Issue: I believe he broke T/F in his move, and even he did not, the Wind Tornadoes should have no effect on me due to my shadow state, and they can't keep up with me to be able to intercept and surround me, which if they did, also creates an issue of him getting hit by them.
Your Reasoning of the Issue:
The relevant time frame is the following, starting with my move
A)Ink Phoenix to attack Hei
B)Tornado Wall/Change Into Hell to counter and continue towards me
a)Serial Waves for Tornadoes to target me and the hawk
C)Demon Stripe/Erebus to attack and move in an arc alone w/o the hawk, respectively
D)a)Serial Waves (which is where the issue is. Isn't mentioned in his move where it occurred, but it was still used as he deducts the chakra for it)
b)Absorption Arm to counter the Demon Stripe that moved from above to Hei
c)The Tornadoes are then supposed to affect me as he claims that I'm trapped inside them.
So, in response to his attack I utilise an ink technique to overpower and continue towards him. He responds by creating the sentient wind wall that
After he creates the wind tornadoes I utilise a Nara technique to send a portion of my shadow above the tornadoes and separate it, giving it a form and pseudo-sentience (CoY and Sourceless/Apex Specialty) to have it attack Hei. In tandem, Erebus would activate and through it I'd move in a wide arc to end up 6 meters to Hei's right side.
In his last move, Serpent says that the wind tornadoes would hit the Hawk, so based on his previous wording in bold, that would mean that Serial Waves was used, which he did not reference at all in his move. He also deducted the chakra for it, so it was used. This brings us to the
Timeframe update, where it is stated ( if Person B's reply does not make it a requirement for Person A's move to be changed in some way, such as
changing aim, trajectory, or jutsu used, Person A's move will proceed as described. Of course, should this be in dispute at any time within a fight, it will be checked as all other issues are.)
Due to my movement away from the hawk, the Serial wave's usage would need to be posted again, taking up a slot in the tf. He did not mention them in his moves, but with what I bolded before, him deducting chakra for techniques usage, and what he said in his current move
would all lead me to believe that there are some timeframe issues, with the serial waves taking up the first slot, followed by his tornado slamming into the hawk/His absorption arm attempt. Due to that, the Shadow would have the tf slot to have already hit him before he counters. He says his counter occurs with the wind creatures actions, which would put it with the wind hitting the hawk, and not when it uses serial waves like he claims in VMs. The fact that he didn't even mention serial waves in his move makes it hard to believe that his counter was supposed to occur with it.
Now let's say all that is wrong, his move still has several problems.
First off, the wind simply would not have any effect on me as I am in an intangible shadow state. So the claim of the wind being able to is illogical. It's rotating/currents would simply have no effect on my shadow state, which he even acknowledges in his move would prevent me from sustaining damage, so why would I be affected by another physical aspect?
Second, the wind should not be able to even surround me, it doesn't have the speed to do so. I am moving 16 SPD due to SM, whereas techniques as far as I know, ain't moving that fast. In the
fourth paragraph, LoK says So let's say this is a special case where the wind is faster and whatnot, it is still not going to be as fast as me. Also, for the
memes reference, since his creation is now sentient and whatnot, what would it's tracking be like, number wise if possible o-o?
Third, let's say the wind tornadoes do manage to keep up and surround me, then Serpent himself would be in danger. I move to to stop 6 meters to his right, and as mentioned before the wind wouldn't restrict my movement. So, with what was discussed in vms, the wind tornadoes would cover short range thiccness and mid range height. If the tornadoes are meant to surround me, then they are a certain distance away from me, otherwise they would clash into eachother. That distance, as long as it is more than a meter, would place Serpent in it's radius, and considering the size, with the fact that they surround and must space out to persist, lead me to believe that he would suffer the full force of his own technique.
As for the last vm, the bolds are my response
As for the mention of the flashbomb needing to have it's own t/f, it's part of the techniques usage, not some random freeform movement. "
The user will throw flash bombs behind themselves to not only blind the enemy but to also extend the range of his shadow indefinitely. The user can put any part of their body infront of the light and it will appear as an enormous shadow. Once the shadow is ready, he can constrict any enemy easily just by closing his hands."
As for this
Absorbing NE happens as I throw the flashbombs, and the movement of any body part is literally part of the techniques description, the handseals aren't needed, but it doesn't matter anyways due to Erebus, and as for creating the creature, I used a technique that allows that in the same timeframe? Like lmao I don't see where this abuse is coming from. If we're going to have different parts of the same techniques description start to factor into the timeframe like that then wew, lemme catch someone trying to unsheathe a sword before attacking z.z
