Type of Check: What we have here is a misunderstanding on his end of both his techniques and his moves/wording of his moves. Both of his issues are non issues, or rather misrepresented. As my opponent puts it, the distance I have to travel and cross is 9 meters while his attack has to travel 13 meters ( I'll speak more on this later ). Due to the angles of both our techniques, this does not become a problem; the grappling gun would reach the ledge 9 meters away and begin to pull me towards it while his own moving attacks would have comparatively only crossed 9 meters. It has 4 more meters to cross while being 4 meters wide before reaching me while I have 4 meters to cross to fully be out of the technique's range. By time it impacts my previous positioning, I'll perfectly be out of its range.
As for the second argument about wording and waiting, I want to point out the relevant wording in the technique and in his move: "Description: The character rapidly releases solar energy in the form of orb(s) that are one [1] meter in diameter." It mentions the user
rapidly releasing the energy; not slowly, not without haste but rapidly, in quick succession. These orbs are not said to be made slowly or released in slow succession. This directly indicates the orbs are created quickly. Since they are created and fired quickly, it can be safely assumed that they do not need much time to be released forward. This is important to note because his wording and description of his move is:
"Piccolo would swipe both his hand forwards sending 6 ki blasts towards his opponent whilst leaping backwards 6 meters. This created 3 orbs from each hand leaving 6 targets flying towards the opponent."
This is important to note because of the motion described. He swiped his hand forward to fire the blasts. If this is taken as described, you have to point out that you can't swipe forward with an already extended arm. You can only move it to the sides but swiping/flicking motions
forward aren't possible. This indicates that he starts his attack as his arms aren't outstretched and likely to his side in normal resting positions. This would start his assault 13 meters away, but that's not it. He also states he does this
while jumping backwards. If he does this while starting his attacks, it can be argued his blasts after the initial attacks actually start further away from me because of his jump back, giving even more time to avoid each of them should he still argue they aren't as the technique described ( released rapidly ). I should also point out contradicting statements about the release itself as he states he swipes with one hand then argues from both hands, suggesting both hands though this is more minor than his wrong arguments.
Either 1 of 2 outcomes is possible due to the wording: either they are created rapidly and take little time to form and as such, the time to grow a full orb and fire it in succession is negligible and they're created near rapidly enough to combat at one time OR they are created slow enough that from their initial release point, the jump backwards creates more time and space for them to travel which would still allow Blackmayne the needed time to fire them.
In conclusion, my rebuttals to his two perceived issues are simple:
1. Because due to his technique wording and his own movements, the blasts all travel from 13+ meters away, which would allow Blackmayne the necessary time to travel 9 meters away at the same speed of the attacks.
2. Because of the wording of the technique mentioning how rapidly it is released, and the positioning of his arms for his own wording to be correct as well as his backwards movement, I don't believe I am at risk of being hit by one orb before I am hit. Formed 13 meters away while launching himself back 6 meters while forming rapidly created orbs all add together to allow me to escape each orb.
☯ Checked!
