medusa v newt for death Round One
medusa ?clarity ? 8 out of 10 ; the way you described your angles left me confused, there are a few that would get her hips away from newt's body. I see now medusa was straightening her body out and attacking head on, but your description could easily leave people thinking you got your lefts and rights mixed up. Which of Newt's shoulders did she want to angle her body with? what angle? (parallel, perpendicular would have helped here) (-2) powerplay ? 9 out of 10 ; firsts posts are hard, but this was a lot of movement, be careful that you give your opponent the chance to respond. (-1) defense ? 10 out of 10 ; legs spread, balance evenly distributed, limbs bent, body lowered, tail lashing, hackles raised, shoulders rolled, neck scrunched, head lowered, chin tucked, jaws parted, claws in soul, eyes narrowed, ears pinned attack ? 7 out of 10 ; attack to the right side of newt's neck (+3), slamming her paw into newt's elbow (+2), slamming her left shoulder into newt's shoulder (+2) injuries ? 10 out of 10 ; first round. round one medusa total ? 44 out of 50 newt ? clarity ? 9 out of 10 ; a mostly clear post powerplay ? 9 out of 10 ; you don't mention how much damage Medusa does to Newt's right shoulder. (-1) defense ? 10 out of 10 ; body tense, legs evenly spread, toes spread and gripping the ground, tail tucked, lips pulled back, ears pinned, head lowered, eyes squinted, abdomen tight, neck scrunched, jaws parted, fur bristled attack ? 7 out of 10 ; attack to medusa's right leg (+3), turning her head to her left to get her on the ground (+2), using a paw to hold Medusa down (+2) injuries ? 10 out of 10 ; first round. round one newt total ? 45 out of 50 Round Two
medusa ? clarity ? 10 out of 10 ; a clear post powerplay ? 8 out 10 ; her attack with her shoulder definitely wouldn't be enough to break ribs (-1), moving completely out of the way of Newt's paw is pp, there's no way she could have moved that quickly (-1) defense ? 10 out of 10 ; limbs equally balanced, weight evenly distributed, limbs bent, toes spread and claws in soil, lowered body, tail lashing, hackles raised, shoulders rolled, head lowered, neck scrunched, chin tucked, jaws parted, eyes narrowed, ears pinned attack ? 5 out of 10 ; bite to newt's right side (+3), slamming her shoulder into Newt's right side (+2) injuries ? 7 out of 10 ; bite wound to right shoulder (-3) round two medusa total ? 40 out of 50 newt ? clarity 8 out of 10 ; minor grammar issues (-1), a bit hard to follow in the fourth paragraph "She felt Medusas teeth score on her back just a few inches before her previous puncture wounds." I'm still unsure of what you were trying to say. (-1) powerplay7 out of 10 ; "they were perhaps a foot apart from one another if not a few inches" i understand this fight is at close quarters, but it's minor pp to state the distance in this manner because it places your opponent as well as your own character (-1) you don't say that she crouched again / remained crouch through her lunge, which makes the placement of medusa's attack a bit strange (-1) you don't mention how much damage was done to newt, is there blood? ripped fur? how deep was the wound? (-1) defense 10 out of 10 ; abdomen tightened, tail curled, toes splayed and claws in the ground, neck scrunched, shoulders rolled, fur bristled, jaws ajar, eyes narrowed, ears tucked, head lowered, tail being used for balance attack 7 out of 10 ; slamming her shoulder into medusa (+2) bite to medusa's neck (+3) shaking her head to inflict further damage (+2) injuries 7 out of 10 ; bite wound to right shoulder (-3) round two newt total 39 out of 50 Round Three
medusa ?clarity 8 out of 10 ; a lot of re-reading was necessary to make sense of this post (-2) powerplay 7 out of 10 ; newt moved to bite medusa while she was attacking is far too quick a reaction (-2) the attack and damage is all pending, so she shouldn't have made movements afterward (-1) defense 10 out of 10 ; legs spread evenly, limbs bent, toes spread and claws in soil, weight evenly distributed, shoulders rolled, head lowered, neck scrunched, tail lashing, chin tucked, jaws parted, eyes narrowed, ears pinned, muscles tense attack 7 out of 10 ; bite to newt's nose (+3), swiping her paw at newt's right paw (+2), Steno biting at newt's left paw (+2) injuries 9 out of 10 ; bruising to left shoulder (-1) round three medusa total 41 out of 50 newt ? clarity 9 out of 10 ; a pretty clear post powerplay 7 out of 10 ; I don't think Newt would have been able to to lift both of her paws off of the ground at this angle quickly enough to avoid damage (-2) to push herself up, push forward and then come back down doesn't leave your opponent time to react (-1) defense 10 out of 10 ; abdomen tight, weight evenly distributed, claws in earth, shoulders rolled, eyes slanted, tail swaying, head tucked, fur raised, body crouched, jaws open attack 8 out of 10 ; bite to medusa's bottom jaw (+3), shaking of the head (+1), pushing her front legs into medusa's chest (+2), stepping on wolverine (+2) injuries 7 out of 10 ; bite wound to shoulder (-3) round three newt total 41 out of 50 Round Four
medusa ?clarity 9 out of 10 ; a pretty clear post, especially with all of the movement in it powerplay 8 out of 10 ; changing her angle is not enough to avoid so much damage (in regards to chest damage) (-1), how does medusa shifting left and backward damage her left lip opposed to her right?(-1) defense 10 out of 10 ; hind legs spread, weight evenly distributed, toes spread and claws in soil, tail wagging, hackles raised, shoulders rolled, head aligned with spine, neck scrunched, chin tucked, jaws parted, eyes narrowed, ears pinned attack 6 out of 10 ; bite to newt's throat (+3), shaking head to further damage (+1), slamming chest into newt's shoulder (+2) injuries 6 out of 10 ; flesh torn from lips (-3), bruising to chest (-1) round four medusa total 39 out of 50 newt ? clarity ? 8 out of 10 ; a pretty clear post, some minor grammar issues and repetition, as well as some confusion in movements powerplay9 out of 10 ; medusa moved forward and up and newt forward, how did medusa end up draped over her? (-1) defense 10 out of 10 ; weight evenly distributed, legs parted, tail curled, head lowered, toes splayed and claws in ground, shoulders rolled, hackles raised, abdomen tight, ears tucked, eyes squinted attack 6 out of 10 ; bite to medusa's stomach (+3), grabbing medusa's thigh (+1), trying to shove medusa to the left (+2), injuries 6 out of 10 ; bruising to left shoulder (-1), gash to nose (-1) round four newt total 39 out of 50 Totals
medusa 164 out of 200 newt 164 out of 200 And the winner is...
tie! Damage
medusa - pending - second judging coming newt - pending - second judging coming Notes
This was a really close fight! You both did really well, the only thing that got you was clarity and powerplay toward the end - your defenses are solid and most of the time you made very good, as well as creative attacks. The second judgement will be coming soon. - By [ Serendipity ]
