FurikoMaru said:Ami's entire schtick is making mediocre swords better. Sure, Asuma's the better person for this kind of deal, since his Wind affinity makes his Hien more of a slicer-dicer to Ami's block-all-of-the-strikes, but if you use a Zantetsuken (for its canonical purpose for once), you can pull it off.
Torgamous said:Hymn, are you sure you want to use your Z-slash when Uju's already using his?
Sounds about right.Hymn of Ragnarok said:He called in his when I had already called in mine early. Honestly I would expect it to only kick in if his plan wins, and with my vice versa.
Guile said:Sounds about right.
And given we're going to succeed no matter what we do (god bless Zantetsuken), I guess it doesn't matter.
Sorry to be so vague about that kind of thing. I just know I don't want you guys to be able to run roughshod over ostensibly competent adults. The Z-Slash didn't get you the cigarettes because Asuma had specifically set up the scenario you wanted to pull off; if you had gone for his wallet instead you'd have got away clean. A Z-Slash for Shintenshin on Ibiki would have gotten you a fun Bonus Level to the exam where he runs you through a brief simulation in his head and tries to see if T&I should be scouting you before the ANBU find out what kind of potential you have.Hymn of Ragnarok said:Not necessarily. We're only as good as the author decides we are. Stealing Asuma's cigs got us punked. If we'd tried Shintenshin on Ibiki even a Z-Slash wouldn't save us.
So we have limits. We just don't know where they are.
He'll put it out by going full water and then reconstitute himself outside the wire and punch you out.Scia said:Uh what happens if we throw the wire onto/through him while he goes watery and then set it aflame?
Because if the ceiling is consumed in flame, Suigetsu will quickly become unable to hydrafy.Jack Trade said:Out of interest why is Ami so determined setting the ceiling on fire
With her hand, you mean?The Nobody said:Just for the record, can we know what would have happened if Ami took the sword?
Is it bad that I would've preferred that option to win? Tough girls with scarsFurikoMaru said:With her hand, you mean?
Suigetsu would have re-manifested his hands in time to close them around hers and started squeezing, clearly looking to break her fingers. You then would have had the choice to either flare your Hien around the hilt to make him let go (doing a decent amount of cosmetic damage to your own hand), or some other options I didn't bother to think of because that choice didn't win.
Adele - Set Fire to the RainFurikoMaru said:
*sigh*FurikoMaru said:With a cry, you heave sideways at the sword's hilt with the back of your blade, driving it out of reach and embedding the very tip in the wall. Cursing, Suigetsu kicks you hard in the ribs, leaving you winded for a moment as he dives to pull his sword out of the wall before you can retaliate.

Didn't get it out the arena, huh?
I'm tempted to peg him directly with a Grand Fireball, but I have my doubts here about it's appropriateness, just as I did about napalm.
Canon!Gaara was also cuckoo for Coco Puffs; you will note that no one else escalated to that level of force until he did, and the only two guys who did used it against him.Vindictus said:Note that this is the exam where Canon Gaara crushed Lee's leg into so much mangled flesh and bone jelly.
Lethal and crippling techniques are explicitly alright in this situation.
I believe that's going to happen if Ami aims for the sword instead of for Suigetsu.Vindictus said:Well, if we blast him one of two things will happen.
A, he leaves his sword to dodge it. This results in the area around his sword being on fire, and the sword itself being red hot.
B, he tries to pry the sword loose and get blasted. This results in a direct hit, and he'll probably get severely injured.
IMO, either way ends with us winning.
Neither Zantetsuken was used because neither of your write-ins won. More people wanted the sword out of his hands than wanted it destroyed, but only uju went for his specific variation, IIRC.Hymn of Ragnarok said:I'm gonna count that as uju's Z-Slash being used since it was more in spirit with what he wanted.

This is an exam, and promotion is based not only on winning, but judgement.
We're trying to beat the guy not kill him.
