Re: Battle training with LoK
No need for RP, it'll just be icky.
Anyway, this is the first time I've ever done battle training or anything close to it, I believe so I'm not exactly sure how this should go. Either way, it'll be a learning experience for us both I guess...anyway, I suppose we need a starting point. Tell me about your fighting style and how you generally fight in battle. I'll go first to give you an example.
I'm first and foremost a close range fighter, though I still enjoy Mid range battling as it's the customary form of fighting these days and most fights rarely leave mid range. By being a close range fighter, I excel in hand to hand combat, a main part of my battling style. I often try to find ways to enter close range in battles, such as using jutsu that attack the enemy from behind to prevent them from retreating backwards, and generally always keeping a forward movement in fights, even if walking to gradually close the distance. In addition to being a Close Range Fighter, I am what I call an "adapter", meaning that although I have a specific list of favored elements, I generally adapt to the bios I choose to RP with as to what I am going to use. For example, I love Water jutsu greatly, as well as Earth behind it. However, my Madara bio is a Fire specialist, and in order to be more like him, I adapted my style to include prominent use of Fire jutsu and Wind as well, despite these being my two least favorite elements (I actually prefer basic ninjutsu over fire release).
Most of my attack methods rely on brute strength instead of strategy, something I can acknowledge. As you probably know, I like to use more overpowering methods of battling, whether it be due to large speed boosts or through outrageous boosts to elemental attacks. While I tend to use these methods, I'm still able to form decent strategies, although these strategies often times are based on overpowering methods.
By being a close range fighter, I'm able to severely cut down the damage an opponent can cause to me by interrupting their opportunities to use Ninjutsu most times by using taijutsu to attack them before they can mold this chakra, though of course nowadays, everyone has at least one jutsu that requires no handseals and allows them to attack one as they use taijutsu, one of the main drawbacks of being a close range fighter. The other drawback is of course, the range. It's often times not easy to enter close range when one is known to be a close range fighter, which sometimes makes the game funner for me, trying to force them into taijutsu fights. By increasing the distance between us, they severely limit my taijutsu arsenal in the process and forcing me to rely on Mid range to long range attacks.
Mid range is fun because it's a mix of long range fighting as well as closer ranged attacks. Attacks take a bit more time to reach them than short range but still quicker than long range. For mid range attacks, I prefer Wind and Lightning jutsus as they are both very fast and travel quickly. In addition to this, using them one after the other is a good combo though you also have to be cautious at times, due to the possibility of them using Fire to counter the wind and in case of certain jutsus, the lightning and fire passing through one another. Mid range is also ideal for starting plans and setting traps, which is what I prefer to use Earth release for. Due to all fights, or most anyway, taking place on earth, we're able to use that ground for good traps, though most only use it for the Swamp jutsu. Earth is good for containing your foe and preventing them form moving much, and if combo'd with Wind jutsu, you limit their chance for defeating the earth as they would have less time to counter the incoming wind which is strong to the lightning. I prefer to use fast acting earth jutsus to injure the legs of the opponent, slowing them and preventing movement much, the D rank Earth pillars is great for this as well as several other C rank earth jutsus.
Long range, i don't favor for many reasons. For one, it limits my range of attacking with my preferred means, Taijutsu and other close range attacks. For 2, it also prevents the usage of most (if not all) Genjutsus, which we can talk more about later if needed. And 3, it's generally used for Defense, giving one time to device a good plan and method of attacking, though I do not recommend using Long range for projectile style attacks, due to the long time it will take to reach one. For me, Long range is best for using jutsus that cause widespread damage that you could potentially harm yourself in, such as Mountain Smash or the S rank Fireball Shower jutsu. I'd only use it to regroup and give myself a better chance to get on the offensive, and begin to close the distance as soon as possible.
Er....Idk what else to talk about until you write about your own style, and be thorough as it will help you understand more about yourself as well.
