Aight I have some questions.
Chakra absorption are mainly not allowed but what if I take it off a canon jutsu like grudge rain for example, would it work?
Yes, as long as its basic chakra absorption. As far as I know, only Dante is against chakra absorption. Scorps allows it if its not advanced absorption. The rest seem to allow it.
What is your personal opinion on dormant techniques, stuff that stay hidden for a while, and then are triggered by hand seals or over time? Are they worth it?
I like dormant techniques, as long as I don't have to initiate them. I have a genjutsu ready to submit which triggers whatever you touch (matter or energy).
Are kenjutsu and Taijutsu worth making as customs? Especially in today's age?
Rarely. Unless its something like Scorps' roll or flip, I don't see any reason to make them.
How would you approach making a custom summoning animal (not contract but the animal)? Should the abilities be generic or should you really attempt to make them special. Also which is best in summoning animals, quality of animals or quantity??
Always try to make them special. Everyone who's tried this has an amazing contract (Lili, Scaze, etc). Quality.
CJ are nice, I tend to tell people however to master canon jutsus before moving onto them, would you agree to this? Or should people (like me for example) just stay focusing on making CJs? Especially since the NW and most tournies thrive off of cj usages.
Always master canons first before submitting (unless its to patent a contract). Learn to make CJs in advance. The quality of your CJs will be higher and you won't have any wasted slots. The question is, can you improve at making Cjs without submitting them? Perhaps, perhaps not. Maybe read the submissions and checks would help. Either that or find a teacher like me xD
When it comes to describing a jutsu, what is the general temp you use? What I mean is for example, when I describe a lightning jutsu. I try to describe its looks, sound, feel, etc. How much emphasize should I place on describing the jutsus themselves at a standpoint? I think me and Lovu talked about it a while ago, where you should try not to delve too much into it and focus mainly on describing its abilities. Agree?
I think Lili once told someone to leave techniques undefined on a certain level to make them as versatile as possible. I simply clarify anything that could be questioned. Checkers generally question things that could have bearing on a fight e.g. can the CJ be used this way? I myself don't really clarify looks, sound, etc unless they are important to how the CJ can be countered.
What is better, a wallie cj or a smaller written CJ? Again something me and Lovu discussed, where wallie CJs mean the checker is able to find more things wrong with a technique since you write more and smaller cjs are less open but they can easily be abused as well. I try to add as much detail as possible myself, is there a limit to stuff like that?
Wallie CJ tend to be more versatile but you're right, there's more they can pick out. If you're confident in your CJ making skills, you can make wallies. If not, I advise otherwise.
CW, something I always liked to have. Can I have dual CW like two spears?
Yep. As long as they have to be wielded together and don't have too many abilities so that ti doesn't qualify as two separate CWs.
What would you consider a basic template in writing a CW? Use a spear or sword for example.
Other than the provided template? I'd say the description of the CW. Separate from that, the abilites (I recommend 3-4, like 6 if you're Scaze, 13 if you're Lili xD)
If you have an idea for a CFS, should you try it off for a CJ first before submitting it into a CFS? Knowing that way you don't waste slots, but there could be a potential it can be worth a cfs with many cjs, which route would you take?
Depends how much you value your CFS slots. My CFS could have been made into one CJ but making a CFS allows me to explore it so much more. If its a simple CFS, make it a CJ. If not, make it a CFS.
Are elemental combination CJs worth making anymore? Since they take up 2/3 slots and slow to make.
They don't always take 2 slots. Lili's techniques don't. Venom's recent one didn't. Depends if you opt to take that route. Always try without and only put it there if they tell you to.
These are the questions I got now <_<
