Talk:Koma Inu Tournament Round Two: Aiden vs Stewart/@comment-26595384-20160118193432

Man, this was probably my favorite fight so far! It was very well written and used a great combination of magic and physical attacks! The character development in this story, especially on Stewart's side, kept me very interested as well.

So for who won the fight... I am going to have to agree with you guys and say that Aiden won this in the end. Aiden was able to combat Stewart on the physical level and mostly match him punch for punch. When magic began to come into play, the mine field seemed to give Aiden a great advantage and force Stewart to use spells that ate away at his magic energy. Aiden quickly caught onto the Ghost Punches and used his magic to defend against them, but not to the point where it was unrealistic. I honestly thought the match was going to go the other way, but then Aiden used the First Awakening: Remedy to recover from a lot of the damage he just received. (Which I have to say that my nerd heart soars at the science behind your first awaking attacks). The final Ikazuchi attack seemed to be the knockout punch that turned the tides and sent Stewart flying into more mines as well as slamming against a wall. I feel that Aiden would have a few more good hits left in him, but his overall strategic usage of spells secured him this victory.

That being said, I think Stewart was amazing and put up a tremendous fight that could have easily won him the match. His development has improved greatly and I thought his use of physical attacks and defenses were able to force both of you to rely more on your magic, which is incredible considering that both mages rely on physical attacks. His magic was used very well in amplifying his overall mastery in hand-to-hand, and he was even able to heal some injuries he sustained. I thought Stewart handled the unexpected mine field nicely by activating his Gale Eye and Artic Dragon Slayer Magic. The ending melee with the artic tornado was amazing! I thought that the combination of devastating strikes against the barrier was well written and allowed Stewart to show off his ferocity and skill that he has obtained. Although it was countered,  and he later passed out from its use, I thought it was a true display of how far he has come with the slayer magic.

Great job to both of you!
