*reads the Facts explanation*

Hmm… I have to say that this is a very difficult category to judge. Both characters seemed incredibly in character and used their attacks as their descriptions indicate. I like how different their fighting styles are, with Silv going for the brute force tactic while Olette is moreso the dodge and evade type. They fit very well together, and I am a little sad that the fight did not progress as far as it could have, considering.

Since we're talking about bare bones facts here, I may have to give the category to Olette. Silv missed a few things that I thought was necessary to include, for instance, Olette's spells have a secondary effect that Silv did not mention avoiding, or having not affect her.

Fire (Lvl 1): Launches a ball of fire at the target with a 10% chance of inflicting Burn for one turn.

Blizzard (Lvl 1): Launches a shard of ice at the target with a 10% chance of inflicting Freeze for one turn.

I would have liked to have seen some mention of avoiding these secondary effects, but I am also marking off Olette for not explicitly stating them in her own posts. Fire and Blizzard are pretty basic spells, and the secondary effects are uncommon and can easily be missed. Still, I think it was Silv's responsibility to check this out to make sure the spells were played correctly.

Another mark off Silv comes in the fact that she dodged "Strike Rush" but it is never indicated in her post that she did any such action. However, I can't say that Olette was perfect. In her action box she missed the use of Blizzard, but this is easier to forgive since she did not go over her allotted move set and Silv took the hit anyway.

So when it comes to the facts of the fight, because Silv missed how she dodged "Strike Rush" and did not state that Olette's secondary effects missed, I will have to give the category to Olette.

Winner: Olette

Style:

As I mentioned in the Facts section, both characters played very well to their personal strengths and fighting style. There was no clear control of the battle. Silv attacked and Olette dodged. Nothing more was really done, here. It seems as though there was little planning and setting up of attacks, with the exception of Silv's Dark Beleaguer move. I thought it very smart of her to start charging that right out of the gate. It's the kind of thing you have Donkey Kong do in Smash Bros; charge his punch up while he's still invincible from entering battle.

I liked Olette's posts, though. They were entertaining to read and I really enjoyed how she gave reason and explanation to why she was so adapted to her fighting style. Mentions like surfing through crowds that help her solidify her stance, running around all day to deliver messages that helped build her stamina and speed, were all things that I thought were really nice touches to Olette's posts.

Olette, too gets marks for her reaction to Silv's posts. When Silv took the fireball to the face, Olette was freaked out, and she changed her fighting style from offensive which she knew would get her nowhere to a defensive one, hoping to wear her opponent down with light slashes while she ran around avoiding attacks as best as she could.

So when it comes to Style, both characters made good use of their fighting style, but I feel that Olette had more enjoyable posts to read, and coupled with that added insight to her mindset and explanation to her abilities, I'm going to have to give this category to Olette, too.

Winner: Olette

Sportsmanship:

Sportsmanship is a hard one to judge, mostly because both Silv and Olette did not take much damage. However, I did think it odd that Silv could take both a Fire spell to the face and a Blizzard spell full force with barely a flinch. It's clear that Silv can take a mighty load of damage and Olette can not, but I think that if the fight continued to progress, Silv's ability to take massive loads of damage like she did would have put her at an unfair advantage.

Olette, on the other hand, has a lot of speed and agility, and she used them to her advantage, avoiding Silv's attacks with perfectly reasonable explanation behind it. I wish the fight had progressed further, because I would have liked to have seen what Olette would have done with a big blow if she could have received it, if it would have laid her flat or if she could find the energy to continue fighting, but these are simply conjectures. I suppose I am giving Olette an unfair judging, here, because she doesn't ever mentioned getting tired from her evading and running away, which is right on par with my marks off Silv for taking damage without flinching.

*mulls*

When it comes down to it, I'm going to give the category to Olette. Silv did take some hits, but those hits were ineffective, which I thought was unfair. Though Olette did not take any hits other than the initial Dark Beleaguer move, she had enough reasonable explanation to her evasiveness that tips the category to her favor.

Winner: Olette

One down a bajillion more to go.

Facts:

Explanation - I feel both parties were good here at showing there respective fighting styles Silv the Juggernaut and Olette the courier. One packs a punch, the other can run. Though I do feel the complete obliviousness to a fireball may have been out of character not too sure, but I still think in the overall damage department Silv won, due to the fact that her powers were executed perfectly and with the Style they seemed to have been apped with, not to say Olette didn't show her spells well, I just felt that reading over the abilities I saw more of what they actually are out of Silv.[Silv]

Style:

Explanation - Well I would say neither fully controlled the battle completely though Silv continued with her onslaught of powers, Olette kept dodging and running if we are basing it off of who was on the offense most it was Silv. I like how Olette adapted to the battle though. Overall I feel Olette's writing style in this battle was more fluid, but Silv did well as well. Umm are we allowed ties if so A tie

Sportsmanship:

Explanation - So the first thing I noticed when reading was silv basically took a fireball and didn't even flinch. Now I can understand some characters being just bash through ignoring the outside influence, but that just seemed crazy. Both of you seemed to be in good spirits OOC I enjoyed the little back and forth messages.

My main erk on the other side of things was the fact that even though she basically either evaded or counter-acted ever attack Silv through at her. I get Olette is agile, she can dodge, but you can only dodge for so long, and it just felt like a scenario of here Player 1 attacks it wasn't effective Player two attacks It was evaded, and rinse and repeat.

So the question is which is worse evading every attack, or not being affected by basically every attack which falls back to which was more IC. In one case you have a heartless who takes attacks like they are nothing, a blizzard and a fire yes they are low power spells but at least some amount of actual reaction could have been added. On the other side like I said when you start to dodge basically everything it brings up questions in my head like "Would she continue to dodge every attack if this kept going?" I think what it boils down to is Olette though agile I just feel had the stamina and the acrobatics of a skilled ninja. And as I said before OOC they were both pretty nice to each other so that isn't a problem. I think this one has to be a tie as well for me. A tie

I, Ienzo, am filling out this report for the Silv vs. Olette battle.

Facts:

I don’t know how anyone can deem this battle enjoyable.
Although I’m not Captain Justice, I’d think even Phil would be more acute when pairing opponents. You have a girl who compares most of her experience with a meager side job and a butchering heartless. This set-up was uneven, so it wasn’t difficult to ‘display’ their strengths or one’s inexperienced; in a way it was forced.

This fight however did pressure the young woman, Olette, to think outside the box. As a studious personnel, I do find that valuable.Such ‘uniqueness’ is commendable; although it didn’t put her in an advantage, but in a spot to at least survive her match.
- [Olette]

Style:

In regards to who had control, the battle was simply in an early stage, but it was clear who asserted more control and dominance in the field, Silv. You can say it’s in her nature to be more assertive. It did feel like a game of cat and mouse; where one was merely testing and judging the other. Unfortunately, the judgement wouldn’t be a fair one, since the battle ended before the other could respond. I think it would’ve been interesting to see how the mouse would’ve gotten out of it. Perhaps it could’ve weighed more on her ‘style’, since she’s more of a responding defender than a brawler.

- [Silv]

Sportsmanship:

Factually speaking both battled with their stats in mind; although I spot a few that were interesting nonetheless. People should express how damages affect them rather than just ‘taking it’. What’s the point if it doesn’t add up, and if it isn’t effective, then state it. There also been moments where I thought were questionable.

Silv:
+ Dark Beleageur- Interesting how a 2 post charge equates to a 3 tier spell, and her limitation is a 5 post charge. I don’t know if this is deemed ‘foul’ play on the Heartless, but I wouldn’t put it past them to take advantages when they deemed fit.

+ Fire- One accounted that Olette should detail the 2nd effect, but as I can read her stats, so can any other. I would put into practice to jot them down anyway to avoid this occurrence. Yes, she took the blow, but never mentioned how the damage affected her if it did at all.

+ Thunder- I wonder if Breakers are naturally agile enough to dodge this. She’s already an unlikely breaker for being able to use magic, darkness. So I wonder what her downfall is. I’d presumed she wouldn’t be as agile with that bulky and long axe.

Olette:
+ Dark Beleaguer – How can one merely block a –ga tier level (despite how suspicious it may be). I would commend that she lessened the blow, but there was more than one attack coming at her. A negative result was anticipated.

+ Baton Twirl – Despite being ordinary, she’s quite crafty, and I’ll applaud for that. Still I don’t see this maneuver being efficient in deflecting. But I suppose it’s all ‘fair’ by letting the next player dictate it trajectory. So I’m willingly to not count it against her.

Olette

I suppose everyone loves an underdog story. Unfortunately, we won’t see how far the battle would transcend. I’m more interested to see what Olette would do to not meet what would look like an ‘inevitable’ demise.

A proposal if you will: Allow the posters to finish a ‘round’ of posts before closing the match. That way there’s an even amount of posts for each, and possibly a sense of closure.

Would humor himself in a playful thread talking to these competitors

Facts:

Right... uhm... Silv, your description is wrong, back at v3 it had been worked out that: 0 charges = simply attack; 1 charge = tier 1; 2 charges = tier 2; 3 charges = tier 3; 4 charges = tier 4; 5 charges = ultimate spell level (Ultima and such).

Moving away from that, we do see that some bits have gone unnoticed. Also, towards Sel: The Strike Rush was blocked and I did read it in the post, although she only put it down as a swing, not the attack's name. Anyhow, it was kind of a fault that the spells' secondary effects went unnoticed. Although, unsure who truly is at fault here, probably both... In any case, Silv really should've been affected somehow from the damage, she might be very tough, but any attack would affect anyone. At least at her size and such. - [Olette]

Style:

Well... This is fairly obvious to me. The one in control was Silv. She was constantly attacking while Olette was responding with dodges and such. I understand she's more of a quick character that plays safe, but still, she brought little on control in the flow of combat. - [Silv Sannerou]

Sportsmanship:

Both went very well in character. Albeit, I did wonder what reason Olette would have to enter this kind of game. And what kind of fate placed her against the murderous Silv? On this end, Silv might've taken two hits without any shown damage, but Olette did avoid a lot of damage. Next to that, she blocked somehow the tier 2 Dark Beleaguer along with a jump-enhanced downward strike with only sliding back a bit. I think this should've done much more. Next to that, I'm unsure how the Baton Twirl would be able to deflect the Black Disc like how she did, albeit Silv allowed this. All in all, I do feel this section would go to Silv... - [Silv Sannerou]

Due to lack of time, I can't make a review as of now. So before voting is closed, I give my vote to Silv. I'll add my review later if I has time, but I feel like there is enough meat on this thread to justify my vote.

Facts:

Yazoo-I did not write that ANONYMOUS review. I merely posted it for a member who didn't want anyone to know that they wrote it. Next time I'll post any future ANON reviews under my Raid Mod account to avoid this confusion.

But yes, this fight was very one-sided in regards to pairing. Silv is more experience in battle than Olette. I'm not sure if a Struggle Wand is actually capable of withstanding a block from a battle axe?? The majority of the attacks were thrown from Silv with very few counters from Olette who mainly responded with dodging/blocks. But a Blizzard and a Fire to the face isn't something that can easily have their effects written off.- [Neither]

Style:

Silv had full control of the match as she threw the assault at Olette who was dodging and only throwing attacks when Silv was in close proximity. At the end of the last post, Olette would have had difficulty of avoiding the shockwaves caused by Dark Seed and the surprise attack from above. - [Silv]

Sportsmanship:

Neither did take much damage despite Silv writing off the effects of Fire and Blizzard to the face [other than just ramming through them]. I personally wouldn't believe that a Struggle Wand would survive a beating from a battle axe for blocking and for deflecting it such as that Baton Twirl. In regards to the previous mentioned block, I'm honestly surprised that the impact didn't break any of Olette's bones despite the fact that it was written that she slide back. 

It's reasonable to believe that Olette who has no experience in a fight but to have lots of it from tasks that involved a lot of running and agility. However, I don't believe she has enough experience to utilize that running/agility experience to utilize it on instinct when she really needs to use it such as that surprise attack from above at Silv's last post.   - [Silv]
