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.

Ah, good. Hallowed's out of the way. Let's advance just 1.

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.

Let's only advance 1. I need all the range I can get.

:siren: Welsie, where do you end up?

Put me in the corner, I guess. (The far one, distance 4, I mean.)

Oh, hey, I'm gonna pierce your Soak! ...But I can't pierce your Stun Immunity. :(

Let's just burn the one on Discard Pile 1 that I'm getting back anyway.

Welsie, from where does your second viewpoint originate?

I think I wanna be close up. Put me at range 1.

That's... much better than I anticipated. Now you can't counter-Pulse!

1 and 7, s'il vous plait. It's time to do some more sniping!

Spoilers: I'm gonna lose this one. Shoulda gone with Parallax Drive last beat. :(

Don't do this to me. I've been looking at all of my possible moves, and none of them could do it. Now I'm gonna go crazy-triple checking them all.

Okay, that's for Dwarf Fortress, but still.

And Welsie bites the dust again. Ah well. She's actually a lot of fun once she starts Recurring a good attack, but without that, man, she's totally defenseless. (Also, Sacred was killer for her.) Good game, Ldsity!

Nah dude, I already see the perfect counter move to my play ;)

Speaking of which, what was the secret play here? Other than virtual table-flip, of course. :cheeky:

Parallax Dash

Aren't those two separate moves?

Good game to you as well Acting Power, you really had me worried there after that Pulse. Welsie may not have good defenses, but she's SO fast with her styles! She can shut down the ranged game with a parallax since a typical ranged opponent has more than one minimum ranged style (yay Mikhail hit confirm). And yes, the ability to have 2 more attacks ready to spam over and over decided so many of my moves from beat to beat. I was deathly afraid of anomalous anything this enire game.

Oh man, I was so glad when I hit your Sacred Style with Anomalous. That bought me a little time. And your Cancel, too. But yeah, his was a crazy match. Good game!

...Do the Parallax first. I can't believe I forgot about that. :argh:
