Vash Sengou
His opponent would be displeased at the miscalculation of his swat/parry and his fans back home would have stood in preparation to cheer only to sit down in frustration at the miss of a "touchdown." It was all due to a slight miscalculation. His opponent was aiming for the revealed portion of his arm with the idea in mind that he was going for yet another jab while being cautious of any further tricks Vash may employ. The issue with this was Vash's arm never extended fully which ment the unarmored portion of his arm never became available for his opponent as it would have if he had extened it out fully, thus causing the strike to hit his armor arm instead. A similar miscalculation would save him here.

Quote:
As Vash charged forward and lowered his head Elliot would release a brilliant red torrent of concussive force from his eyes, opening the apertures so that the blast pretty much consumed the entire top of his face (nose, eyes, and foreheard area).


Quote:
The blast would collide with Vash's dome bearing greater force than a roundhouse kick. Vash was fast, but let's see him dodge a laser he was running face first into.


Jeez, today was just his lucky day in terms of near death escapes. So far he had managed to escape them all using quick wits and his heighted reaction time, but this one was just too close to escape without any damage done. His opponent had executed an almost flawless manuver that if timed perfectly would have left him in a world of pain and disorientation for a few moments. What saved him was that his opponent fired a bit too early. You see, his driving upwards that was supposed to take him to his ultimate doom would only occur only after he had a secure grip around his opponent with his left arm. Yes, his blast was too early. Being that he dropped his head, the only hint he had was the red light that was emitted. Of course Vash knew something was up and would move accordingly, shifting his body and head to the left and abandoning his idea of wrapping his arm around his opponents body and firing up. By this point he had already halted his opponents strike with the blade so he had no worries for an attack from that blade. Sadly, he didnt have enough time to fully escape the blast. The burst of energy collided with his right shoulder, hitting it hard and he'd deffinatly be feeling sore for a little while. Luckily the force wasnt greater than that of an axe kick or hed probbaly be looking at some kind of dislocation.

Vash knew, for now, it was a better idea to back up than to stay ontop of his opponent like he was but he wouldnt leave without a parting gift. Pushing, back with both legs as he gritted his teeth from the pain of the burst, he triggered his left gauntlet as the fingers of the gloves moved just over his opponents spine. In doing so be shot a second burst, this time through direct contact and in a wave fashion, through the fingers of his gauntlets. This attack was positioned directly upon his opponents spine and even though the voltage (15,000) and milliamperage (13) was not to cause any large amount of damage, it would hurt his opponent like hell especially with it being just over the spine. A nice departing gift as he moved away from the attempted immitation of superman his opponent was trying to do. Vash would continue to backpeddle, moving him quickly towards his dropped bag. His right arm, depending on the continuation or not of the beam would either be blocking its path with his gauntlets or readied to do so if it were needed to despite the pain he endured. Meanwhile, his left hand moved into the pouch at his side.

BeepBeepBeep. Back it up.

The driving upwards wasn't where Elliot's concern would lie, it was the fact that neither of Vash's hands were available to some how block the attack, though not like it would matter.

If Vash's saving grace had been the fact that he saw "a red glow" he was out of luck, since light and lasers pretty much travel at the same speed, both reaching him at the same time. In other words, by the time Vash would see the attack coming he would be boarding his train to Knockoutsville, but there were several other factors at play here as well. For one, they were at point blank range, probably a foot away leaving Vash with no time to make any sort of movement, even if he could somehow see it. Vash's speed would hamper him as well. He had been coming toward Elliot with every bit of his super-human speed, meaning his body's momentum was committed to going forward. For him to dramatically change direction and move so far to the left would have been extremely difficult. Between the distance, and Vash's motion it would have been difficult to dodge a spitball, let alone a beam of concussive force from the optics of the "Cyclops" imitator. Finally, even if Vash had managed to beat these outstanding odds, Elliot hadn't stopped firing the beam, meaning he was still able to adjust his attack. Since the beam came from his eyes, it would only take a glance and a slight pivot of his head to compensate for his opponent's movement, and surely Elliot's eyes were faster than Vash's whole body, though then again who knows. But even still, Vash could only shift his body so far before he ran out of room.

Either way, there were two scenarios at hand, one left Vash reeling in pain from being hit point blank with a laser, another had him dead, as movements that fast would cause the air's friction to burn the flesh off his bones. More than likely though, Vash would be taking in the face like a teenage hooker.

Once the attack went through Elliot would launch a right kick "This is Sparta" style on Vash's lower gut just above his waist, likely knocking the b*****d flat on his a**. The Cuban grimaced as he stood over the defeated man.

"This's for Gab."

His words of revenge were short and to the point as he lifted his right hand, pointing it like a gun before constructing a hologram to make it look the part. Elliot would then unleash his coup de grace. Rather then finish him with one large concussive blast, Elliot would spray him with lots of smaller, yet equally painful ones. The hologram-gun would rain "concussive bullets" on Vash's chest, stomach, and arms. They wouldn't break the skin but would sting as if they had, merely bruising instead, since killing was against the rules. Emptying the last of his reserved charge, Elliot would be able to pop off alittle more than a dozen shots

"PeuyoopPeuyoopPeuyoopPeuyoopPeuyoop!!!"


"Not so fast now, eh?"

Judge's Call

As requested, I'm stepping in to finalize the situation of Vash's grapple vs. Elliot's eye laser attack. I read the posts up to this point, and here's what I see:

The distance is basically close to clinch range with you guys after the punches you used, so we can already assume how much window of time anyone has to do anything. Vash charges forward after his gauntlet takes the blade and goes for a hug to Elliot, possible to follow up with some grapple move. And Elliot releases his laser.

I'm going to have to give the favor to Vash because even with high reflexes, there needs to be some sort of "expectation" or a notice of that that your character is "preparing" energies in his eyes for the attack. The reason this is crucial is because you guys are so close. Even if your character cam fire lasers from his eyes, there still needs to be some "pre planning." If you're firing off just as a reflex, then there's a small window of time to have it come out that puts Elliot at a disadvantage at this range. Thus, Vash hugs to Elliot's body with his grapple and the laser pretty much goes over Vash missing.

*bangs mallet...which suddenly breaks*

(Revised post coming

I'll be posting in response to the one Vash made before I shot the laser, where he drops to grab/headbutt me)

Vash Sengou
His opponent had missed one dire thing.

Vash was definitely surprised by what he could almost call a simple shrug off of his electrical attack, but, luckily for him, he had decided to change a few things. You see, his opponents parry was partially dependent on the near full extension of his arm. He couldn’t parry the area in which he he was targetting unless Vash's arm was almost fully extended, a feat that never happened since he stopped midway through his initial thrust and allowed the orb to continue through with the forward momentum. This would mean that the target being hit by the blade was not his elbow or relatively close but further down on his forearm. Now if his opponent was paying close attention he would notice that his gauntlets covered his arm all the way up to a point just before the elbow joint thus giving limited room for his blade to hit anything other than metal unless very accuratly calculated an no changes in assumed course was made.

Largely undeterred or not, the blade would cause no significant damage to Vash. Now, his right arm, due to the strike would be set off to his right, his opponents left which moved it out of range to stop his opponents impending draw. To remedy this problem, he changed his initial plan slightly and charged forward, but instead of dropping low to tackle around his opponents mid section as first planned, he only dipped slightly to where his head was about his chest area. He closed the little remaining space between them and wrapped his left arm around the body of his opponent, specifically around the right arm, while he quickly brought his right hand back into a grappling ready position to fend against his opponents free arm if need be. It was then, at this position with his head slightly lower and around the chest area of his opponent due to the dip, he thrusted his body up, recovering his full height and sending the top of his head straight towards the bridge of his opponents nose. It wasn’t a large blow of course being that it was an attack that didn’t have much room to build a large amount of force into it but if connected it should do its job of momentarily disorienting his opponent. Not only that, but by closing the distance and pressing his body into the body of his opponents, he reduced all effective room his opponent’s blade held by restricting movemet of that arm via pinning it between the two of them. If his headbutt were to work he would then use that moment of disorientation to shift his weight and take his opponent down to ground. From there he would mount and work on getting some good hits in.

Edited to clarify some areas.

Elliot had fired his laser too early and it had missed, going just above Vash's head as he sunk down to grapple with him (-1 Charge.)

All was not lost however, as Elliot had not ceased his attack. Feeling Vash's head on his chest Elliot would cast his fiery gaze down on the man. His move was quick, instinctive, as anyone would be in such a situation. This time things would be even worse for his opponent. Since Vash was slightly crouched, hunched over below Elliot, his neck and the top of his back would be exposed to the ray as the areas came into Elliot's line of sight while he looked down. Also, the blast's heat would have increased, coming to 200F, leaving the man with first degree burns over his bruised skin. His suffering would likely come to a temporary end once the energy hit the top of Vash's head at point blank, hopefully putting him out could, though it wasn't counted on. Vash would be in a world of pain however, as Elliot's eyes rained down crimson pain, with every bit of force held in a roundhouse
kick.(Charge -1)

-Oh s**t moment one-

His maneuver had worked to stop his opponent from drawing the blade. However, his opponent introduced yet another factor into their little equation. It was... laser vision? The hell? What were these guys in this tournament? First one with the super strength of superman and now one with his heat vision. These guys had to be brothers or something. As the beam darted over his head as he had begun to grappled the man, he would face his first, "oh s**t," moment. Of course, this new circumstance, he only thought one thing. That one thing was to get the hell out of range of that blast at all costs. Luckily for him, he was in the position to do so without sacrificing the upper hand he held on his opponent.

Vash was over his oh s**t moment by the time his opponent felt Vash's head upon his chest and would react to the firing of the beam itself rather than the impending downward glance of his opponent. As the beam fired overhead and Vash found his head against his opponents chest, he would bend his knees and allow his body to slide further down rather than completely lock the hug just yet. The full lock didnt matter at this point for with his body as close at it was his opponent wouldnt be able to draw the blade. Luckily for him, his opponent wasn't trying to break free either at the moment and decided to continue through with the blast. If he had done so, he may have been able to break away if he played his cards right. This lowering of his body took Vash's head and shoulders to his opponents midsection with his arm now holding tightly around the waist of his opponent. His opponents sword hand was still pinned against his body by Vash shoulder leaving it useless for the time being. His knees would be bent with his right foot a bit in front of his left.

Two things occurred at this moment. With Vash now bent low he had enough leverage to, with a forward and upward thrust to lift his opponent into the air as he extended his legs, using his knees to lift his opponent over his shoulder. The heated laser would of course hit Vash in the process, however, it would be upon his back, burning a hole in his favorite jacket as Vash raised up. Vash then brought Elliot back down from over his shoulders, slamming him into the earth below. In doing so his eyes probably caught a glimpse of the sky and the near death experience of the camera crew in the sky via rogue beam. Damage to the back of the head, upper back.... this was what Elliot would be facing now with a high chance of confusion as to what just took place as probably darkness flooded his vision for a second or two due to the collision to the ground. Although missing its original target, the blast had made contact with Vash's back. That was obvious but it how it managed not to phase Vash's as much as it should have would only be known to the watching audience.

Cameras recorded a cloud of steam emitted from the hole in his jacket, a small sign of bruising apparent after the steam cleared. Unknown to all of the combatants so far, Vash did not just used electricity and martial arts in his fights. No, his true skill was that of an elementalist, a water elementalist to be exact. Upon his upper body was an armor of clear ice that defended him against attacks. It was his insurance and trump card that normally surprised his opponents just enough to leave them open to attacks. Thankfully his opponents attack had not been any stronger. The ice armor could easily take the force of a roundhouse kick but the heat was what could do it in. A constant stream of kind of an attack could really hurt like a b***h.

Now if the beam had stopped, and by this time it should have due to the sudden force trama to the head, Vash would proceed to quickly mount his opponent and begin to rain down hammer fists with his right hand upon his opponents face. His left hand seemed ready to fend off any opposition he were to receive in trying to hit his mark.
