Hear the gears grinding to a halt? Time's running out. Who will win?

Playing as the gleaming clockwork titan Cadenza, Poison Mushroom!



And facing her as the master of (his own) doomed fates Gaspar, Shadow225!



Let's hope the timer survives long enough to find out who triumphs!

And that requested reminder for Shadow225:

Discard 1: The style and base(s) you played last beat.
Discard 2: The style and base(s) that will return to your hand next beat.

Early analysis on this matchup: Gaspar Geddon has low Power on his styles, which means that Cadenza's ample Soak might very well negate his attacks. However, Gaspar has two sources of Ignore Soak, and a style that can stun through Stun Guard, which means that he might just cleave through Cadenza's defences! We'll have to see how Shadow uses the tools at their (pronouns?) disposal. Also, I hope I'm not throwing them in the deep end, I assumed that having a physical copy of the game that they've had more opportunity to play than Poison has.

You have much faith in the mid-south gaming scene. Quick question: If the opponent is in the same space as a clone, does the clone still hit him/her?

None of your bases have a Range of 0, sorry.

My precedent here is K&J's Jager marker + Howling (which has a Range of -1~+0, dropping the minimum range on most attacks to 0)

Shadow225

That makes sense. Thanks!

keep yr head up, problem girl
There is no circumstance in which your clone can co-occupy a space with your opponent.

If your opponent moves into the clone, the clone dies instantly. If the clone moves towards the opponent, it "hops over" as a character would.

Additionally, the FAQ has ruled that Gaspar cannot ante his clone directly underneath an opponent.

thanks gutter! that last instance was the only thing i was unsure about regarding a clone being able to share a space with the opponent at all

shadow what do you want to do with your movement? i'm assuming you're ensuring you land your burst on cadenza, correct me if i'm wrong

Shadow225
Jan 2, 2007




So, if I get this wrong, let me know.

Start of beat:
Retreat 2 spaces.
Cadenza should be range 3 from Gaspar and range 1 from clone.

Clone on hit:
Pull one space to right.
Move one space to left.
Should still be in corner.

Gaspar on hit:
Pull 0 spaces.
Should still be in corner.

Also, forgive my lack of intimacy with the rules, but I was under the impression that we both revealed our Antes simultaneously. Am I off base with that, or is Gaspar a corner case?

ActingPower

The Active Player from last beat starts the ante, and then it goes back and forth until they both pass consecutively. That's Gaspar or anyone else.
