I never state to stop at 5ft in my post, rather I say Kobachi would appear in front of Spadez and with Spadez still in range that means it is still possible for Kobachi to strike him. You then go on to say Kobachi would need to stop at 5ft to hit Spadez, but again Kobachi didn't target 5ft or that general space he would move to appear in front of him. Kobachi would have stopped at 5ft, but just like how Spadez reacted to Kobachi's movement, Kobachi reacted to Spadez's and continued.

Lets say I completed the 8 gates training in the land of sound in my other thread, I wouldn't be able to use them in this one, because it was already started. But I can't seem to find it, so I guess I'll bring it up to another staff member to make it after this thread subsides.

Poncho wrote:Then about this exaggeration bit. Just like you got on me, I will get on you about details.   "His stance already lowered, in a flash he would move at full force much like he promised, as the older male made his comment about him jumping for joy." I state to move in a flash, which of course I can't move at the speed of light, but that is considerably fast. Then considering there is only 5 feet in between me and you, yeah bringing your hands to the handseal is easy, but you have to have the reaction time for it. And five feet of space and with someone moving at a Taijutsu master speed won't provide you with ample reaction time in my opinion. But in case that isn't good enough for you. "Their speed compared to that of others who do not have any skill in this area is quite amazingly fast, they are a complete blur for other, still somewhat visible, yet hard to actually do anything about without a Mastery in some other Combat Spec." That's a bit from the Taijutsu Master description from the Combat Skill System page. The bold part is showing that without Mastery in a certain combat spec you will have a hard time doing anything. Then lets be reminded you only have 5 feet worth of space and you don't have mastery in weaponry which is the spec that gives you perception or accuracy, what you need to properly react to the strike.

Poncho wrote:Then to add to that the typical human wingspan or reach is half the size of their body, so with Kobachi being about 5`7 I think that's 67 inches. So his reach would be roughly 33 inches(2`9). So actually I only have to travel 27 inches to hit you. Then there's more. This is a bit from Ninjutsu Masters "They can easily do a ton of seals before a Basic or less can punch them, a couple of them before an Adept could punch them and maybe one or two before a Master could punch them. Their hand seal speed equals the speed of Taijutsu Masters. This is Ninjutsu Adept. " same as the level of speed at which Taijutsu Adepts move, they can complete series of seals before a Basic can punch them and a seal or two before an adept punches them." Be reminded Kobachi is a Taijutsu master, meaning by the description in the systems, Kobachi could jab you at the least 2 times, with that said, I'm preeeeeetty sure Kobachi can close in that small 27 inches and hit you before you could react properly to make the handseal. The amount of space is just too close even though the handseal is that simple. And this is only relevant if you are still wishy washy about the first bit about Kobachi's movement being continued even though you moved back.

Poncho wrote:OOC: show me where it says I would stop my dash after 5ft. If you cannot find that, then from my "lack of detail" kobachi will appear in front of you like it says in the post. Just like you respond to my movement, I respond to yours, an like the post says kobachi would appear in front of hi target and the target is still in range.

Poncho wrote:Then yes it says it will be hard without mastery in a certain spec. I'm not sure if you are getting kobachi is moving in a blur, jut like your handseals. Given 5ft how would you see a blur begin its movement and react in time. You weren't shocked, amazed, nothing you just act as if the movement was completely normal and like I didn't nearly vanish out of sight. And to ba to it it the movement was as you were talking. not even startled the slightest bit. To react fast enough you would have to key on to the smallest amount of movement right when kobachi would first move and with the mode of travel being a dash I didn't take five steps an I don't know who takes five steps to walk 5 ft or where you got that. Then to give comparison the fastest man alive can run 100m in nearly 10seconds. That iRL no chakra and stuff and is almost 1m per second. To say I can't clear 5ft in 1 second seems unlikely. Maybe a little crazy but unlikely.
