Both moves are good. How to decide? The fighters are of equal standing and niether makes much use of the terrain or the day. After a bit of eye gouging and poking, the judges reluctantly give the round to Jackal.
Point to Jackal, One Flag Jackal, One Flag Neutral
Kerall's got to think quickly. He used his northstar style twice - it once worked, once failed. Not much for a statistic, but he has to keep the heat up. Keeping an eye on Jackal's blade, ready for a last-moment dodge, the challenger attacks.
The northstar slaughters the palace; defends against the quickening of the weapon!
Jackal spings into action with a renewed sense of momenteum. He dives at kerall with his sword outstreched. The sword finds it mark and pierces Kerall's shoulder. "Your time has come dark fiend" As Kerall attempts to counterattack, Jackal twists the sword in Kerall's shoulder to make him think otherwise.
The needle devours the marsh; negates the punch of the leaf! *yen*
As Kerall defends against Jackal's weapon style, a spectator throws him a yen, yelling, "Nail the goody-two shoes." So kerall, catching the yen obliges.
Jackal sees a glitter of yen flowing the air and is distracted as Kerall attacks him.
Jackal angry at himself for letting himself to be distracted attacks Kerall. Jackal Swings his sword sliceing the ground and then finally up into Kerall. The resulting dust cloud allows Jackal to dodge any counterattck.
The rat cuts the canyon; dodges the chaos of the fire!
"You know nothing about me, boy! Do you think you have the right to judge me?"
Time for some bastard fighting. Seeing that the judges appreciated the lotus blossom style before, Kerall adopts the same stance, and attempts to distract Jackal so as to make a sweep.
The lotus blossum sweeps upon the swamp; guards against the chi of the river!
Having succeeded at his sweep, Kerall follows-up with ground-level blows using another sneaky and bastard style. Meanwhile, he uses his kama to push away the thrusts Jackal is attempting from below.
The scorpion glides with the plain; scatters the thrust of the steel!
