Enduring Blade Archetype: Fighter

Do you like that thing where a swordsman draws their sword, attacks, and sheaves it all in the blink of an eye. Only for their enemy to collapse in a pile of pieces 2 seconds later?

Well, the enduring blade is that.

Charlotta isn’t quite Angel of Thresholds but god is it ever satisfying to write a snippy amnesiac with delusions of grandeur.

#three distinct siege modes #they don’t tell you this but the art of writing failgirls is basically like iaijutsu

[stupidstupidratcreatures]

is it fair to say that the iaijutsu single fluid unsheathe-and-kill motion is made less cool when you already have the sword out and have to put it away to do the trick. like not hugely less cool but like... a statistically significant amount

#op #tried out the iaito today. i like it but idk if i like it enough to use havel's ring for it when i could be using something else #writing this made me realize that 'iaito' probably translates to smth like 'sword you do iaijutsu with'. good name

I still think it was a bit of a mistake for Oda not to explore some of the disconnect of forcing a samurai to use fencing sword techniques, but there is some synergy when it comes to Brook's notch slash technique. Fencing has the reputation of being the sword style that depends most on being fast, while iaijutsu is a whole discipline revolved around the quick draw. It helps make it feel very natural for Ryuma to be better at it than Brook is, beyond him simply having a stronger body

unsheathes my cock (uncut) from my foreskin and performs a flawless iaijutsu cut on your pussy

[ganymedesclock]

Tears of the Kingdom is actually looking very promising but I, for one, absolutely cannot wait to get obliterated by the version of Ganondorf that created Thunderblight and is conspicuously holding a sheathed katana like an iaijutsu practitioner

#Legend of Zelda #Tears of the Kingdom #totk spoilers #mess up during the boss fight and he'll single-stroke cutscene OHKO you

The Samurai's level 70 "Myochin Tekko" is a special lether worn on the left hand that helps grip the scabbard when performing Iaijutsu. On which, is a mythril design that assists the user in channeling aether.

Pokemon, Part 3

After I got to Vermilion, I went though the SS Anne in search of a swordmaster. The entire arc here is actually really fun. See, Cut, in Japanese, is Iai Cut - as in, your pokemon draws a sword while slashing to cut through trees blocking your path. This context makes the excursion actually cool. And what's more is that Cut is not a weak move by the standards of when you get it - at this level, you are still largely dealing with Power 30-ish moves, and this is Power 50. It's thus actually a very practical move - just nothing like the end-game techs.

Another fascinating aspect of Pokemon's design is how it interacts with trade mechanics. See, you CAN seek out a swordmaster to teach you the Iaijutsu Cut... Or you can seek out a friend who can pass the ability on to you. Pokemon Red is designed akin to a Metroidvania, where your new abilities are locked behind gym battles and HMs and open up further ways to explore. But there's a difference - it is possible to trade in Pokemon with these abilities instead of scouring the earth to find them. Thinking back, it seems like at least few seem to be intended to be shared - As a kid, I could not find Surf without outside help. But suppose you had 4 kids, meeting each other at school, and one of them figured out where Surf was - That person could trade in a pokemon with that HM, unlocking paths for their friends. This is interesting design.

My Beedrill, Musashi, was taught CUT and stored away to be traded. DUX, the outsider I acquired from an in-game trade, was also given CUT and is going to remain on my team for the foreseeable future. Because I have Go For The Eyes, the Ratata with Hyper Fang and Water Gun who can clear caves easily, and Zaftig the Nidoqueen (Who levelled up in the SS Anne to gain the 80-power Body Slam,) the next section of the game was real easy. Lt. Surge was a road bump, and MARCEL the Mr Mime guided me through Rock Tunnel. I also traded with a friend, exchanging the Magikarp I bought from a merchant in-game - Sashimi - for Pilot the Paras

Paras took a little effort to raise up, but the enhanced XP from being an outsider enhanced this a lot. In exchange, Teal will get an early-game Magikarp which gains XP very fast - and thus should get a Gyarados, fast. I taught Pilot DIG, giving me a powerful attack on a pokemon that needs some help - and giving me a good navigational tool for caves and dungeons, allowing me to push forward more. My Geodude, Gargoyle, also evolved into a Graveller at last. Since I have Nidoqueen already, I think trading them away may be best. ...Surprisingly, DUX is actually amazing. He has a variety of status effect moves, gains XP VERY fast, and most impressively - He is one of the very few pokemon who learn Swords Dance naturally, normally requiring a TM. This is actually nuts, because Swords Dance is great. This one ability makes this a great pokemon in the context of Red and Blue as a single-player experience. Once I got through Rock Tunnel, and into Lavender Town, I fought the Rival there. Pilot opened the fight with a Stun Spore, and then I switched to DUX. After Sword Dancing, he entirely swept the enemy team with Iai Cuts - including defeating a Gyarados with one cut

DUX YOU'RE SO FUGGIN COOL?
