cosmicarus Posted November 13, 2007 Posted November 13, 2007 Actually, the fight between Nightrival/Shadowboxer and Maelstrom/Uninverted came first, with the first in-game post coming on Oct. 30th. Ours started on Nov. 5th. Still, ours was better. Ooh - where can I find these battles?

Heridfel Posted November 13, 2007 Posted November 13, 2007 Yeah, it's not immediately obvious, but radar originally stood for "Radio Detection and Ranging" and that's how his Blindsight works. It's got a single rank of Extended, so it works about a factor of 10 better than sight. That'd give me about a second to see you coming, which would be enough to dodge (especially if you didn't expect me to see you). Also, for what it's worth, my Blast could hurt you... but I need to use Power Attack, and that means I'm less likely to hit than usual. I was making sure I didn't abuse the knowledge that your new form was much more vulnerable to grappling and Gravity Control. My bigger fear there early in the battle was that you'd grab a hold of me and start spanking me in a grapple. It was a good fight, and I think you'll soon be glad that you owe a favor to Heavy. For a villain, he's not ruthless or psychotic, and your owing him a favor also means that he'll protect you to some extent so that you get a chance to pay him back later.

That'd give me about a second to see you coming, which would be enough to dodge (especially if you didn't expect me to see you). Being able to see things at a hundred feet per -1 isn't a tremendous amount better than 10 feet when the guy that's coming at you is out of sight (over the horizon line) one instant and on you the next. You would need to react at something like a tenth of a second at the most in order for you to do anything other than widen your eyes slightly. In any case, how do you want to wrap this up? One last in-game post, or round of posts, and then we go our separate ways? EDIT: Nevermind, I just found your in-game post.

Heridfel Posted November 13, 2007 Posted November 13, 2007 I spoke with Barnum, and I think I found a better use of the favor than what I had said. This way, the two of us can work together on a museum heist, while two PL 10 heroes (one of them probably being Spellweaver, given what the target is) can come by and try to oppose us. Sound interesting to you? Also, anyone following along interested in being on the side of good going against us?

Veiled Malice Posted November 13, 2007 Posted November 13, 2007 Sounds great. I was hoping Nanowire could do something besides bust Heavy out should he ever go to jail. That he could handle from home, damn near. Datalink and Machine Control are wonderful things. Of course, I can't use them both at the same time, so he would have to physically be there to use them.

Heridfel Posted November 14, 2007 Posted November 14, 2007 Heh. I'll get to try out my first power stunt if my plan goes according to plan. I'm looking to use the Flight portion of my battlesuit to turn into Spatial Control. Instead of manipulating gravity to fly, I use it to create a mini-wormhole and end up somewhere else. Granted, it's not Precise (so I can't use it to steal the book directly), and only good for Long distances, but I still think it's a neat thing to try out.

Veiled Malice Posted November 14, 2007 Posted November 14, 2007 Very true. I have a character on GG that uses Spatial Control to teleport. He's only PL 10/150 pp, but he's far more powerful than those numbers would otherwise indicate. I hope it'll work out for you, and it'll be a kick to take on some heroes with ya! ;)
