The All-Trench Karate War | OOC Planning Post!

[strikefirster]

Hello, everyone! It's time for a Sleeper Combat Tournament put on by Johnny Lawrence, Terry Silver, and Ozpin RWBY, plus a few other self-declared combat teachers in town. For the original planning post, look here. (If you'd like to join as a late addition, just jump in below!)

Fights will take place at the Gate. Here are the rules:

Each Sleeper combatant must be associated with a Sleeper combat instructor (Johnny, Terry, Ozpin, Sasuke, or Amaratsu). Late additions and handwaved ties are fine!

Sleepers can fight in the armed or unarmed bracket, or in both.

The use of powers is heavily discouraged and can result in a foul.

Excessive force or the injury of combatants is heavily discouraged and can result in a foul.

All melee weapons are welcome in armed combat. Each match is to first touch. All parts of the body are valid targets. Three points wins the match.

All fighting styles are welcome in unarmed combat. A point is declared when contact is made with head or torso. (A foul is called if you strike the neck, spine, or below the waist.) Three points wins the match.

Now the timeline for both Armed and Unarmed brackets:

5/14 | Round One | This post goes up. Please comment confirming your participation by 11:59 EST on the 16th. Please state whether you have an opponent in mind (can be from your same school).

5/17 | Round One | If you didn't claim an opponent, you will receive an RNG opponent (will be from a different school when possible). Past this point late arrivals are still welcome, but will be paired with each other. If you OOCly agree on a match winner, please comment confirming the winner by 11:59 EST on the 18th.

5/19 | Round Two | If you didn't declare a match winner, you will receive an RNG winner. Winners will move on to the next round! We repeat the process again. Please state whether you have an opponent in mind by 11:59 EST on the 20th.

5/21 | Round Two | If you didn't claim an opponent, you will receive an RNG opponent. If you OOCly agree on a match winner, please comment confirming the winner by 11:59 EST on the 22nd.

FINAL MATCH | Y'all know the drill.

The log itself will go up once Round One is generated. You can tag as quickly or slowly as you want, and you can handwave fights entirely if you talk it out with your matchup partner.

ARMED DIVISION - Tinya vs. Sayo

[forwantofahorse]

Sayo wins by a narrow margin of 3-2.

Details: Sayo feigns various weaknesses to score her first two points quickly, but Tinya gets the upper hand after that with her superior combat experience. However, when she goes for a body check to throw Sayo off balance and get her with her nunchucks, Sayo uses both Cobra Kai and shrike techniques to do a reversal, exposing a weakness and striking with her rapier for the final point.

ARMED DIVISION - Round 1 result

[alternia_strength]
