Standing 5m from his opponent Hei will begin to analyse him. Having large build, his opponents body is awkwordly round with relatively thin limbs. He has a large mouth with several broken teeth and even a couple missing ones. A pronounced crooked nose and Long, thick, woolly black hair and a black beard tied into three braids. He surly was a character, but more he appeared to know combat. Holding his sword and tossing it from side to side, Hei gets a feel of the weight of the new weapon his was given for the bout. It standard blade with nothing unique or out of the ordinary about it he sheaths it and takes a battle stance.

"Well, shall we *couch* get started?"

Hei dashes forward, closing into hand to hand combat. Hei will jab with his left hand, aimed to his opponents head followed by another quick jab with his same hand. Not aimed to deal much damage but rather an attempt to force his opponent to rise their guard. Then, followed by another lower punch to the stomach with his right hand as Hei simultaneously grips his blade with his left and draws upwards, slashing from his opponents lower right side to their upper left. If successful this blade will cut clean across their torso.

Since you never clarified I'm assuming all of your arm strikes are done with the same arm.
As Hei moved in with his left jab, his opponent will begin to spear hand strike across himself. Keeping track of his movement Hei will alternate his jabbing arm and rotate it in a circle to deflect his opponents strike and simultaneously will spit into his opponents eyes, causing them to be blinded by Hei's saliva. This as he combos by sliding his right leg in between his opponents legs to move in closer and trusts his right shoulder into his opponents chest, pulling his right leg back to catch his opponents left leg as he should trusts him, causing him to lose balance as Hei then follows up with a powerful left punch to his torso causing Blackbeard to fall over to the ground.

As agreed via Discord, the maneuver with the arm I'm using being my right arm vs your left.
____________________________________________________________
As Blackbeard raised his right hand to strike, Hei's own left arm deviated from its path. Rather than moving forward for the jab, Hei diverted his arm to deflect Blackbeard's strike, spitting at him. Grossed out by Hei's cowardly maneuver, Blackbeard swiftly moved his head to the side, the spit narrowly missing him.

"You son of a-!"

The man left little window to breathe, bringing his body closer by sliding his foot forward for a shoulder thrust. As he did, Blackbeard used his closest foot to Hei's to intercept with a kick to his knee, striking Hei as he moved closer and before his shoulder thrust could connect with:

(Tsumazuki Tātoru) Stumbling Turtle
Rank: C
Type: Offensive
Range: Short
Chakra cost: N/A
Damage points: 30
Description: The user kicks the enemy in the knee, causing him to stumble in his movement and fall to the earth. If used with a chakra enhanced kick, the user can break the leg of the enemy with this.

As Hei stumbled, Blackbeard would charge forward slightly and, with the same leg as his previous kick, use:

(Konoha Daisenkō) - Leaf Great Flash
Rank: B

Range: Short
Charka cost: N/A
Damage points: 40
Description: Similar to Tsunade’s Sky leg but the user user charges at their opponent and unleashes a powerful lateral kick aiming at the head that will send their opponent flying away.

After Hei hits his opponents arm away from himself, deflecting Blackbeard's strike. He slides his foot closer, putting his right leg between Blackbeard's legs effectively placing him within his defense. Blackbeard will then attempt to kick Hei's leg however, seeing this movement Hei will push off the ground with his left leg, already being all up and personal with Blackbeard, this will lunge him directly into Blackbeard as he rises his right leg to knee Blackbeard in the stomach. His movement causing Blackbeard's kick to miss his leg as Hei rises his knee into his opponents gut. Then, with a downward elbow strike with Hei's right arm he will strike blackbeard in the head in attempts to knock him out. Hei will also draw his sword out with his left hand as he attacks.

Hei moved quickly, his leg shooting off the ground in an attempt to strike Blackbeard in the stomach as Blackbeard's kick missed. Blackbeard planted his feet firmly and immediately following the kick's miss and angled his left arm in a shape mimicking a praying mantis' upper legs and thrust his downwards-angled hand toward Hei's approaching right knee. The spring action of the thrust, alongside Blackbeard tilting his bodyweight into the arm to increase its force, allowed the Vampire to pierce his straightened fingers directly into Hei's thigh just above the knee.

Following through in the strike, Blackbeard would drive his body weight as he rotated his body. With his bodyweight already having been shifted towards his right by Hei's deflection before, Blackbeard added his own force as he fully extended his arm, rotating his body to send Hei flying off his feet and tearing through his flesh.

With Hei's body airborne, Blackbeard would follow up by sending him flying with:

Aight so

Now the wording here is weird I agree serpent but riker begins his strike after his kick misses your knee. Imo the feet planting part is semantics as it doesn't change the fact that Riker did the mantis strike as soon as his kick missed. As for the elbow part, the elbow happens after the knee strike I believe based on how you envisioned it.

So what im extrapolating now is that Riker with his fingers dug up into Serpents leg and using some kind of rotation maneuver to toss/flip him aside. Which would be a counter measure against the elbow. I say continue as is.

Being in such close proximity to his opponent as he rises from the ground in attempts to knee Blackbeard in the gut, Hei will see as Blackbeard moves his left arm to mimic a praying mantis'. Hei will then position his right arm in front of him and will strike forward just after Blackbeard struck down, pushing off of Blackbeard's left chest/shoulder area as he strikes down. Before his strike can make contact with Hei's knee. This will push Hei backwards off of Blackbeard, whom is firmly on the ground and cause his downward strike to miss.

As agreed on Discord, I place my foot on the ground at the same time I position my hand, just about the same time you would also position your hand for the palm thrust; your strike forward happens as I perform my thrust toward your leg and my feet are planted.
_____________________________________________________________
Blackbeard took note of Hei's arm as he rose it into position for the thrust. His fingers outstretched, exposing the palm, the Sage deduced that his opponent must have been going for a palm strike. Tracking Hei's arm as it moved through the air toward its target, Blackbeard quickly side-hopped to his left, turning his body 90 degrees clockwise as he did so. He leaned his upper body back slightly as well. The movement put him towards Hei's right side and, alongside the lean, out of the path of his forward palm.

Keeping his eye on Hei as he moved, at the same time as the dodge, Blackbeard would alter the direction of his thrust. Rather than continue it toward Hei's knee, he instead swung his arm upwards, using the Mantis form and the momentum to instead cleave directly through Hei's arm a few inches below his wrist as it missed.

As Hei aimed to strike true, his opponent hopped to the side. Hei, turning his body along with Blackbeards hop to remain facing him as Blackbeard altered his strike upward. With his extending right arm clearly being the target of his strikes alteration, Hei will preform a complex defensive form. Rotating his right arm in a circular movement left around Blackbeards strike as it rises and continuing the rotation up to hit and deflect Blackbeards left arm by knocking his forearm outward to his upper left side; This as Hei lands back on the ground.

Description: The user utilizes a large extent of their physical capabilities to swing their sword in a single large arc, which occurs with such ferocious velocity that the technique can be employed in situations where only a very limited time to react is available. The swing can be used to counter attacks from multiple opponents simultaneously. The technique receives its name due to the entire movement being reminiscent of a crescent moon.

Lemme get this straight. I jump first...then you jump, land, deflect my blow, and draw your sword to slice me before I land? You're out of your mind.

Hei brought his arm back around, completing the circle in an attempt to deflect Blackbeard's arm. The Sage sneered and quickly altered the movement of the arm being targeted by Hei. Blackbeard instead jerked his arm backward toward his body just as Hei's deflection was about to make contact, hooking Hei's arm as he did so. The maneuver would result in Hei's arm being caught between the side of Blackbeard's torso and his forearm, securing Hei in place.

At the same time, Blackbeard would crush Hei's windpipe by using his other hand to strike him with:

I'm not sure what you're on about so lets clear it up. Edit: Confusion cleared up on discord. When you look at the moves that have happened, Hei leaped up to knee Blackbeard, then palm thrust to try and push off Blackbeard while Hei is still in the air, then Hei aimed to deflect his arm as I lands. You only just jumped as I palm thrust so I would land before you.

We still needed to talk about a couple issues I had but I'll just outline them here since times almost up for our fight. I don't see how pulling your arm back to hook my arm would prevent my arm from hitting you. It would still be in the path to be hit by my arm lol. IMO your arm would still be hit and you would take another 30 damage. Taking your total down to 40HP since I already hit you with Defensive Crane earlier. Also, you're in the air so you would be pulling yourself to me, not the other way around since i'm on the ground.


Blackbeard will pull his arm into himself, while 'hooking' Hei's arm in attempts to pull them closer together while at the same time aim to strike with his right arm. As Blackbeard begins pulling his arm back into himself, Hei will pivot sideways to his left and lean away from Blackbeard as he extends his right leg outward to kick Blackbeards torso. This will serve to not only strike Blackbeard but also preventing him from getting closer together using the extended leg to hold Blackbeard from fully pulling his arm in while hooked to Hei's arm, keeping him at a distance and not allowing his other arm from striking Hei's neck.

(Kikku) Kick
Type: Offensive
Rank: D
Range: Short
Chakra: N/A
Damage: 20
Description: One of the simplest moves in Taijutsu, the user will simply hit the opponent with a kick from one of his legs. He is free to choose simple variations of the kick and the stronger he is, the more dangerous the technique is.
Hei will then use his right arm to grab Blackbeards left arm that it is hooked to, keeping a tight hold, and lowering his leg that is wedged in Blackbeard's gut to Slam Blackbeard to the ground. Then, pulling out his sword with his left arm Hei will rurn to aim forward and down to slice into Blackbeard's torso to deal a finishing blow.

( Kumo-Ryū Omotegiri ) - Cloud-Style Front Beheading
Type: Offensive
Rank: C

Damage: 30
Description: The user slashes forwards in front of them with their sword to strike the enemy target.

When you're moving your arm to deflect mine, I alter the direction of my arm to negate the force of your defensive crane and yank your arm to me, so no. I use my upper body strength to do this, my legs aren't involved, so me being slightly off of the ground doesn't affect this at all.

As you clarified on Discord, you're airborne from the rising knee maneuver from before. You don't land until the deflection is complete. By the time I'm hooking your arm, you wouldn't be on the ground yet either, not until the hooking is done. The first maneuver in your move wouldn't work at all btw, if your arm is hooked you wouldn't be able to lean back far enough for my punches not to reach.

As Hei leaned his body and raised his leg to deliver a counterkick, Blackbeard sharply inhaled through his nose. With his breath under control to maximize his strength, he would forego the throat punches, diverting his free hand to instead intercept Hei's kick before it landed and break the bones by rapidly striking his rising leg with:

Not gonna lie, for all the hype and talk surrounding this fight, I was disappointed. Most of the moves were just okay at best and some descriptions left more to the imagination that I wished was rhere; in a Tai fight, you shouldnt have to be thoroughly explaining how each muscle works to add your momentum and force onto your lower left leg to deliver a kick from a 45.3° angle but you should definitely explain which limb, where the attack goes and the intent behind it. Up until the first check, I saw no real issues here. Both sides were pretty balanced and no one took an edge over the other yet, at least in my opinion.

After that check by Daemon, the timeframe just becomes increasingly thinner each post. Serpent counters the incoming mantis strike by using a palm strike to hit Riker chest first ( I'm not sure if this happens as described also. With the mantis strike requiring an arm to be bent and the crumbling palm uses an extended arm and with little room between the two, it can be debated if the palm will land before the other does or if both land at the same time ). Riker, now airborne after Serpent's diving knee, immediately follows up with arcing to the left and delivering the mantis strike. Serpent then turns with riker to use defensive crane's Wing Chun like movements to deflect the attack and used a Kenjutsu strike to hit Riker's torso. All of this while both are airborne and within a meter of each other. Idk how slow you guys think time is moving but these sequences are very questionable in such rapid succession that im almost sure these are Near timeframe breaches and stretches it to a point you're squeezing a sequence of 4 actions in before you land from a jump.

The next two moves are more confusing, but neither performed better than the other here imo. I feel like Riker did slightly better here overall. Riker advances to the next round why the skin of his teeth. Btw, that's a weird ass saying, I don't get why it's used so much. Skin of teeth. What does that even mean??

To point out something Serpent stated in regards to Defensive Crane. Defensive Crane only deals damage if you do the accompanying strike at the end like the last statement stated. If the strike isn't done at the end, it simply deflects the attack.
