[Taijutsu] Flicker Strike [Nomura, Katsuo]

[Hironidin]

Name: Flicker Strike

Rank: C

Type: Taijutsu

Description: A viciously fast technique, the user unleashes an very quick and accurate strike at his enemy. Charged with a burst of stamina, when the arm is unleashed, it moves at speeds far beyond that of the user's and lashes out so fast it leaves a whip like blur in its wake. This technique can also be used to kick and so forth. Strikes using this technique cannot be done consecutively as the strain is too severe.

Creator: Nomura, Katsuo

Training Time: 5

Every time you say "object", are you meaning to say "item"?

[Hironidin]

Same thing, or it could mean the thing that's going to receive the ability if you'd like.

Edit: Ah, well the second one should anyway, fixed the first.

So that, except no actual fusion with people/items, just a transferrance of abilities, amirite?

Cuz if so, it seems balanced enough to me. Rank-1 as opposed to what I just linked, but you don't get to actually fuse things together. *shrug*

Did I get it right?

I presume chakra cost is 1 C-rank to transfer an ability once, and then no maintanence cost thereafter?

[Hironidin]

It can copy abilities of low ranking items, i.e make two out of one, not just transfer.

... is the explodyness of an exploding tag a special ability?

and yes, you're correct on the cost and maintenance.

[Yuki Aisu]

Gotcha.

And no. XD I don't think so. Or rather, I don't really think that'd be fair.

[Hironidin]

Removed the ability to copy D ranked item abilities. Now its only for slotless things.

[Yuki Aisu]

...And what slotless abilities would we be talking about here?

Exploding tag explodiness? ANBU sword's glowing ability? What sorta thing are we talking about?

I'd have approved it before you weakened it and made me worry about what things you were gonna deal with.

[Hironidin]

I would like to do tags to be honest, since I'm not certain if the tag is in itself explosive, like a smoke bomb is full of smoke, and not an ability of the paper's. Anyways, no to other equipment since those aren't abilities. The main point of the copying was to replace items of mine broken in the field. My rings for one... and only... I'll think of something

And naturally no to things I wouldn't be allowed to have OOCly like the anbu's sword.

[Yuki Aisu]

Well that's the thing. I really don't want this to be able to copy 'explodable' to other items, much less transfer. =/ Could you imagine?

"So guys, the house now has the properties of an exploding tag. ^^ *casts Kassei* *whole house blows up*"

Too abuseable. >__<

[Hironidin]

I imagined that size was relative in those kind of matters. So it would be a section of the house the size of the tag.

Anyways, tag or not, It doesn't matter if its whats standing in the way.

[Garzett]

Too abuseable.

I'm going to have to agree. Something like this could literally emulate the effects of virtually anything onto another object.

For this to work, there's going to have to be quite a few clauses... and I can't exactly think up any that prevent abuse offhand.

[Hironidin]

Changed it.

[Yurane]

So, basically...

Taren-Panchi (Multi-Punch)
Rank: C
Description: The ninja will release a barrage of fist blow, seeking not to strike as hard as possible but rather as much as possible, each strike weak on its own but together a powerful flurry.

[Mishio]

Okay, at first glance, this looks like a more powerfully worded/versatile version of the global technique multi-punch. There are also several things wrong with the terminology/vocab.

A Jab (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jab) is launched while the hand are up, about the same height as the shoulder when you launch. Bringing your arm down to your waist makes it impossible to use Pronation, which is one of the jab's defining traits. I'm not entire sure what kind of punch you mean, but you might want to do some research on that.

I also think you're underestimating how much power you lose from making so many consecutive hits at that speed: the necessary retraction of each strike will create reverse momentum which will work against you. Seriously, the only way you'd probably be able to actually hurt your opponent with so little power is by hitting a male opponent in the gnads.

Kicking would be even worse. The only way you'd be able to strike more than one area without putting your foot down would be to constantly change the position of your knee, which is not only pretty darn difficult, but next-to-impossible to put any power behind without losing your balance. At least with punching you have both legs on the ground.

Impracticalities aside, this looks way more powerful than the global.

*noms mushy anvil*

[Hironidin]

You may have over thunked this a bit... I guess "jab" threw you off? Anyways, you've frightened me enough to simplify it and perhaps explain better what I envisioned.

Also yes, I should hope its more powerful than that global. How do you use something so vague as that as your standards anyway. Its one of those taijutsu techniques that you could just do without knowing it, which is hardly something you should be comparing and balancing other jutsu to.

[Akayuuki]

no, its not something you can do without knowing it, yes you can punch faster without good strength output, no you cannot have the same effect of that jutsu, without that jutsu, and just because it is a custom, does not mean it can be any stronger than ANY other technique. Now, for your technique, your going to have to slow down on some of the extreme wording your using there, and maybe follow the same wording that Multi punch is using.

Also, mish, were ninja, balance means nothing when it comes to strength, seeing as how we can firmly plant our selves to the ground with a single finger, or through the use of kinobori, you can't really bring that much real life mechanics into this world. Yes the basic stuff still applies, but only in certain circumstances.

[Hironidin]

I disagree. I think you can. Its like not being able to do a suplex or an armbar without the techniques

Removed 'insanely.'

actually logic and common sense kinda apply still. And really, how are you supposed to balance yourself with kinobori when you are smacking something hard enough that the ground is breaking up/giving way when you are trying to firmly plant yourself on it?

[Akayuuki]

well i didn't say with SHIN i just meant in general lol if your attack isn't tearing up the ground, balancing on a single toe wouldn't be all that hard with kinobori as long as the ground was intact.

[Garzett]

This seems fine. Just remember that this is still only a C-rank. RP it reasonably.

Approved.
