[X] Speed up your time while slowing down everything around you at the same time. Blitz him with a hundred Rabbit Peace strikes!
As Shirou finishes gathering power, you switch on your time powers. Instantly, two glowing clock outlines appear around you with you in the centre – a large silver one that encompasses the ring and the area around it and a smaller one on top of it right beneath you. With a stamp of your foot, you feel the passage of time distort and suddenly all you can hear is a deep low humming in the background as sound and everything else around you slows down to a crawl. Shirou is frozen even as visible crackles of electricity arc around his body.
Right then, time to give another tiger a beatdown. Your right hand instantly makes a peace sign and you charge towards the now defenceless tiger faunus. Sorry kid but you're not gonna pull your punches.
However, as you swing your hand down to deliver the first of many RabbitBitchslap Peace Strikes , the unthinkable happens. Warning bells start to ring and you see Shirou leans back, letting your strike pass right over him. Immediately, you pull back and put some distance between you and the teenager. Or at least you try to. A shockingly fast kick shoots towards your side and you barely manage to block it with your arm. The impact sends painful vibrations through your arm but you endure. You look down at your opponent and see him moving as though time was still working as normal. However, the look on his face expresses much confusion and awe.
You don't waste time to knock the faunus back to give yourself some room to breathe. Shirou quickly steadies himself and gives you a perplexed look. He opens his mouth to say something but all you hear is a low deep rumbling.
That coupled with the lightning that seems to be fused with his body and you immediately understand what's going on. He's turned himself into lightning or at least something close to it somehow. If lightning moves at about a third of the speed of light then even under the effects of your time manipulation, he's able to move fast enough to be a threat. You can't hear what he's saying but you can read his lips.
"I didn't know you had time powers? Cool. Let's see how long you can keep it up?" As soon as his mouth stops moving and settles into a grin, he runs towards you, lightning sparking across his body threatening to electrocute you. You aren't having any of that.
Your body is strong and, hastened by your powers, your healing factor will quickly take care of any damage so with that in mind you answer his charge with your own.
What follows is a blisteringly fast exchange of punches, kicks and whatever body part you can slam into each other. He's fast, having somehow also quickened his mental speed along with his body. He's not as fast as real lightning but that just means he's just fast enough to overcome the advantages that your powers should be giving you. Each blow you take is like being hit with a steel girder at high speeds but your own attacks are nothing to sneeze at as well.
Shirou's stronger than you but you're tougher than him. Dozen upon dozen of Rabbit Peace Attacks rains down on the boy while you feel your bones break and heal themselves over and over again. You can't image what the audience at seeing. Are they even capable of following along this lightning fast battle or is the only thing they can see is the trail of lightning that Shirou leaves behind as the two of you dance a dance of violence?
However, despite the stalemate, neither of you can keep this up forever. Your blows are doing damage, even as you feel yourself becoming numb as lightning courses through your body each time you come into contact with Shirou. Likewise, you're quite sure that Shirou is also feeling the pain if the dozens of bunny shaped bruises all over his body were any indicator.
The stalemate finally breaks when Shirou suddenly explodes into a goddamn miniature lightning storm right in your face. You can barely keep yourself from screaming in agonising electrified pain as horrific amount of electricity burns you from the inside out. A loud "Tock" echoes in your head and time returns to normal. You find yourself suddenly flung across the ring and sliding to a stop next to the shields. Smelling like burnt flesh and possible roasted rabbit, you manage to get yourself back onto one knee and look up to see the state of your opponent.
Shirou's lightning has died down and he's bleeding from several wounds all around his body. He wipes the blood dripping over his right eye and gives you a triumphant smirk. Right before he collapses to his knee as well. He's exhausted. That pseudo-lightning form must have taken a lot out of him. With the two of you in the same state, it looks like it could be anyone's win.
What do you do?
[ ] Admit defeat. You've met your match in a tiger faunus that could turn into pseudo-lightning. Against someone who could move like lightning, you were at a disadvantage. However, it was a fight between men and there are few things that are better than that. Stand tall with pride for you have lost to a worthy foe. Plus you're tired and you've got other stuff to do today.
[ ] Go for one last attack. You aren't done yet! You've still got enough juice in you for one final finishing move. It's all or nothing! Use up what strength remains and show him what a cornered rabbit with power of gravity and the earth can do.
[ ] Get back to feet. Using your powers is too risky in your immediate state. From what you've seen and extrapolated, Shirou is the kind of guy who'd wait for his opponent to get back onto his feet. You'll get a little more time to heal, a sliver of strength back and the chance to finish this like manly fight should end, with one last punch.
[ ] Draw him in close and play dead and when he thinks he'd won, sucker punch him. Not the most honourable tactic but in the Fighting Arena, anything goes. Plus it's not playing dirty, it's performing a feint, you think. You blame the pain for messing with your moral compass.

Cool update. Still, it seems attempting to out-speed a speedster ended badly. Who knew?
In any case, now that the DBZ-style skirmish has stopped, we have our chance:

This should work. It is an unbreakable shonen rule that each adversary has the right to stop and talk about the first thing he can think about in the middle of a fight, no matter the circumstances.

The time powers use was the only reason we kept up at all. Still think it was a good call.

We wouldn't have needed to keep up, if we had siphoned off his power with our earth powers.

?
The option for using earth powers was purely to block lightning with, then use time to try and get a hit in. It wouldn't have stopped him from accelerating himself or using his powers, only prevented the damage to us. We'd have been sitting ducks if we hadn't slowed down him AND sped ourselves up, his hits would have been fast and hard, it's doubtful we'd have been able to weather that storm. We certainly wouldn't have gotten a hit in, since doing both barely brought him down to "normal" speed.

If you were to read the first post for the battle:
What I suggested was to encase him in earth to both keep him in place and siphon off is power. Then we could use 8 times gravity to slam him through the ground.
The GM said we could only use one power set at FULL POWER. He never said anything about using two at HALF POWER. This way we wouldn't have to worry about him charging us, because he would be stopped by tons of earth. And even if he broke out, he would be met by the gravity around him crushing him, which would catch him off guard.

That's true on the power use, but given a) he's too fast to be caught by an earth enclosure, b) if caught he's strong enough to break out, and c) given he pretty much shrugged off x4 gravity it's doubtful x8 would have done enough, I personally don't think it would have worked.
But hey, that's just my opinion, GM knows best and I'm not sure how he'd write that out.

A) Yes he is fast, however he was still doing his Shonen power up, and from what we can tell, he wouldn't have attacked us while we were preparing an attack.
B) Even if he did break out, the earth would be slowly sapping his lightning powers, as since it is the most grounded object nearby besides him it would try to travel through it.
C) Even if he did break out, if we were fast enough, which we'd would most likely be given the fact that at least some of his power has been sapped by now, the ball of earth we encased him in would be beneath I don't know how much feet of earth from the 8 times gravity. By then, even if he did break out, he would be traveling beneath the earth's very surface, and since we can control that...game over.
