[Phoenix Eye Round 2] Gustaf Vs. Temuro

[Creamsteak]

"Temuro, I challenge you to a 4 flag strategy speed match, right now!"

<MechaMeowth> 1: The grasshopper sings facing the paradise; dominates the chi of the bird!
<MechaMeowth> 2: The foot shreds the marsh; avoids the energy of the mire!
<MechaMeowth> 3: The staff flies next to the hells; absorbs the touch of the garden!
<MechaMeowth> 4: The faultless grasshopper sings through the cemetery while it assaults the Bottomless Well; dodges the rolling of the sky!
<MechaMeowth> 5: The manticore moves atop the fountain; grasps the cut of the insect!

 

[Knight Otu]

"So be it, Gustaf."

1: The nunchaku attacks the shrine; shields the assailment of the crevice!

2: The scorpion aggresively splits the wastelands; dodges the terror of the rodent! *yen*

3: The panther swims within the ruins; silences the stab of the insect!

4: The staff devours the swamp as it slays the Plaza of the Ten Thousand Immortals; fends off the onslaught of the crevice and dodges the chi of the star!

5: The scorpion assaults the plain; absorbs the onslaught of the mountain!

 

[Ciaran]

"The ancient masters have decreed this match to take place at the city north-east of the Snowy Wastes on the night of the ki-rin. Gustaf will go first until he uses his Chi Strike; then Temuro will go first until he uses his Chi Strike; then Gustaf will go first until he uses his Holy Day. If the match continues past that point, the fighters will alternate."

 

[Creamsteak]

"You have a very strong hand my noble opponent. Only one thing I can do about that..."

Holy Day: Grasshopper

The faultless grasshopper sings through the cemetery while it assaults the Bottomless Well; dodges the rolling of the sky!

Gustaf unleashes an incredible variety of spell-arts.

"Perfect Combination Art: Tree, Beast, Tone, Stone, Stone, Water, Water!" - Water Sprinkler

 

[Knight Otu]

3: The panther swims within the ruins; silences the stab of the insect!

"We will see how strong my hand really is, enlightened Gustaf, especially against a powerful fighter as you are."

As Temuro finds himself within the assault of Gustaf, he remains silent, and uses slow moves, almost as if in water, but still gracious like a feline, for his counter-attack.

 

[Ciaran]

“Ah,” murmurs the judge, “a difficult exchange. Gustaf moves with elegance and serenity; he controls the elements with faultless skill. Temuro, for his part, defends masterfully against Gustaf’s attack; such are his powers of observation that he defends against both style and technique, guarding against the grasshopper’s song. The panther swims better than the grasshopper, but the grasshopper attacks faultlessly where the panther merely defends. Ultimately, it is the day that determines the round. The grasshopper drowns the panther in the Bottomless Well; Point and Day to Gustaf.”

Two flags Gustaf, zero flags Temuro.

 

[Creamsteak]

"Alright, my opponent, I'm not letting you pick up speed now."

Chi Strike

"And furthermore, I shall strike you resoundingly!"

The foot shreds the marsh; avoids the energy of the mire!

Mastery: Tiger!

The Tiger shreds the marsh; avoids the energy of the mire!

"Now you face my Beast combination spell art, the Tiger's wrath! It is protected against your most powerful method of counter-attack, because of it's high resistance to the location."

"Combo Art, Beast Beast Beast Water!" - Tiger's Swamp Stomp

 

[Knight Otu]

"A strong move indeed, Gustaf, and my seemingly strongest move would not do me much good against it. I shall try a different one."

2: The scorpion aggresively splits the wastelands; dodges the terror of the rodent! *yen*

Trying to dodge between the assault of Gustaf, Temuro attempts to agressively split through his opponent's defense.

 

[Ciaran]

"Both moves demonstrate great skill and power; the fighters give their all here. Temuro attacks aggressively in the subtle Scorpion style, concealing his attack until the moment comes to strike. Gustaf, having dissuaded his opponent from using a potentially more powerful attack, unleashes a flurry of devastating strikes in the Tiger style. Both attacks are strong, and both fighters make strong use of synergy; the tiger masters the swamp, while the scorpion is in its element. In the end, I must go with Gustaf's marginally superior use of synergy. The tiger's claws shred the scorpion; Point, Style, Yen and Match to Gustaf!"

Four flags Gustaf.
Victory to Gustaf!

"Gustaf, you are now a Red Belt 6, with a record of 10-0. Your progress thus far has been nothing short of astounding. Where all others have failed to defeat Meowth's rise to power, you alone may yet seize victory from the Oyuban and claim victory in the Tournament of the Phoenix Eye.

"Shiba Temuro, you are now a Green Belt 0, with a record of 5-5. You fought well, but like all others before you, you failed to conquer Gustaf's strange combat arts. You may no longer compete for victory in the Tournament, but you fought with honor, and that honor will remain with you as you go out into the world. Apply yourself to further study of the arts of strategy, and you shall yet prove victorious in future contests."

 

[Creamsteak]

"You did well my compatriot. That was a very harsh round, I could definitely say that had I lost that round, you would have beaten me in the next round without any doubt. Then victory would have been yours. Depending on how I do in this tournament, I may come back to talk with you later, my friend."
