Excellent! We are now on the left which is, as everyone knows, the Player Character position in story-driven fighting games.
[X] The opponent is in range. [Stand Still], then [First slash].

Luckily, they seem to be hating our opponent just as much

I mean, trying to be fancy cost is a pretty cut and dry opportunity.
However the corpse is close behind us, worst comes to worst we can try to make our enemies positioning awkward by dashing behind it.

Lets just try to act simple, being fancy got us no where.

[X] Sweep the leg to unbalance it, the do the stabby stab stab.
Run 1-9? More like Trip 1-9.

Neither did using our known moves. We're 2/2 for fucking up.
Can't only stand still and slash; getting new moves is a high priority of mine.
Actually, custom moves is 1 up because kicking a thing at the enemy actually worked, and that wasn't a skill.

I agree that tripping worked, but 'dashing thrust' was trying to make custom knacks and skills for a new action which is not how it works if we did not get anything.
We will probably get new moves after this battle. I am not saying custom moves is bad, I am saying we were greedy by stringing them together. When the enemy was tripped was our time to be -reliable- and by not going for the reliable option, the 1 up from the previous custom move was lost. Back to square one.
But we cannot make new skills or knacks out of nothing, the tropping was a good role sure but also because it was an easy action, I am not so sure about riposting being easy. If you want to get custom, It would be better to use our environment more.
The fanciest move I can think off is a *gamble*. Let the Kikaiken hit us, gamble on the first guard and then strike. Something like.
[] Let it hit you, let first guard do its duty.
-[] Then use Standing First Strike, targeting its joints.
If we attack its arm, it will be harder for it to make attacks that bounce of ours.

Derm makes a compelling argument for a fun option.
[X] A true faceoff. He is sure to attack! [Stand Still], [Riposte], and turn his offence against him.

Wow. Don't post for ONE turn, and this is what happens. Can't say I'm surprised.

Honestly sounds waaaay too perfect.

*Our main most powerful skill later on it just kicking things really really hard*

I still say we need to feel our new instincts, and it is better to get a few insights before we spend whatever XP reward ("embers") we get from beating this thing. Oh well, I can repeat this idea when we are at risk of filling up all of our skill slots.

Combat:
Toree is now in combat. Your choices are to combine Knacks (left hexagons) with Skills (right hexagons) from the Knacks and Skills menu.
You can also choose to do something that isn't a set of a Knack and a Skill, though success of the action depends on succeeding an appropriate roll against a modifier of how difficult it is. Stepping to the side is easier than backflipping away 3 times in a row after all.
As a reminder, here are the currently revealed elements of the menu:
- Pronouns
- He/Him
[X] Once again, [Stand Still] and [First Slash]!
