Welcome to another exciting round of BattleCON! I'm your host, ActingPower. Today's competitor's are: Gutter Owl as Cherri Seneca, the girl recalled to life, cursed with a mind-shattering void, and Alien Rope Burn as Arec Russel Zane, the child of the Sorceror Baron, the young prodigy whose only goals are love and ease. How will Arec's mind control fare against a girl with a mind lost to the deafening abyss? Can Cherri overcome the subtle manipulations of the boy wonder? That is our story. Let us begin!   Everyone's invited to chat about the match: what you like, what you don't like, how these two screwed up, whatever. Please, feel free to reveal all of your best strategies so we can crush you later.  Cherri, Arec, send me your starting discards and finishers. Best of luck to both of you!

Oops, I forgot to put this before the next beat.ActingPower posted:Beat 2 Begins It doesn't really matter where, because A) Arec misses no matter what you pick, B) you hit no matter what you pick, and C) you're teleporting to Range 3 after activating anyway. Still, I'd like to go through the formalities. ActingPower fucked around with this message at 19:52 on Jul 2, 2014 |

Tollymain posted:one denial-strat character deserves another The hard thing for Arec, though, is that Cherri doesn't have anything on her Styles. That's her whole thing: clash like crazy, evade everything else. I think most of the damage she's dealt has been life loss, actually. (EDIT: Yeah, 8 of the 12 so far.) So Arec is kind of behind the 8-ball on this one. :/ ActingPower fucked around with this message at 02:28 on Jul 13, 2014 |

Alien Rope Burn posted:Generally, though, I think this is one of the worst matchups I've seen. I'll gladly explain further after the match is over, but I'm holding my nose to finish this out. Really, I've been holding my nose since about Beat 2. I apologize for being really sluggish this match, but it's just been a big ball of frustration for me. For what it's worth, I'm sorry. I just picked two characters that I thought were cool. I didn't mean to put you in a bad spot.
