If she sees us using supernatural powers, I could see it inspire her to go look for supernatural martial arts of her own, giving us a love interest rival who increases in power like us. Sort of like Kuwabara from Yu Yu Hakusho or Ai Mori from Law of Ueki or Umemiya Ryunosuke from Shaman King.

Man my anime references are dated. :grin:

[X] No need for the Mountain. Fight her with your own abilities. You're confident you can win this.

Fight her human to human with human based skills.

The only real sparring type of moveset that we have is mma which is only at 5.

Street fighting doesn't seem good for friendly sparring. Seems more useful for multiple enemies or to take down a very dangerous enemy with everything at our disposal.

We need to train another style like brawling.

I'm guessing if we us our supernatural style it'll be halved to 15-18 with mma's +5 add with a full skill check of 20-23.

Can you hear that? It sounds like words...

Rival? Waifu? Both maybe.

As for how much escalating we gotta do...
Well, the ability that can be used as an sparring tool is at 5...
So, let's scale a bot with Unyielding Mountain to at least make it interesting.

Seriously, this gal screams "experienced brawler and street fighter" so there's an actual good chance of getting our asses handed to us.

Also, Nervous Yamato. Gotta headpat him.

I don't doubt that if she sees us using Mystical Martial Arts, she'll go looking for some of her own. And when she finds it, that she'll come back for a rematch.

Sometimes you just gotta punch a lot. More seriously, it's fine to lose. Hell, as a protagonist adjacent character, it's better for us to lose. That's what compels a rematch arc with growth attached to it. Also, Street Fighting applies when we fought Yanagi, it'll apply here. Let's just have some fun with some no stakes fisticuffs, no magic necessary.
 
...bah, screw it. Changing vote.

To the point where you don't even notice Yameko wrapping one of her tails around your shoulders until after Yato says something about it. Even then you don't move because you're too focused on your inner peace.
He truly has achieved an inner peace, able to ignore the fluffy tail.
You start to see the benefit of letting the blow "slide" off your skin rather than take it head on and take more damage.
Thorfinn style of fighting.
You'll need to figure out a new way to train your physical resistance, but you have at least learned the technique. Should be able to take a punch better than ever.
Interesting.
By the time you're done you understand what motivates both the less fortunate and the prosperous. And you've started on gauging why people lie to each other.
It also seemed to help Yamato. When it came to answering the dilemmas, he'd always default to some logical probability or easily rationalized reason behind them. While this meant he had a higher chance of being right, he wasn't able to account for every possible reason under the sun...especially the irrational ones. Through explaining those you ended up furthering his understanding of why people do irrational things.
Very useful to have, for both of us.
Or they're stuck in their rooms doing...whatever the children of rich people do in their off time.
Swim in their money, of course. :V
And judging by how she kept sighing, checking her nails, and shooting glares at Yunagi, she was not happy to be there. In fact, you'd hazard she got brought here while doing something important to her. Wonder how he got her to come here then? Does she go to this school too? Cause if so, why can she walk around with nothing but bandages around her chest, but you get crap for undoing a few buttons?
This, Hayato, is what we call a delinquent.
[Bond: Blood Ties]

But...somehow...you knew he was bluffing.

Well not entirely.

He would leak the information if Yunagi didn't listen. You've known him long enough to know he's not lying about that.

But it's a no-brainer that taking down Mondo Circuits won't only hurt Yunagi. A bunch of people who have nothing to do with this will lose their only way to make a living. Anyone who knew that and still went ahead with giving the information to a company rival was someone with no empathy whatsoever.

And that's what Yamato's trying to get Yunagi to believe. That he doesn't care about the collateral damage.
Our bro is a good guy.
[Yamato Empathy Check: Motives: 24/30: Fail!]
Damn.
[Empathy Check: Motives: 30/30: Success!: +20XP!]
Nice. Really lucky we decided to train it now.
#s > 50 bring in characters that would be more friendly to you guys. Since you got a 72, you got his sister who happens to be a combat junky.

And yes, she's a social link for you guys.
I am absolutely surprised.
Unless she starts kicking our ass and getting bored. Then escalate I guess to provide a good fight.
That is the '[] Use your own abilities for a bit. Switch to the Mountain if you have to. Be adaptive and ready for anything.' -vote. You're voting for not escalating in case she starts kicking our ass.

Unless she actually knows about the supernatural, she'd have no way of knowing we're using a mystical martial art, especially at our level.
The only real sparring type of moveset that we have is mma which is only at 5.

Street fighting works for sparring. It is an all goes style, your entire body and everything around you is a weapon. Roughly it is a less refined and dirtier version of what MMA is meant to be. Just like with any martial art, you can use it in a way not meant to actually harm your opponent, and in this world every fighting style is a martial art.

I'm fine with either, but I want our special martial art to be on the table
 
Hey man its no prob, life is life. But since you're here I wanna ask, if we get a resistance skill to 50+ which brings our cap of UMT to 75, then we train UMT with Yato how would that be handled? Considering that the UMT becomes a normal skill instead of a bonus skill after 50.

Unless the fact that we and Yato have Martial Arts as a class skill counter acts this. Like are you gonna break it down day by day? To cut it off after a certain point?

To clarify, if we decide to go with our brother to the chess club's outing this weekend, will it use all our weekend actions, thus making us unable to deal with Hiroko?

It'd be considered as if you both have a Normal Skill.

Why?

Cause after that point, BOTH of you are learning something new. Yato doesn't know the full style. You'd need an actual Grandmaster to learn the full thing, aka get to 100.

It will use Two Actions, as it's considered an Event.
