Haven't I already told you to not use Sword Strike against Rushes? Well, you've also been unlucky, and so did the others.

Oh, and about the lack of [convenient "I cast Heal!"]? Yeah, I haven't lied: Makai methods hurt like a bitch and requires a Stamina Check to get up.

Well shit. And here I thought people would actually check that the actions they were voting for were going to work while I was busy with Zelda :facepalm:

    -[X] Reed in the wind, sword strike, hilt strike, sword strike, Block, Sword strike

    I must not let the Horrors catch me unaware again, so I concentrate on their more minute movements. Time seems to slow down as they move: in the last moment before contact I bend my body around the blows, a sure strike turning into a narrow miss as I move into their blind spot. Or so I thought was their blind spot, since I barely have time to swing my sword once before all three Horrors tackle me. The pain is almost too much to bear, and it's only the Knight training that prevent my bones from snapping like twigs.

    'Tetsuya!' Mikazuki screams.

    'I'm alright! Well, mostly!' When the Horrors stand up after putting me to the ground I roll to the side and stand up before slamming the hilt of my sword into the face of the first Horror, breaking bones and rupturing an eye.

    "Fuck!" The Horror growls before rushing at me. I barely have time to raise my sword and let it impale itself on the blade. Unfortunately its last blow before dying hits my head, and while I'm disoriented the other two Horrors pummel me with blows. Between the pain and my jumbled thoughts I almost lose consciousness-

    When I see a flash of white jumps in front of me while a pair of arms hold me before lowering my body to the ground. "Sorry, this will hurt!" I hear Rokuro's voice and see...a Madou Brush alight with Madou Flames?

    Oh God.

    Rokuro jams the brush into my wounds.

    "Aaagh!" I scream as I experience something very similar to cauterization. Healing is a complex art, something that shouldn't be rushed. But when you do need to rush it...well, the results aren't pretty.

    "Not even half of them and we're already a mess! Can things get worse?"

    "Ichiko-san, do you know a spell that can help us?"

    "...Yes. But me and Rokuro will be unable to fight while we prepare. You'll have to cover both us and Kurogane!"

    "Start immediately!"

    'Tetsuya! You have to get up!'

    What goes through Tetsuya's mind at the moment?

    • [X] That he can't let something like this beat him if he's going to live up to Garo's example. He must stand strong.

    I think this might work.

    [X] Sword Strike, Sword Strike on Horror 2, Grapple on Horror 1, Block, Rush, Sword Strike on Horror 3

    Horror 2 doing Rushes is a little tricky, but if we do Sword Strike on it that should kill it since it has 6 Health left. We need to worry about clashing with the other two though.

    After that a Grapple on action 3 will kill Horror 1.

    Then a Block to hopefully recover any Health we might lose, and then I just went with a Rush and Sword Strike on Horror 3.

    I don't recommend it. Taking off 6 Health points in two actions isn't very likely, and you would get hit in return. Offing the one with 1 Health point left should be a higher priority.

    Also, did anyone noticed anything about the Horrors attack pattern?
     
    Hmmm, ok.

    It looks like 1 is just doing Aerials and Blocks, 2 Rushes and Blocks, and 3 Strikes and Blocks. And the pattern appears to be 2 of each, then a Block.

    [X] That he can't let something like this beat him if he's going to live up to Garo's example. He must stand strong.

    [X] Rising Sword Strike on Horror 1, Reed in the Wind, Grapple, Sword Strike, Sword Strike, Grapple on Horror 4

    I'm not sure when we'll defeat 4, so sticking to moves that defeat what it's doing, and also aren't defeated by or defeat what 5's doing.

    Again, I don't recommend using Sword Strike against a Rush. A simple Rush defeats Strikes, so use Sword Strike against Rush-Techniques that doesn't defeat Strikes.

    But it clearly states in the description that Sword Strikes defeat Rushes.
    SWORD STRIKE: OOOOOOOOOO
    Cost: —; Range: Close/Still or Back; Type: Strike
    Clash Roll: Dexterity + Sword Strike
    Damage: Strength + 3 – opponent's Stamina (min 1)
    The Knight strikes with his sword, hitting the opponent with a powerful strike. This technique defeats Rushes.

    See?

    Edit:...wait, that means we should've beaten all those Rushes in the last round!

    RUSH: OOOOOOOOOO

    Merit: automatically defeats Strikes.

    When two techniques both defeat the other one, is a Hit Trade. It means both hits the other one.

    ...So we have no actual attacks that defeat Rushes and don't result in Hit Trades then?

    Edit: Wait, I went back and found fights where Sword Strikes cleanly defeat Rushes, so you're giving us mixed signals.

    Well, Sheath Throw defeats Rushes. We only have a single dot in it, but if it succeeds automatically that shouldn't matter.

    Like I said, those were Rush-Type Techniques, not simple Rushes. The former didn't defeat Strikes.

    Ok can I suggest something?
    You make a post with what techniques defeats what written plainly, instead of people having to go and check individual techniques and what they all beat, or some vague mentions of certain techniques beating others without listing the order of them.
    Then everyone can reference it when making combat plans, and it'll be quick and easy.

    So, a list of which one of Tetsuya's techniques is best to use against a certain Action?
