And there appeared an angel unto the battlefield: Terrifying and powerful, aglow with heavenly light, in the blue corner, it's Ldsity as Mikhail Isen! In the red corner, in the red corner, as Welsie Acktern, in the red corner, it's ActingPower as Welsie Acktern! This battle will use Special Actions. Commentary/heckling welcome! Will Welsie's time manipulation be enough to let her escape heaven's plan, or will Mikhail prove himself to be truly holier than thou?

I haven't taken a close look at Mikhail before and my first impression is that Hallowed is utterly nuts. Dude gets two Clockwork-lite styles on top of that so he can laugh in the face of Welsie's superior priority. We've already seen that Welsie is hard to play and flounders if she loses her Recursor counters, so I'm expecting a bit of a blowout unless ActingPower turns out to be a genius.

He is also more likely to win due to my person being a fairly new player. Her ability to outspeed my styles that give stun guard and soak, as well as ignoring them, will pose a problem since I don't have a Target lock from Ottavia to slow her down. I AM likely to just chunk Welsie down in 2-4 big hits if I want to win since she doesn't have a lot of defense. Whether or not that happens in as many beats is another story. Mikhail is a forgiving character in that he has ways to fight people at any range(Yay generalists!). Sacred and Apocalyptic laugh at rangers while the other 3 cover him in the middle and at punching distance. I'm excited to see Welsie in action again if for nothing else then the flavor of pseudo-time-traveling elemental fighting off an angel.

Oops! Forgot to bookmark this thread. The way I put it to my message to Wol is that I need to play control. I've seen Mikhail at his best; he's really terrifying. The best thing for me is to avoid your attacks while you're using Seals and try and attack you when I can avoid you next turn, since hitting you always gives you a Seal back. Like I said, my role in this game is to be control while you play aggro.

ActingPower posted:Oops! Forgot to bookmark this thread. Yeah, on second thought Hallowed is less good than it seems. Mikhail's game plan requires him to take hits and trade positively, which is not what Hallowed is for. Even if Hallowed would be a much better style in the hands of a generic character X, Mikhail might get more use out of Transcendent because it fits better with his strategy. Hallowed still has its niche as a thing he can throw out when at 3 seals or as a finishing move. The real outlier among his styles is Sacred, which looks like it's meant to discourage running away from Mikhail, but not actually get played in most games.

I dunno. The last time I played against Mikhail, I was always dancing around Hallowed. It's powerful as heck, it has both an advance and a range boost, and it pushes people out of the way so they can't hit back. No, the Style I've found is the most double-edged of swords is Immutable, since there's no "you may" in that "spend a Seal" text. In other words, it's the best way to make you burn two Seals in one turn. And if you don't Soak enough to take damage, then you won't get any back, either.

When I had a Malandrax vs. Mikhail fight on this forum, I was so busy dancing around Hallowed for most of the game that I made sure to not play my exceptional moves until it was down. Hallowed is Mikhail's bullshit style. I'm convinced every character has one; sometimes it changes based on the matchup, but ever character seems to have one.

It is his most threatening attack, it just doesn't help replenish Seals at all. Welsie in particular has a good chance of outspeeding it as long as she can stay at range 3 or more, though Hallowed Strike wrecks her poo poo pretty badly. Welsie's best move is usually Discordant, which has a really good chance of stunning the enemy as long as she can stay at range, but it's all but hard countered by Apocalyptic. Apocalyptic is Mikhail's real bullshit style in this matchup IMO, since Welsie has to be at long range to use most of her kit.
