I'll be using the Yoshimitsu bio in my signature.

Terrain: Inside a wooden Dojo with rice paper walls. Ouside the Dojo is a thing forest covered with an inch of snow during a clear night. The moon light is enough to see an opponent up to short range.

Yoshimitsu sits inside the dojo with his Samurai gear on. His Ancestral Blade is on his back while a katana and wakazashi sit secured to his hip. His eyes are closed as he meditates and waits for an opponent.

 

[Typhon]

Yoshi: It appears nobody is going to show. Perhaps I'll just practice myself.

Yoshi slowly got up and took a deep breath with his eyes closed. Then in the blink of an eye he sprang into motion expertly unsheathing both his katana and wakazashi at the same moment. He slid his left foot forward while extending his left arm which held the wakazashi, holding it vertically out in front of his body. His right arm which wielded the katana went up and back while his elbow bent down at an acute angle as he held the katana horizontal to the ground pointed straight ahead. Yoshi took a step forward and slashed down on a diagonal with his katana as if he was striking the left shoulder of an enemy and slicing down to their right hip. He then lowered the wakazashi to the katana's level and ripped back up the same path, this time with both weapons. The blades sliced through the air sharply creating a gust of wind within the dojo.

 

[Atrocitus]

Within that gust, you feel a presence in fact it feels like two, but you only see one armor clad Samurai to your side (mid range). Staring at each other silently, I bow.

 

[Typhon]

I calmly place the katana and wakazashi back in their sheathes and turn to examine the newcomer. As you bow, I bow as well showing respect.

Yoshi: Greetings.

I immediately feel as if something is odd or perhaps unnatural about you, though I can't put my finger on it.

Yoshi: Welcome to my Dojo friend, would you care to spar? Be warned though, in my family a spar can be just as intense as a battle.

Yoshi already knew the man's response, but it was customary within his family to ask. Declaring it a spar meant that it was somewhat friendly. Yoshi had no desire to do harm to the opponent, but at the same time he wouldn't hold back. Holding back would mean he thought the opponent was weaker than him, and that would be a high insult to any warrior.

 

[Atrocitus]

Miyamoto:It would be an honor to fight

*He bowed again and placed his right hand on his right katana 's handle(on his hip) and breathed deeply in preparing himself for the challenge to come*

 

[Typhon]

Once you've taken your stance I dart towards you while sliding the katana out of its sheathe. I hold it in my right hand with the tip pointed down at the ground lagging a little behind my body. My left hand rests on the grip of the sheathed wakazashi. Just as you come into range I sweep upward with the katana aiming to go from your left hip, across your body, off your right shoulder.

 

[Atrocitus]

As you dart at me Miyamoto places his left hand on his second katana (on his left hip) as I unsheathe my right hip katana. Then I use my right katana and bring it down on your upward strike thus blocking it and holding it there.

Miyamoto: "They say you can tell what type of person your opponent is from the moment your blades clash for the first time. Do you believe in such a thing?"

 

[Typhon]

The two katana meet with equal force bringing each other to a stand still.

Yoshimitsu: Our blades are an extension of ourselves. As they clash they speak to each other without words and are incapable of deception. It is the only way to understand the true nature of a man's soul.

As I finish my sentence I slide the wakazashi out of its sheath holding it dagger style. I rip it up at your extended arm aiming at the spot just above your elbow where your bare skin is exposed. I then leap back creating some distance between us holding the two weapons crossed in front of me.

As you pull the wakazashi I twist my blade so that the flat side is on the edge of your blade and as I do this I step in (while slightly turning to my left) and I elbow you (with my right elbow) in the stomach pushing you back. I then unsheathe my left katana and I watch you while slowly circling around you (I go around your left).

Miyamoto: "Then tell me what did you my blade say?"

 

[Typhon]

The elbow strikes my stomach and pushes me back giving us distance from one another. I mirror your movement as you circle around me keeping my front towards you at all times.

Yoshimitsu: Your blade told me it was fighting for someone dear to it. It spoke of loyalty and sternness.

I sheath the pair of weapons and right my right hand behind my head grabbing the handle of my Ancestral blade. I hold it out in front of my body with both hands and charge at you delivering a powerful horizontal slash starting at the right side of your chest across to your left.

Yoshimitsu: Can you hear the words of my blade as well?

 

[Atrocitus]

Seeing your powerful strike I bring both swords up to my right, which almost forces me down on one knee. While we hold each other in place with equal strength Miyamoto begins to speak:

Miyamoto: "Yours attested to your unwavering discipline and honor to Bushido, it spoke of a man who should be respected"

With the end of my sentence I use more strength and leverage to push the blade to my right side and as soon as my blades are free, I do a horizontal slash with my left sword starting from your right side of your stomach to the left side. While I do that I horzontally slash at your neck with my right sword starting from your left side to the right side.

 

[Typhon]

As the horizontal slash comes from my right I turn the Ancestral blade so the tip is facing down and the flash of the blade is resting against the outside of my forearm. I hold the sword to my right to intercept the incoming slash. With the sword preoccupied and your other slash coming from my left aimed at my neck, I quickly duck down below the slash and push forward thrusting my left palm straight ahead at your stomach. As you get pushed back your other blade slides off mine and I leap in the air grabbing my sword's handle with both hands and swing down just to the right of your head aimed at your left shoulder using gravity to increase the power of the strike.

 

[Gatsndshanks]

As Yoshimitsu pushes Hanzou away, a large wooden slab drops from the ceiling. It falls on top of you both, though it is easily evaded. Once the slab lands, a similar effect happens but with me landing on top of it.

"Kukuku... Sorry to interrupt on your little multiplayer game but I suppose it is time for the boss round!"

Wielding six sticky gold swords, one sword for each hand, I throw one of each at both competitors and backflip into the air, throwing two more at each of you O_O

*Miyamoto evades the slab by rolling to the side and he easily deflects your projectiles with his two katana*

Miyamoto: "An unslighty beast has interrupted our spar Yoshi, lets do away with it and teach it a lesson for its lack of respect!"

Hattori: "Lets fight together since its two others in the room now"

*With that Hattori brought his arms out of Miyamoto's shoulders and grabbed the two katanas out of the sheathes on Miyamoto's back and both assumed a stance readying for the incoming attacks*

 

[Typhon]

As the ceiling begins to crack I look up and quickly leap back. A six armed man crashes through the ceiling.

Yoshimitsu (Thinking): What a strange looking boy. . .I've never seen a Samurai who looks like that. Is he a Shinobi?

As the first sword is released towards me I swing up and to the left with my blade deflecting the golden sword to my left. With the next two coming at me I dive and roll to my right avoiding them. I then see Miyamoto grow extra arms as well.

Yoshimitsu (Thinking): That must have been the odd presence I felt before. I'm facing some interesting opponents today.

Yoshimitsu: Hmph. It isn't very respectful to interrupt a spar like that, young one. What's your name?

 

[Gatsndshanks]

*Looks at Miyamato with interest* "Hmph. A Souma no Kou as well as being a Samurai? It doesn't matter, I am far superior to you first level enemies.

*Diverts his attention to Yoshi* "As for you, I hold no regard for respecting such cannon fodder known as Samurai whom hold a sword dearly when it is only a fleeting object of power. You do not have the right to ask me for my name U_U "

*From the pours of my arms, sticky gold begins to eject and form six relatively large tonfas, preparing myself*

"The problem about you Samurai is that you are limited to only your swords. Now behold the power of diversity!"

 

[Atrocitus]

Miyamoto: Yoshi!, Shall we fight together?

Hattori: "Brother lets just attack and we will sort out friends and foes later"

*With that Hattori moved his swords so they pointing outwards parallel to the ground from Miyamoto's back, and Miyamoto held his swords pointing forwards also parallel to the ground. With this Miyamoto crouched down and pushed himself off of the ground sending him with speed at Kidoumaru, as they leave the ground Miyamoto rotates fast in mid air causing them to look like a whirlwind of swords and making them unpredictable to Kidoumaru's eye. The using the rotation they spin and slash Kidoumaru multiple times.*

 

[Typhon]

Yoshimitsu: I apologize Miyamoto, but my honor won't allow me to battle against a foe two against one. As for you, nameless shinobi fool, your disrespect for the blade is disheartening. When my blade deflected yours it heard nothing. The sword of a samurai is a living extension of his body and soul. That is why my blade will never waver in front of your tools.

I remove my katana from its sheath with my left hand while holding the Ancestral Blade in my right. As Miyamoto shoots towards you I charge from your right. I leap up into the air and come down with my katana aimed at the shoulder of your top right arm while the ancestral blade is aimed at Miyamoto's left shoulder.

 

[Gatsndshanks]

"How reckless this Souma Samurai is... I can tell his life means nothing to him. What a shame that he won't survive past the tutorial level"

Seeing the tornado take shape, I use one of the left-handed blunt sticky gold tonfa to jam the rotation in motion with your far right outward sword (my right) throwing you off balance and stopping you in your tracks as your sword attempts to slice through my blunt weapon.

I smile devilishly as out of the corner of my eye, I see the other samurai coming forth in mid-air. In a quick and fluent strike, I use two of my right-handed tonfa's to knock Miyamoto into the path of Yoshi. The end result being that they both collide in mid-air and Miyamoto possibly being stabbed by Yoshi.

 

[Atrocitus]

*When Kidoumaru throws his tonfa at my left back sword Hattori relies on his other senses (Minds eye) and because a sword is an extension of ones soul Hattori can "feel" your tonfa coming and so he skillfully moves the sword up and dodges your projectile while they continue onto Kidoumaru. Also noticing Danzo's attack, Hattori moves his right arm (with sword in tow) and blocks the blow (which stops the rotation thus saving Kidoumaru), as soon as the rotation ends Miyamoto immediately back rolls and side rolls to the left to dodge any coming projectiles*

Hattori: "Ha!, maybe you should return to the tutorial level so you can learn how to play properly."
