BattleCON G7 - KingdomAces (Lixis) vs. Zorblag (Ottavia)

[Zorblag]

Good move. I guess I should have anted the 2 priority and changed my target lock, but so be it. You can move then I'll decide where to go.

I need to head out of the house now so I'll have to pick this up again later.

-Zorblag R`Lyeh

[KingdomAces]

Technically you need to retreat first, but there is literally no reason to retreat 1 here. I'll advance 1, to the center.

[KingdomAces]

OooLxxx

Where the x's are the movement options.

(Retreat 1 would change this to oOoLoxx, which is the exact same result except you have less options. (I'd still advance 1 because not moving isn't an option, and retreating or advancing more would be stupid.))

[KingdomAces]

I know that being forced to move when there aren't any squares to move to removes the forced move, but I still find the idea of an Anti-Personnel Burst to the center of the arena causing a ring out and automatic loss amusing.

[Zorblag]

Yeah, retreat 2. I'll think about where I want to go while I'm out running errands.

-Zorblag R`Lyeh

[Zorblag]

Oh, and do you want to switch your finisher?

I will move to the edge of the board. The beat is now edited to reflect that.

Spoiler: Beat 6 Attack Pair

Demolition Shot

You have first Ante.

-Zorblag R`Lyeh

[Zorblag]

Oh, and your priority would have been 11 rather than 1. The target lock didn't hit in the reveal because the anted priority kicks in first.

-Zorblag R`Lyeh

[KingdomAces]

My second thought is always wrong.

Finally

predicted correctly.

[Zorblag]

And naturalizing. So that was a wasted ante. At least I have enough stun guard. You hit me for 2. I'll discard drive. I hit for 3 and then I'll advance 0 to stay in the corner.

Sound good?

-Zorblag R`Lyeh

[KingdomAces]

...and then I realize that I was just assuming Shooter, so I completely forgot about stun guard.

Yeah, that's right.

[Zorblag]

OK, I'm watching a baby now and can't type the next beat up right now, but I can probably choose my next attack pair. You're at 7 health 7 force, I'm at 15 health and 6 force I think?
