Talk:Koma Inu Tournament Round One: Rayden versus Si/@comment-26595384-20160113162215

I must say that this was a very difficult match to call... But after reading it a few times, I have decided that the winner would be Rayden. Here is my reasoning: First off I will say, I am not a huge fan of all the teleporting going on in this match...I personally feel that teleporting is an easy way to say someone just magically avoided the attack. (haha you see the pun right there?). Also given Rayden's young age, I feel he would not be as proficient in being able to shift his body into light particles to avoid some of the close range attacks that Si was able to fire off. But it did seem as if you were beginning to take that into account during the end of the fight. I do admire how Si thought of the defense of putting a spatial zone around them to prevent Rayden from teleporting, but it actually backfired and gave Rayden a major recharge as he is a God Slayer who can consume both light and lightning. This means that he would have been charged up and ready to go for a far greater time than Si was, who had already used up a good deal of magic without replacement.

As far as attacks landed, I feel as if it was a wash. You both landed two minor attacks, and managed to block each others larger spells. Side note to both of you though, although I am unsure of if you communicated this with one another prior to their use, you both used spells that were not on your character pages. I feel this to be unfair to you opponent as you could just pull out a random spell with incredible power because nothing is listed. (technically Rayden only has 3 spells for god slayer, and Si has no spells for sword magic or requip)

I feel that when it comes down to it though, the deciding factor comes down to the type match up. Rayden is electricity, while Si is a machine. Yes I agree with your posts that Si's body would be able to take the minor shocks from Rayden's sword; but with one hit of his god slayer lightning, or perhaps a few more strikes from his sword, Si's system would be overloaded and the circuts would fry. Although mostly avoided, at the expense of a great deal of magic, Si may manage to avoid the electricity until she runs out of magic; while Rayden, with the replenished energy, would be able to fire off a god slayer attack that would be able to hit at one point and thus end the match. A great job by both of you and I am excited to see your characters grow. Perhaps one day this could be a rematch?? It would definitely be an interesting one.
