The Abandoned Son of True Concordia
Welcome back Yari, great to see an old face back up and running. I’m sorry for the delay, been chatting through PM’s so you know what’s going on at least. I’ll be judging this with moderate commentary as requested. Quotes will appear like this: ~ “[quote]” [post number it came from] ~ [Commentary]. Numbers will be given as such: | [Yari] | [Winterhair] |
[Continuity] | 6 | 5 |
Both of you opened up with a generic in the forest feel. Though you had more reason, Yari, being that you were once head of the Bandit Brotherhood, what exactly were you doing in the forest? Just wandering? Winterhair, you didn’t really give a lot of reasoning at all behind the reason for your skipping through the forest and killing people… it would have helped. Overall though, since the purpose of the battle was more for the steal and defend side of a battle, it was well done by both of you as far as overall purpose of intent goes once the battle started.
[Setting] | 5 | 4 |
Not a lot from either of you. I got some really pretty advanced writing from Yari at times that helped out, but overall the weakest category for both.
[Pacing] | 6 | 6 |
[Dialogue] | 6 | 6.5 |
-Winterhair-
Putting dialogue that’s split up that’s not either at the beginning or end of the paragraphs makes it somewhat hard to read. Try and keep it at beginning or end, you can start in the middle, pause to add outside action, and then continue as long as nothings after it. Otherwise it’s a jumble and I think technically against grammatical rules… hah.
[Action] | 6 | 6 |
It seemed like a lot was going on at times, while at others only a quick move would happen. A lot of dodging, and though I know Winterhair is a bigger strong character who’s also level 1, it seemed that Yari avoided almost all damage. Similarly, it seemed like a really long battle for such a lopsided level v. level battle… though well played in the end.
[Persona] | 6 | 6.5 |
I would have liked a bit more from Yari, but overall well done by both parties. Also, Yari, why would a thief feel the need to take on a monster of an opponent over a little robbery if he could just flee and go after an easier target. It wasn’t really made too clear WHY your character felt confident enough to fight, or why it was necessary to the character.
[Technique] | 7 | 6 |
-Yari- You did a very good job of incorporating a lot of advanced technique into the thread, which not only helped to set the stage but also a more dynamic feel to the battle overall.
-Winterhair-
Not sure if it should go here or not, but this seems to be the most fitting place to put it. The technique that you used for the different coloration for the text isn’t bad. It may be a personal pet peeve, but it works for certain characters and you pull it off well. The only thing I would suggest is that you don’t need to color the entire text, just the dialogue that’s being said. Entire blocks of back and forth white and red is distracting a whole lot.
[Mechanics] | 9 | 8.5 |
-Winterhair- just a couple mistakes.
[Clarity] | 8 | 8 |
[Wild Card] | 7 | 7 |
Yari, welcome back! Good work. Winter, way to take the death like a man.
