7 DV -1)
Tick 1
Sensing opportunity, Aoshi casts her Starmetal Vajra and activates her Combo, Heaven Splitting Moment! The Vajra strikes HULK like a blue bolt of lightning and he feels the wrath of Heaven within his twisted baleful soul.
(Speed 5 DV -1) (HULK takes 7L)
Tick 2
Tick 3
Tick 4
Tick 5
Tick 6
With the Vajra returned to her hand, Aoshi spins it around and shoots it at the Infernal again. It flies straight and true to pierce the brassy green plates that have formed over HULK's body.
(Speed 5 DV -1) (HULK takes 2L)
Tick 7
With a mighty roar of hate, the Slayer sprints towards the Sidereal girl activating Retribution Will Follow. Hapless sailors caught in the path of the rampage are trampled without thought or concern.
(Speed 3 DV -1 33 Yard Dash)
Tick 8
Tick 9
Tick 10
Sensing an easy victory the HULK activates his combo of SMASH!. The shallow bottomed barge beneath his feet gets almost capsized by the force of his leap like a blazing green sun. His Anima leaves a contrail of flames as he falls upon his victim with eyes of furnaced hatred.
Thinking quickly, Aoshi activates Gale-Riding Meditation and smiles as the powerful blow carries her like a leaf on the wind to the next boat.
The next two raging attacks from the HULK shatter first the deck and then the hull, leaving the boat sinking into the bay, with him in it.
(Speed 5 DV -1)
Tick 11
A quick step moves Aoshi to yet another boat, where she activates Storm Crow Form. Her Anima flares violet and is clearly visible even through multiple wooden decks and walls.
(Speed 5 DV -1)
Tick 12
Tick 13
Tick 14
Tick 15
Spotting the violet glow, HULK lets his rage carry him unhindered through the water and debris, through the thin wooden hull and up to the deck next to the Chosen of Endings. The boat starts listing as water enters.
(Speed 3 DV -1 33 yard Dash + Swim)
Tick 16
Almost caught by surprise, Aoshi seizes the chance to unleash Heaven-Splitting Moment upon the Infernal again. Her vajra strikes at HULK wreathed in blue lightning which sizzles and sparks around his brassy skin and into the water where it also kills a hapless sailor.
(Speed 5 DV -1) (HULK takes 3L)
Tick 17
Tick 18
Blazing green fire wreaths HULK again as he leaps straight up activates his SMASH! combo and lands upon the Sidereal girl with a thunderous flurry of punches. His off hand belts aside a terrified sailor who hadn't been able to flee in time and the blood of the dead man sizzles on his fist.
Aoshi pulls at the strands of Fate around her to activate Fateful Martial Arts Excellency. This allows her to knock aside the first incoming blow with a casual flick of her wrist. She reads the weave of Fate again for the second blow and manages again to redirect the force to where she is not. Alas, the next punch connects with her jaw and knocks her down. The Monster brings his fist down again with a joyous cry but she manages to twist away from the worst of the blow. Then as he grabs at her once again she just barely moves the monstrous hands away and scuttles back.
(Speed 5 DV -1) (Aoshi takes 3L total, and is Prone)
Tick 19
Tick 20
Tick 21
Aoshi picks herself up and moves to the side of the boat. Taking a breath she throws the vajra at her mortal enemy, but is still groggy from the assault and is off target. Fortunately the starmetal javelin returns of it's own accord.
(Speed 5 DV -2)
Tick 22
Tick 23
HULK raises both fists above his head and brings them down at Aoshi in a God-Smashing Blow, but the girl activate Ruffled Feathers Defense and manages to parry the attack.
HULK feels a memory of fear at the Sidereal's prowess, but his berserk anger quashes any weaker emotions and he just gets yet further enraged at her.
(Speed 5 DV -1)
Tick 24
Tick 25
Tick 26
Aoshi attempts to scare off the fiend with Ominous-Rumble Prana, but he is too quick for her and her attack misses.
(Speed 5 DV -1)
Tick 27
Tick 28
HULK cackles with mad glee and activates Joyous Cessation of Restraint to unleash a storm of blazing green blows. As he attacks his fists leave trails of green fire from his Anima to inadvertently spell 'Ashi' in Old Realm script.
The Chosen of Endings scoffs at this poor spelling and parries each attack while leaving her own Anima trail to spell out 'Incorrect fool! Aoshi. The Horror Under Lock and Key sucks at spelling; and fighting too!' in a violet ribbon of Old Realm traced by the paths of her hands and vajra.
The boat takes the punishment poorly and breaks up even faster, leaving the Exalts basically standing on flotsam and jetsam with wailing sailors floundering in the water around them.
(Speed 5 DV -1)
Tick 29
Tick 30
HULK cries out in joyous rage again and blazes past the bamboo like a green fireball again. Alas, the beast is undone, landing merely 2 yards short of his target, his punch causing the surrounding bamboo trunks to explode from the shock wave. Undeterred he swings again and then again at the retreating Alchemical, but once again the Champion activated his Precalculated Evasion System each time and avoided the monstrous blazing fists.
(Speed 5 DV -1 76 yard Jump)
Tick 31
TAA considers a thousand alternatives in the blink of an eye and makes a dash past the brassy green inferno standing over him.
(Speed 3 DV -2 78 yard Dash)
Tick 32
Tick 33
Tick 34
The Alchemical spins with precision to launch his gyrochakram yet again at the monster but does not pause in his effort to put distance between them. The chakram slashes through trunk after trunk of bamboo which come crashing down, but HLK barely even notices it in his charge forward after the Alchemical.
(Speed 3 DV -3 78 yard Dash)
Tick 35
HULK bellows a challenge at the fleeing Exalt and vainly tries to catch up. He runs headlong into the bamboo trunks and ploughs them before him as cover.
(Speed 3 DV -0 57 yard Dash)
Tick 36
Tick 37
Taking a moment to pause, TAA calculates a surprise trajectory and sends the gyrochakram flying again. It curves to the side of the Infernal and the small grove of trees in front of him, then digs into the earth changing it's course unexpectedly and spraying dirt into the Slayers face. The Infernal Monster lets out a thunderous roar at the spinning gold disk which forces it off course by enough to miss, and then spin handily back to the still running Alchemical.
(Speed 3 DV -3 78 yard Dash) (total distance now 177 yards)
Tick 38
Roaring in frustration, HULK continues to charge after TAA. As he runs he picks up a loose trunk and spears it ineffectually after his prey. It flies true, but falls woefully short of its mark.
(Speed 5 DV -1 68 yard Dash) (50% cover)
Tick 39
Tick 40
From this safe distance TAA activates Hungry Gear Tooth Attack and throws the chakram again. Unfortunately HULK sees it coming and casually lifts himself out of its way as it dives into him.
(Speed 5 DV -1)
Tick 41
Tick 42
Tick 43
HULK launches himself up a trunk and runs headlong towards TAA, his fury keeping him unhindered by such trivia as balance and footing.
(Speed 3 DV 0 57 yard Dash)
Tick 44
Tick 45
TAA launches two chakram attacks at HULK. More bamboo gets cut down as they home in on their target. The Infernal growls and uses the bamboo to spring himself away from the attacks and closer to TAA.
The Alchemical retreats yet further from HULK before catching the returning weapons.
(Speed 3, DV -3 78 yard Dash)
Tick 46
A draw is declared!
Postscript
Everything goes black. For a brief moment a silver star and green sun illuminate the darkness and then they too are gone.
The cheering of crowds is clearly audible as HULK appears in a small metal cage. An ageless looking man in purple finery strokes a long wispy white bread as he turns a starmetal key in the lock. Humming to himself he walks away, dropping the key into a hidden fold of his robes.
Comments from the Peanut Gallery
Well, that fight went slightly better than I expected, to be honest. As they say, speed is life, and TAA had that in spades. HULK was amazingly lucky to ever get close enough to attempt his combo, let alone do it twice! I still feel robbed about the 2 yard miss, but oh well. :) The match may have been declared a draw, but I think TAA had the win in sight. He had managed to do 5 or so wounds upon HULK, HULK could not hope to close the distance again for another combo, and all TAA needed to do was keep throwing those damn chakrams and then dash away. Eventually HULK would be pinged to death, and could do nothing about it. But in game terms, that would likely take another few hours, and neither wanted to play through that many ticks of attack, dodge, dash, pursue. HULK plays pretty much as designed. As much as having an excellency would be so sweet, or a perfect defence of his own, he's a lot of fun to play. TAA was severely hampered by the lack of artifacts. I mean, I say severely, but he still couldn't be touched or caught! :) Had he been hit by the combo though, then he would have really missed his armour. ;) Props to TAA for being so sporting in the first place, and congratulations on the technical win. :) nikink
