Square Elite Tournament 2017

I yield. The stun wouldn't wear off fast enough for Veldaan move in time to dodge the bullet from hitting him completely, and literally any further damage at this point would take him out thanks to his life-draining punch from two turns ago putting him at essentially critical levels. DW, it's your go.

 

Nah. Just follow the line of action to its logical conclusion. I.E. bullet in head.

 

I'm a little late with this reply, but Moogle was right. We honestly weren't scheming with each other. I figured it would be best to try to get rid of the one with the greatest range first. Though if Moogle had focused Veldaan's attention towards Hector I would've had no choice but to respond to that.

I shall be addressing this in my post momentarily.

Honestly I think you've been doing fine. A multi man melee like this was going to get rather messy in who was fighting who anyways. The fact that we generally stuck to single targets is more of an aberration.

 

Correct. Spear in right hand, shield in left.

 

Man I could not think of a way to guarantee Hector wouldn't get shot. Can't wait to see the response.

Also I feel my pushing motion at the end needs a bit of clarification since I couldn't exactly find the right set of words when I was making the post. Hopefully I can explain it right here. My intent with it that the post is essentially ending with him starting his push forward. So basically the actual pushing motion would be starting with your post. Does that make sense?

 

So it seems the source of your confusion was my misunderstanding(s). Also I should first point out that my previous reply in this thread was talking about the shield push and not the spear push.

From your last post I was under the impression that Andrea was taking aim, not that she had actually taken a shot. Which, in a small twist of irony, is a setup similar to how I ended my post. So with me thinking that she was taking aim and not yet shooting my actions were meant to interrupt her aim.

Further confusion seems to be from Hector's jump attack connecting. From your post I was under the impression that you had Hector's spear cut inside her shoulder but not completely pass through. I was not sure if you left it open for me to decide if the spear completely went through her shoulder or not. Therefore I had Hector push the spear deeper so it would stick out the other end of her shoulder. I was then thinking that such an action would apply some torque and twist her body, unless of course you would have her brace her body to attempt to stay stationary as the spear was pushed forward. Again, this is dependent on the spear not completely going in her shoulder and out the other end when it first hit her.

Once pushing the spear forward like that I had Hector simply let it go and leave it sticking out of Andrea's shoulder, in order to quickly bring his shield forward for defense and that the spear would hopefully provide further disruptions to Andrea's movements. From there he bent his knees to cover as much of his body as possible with the shield, not bent into a full crouch but more of a stance preparing to push something large and heavy (I could not think of a good way to describe that when I made the post the other night). This would then lead into him moving to push Andrea with his shield.

So assuming any of this goes against what you had meant with your previous post (Mainly how much the spear impaled her and whether or not she actually would have shot her pistol during my post) I will happily edit my post to go with proper events.

 

Full hit of the attack means a headshot which means this battle is over. So I made my edit with the thought in mind that I would be able to not die. Also gotta say hindsight is a pain and I really should've said which lance Hector was using at the start of the battle. Oh well, too late.

I should probably say this now while there are still a few days. This Friday to Monday I will be away from home and as such I will not have computer access, so I will not be able to be on this site for that time period. I hope that me notifying everybody in advance would be justifiable cause for the time limit for posts to be waived for those 4 days.

 

Aren't dragoons supposed to wear helmets?

 

He does have a helmet. Not sure how effective it is with armor piercing rounds at point blank range.

 

Thanks again for the extension. I'm back and ready to continue. With my post I do want to point out that in FFXV nobody actually drank the potion, they'd just break the top off and everybody gets healed. So yeah, preemptive justification for my post.

With Andrea's gunblade, I'm picturing something more akin to Squall's gunblade, which cannot shoot bullets (Instead the rounds it fires causes the blade to vibrate and do more damage). I assume her gunblade is designed to actually be able to shoot bullets at her opponent?

Also, way back when I made my profile I posed a question about Hector's Lancet ability I gave him and nobody answered. So I'll ask it again. Every FF game I've played that has it (Probably only FFX) the attack does not miss. So for this fight would it be the same or would it be best to allow it to miss? I am fine with either, I just need to know what we're going with before there comes a point where I feel I should use it.

 

I mean its hard to not be biased about it. I could just as easily say that I want to be able to use it in rapid succession, from a distance, 100% accuracy. I'm just unsure if making it a contact type ability would be too massive a nerf for it or not. That being said, at this moment I find myself unable to come up with anything that would be less of a nerf that would still be considered fair.
