Turn 2: Overkill"That.... was clever. Not enough."
Shake myself out of it and dodge for now.
"SAVIOR OF THE UNIVERSE! That little musical number was for all of you lovely ladies in the crowd! But for the gentlemen watching, I'm about to show you why you should never mess with The Flashbulb."
Run up to Shanaxi and give a him a good stomp to the family jewels before he can recover.
[2] vs [3]
[6] vs [4]
Shanaxi stumbles backwards a bit, failing to avoid Flashbulb until the latter is right on top of him, leg raised firmly above his collarbone in preparation for a truly brutal crotch strike. That seems to knock Shanaxi out of his reverie, and he dodges backwards in time to avoid most of the blow, though he does get winged rather painfully by Flashbulb's shockwave-generating downward slam.
Shanaxi: +1 Speed exp
Flashbulb: +1 Speed exp, +2 Str exp
+1 Spd, +1 Str!Standing up an brushing himself off, Meran waited for blankface to make his move, and when he did, he would simply intercept the attack, block it, and slam his opponent into the air that he may hit the ground all the harder by slamming him back into the ground, as per the 'flying is fun' school of martial arts.
"So," Meran asked, "Do you know exactly what kind of being you are?"
Kick Meran in the face.
[6] vs [6]
[6] vs [1]
Blankface rockets forward in another blindingly fast flying kick, sending both him and Meran flying as Meran catches it, his arms and Blankface's legs intertwined. Meran then twists them both around in midair, before Blankface twists them again and then slams straight down, cracking the arena's tiles with a resounding boom. When the literal dust clears, Blankface is kneeling atop Meran, who looks like he's in no position to move much less fight.
Meran: +2 Agility Exp
+1 Agility!
Blankface: +4 Str Exp
+2 Str!Charge Gangrenious while making another "Nyaaa!" noise. When I get up to him, hop into a handstand and start helicoptering my legs at him.
"...Seriously?"
Use web to bind the...whatever it is.
[4] vs [4]
[6] vs [1]
Murglau charges forward, making bizarre noises before leaping into a handstand and spinkicking at Gangrenious. Gangrenious narrowly dodges, then sprays a veritable cannon of magical webbing from his hands, causing Murglau to completely cocoon himself with his own spiral momentum. There's now a rather large ball of slightly wriggling webbing in the arena.
Murglau: +1 Agi exp
Gangrenious: +3 Agi exp
+1 Agi!None can beat Baka in a staring contest.
Deliver kick to Murderboat's face.
Punch the Baka in the face.
Actually punch MYSELF in the face so I get knocked back to dodge his attack.
[4] vs [2]
[2] vs [2]
Murderboat slaps himself, failing to gain significant altitude, while Baka does a much better job with his foot.
