Friday Night Fights in 2072, Round 3 Options

[DrZaius]

“Hello, and welcome again to Friday Night Fights. I’m Joe Tessitore, and with me as always is Teddy Atlas. We’ve got a special undercard tonight, outside of our normal matches. Teddy, what makes this fight different?”
“Well Joe, for starters, it’s rare that we have two different races fighting each other. Troll-Elf fights are rare, mainly because most elves have some semblance of self-preservation. He agreed to the match however, so I guess he thinks he’s got a shot!”
“Or maybe he knows the Troll has some money on him!”
“Hah, it’s a possibility. Let’s go to the tale of the tape to break it down.”

Not at all.

[AStarshipforAnts]

Excellent.

[IKerensky]

Really good replay.

Luck at the end was deserved considering the bad rolls on previous turns.

Did you consider using Brick Edge sooner in order to act 3 times ?

[Makki]

oh, too bad, no happy ending for the fast and brave Elf..

[DrZaius]

Really good replay.

Luck at the end was deserved considering the bad rolls on previous turns.

Did you consider using Brick Edge sooner in order to act 3 times ?

My plan for Brick was to wait for him to actually be hurt (i.e. no more pain resistance), and then use his adrenaline pump. I used edge when I did with him because I figured I wouldn't have another lucky roll like that, and I should exploit it as much as possible. My thinking with edge going in was to use it in three circumstances; one, as a last resort to avoid getting clobbered (which didn't work out for Twitch); two, to have a massive success (As Brick did), and third (and probably the least likely), when I rolled really poorly on a test that I didn't want to fail (i.e. Twitch only getting 2 on a dodge test or somesuch). In retrospect, it seems like unless you have a small dice pool, it's almost always better to reroll failures. I'll remember that for the future.

EDIT: I didn't answer your question. I felt Brick's edge was best saved for what I had planned; one huge punch to end the fight. It wasn't a huge issue that Twitch was going 3 times to his 2; Brick was absorbing his attacks pretty well.

Heh, I'll try; I'm running out of ideas! I think a 'dwarf fight' could be interesting.
If I do one more fight, I can run this like a tournament, and end up with an eventual champion.

ok firstly, THAT WAS SO FREAKIN AWESOME. I was like on the edge of my seat (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif)

Secondly, i wouldnt mind seeing someother things, like a couple of guys going at it with dueling swords or something, or possibly some of the fighting styles out of arsenal...


please keep them coming

it is. as long as dicepool > edge, reroll is the mathematically better solution

Heh, I'll try; I'm running out of ideas! I think a 'dwarf fight' could be interesting.

what about two dwarf twins vs a troll (enjoying superior position in melee)

I'm considering a Mad-Max style "Thunderdome" for a fight in the future, with weapons and only 1 rule; two men enter, one man leaves. That would have helped my cyberbeast in the first fight, when his opponent was working the count getting up. As I do not own Arsenal & Augmentation at the moment, my gear and fighting styles are somewhat restricted. Glad you liked it!

[Dr.Rockso]

This style of entry would make great explanations/examples for future core books.

[Doc Chase]

Great fight. It went right about the way I figured it would from the discussions yesterday. I think if Brick had been an Ork instead of a Troll, Twitch might've had a better shot at it.

[DrZaius]

A dwarf for the next round of fights. Frankly, I'm not sure what kind of dwarf to throw against him that would have a shot. Maybe I'll make more use of the 'called shot' rules.

Yeah; giving Brick Kamikaze really, really helped. The difference between 3:2 IP and 3:1 IP I imagine is significant. Also, afterwards I realized I probably could have started his adrenaline pump from the get-go; he's got 7 damage compensation from his cyber+drugs, so even when it wore off he wouldn't be winded from it. He'd just pass out when the Kamikaze wore off in 20 minutes. That would make for an interesting run (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cyber.gif) . You don't know time restrictions until you know how hard it is to move a 15 body troll whose just knocked himself out from a combat drug binge.

Working on an Adept with some cyber/bioware.

Question: Platelet Factories + Damage Compensation 3, or Aluminum Bone lacing?
Answer: Went with Aluminum Bone lacing. Let's see how it works out in the fight.

Anyone laying odds? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cyber.gif)

EDIT: Ha! Remarkably similar builds (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I think your stun damage track is low though (8 + Will/2)

[Doc Chase]

Hmm. I'll go with the Adept on this one, but he'll need to throw a lot of head shots in order to win it.

Heh; dropping 10 dice on his attack isn't going to make it easy, that's for sure.

Thanks for the catch! It is amusing how similar they turned out.

Statistically, it would be in your favor to call a shot to add damage (+4DV, -4dp) instead of negating the armor.
Favorably factored it takes +12 dice to offset +4DV for only a loss of 4 dice.
Losing 10 dice to remove his 10 dice is effective, but using only 8 dice to attack is a heavy handicap.

Taking just the called shot for damage sets you even odds attacking (14 dice attack to 14 dice block).

Using this tactic, I put the odds heavily in the adept's favor.

I'm working on it now; we'll see how it works out! The Tank can also call shots, so it's anyone's fight.
