Bishamon Breaks it Down for Me

[Lili-Chwan]

I was going to call it BiBi and LiLi...

 

[BishamonSama]

Ok. How many elements do you know, and which ones?

 

[Lili-Chwan]

Wind, Earth, Fire and Lightning ^^

 

[BishamonSama]

Ah, so you're rather experienced. That's good.

So then, tell me what you would do if threw a gigantic 2-story high rock boulder at you?

Hum... As you/or if you lift it up before throwing it, I'd either shoot 2 arrows to cut your ciatic nerves, making you loose sensation in your legs and crash down, with the boulder on top. Or something similair, probably infused with wind (like needles, hard to see and easy to shoot).

As long as I have sight of you, I'd throw something underneath the rock.

Against the rock itself, I'd charge lightning around myself and blast it way, while the smaller rocks would be knocked away by the wind against you.

Rank: A
Type: Offense
Range: Short/Mid
Chakra Cost: 30
Damage Points: 60
Description: The user forms a whirling vortex of wind and electricity around themselves. The vortex will take on the form of a dragon�s head and will cover the area in front of them. Even if the attack doesn't directly connect with his foe, the lightning can jump from the vortex to hit a nearby target.

That's not bad at all. You took advantage of my vulnerability at the beginning of the attack. That's certainly a viable strategy. And using lightning against earth is obviously always a good idea.

However, it would have been a good idea to use your defensive lightning jutsu as an offensive counter. For example, when my vision of you is blocked by the boulder mid-flight, you could have used Lightning: False Darkness to split the rock in two and cause two powerful lightning blasts to shoot at me. Also, because the boulder would block my vision of you and the lightning, i would have little if any time to react to the lightning counter.

It's defensive counter attacks like those that turn the battle around in your favor. You ALWAYS want to get your opponent into a position where they're using up all three of their jutsus on defending from your attacks, and none on attacking you back. In that position, it's just a matter of time until you trap them with your relentless attacks.

If you find yourself always defending from your opponent's attacks, you should always try to use do a defensive counter-attack, like the one I detailed above.

Why hello! O^O

Augh, calm down, Elias or you'll scare away the new student
Shouldn't you be working on resubmitting your bio... And jutsus?

 

[Lili-Chwan]

I don't scare easily...

I was worried that the size of the boulder would overpower a lightning blast, as in the blast would pierce through, but the remainnings of the boulder would still knock me down.

But following your advice, is something like using your surroundings to create combinations (which mostly take 2 jutsus to block), or using your opponent's attacks against them so that they use all their jutsus to deffend and not attack. Eventually something would pass through. That's a pretty decent strategy.

I usually make the opponent act a certain way, to strike the other side, using lots of decoys and deffence moves, so that I can strike when I get an oppening.

If you managed to split the boulder in half, the two halves would fall to either side of you, leaving you safe in the gap in between them. One 'trick' you can use when battling is be very specific about how your jutsus affect your opponent's.

Waiting for an opening can be beneficial in certain situations, but that's sort of tricky because you might find yourself completely overwhelmed by your opponent's attacks, you could lose your chance to counter attack, or you could leave an opening when you attack your opponent's opening. That sort of strategy is tricky because you're using up jutsus for defense, and you could only have one or maybe two jutsus left to use to attack your opponent's opening. It's certainly possible to use that strategy, but it can be risky, especially when fighting an experienced opponent.

Bio is done, Jutsus..... I dunno.

It'd take hours to find them.

I still have the rights to Dark Fire though, so that's good.

Hello stranger

 

[BishamonSama]

Lol, that's Elias - my former student.

A very important aspect of battle, as I'm sure you know, is obscuring your opponent's vision and other senses. If you can attack your opponent without them seeing, hearing, or sensing you, you're in a VERY good situation. Likewise, you should always make sure that you don't lose track of your opponent.

Usually when they toss a smoke bomb to hide their moves, I sweap them with a barrage of needles or weapons, so that they have no way to escape.
One thing I also do is projecting either my voice or the sound of a kunnai slashing the air to another place, making my opponent deffend against the wrong thing.

 

[BishamonSama]

That's quite clever. You're very good at this.

Now, how would you defend against a sight/sound-based genjutsu, and how would you get out of one?

 

[Typhon]

*plops down and takes notes*

Dont mind me. o-o

 

[BishamonSama]

Lol, feel free

Hum, that is harder because I've never fought anyone using genjutsu, and it's very rare to see fights where it is used, even though I try to use every category of jutsu, I think I've only used it a couple of times.

There are always some tips to know if you're in a genjutsu or not, right? Your head should feel weird, since someone else's chakra is messing with it... Also normally Genjutsus affect only one sense, from what I've seen. Normally it's only the sight of the user that is affected, correct me if I'm wrong, since I'm entering on a pure speculation zone.

Being a hunter in one bio, I'm used to see every move, every expression and also every sound made by the one I'm fighting. Even if I don't react automatically, I'd easily get that I'm on a genjutsu and I'd force chakra on my head and blast the presence of the caster right away. but I also like to appear to have been affected. People usually feel safe and let their guards down when they use a genjutsu, so if they still assume we're in the genjutsu, we can counter attack efficiently.

There's another thing. Usually animals aren't affected by genjutsu. Teca wouldn't be affected and she could bark (or w/e sound foxes make) to snap me out of the jutsu, or ultimately bite the opponent to make him loose concentration and release the gen.

Against sharingan user, I don't usually look to their eyes. That can be both a downside and an advantage. Do you have any tips for those cases? I mean, you must be brighter then Guy Sensei...
