(Doton: Yama Eikyō) - Earth Release: Mountain Smash
Ahaha, yeah.. I've noticed this technique was the hype of the latest tournaments. It seems like a very powerful and large scale technique. Not only do you have to stop it or destroy, but its so large that you have to be careful the earthen debris doesnt harm you as well. Not only is it strong and large but the technique is also fast, which makes it very very hard to actually get away from it without trying to destroy it. And since it has extra damage, even dividing the power of each slab would cause them to be stronger than ordinary A ranks, which makes it that much harder.
(Doton: Koka no Jutsu) - Earth Release: Hardening Technique
I've encountered this technique in battle before! A very good armor technique that as you said, coats your entire body except for your head? Thats a really nice weakness, more or less anyways. Another thing is that the armor is so large and dense that if the target coats the entire body, they would be slow and not so flexible. But the armor is so versatile, its almost not needed. Not only can it defend but it can also be used to attack by manipulating the structure of the rocks coating the body to extend spears or something similar. Ive seen it used to create the burst necessary to escape genjutsu as well.
(Doton: Dai iwa Kyojin no Jutsu) - Earth Release: Great Stone Golem Technique
As you stated, it is a stronger version of the one I learned previously. Unlike the last one, this one needs the ground itself to rise because of it's massively large scale. It is so big that it's arms can even reach up to long range which seems useful for fleeing targets. A weak point is that the user is limited to only controlling the golem and cant perform other techniques if he wants to keep it active. If the hands dont need to be on the ground the entire time, it is a good opportunity to use freeform attacks in the meantime.
Would the user need to maintain his hands on the ground for the entire time the golem is in effect or only until it has fully risen from the ground?
