I wanted to make sure you couldn't get out of taking damage. Yeah, I'll take some too...but all's well that ends in blood.

I'd worked out Drive beat Strike, Buster beat Drive, Field beat Buster, Strike beat Field... and picked the wrong one. Bah.

I'll leave the projection where it is.

Surprising no-one!

Man, that was rough. I know I wasn't using Sarafina to her fullest, but it felt like every beat I was on the back foot, struggling to survive long enough to maybe get a hit in later? Ouch.

Thanks for the game, though. If we play again in future I'll try to put in a better showing.

Thanks for the game!

I'm not sure how much of that was skill on my part and how much was just Endrbyt's kit itself being a good counter to Sarafina. I was pretty spoiled by the wealth of ranged options, and Displacement in particular was absolutely invaluable.

Regardless, was fun. Would love to play some more. :)

Edit: Also, you've alluded to the bot having issues in the past, but it ran absolutely perfectly on my end this game. Top notch!

Yeah, I get the feeling that Sarafina's utterly dependent on dodging attacks by keeping her range unpredictable -- except four of your five styles had enough range to almost totally negate that.

And yeah, the first game I played with the bot (vs Gutter Owl) it broke a bunch of times so I fixed it each time, and now it's pretty stable. Hopefully it'll encourage more people to play PbP Battlecon, since they only need to co-ordinate two folks instead of three!
