Reki Vs. Manta (Combat Test #1)

[Hawk Eye]

This battle is for the purpose of testing the combat system. Standard Testing Rules will be used and Abilities will be disabled.

Name: Reki Shuto
Age: 15
Description: Reki almost always has a smile on his face, as if in a state of eternal bliss. Although he is a ninja, he has one greater love: music. It is not rare to see Reki humming to himself, dancing in place, or making a beat with his mouth in any situation. In fact, those who have been "privileged" to know Reki long enough describe that he has his own rythym playing in his head constantly, which affects much of what he does and says. Despite his playful exterior, Reki is actually quite talented; both as a musician and a trained shinobi.
Hair: Golden blonde, seems to always have a "perfectly styled cowlick". It is much longer on top then it is around the sides and back of his head.
Eyes: Brownish, almost yellowish
Build: 5"10; fairly tough looking. He has a surprising amount of agility and flexibility.
Clothing: Reki wears a black jacket with a randomly colored shirt underneath. His khaki pants are held up by a leather belt. Black and white shoes keep his feet warm. A leather strap across his body holds up a messenger bag across his side, and he wears a matching pair of leather-bound goggles across his head.

Surely I do. Man, it's been a LONG time. I'm looking forward to this. So, because this is a BETA Battle, I think we should cut the Roleplaying for now. That can be saved for Arena Matches. Until then, good luck.

Name: Manta Komori
Description: Manta’s burning personality and fiery attitude towards life is only matched by his deep perfectionism he applies to his daily tasks. In spite of the usually inattentive and carefree persona he often displays, Manta can often be the one found taking initiative to complete and lead tasks. Perhaps it is the constant ‘go-go-go’ voice in his head that drives him to do what he does… and how he does it. However, with a mischievous grin and a positive attitude, the proud Komori’s skills as a ninja excel and have destined him to a promising future.

Wavy red hair and a lanky, yet sturdy build are qualities that Manta has clearly inherited from his Komori family tree. At 5’10”, bright green eyes are plastered onto grinning face bright with positivism. He’s often found wearing a buttoned up plaid shirt (embossed with the Komori Tiger Lily) atop a bright red long-sleeved shirt. He wears basic beige cargo shorts and dark red sandals. Subtly placed around his neck is a pair of goggles, appropriately coloured to match the rest of his attire.

Hardcore. I can't see anything wrong from a players point of view... yet. It's working pretty well... fun, too.

[Hawk Eye]

I forgot to clear something up. I just edited Feint Step. Where it said "BLK Only", it should have said "the target can only block". Sorry for the mix up. So, go ahead and make whatever changes are necessary.

Sorry .

[Panicz]

Edits made. We all make mistakes... but now I might dislike that attack even more.

[Hawk Eye]

You forgot that Double Strike hits twice, so instead of reducing it by only 1, you reduce it by 2 since DEF is applied twice.

Also I think you got the battle map mixed up somehow?

Also you should have 2 AP. The Defense Penalty only reduces the user's AP if they use a jutsu while effected by it, not when they receive it.

Er, I'm afraid this might be where we leave off for a week or so. As I think I've mentioned before, I'm away for the next week and a bit, so I'll be unable to post at all. I, by all means, plan on finishing this battle (I do have a strategy), I just cannot do it... now. lolz. Good stuff.
