Facts:

Well, this looked curious. The flow of battle and everything went quire well and it was an interesting read. Naminé not having any link to an opponent for the first time was also interesting. And I liked reading her posts again. The two went quite well against one another and fairly. Didn't see anything special that could be mentioned and both took hits and fought with their all. - [Draw]

Style:

Who controlled the battle? Well... Both were well on the offense, Titan a bit more than Naminé, but she had her tricks and I felt at times there were chances for her to bring the fight more in her favor only for Titan to break right through like a wild animal. xD Heck, I could write a lengthy description of all the shifts and such, but as things went on, Naminé did try her best at manipulating this fight and in the end Fai striked back at full force. - [Draw]

Sportsmanship:

Titan did take in quite a few hits quickly, but Naminé was getting battered as well. She allowed for some things to happen as she furthered the battle, only for Titan to strike back and when we neared the end, only then Titan really started to show what he was capable of. Sad to say, but this would go to Titan. - [Titan]

Facts:

Both fighters used their abilities to their exact descriptions in their profile. They gave it their all; a good read as well. - [Draw]

Style:

It's like comparing apples to oranges, you have a strategic Namine and a barbaric Titan. Both analyzed the situation well, Namine going with a distanced approach, but Titan wrecked that for her. Namine even had to get some back up. Though, Titan's strategy seemed to be rather simple, and Namine's style was more complex and interesting to me. - [Namine]

Sportsmanship:

Titan had his jaw dislocated and took quite a few hits. Namine took Titan's bite, but I feel like there wasn't much focus on the pain on the arm. I mean, it could be me, but I feel like quite a few of my thoughts would be centered on the dragon biting my arm. Although, there wasn't much focus on jaw pain as well; especially when one of his most essential features got dislocated. I do understand he's a dragon and all, but I don't know; I feel like both focused a lot on what they were going to do to each other than what happened to themselves. Therefore, a winner on sportsmanship wasn't clear to me. - [Draw]

Overall Winner-: Namine

Facts:

Judging from a strictly factual standpoint, everything seemed to be in line with what was indicated in posts. I dunno, sorry this isn't more in depth. I may have dropped the ball so I'm giving quick reviews, here. I'm gonna draw it up because no one overused or abused their powers

Winner: N/A

Style:

It's been mentioned before, Titan is brute strength and Namine is a tactician. They both played well to their strengths, and I liked to see the planning and the chessboard piece movement of Namine, here. She definitely seemed to have set up that worked to her advantage, but then Titan's reactionary attitude worked super well for him, too. This is a hard category to judge. Namine did a real neat thing with the memories, linking it to Xion whom Titan had fought once before, and I liked Titan's reactions, summoning Cal in response to Namine's dusks. They are both very good writers, and their posts were enjoyable to read.

Winner- I'm gonna draw this up as well.

Sportsmanship:

Both were pretty good spots. Titan missed the real Namine twice, and Namine took some hits from Titan, namely the bite down on the arm. However, Titan took me aback a few times. It seemed as though when Namine made an attack, he didn't outright say if it hit or miss, relying on her to abandon the attack for a new pool set or revisit and try again.

Her kick, if landed after his charge, would do more than little for one of his comparable weight and size. He would likely take the hit though, if she were to manage, but only to remain as close as possible to the girl.

This was done after Namine made the kick, so why didn't it land? Because he was charging forward? If so, then I feel Titan needs to specify himself rather than let Namine decide a post after she makes the move whether it hits him or not. He also missed the horizontal slash that she mentioned. As such, it seemed in her next post she simply abandoned it.

Winner- Namine

As much as I would have liked to see Titan progress, I'm going to have to give the round to Namine.
