[QUOTE="Serpenteye, post: 505684, member: 1492"] Matsu Nimuro strategy and rp-post Matsu Nimuro advances carefully, slowly, towards his opponent. He is, after all, an old man. At least that is the impression he tries to present. All the signs are there, but subtle so that only someone as perceptive and close as his opponent could notice them. His gait is stiff, his sword trembles ever so slightly, his breathing seems slightly more difficult than it should be. An old man, once a great warrior but now past his prime. A proud lion, but a toothless one. He answers his opponents quips with a stony silence, advances and raises his sword to attack, his leathery face giving no hint as to where the blow shall land. And then, with a mighty roar that thunders across the plain he strikes, fast as lightning, against the chest of his opponent. Just as the katana is about to slice into the heart of Togashi he changes the direction of his attack and brings the full force of the strike against the blade of the Dragon, to sunder his weapon. When Togashi has been disarmed it should be a simple matter to fininsh the duel. Strategy: 1) Deception, to make his overproud opponent underestimate him. 2) Battlecry, to, hopefully shock Togashi and unbalance him. 3) Attack, in such a way that the opponent reflexively fears for his life, to intimidate and unbalance him. A feint to leave him open for the true attack. 4) Sunder, using the appropriate feats, to make his opponent unable to continue the duel. [/QUOTE]
