[X] ...roll with it. Okay, let's see how
thisturns out. When did
this happen, and why were you not informed?
[X] Business as usual. This is awkward. People are blushing. Sophie is
obviously crushing. Ready the cannons, because you've got yourself some
ammunition to spend. Tease everybody present! Tease them right this instant!
Guys, I think I want, next turn, to start studying the different styles so we can make our own style: A Pacifist Style.
You know, one that focuses on dodges, holds, baiting out wasteful attacks to exhaust the opponent faster than you'll be exhausted, ecetera.
I figure we'll need a good grounding in most of the styles to make a pacifist runner style that's really worth anything. I want to start with Roshi, then Krillin and Tenshinhan, then Yamcha, then Goku and Vegeta, then Piccolo and Gohan, then Future Trunks.
Yes, I want us to learn all the styles so that we can make a really good and useful pacifist style.
Ok, let me see if I get this right. Roshi is a good place to start, his style is not really good in a real fight but is a good basis to build up the hand to hand aspect, which would be key for when we learn ki blocking and, since it doesn't use ki techniques, can be taught to humans without breaking the masquerade. Krillin style focus on useful techniques like flight and solar flare, ki control which is something we are good at, the kamehameha which is our best technique and team figthing which we could improve. Tien to cover for weaknesses in style and because it has very good sinergy with Krillin; it also improves solar flare AND it favors multiform, which not only increases our yearly actions but would benefit from team fighting. Yamcha for attrition since you don't want to hurt your opponents and because the flurry of strikes might help ki blocking. Goku and Vegeta for the other two hand to hand styles since Krillin uses team fighting and because they are the close/long range focused options. Then the others to learn them all with Trunks being last because of its penalties.
To be honest, I am not so sure this is a good plan. The more styles we know, the better we can cover our weaknesses, true, but there is something about trying to cover too much ground.
Yamcha style doesn't seem to contribute much save for the flurry of strikes which is covered by Roshi. True, it helps flight (what's up with the by the way? It is a crane style technique and Tien's doesn't improve it) but that is it. Demon style is a better all rounder than crane since it does offer bonus but Piccolo's techniques were downright brutal. Makakensappo is a killing technique, Hellzone grenade is a killing technique and Masenko is two ki blasts one after the other so that the second hits after the guy dodged. Gohan style doesn't offer that much either if you learn the others and so does Trunk's. While Vegeta would close a long range weakness in the others and help us in crowd fighting which is likely something we will have to deal with, pacifist would make it hard to learn.
Not to mention that there is nothing about figuring Jaffur's style.
I think that it is good enough up to Tienshinhan's style but I would make a note about learning Jaffur's along with Krillin. They both rely in ki control but the personalities of their creators are different enough that they should cover each other's weaknesses and Jaffur did show some leanings to long range attacks that would eliminate the need of Vegeta Style save for the crowd fighting bit, which we can train separately with Tienshinhan style.
After those four, we should master Goku style and call it a day/ make our own. Because while it is heavily offensive and it goes for solo fights, it does have certain advantages. It is our house style and we are expected to master it, it uses IT which we also rely on. However, it also ties with one ambition of mine for Kakara.
Think about this. We are a ser. We have already gone to the otherworld. IF we can learn how to do it and travel around it... forget about fusión, about SS2 and about SS4.
We could learn the spirit bomb. We live in a world with thousands upon thousands of saiyans with power level in the millions. Two thousand of them give us power? We oneshot and ascended super saiyan. Four thousand? We hit a level 2 and we kill it. All of them? The one that killed kid Buu will look
tiny in comparison. Furthermore, we would be the Scion to rediscover a lost technique and complete the style.
Furthermore, if we discover a way to take that power... well, among thousands, there should be at least five righteous saiyans, right?
