Read it for the like...10th time or so. Didn't think it was yours mainly because I can see about...hum...5 (mininum) cannon ways to defeat you even if you use them to their fullest extent...and this is not counting Custom ways. Because of that, I don't find it unreasonable or overpowered even if the end result is powerfull.
As for the issue of revoking things from the users, its not done lightly. It was approved at some point meaning that in that point it fullfilled every single logic reasoning that was needed in order to approve a technique. It that time, it made sense. Its very very complicated to take something away from a member when its already a mayhem of moaning and arguments when we simply decline a CJ. It has been done before but only in extreme cases. Its not something we take lightly or do on a whim. Example: Dante.. tried to upgrade his Rebellion CW. At this point in time that CW would never be approved. If i was to check it, I'd need to do it like i would do to any other CW in the base. And doing so, he'd end with a weaker CW. Instead i checked it with "don't try and update it because you'll need to drop things and make it weaker to be approved now than it was back then". I could have simply declined it...forever. But i also understand that once approved its approved. It shouldnt be taken down on a whim. The RP evolves, yes, but we shouldn't be to hasty or too harsh on such matters.
However Zero, what you should be complaining about should be the basic knowledge of the RPears and not the oped techniques. I've been checking the fights of the tournament as you all know and have seen people who have mastered everything (some are senpais, senseis, former ones, etc) do the most ridiculous, illogical, weird moves or assumptions that its painfull to read. Some don't even know how to use their own customs or the customs they get acess to. The problem of the RP isn't the oped techniques imo as most members have access to one or two powerfull techniques. The problem is that most supposedly top notch role players don't know how to play.
Still, I follow his logic. Things like that get ridiculously overpowered, extremely quickly. At my peak, I'm immune to all Nin and Genjutsu, and some Tai and Kenjutsu. The only thing I'm really effected by is Freeform and Poisons.
I don't like genjutsu myself, never have, just like jiraiya. Especially ones that take control of your body. I know you can't use kai because of how it's classed but couldn't you make a variation of it? Just for samurai users? Like you've made variations to counter elements xd
So you want to fight someone who uses gen as their speciality, but you want to moan that you can't break out of gen? That doesn't make sense to me xd
But, again, that leads the Samurai to being forced to rely on customs...which is why this thread was started.
xd I don't intend to make sense, that's just how I feel about the issue. All I'm saying, is that we (the Ken user and the Gen user) should be able to fight fairly,
if they wanted to.
but that is balance Keotsu. Your speed, close combat flexibility, reflexes, physical strength, etc comes at a price. Your samurai bio comes with a drawback as anything in the RP. You are vulnerable to Gen and Elemental Ninjutsu. Same as my Hashirama is vulnerable towards Lava and Lightning or my Hyuuga against elemental KGs and EIG users. Every type of bio has a drawback. For me your samurai being vulnerable to gen comes at the price of being a samurai. Its part of your bio. Its part of your vulnerability. And paralyzing type genjutsu aren't unbreakable even if you can't move or can't use ninjutsu. But that i'll keep to myself. Also, Kai is part Genjutsu part Ninjutsu although its in the Genjutsu section.
True that may be, but playing as a Samurai has more cons than positives, though, admittedly, that's a hardship we chose to put ourselves through. In comparison, say Sannin v Sannin, a Samurai versus a Shinobi, the Samurai has no perks. The Shinobi is just as fast, just as strong, has as good reflexes as the Samurai, and has access to all the same techniques, bar about five cannon techniques.
As far as the RP is concerned, Samurai are Shinobi stripped of their Ninjutsu and Genjutsu capability, with nothing to balance that out.
And as for the Gen, I know their are ways; i.e. since Genjutsu doesn't
stop chakra flow, the Samurai Sabre Technique can be used to damage yourself by forming a dangerous shape. And that only reinforces the fact that Samurai can't use it.
I admit, there are lots of things in my opinion that don't make much sense, or are wrong..but, at the same time, I know I'm making
some good points.

Ah, I think we've digressed from the thread's main topic...
