Crutch and the God of War

[Crutch Kaguya]

-waits for the Bisha-
It's been a extemely long time since I've been in this section.

 

[BishamonSama]

Lol, nostalgic, eh?

Well, let's dive right into it. You're experienced enough to know your weaknesses. So, what would you like to learn?

 

[Crutch Kaguya]

I'd like to learn some battle tactics.
I'm pretty good in all areas but I want to improve a little by hearing what you got to say.

 

[BishamonSama]

Use jutsus to block your opponent's vision of other jutsus that you use.

For instance, use a fireball jutsu against your opponent. The fireball will block your opponent's vision of your next jutsu, giving him less time to react to your second jutsu.

Predict your opponent's counters.

For instance, if you use a fireball jutsu against your opponent, he will most likely use a water jutsu to block it. Earth is strong against water. So, if you use a fire jutsu, follow it up with an Earth jutsu to break through your opponent's defensive attack against the fire jutsu.

Combine these two concepts.

Use a fire jutsu, causing your opponent to use a water jutsu. Use the fire jutsu to block your opponent's view of your earth jutsu, which crashes through your opponent's water defenses before they have time to react.

I have a similar combo that uses a fireball and lightning element instead of earth. After I use a fireball jutsu, I use False Darkness to send lightning through the fireball and catch the opponent by surprise. Since lightning travels faster than fire the lightning would reach them first. If they try to counter the lightning with wind then they will be unwillingly powering up my fireball jutsu.

Though you fireball jutsu and earth element attacks seems like a good one there aren't many earth jutsus that are powerful and projectiles. Most earth jutsu attack the opponent indirectly.

Lol, you seem to already know a lot. xd

All right, how about this, then.

You should always try to get into the position where you are using all three of your moves to attack, and your opponent is using all three to defend. In that situation, it's just a matter of time until you win. If you find yourself defending with three jutsus and your opponent attacking with all three, you should do the following: use one high-level jutsu to block two of your opponent's jutsus (being able to do that requires you adapt to the particular situation) and then use one jutsu that is the elemental opposite of your opponent's third jutsu to block that third jutsu. Then, because your second jutsu had an elemental advantage over your opponent's third jutsu, it will not be completely destroyed, and you can use its remains to create a two jutsu combo with your third remaining jutsu to attack your opponent.

Yeah, I always try to use all my jutsus to their full potential. I also find it helpful when you can use your opponent's jutsu against them. Instead of merely just blocking the jutsu, try to take advantage of it. And there are some circumstances where you can use an offensive attack and allow it to also defend against your opponent's jutsu by deflaut.

 

[BishamonSama]

Yeah yeah, but the most important thing to take away from that is that the best situation you can be in is where you're using all three jutsus to attack. For instance, in my most recent move in my Sensei test, I'm using all three jutsus to attack

Here's an ok tip: when in doubt, b*tch it out. If your opponent makes a move that you don't think is right, call them out on it. If it's a trivial error, don't take any notice of it if it happened in, say, the first 6 moves. However, if it's a trivial error and the fight has been dragging on for a while, by all means, b*tch about it. In that case, the battle would likely never come to a finish anyway. You might as well have a technical win from b*tching about something. Yes, it's annoying and yes, it's kind of jerk-ish, but it's in your best interests, especially if you don't like the person you're battling.

Ahhh, yes the three ways to victory.

1. Someone actaully dies. The most rarest of endings.
2. Someone quits. More likely to be seen.
3. Someone makes a mistake and gets bitched and a forced victory is given to the person who bitched correctly. Happens in 9 out of 10 NB fights. :|

Lol, yes xd

Case 1 is always the most fun, though

I assume you already know proper bitching techniques lol

Aaaanyway.

Anyone can come up with jutsu combos outside of battle. But, integrating them into actual battle is another story. It's rare in battle that you find yourself in just the right conditions to use a specific combo that you invented outside of battle. The difference between an OK battler and a great battler is the ability to create combo attacks on the fly in the middle of a battle.

I may have already said that, but that is one of THE most important things in battle tactics: creating combo attacks on the fly.

The best thing you can do in battle is visualize the situation in your mind: where is your opponent, where are you, what attacks is your opponent using, what can you use to counter. Stuff like that. Taijutsu follows the same principles.

Also, be aware of the speed differences in the different elemental schools. For instance, a lightning technique will probably hit your opponent faster and sooner than a water technique of equal strength would. Taking advantage of the speed of jutsus can be very effective, because you can first cast one jutsu of medium speed, and then cast one jutsu of high speed. The jutsus will hit your opponent at roughly the same time, and your opponent will have little time to realize you're using a second jutsu, let alone react to and effectively block both jutsus at once.

Lol, knowing how to bitch in NB fights is essential. More important than knowing jutsus. xd

So hows about we have a spar.

 

[BishamonSama]

All right, let's have a bit of a spar. You attack me first, and I will counter, while explaining the mistakes that you may have made in your attack.

 

[Crutch Kaguya]

I'll start off by using

(Katon: Gouryuuka No Jutsu) - Fire Style: Great Dragon Fire
Rank: A
Type: Attack
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra cost: 30
Damage Points: 60
Description: After performing the needed hand seals, the user will expel dragon head fireballs at their opponent. These powerful fireballs can punch through concrete.

and send 2 dragon head shaped fireballs(since this jutsu allows to user to fire more than one fireball it doesn't count as 2 jutsus) in your direction. I fire them at an angle so they both travel side by side not one behind the other. As soon as that is finished I use

(Doton: Doryo Dango) - Earth Style: Ball of Graves
Rank: B
Type: Offense
Range: Short/Mid
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage Points: 40
Description: The user is able to overturn the earth into a large dumpling-shaped chunk of dirt the size of a mausoleum. Using immense strength, they can then lift up the ball and hurl it at his/her opponent, flattening everything in its path.

to hurl a giant bolder toward you. It travels a short distance behind the fireballs. Since your vision is blocked by the fire you cannot see the earth jutsu. While the bolder is rolling towards you I use

Fuuton: Dai Kamaitachi (Wind Style: Great Cutting Whirlwind)
Type:Attack
Rank: B
Range:Short-Mid
Chakra Cost:20
Damage Points:40
Description: A bigger version of the cutting whirlwind.

creating a large blast of wind, the wind not only powers up my fireballs from behind making them a wind/fire two element combo but also speeds up my earth bolder making it more destructive.
