Talk:Koma Inu Tournament Round Two: Dakota versus Niklas/@comment-26595384-20160118204115

Oi...this battle was a whirlwind of attacks, so much so, that I didn't even know what was going on half the time and I got very confused... It seemed as if each of you was just trying to win by sheer number of attacks, rather than calculated striking points. Having 20 beings out on the field just leads to confusion in your story and an overall magic drain on your characters.

So reviewing this fight is really difficult, due to the choas. But overall I will have to give this round to Dakota. Disregarding the fact that she somehow has the ability to control 12 different creations,  her one-on-one attacks on Niklas showed great mastery over her element, as well as a variety of omni-directional staggered attacks which are difficult to avoid. The ice floor gave her the advantage from the get go, and she managed to trap Niklas a few times, even with the help of his spirits.

Niklas put up a good fight, but for a bear magic user, it seems like he relied more on his celestial spirits. This brings up another point, that applied to both mages. I am unsure if Niklas would have the magic abilities to have 3 gates open at once as well as 3 clones. It requires a great deal of mastery and is referred to as a "forbidden technique". Niklas did seem to hold off a great deal of Dakota's attacks by using his staff and his teddy bear shots. I would have liked to see more use out of the embodiment, but I know that is still being developed.

Like I said, this chaos within the story was very hard to review and so I stuck with what was clear to me from your character attacks. Both of you did a great job though!
