THE FIGHT MEME

THE (march) FIGHT MEME



What else needs to be said? Release your inner warrior and partake in some epic (or hilariously bad) battles! Do you use a sword? Are you a martial arts master? Are you a wizard? Can you even fight?

It doesn't matter if you're just having a friendly spar or deciding the fate of the universe. You're suddenly filled with the urge to fight the next person you meet. Cut loose and show off your skills!

RULES

◘ Post with your character! List your fighting preferences if you'd like (Sparring, Death Battles, Anything Goes, etc.)
◘ Reply to someone else
◘ ROUND 1...
◘ ... FIGHT!

Here are some prompts to pick from (or RNG from):



1: VERBAL
Not all fights are physical. Maybe you're just really mad and really loud.

2: WUSSY
This is possibly the dumbest limp-wristed flail fight you've ever been involved in.

3: WITS
Because why would you beat someone into the ground when you can humiliate them with your massive intellect instead?

4: PRIZEFIGHT
There's an audience to watch and a prize at stake that only one of you can walk away with. Best bring your A-game.

5: SPARRING
You're fighting to improve. Whether you know your partner or whether you've
just met, you can be pretty sure you're walking away from this one.

6: GRUDGE MATCH
Your hated rival is in town. It's time for a rematch.

7: BAR FIGHT
Welcome to the mother of all drunken brawls.

8: YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO THIS!
Maybe your opponent is your friend/sibling/love/other cherished person. Maybe
you're a pacifist. Either way, you're in this fight, but you really
don't want to be.

9: TO THE DEATH
This is it. Too much has happened for this to be anything but a fight to the end. Only one of you is walking away from this.

10: OBLIGATORY SMUT OPTION
Hate sex is the best. And some people like smut and some do not.

11: AGAINST THE HORDE
It's you and your ally against many. Demons, zombies, whatever. Rip and tear, until it is done.

12: GODMODE
You and your opponent both have world-breaking superpowers, and frankly everyone would be happier if you weren't fighting. You are, though, and it's awesome, even if there might not be much left when you're done.

13: RANDOM
Your very own personalized scenario.

[ for what it was worth, sandalphon did need to practice. but he wasn’t sure how well this was going to go, given the person who had offered to help. how was this to work, he wasn’t sure. but he did sign up for this. it’d be rude to back out now. so pride be damned, he was going to go through with this.

with an exhale, he steeled himself for the upcoming spar. ]


So, explain to me how this will work once more?

"It is simple." The echidna waved a gloved hand. "We will fight here, away from the field of battle, and by doing so, you will gain the experience you need. As this is training, we shall use only the most basic of weapons, that is, our bodies themselves."

That may not be very reassuring from the guy with fists that looked more than half the size of most people's heads...

[ a more hands-on approach- this angel can definitely appreciate that. wary as he might be with those hands of his, he still has to give it all. he nods, and gets into a battle ready stance. ]

Clear enough. Ready when you are.

As far as Knuckles was concerned, that was all the go-ahead he needed, so without further comment or warning, he simply lunged forward, fist raised for a punch.

Now, it should be noted that Knuckles was, in fact, aware of the importance of holding back in some circumstances. He was quite capable of handling objects without breaking them, and even going less than all-out if a situation merited it. Or simply failed to merit his full power.

The problem, of course, was that for someone as strong as he was? Even 'holding back' meant hitting with a speed difficult for a human to react to, and with enough strength to crack ribs. So while Sandalphon might not be getting hit with the full force of Knuckles' power right off the bat, well. Suffice it to say the echidna was still packing quite a punch.

[ for the most part, he expected a skilled fighter- that was one of the reasons he had agreed to this, after all. but the speed was definitely unexpected. he's thankful for a body as strong as his, as he was able to react and deflect the blow.

... even if he definitely felt the force of that blow. damn, he really does have to step it up here. sandalphon wracked his brain to remember what little hand-to-hand training he had received- even if it was close to a thousand years since he last had to use it (damn his reliance to his sword.)

his best course of action was to try and redirect the energy so the tiny (by his standards) echidna was pinned down. so aiming for the forearm was the best thing he could do at the moment. ]
ampersand_me: (speak with the fist)

wow sandy's one to consider someone tiny...!

[personal profile] ampersand_me 2024-03-13 06:56 pm (UTC)(link)
"Slow!"

It wasn't a taunt, nor was it a boast; merely a statement of fact. Sandalphon may have to think about his next move, but for Knuckles it was almost on the level of instinct. His first swing may have been deflected, but rather than worry about his opponent going for that arm, his other fist was already flying in from the opposite side for a followup strike.

Think fast, angel.
dejabrewed: (not expecting much)

what knuckles doesn’t know won’t hurt him!!

[personal profile] dejabrewed 2024-03-13 09:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[ he hears the comment and grits his teeth. doesn’t he know that already. but he takes that hit hard because he doesn’t react in time. ouch.

he’ll definitely feel that later, but right now there’s no time to worry about if he’ll bruise. his attention needs to be on the fight itself, brushing off the pain with a determined look in his eye. this is what he’s here to learn. despite his lack of experience, he holds on- which works to his advantage when he drives his elbow into knuckles’ chest. ]
ampersand_me: (not amused)

still rude tho!!

[personal profile] ampersand_me 2024-03-13 10:12 pm (UTC)(link)
The counterattack was good, yes, making a nice solid impact. It also wasn't nearly enough to take Knuckles down, which meant it was time to show off both the dangers and the advantages of getting grabby.

Namely, Kunckles grabbed for the elbow himself while twisting his held arm to grab back as well, intending to, well, heave his opponent over his head and throw him. Or slam him into the ground. Either worked, really.
dejabrewed: (that's the situation...)

[personal profile] dejabrewed 2024-03-14 09:47 am (UTC)(link)
[ sandalphon’s inexperience is showing here- he gets thrown very, very easily. but just as easily as he gets thrown, he’s able to right himself with ease. helps that angels are built for moving through the air. but his hold was broken, and he had to think about his next steps- though definitely, grabs are out of the question now. they only work so often, after all.

if only he could think on his feet a lot better when it comes to hand-to-hand. deciding that letting his instincts run their course was the best, he rushes in with a kick at the ready. ]
ampersand_me: (taste my knuckles)

[personal profile] ampersand_me 2024-03-16 01:33 am (UTC)(link)
He should be doing less thinking and more fighting. Granted, that was probably the point of training like this, but that didn't mean Knuckles intended to let up or go easy on him. He was already running at the angel when the kick was launched his way and, well. You know when a good time to grab your opponent would be? It'd be when said opponent left himself wide freaking open with leg extended.

So that would be a grab for the foot with the intent to basically swing Sandalphon into the ground via his own limb, all while Knuckles kept himself at the furthest extreme of the range as possible.

[ oh boy was that a wake up call. the angel was on his back in mere seconds, dazed out of his mind. what was that, he didn’t know. what he does know is the burning anger he feels at being bested so easily- sandalphon scrambles back up to his feet once he’s shaken off most of the dizziness, and simply let instinct take control.

he closes the distance and goes in for a slide kick, expecting a jump- and if he does, a grab at his leg and a throw to the ground of his own. ]
ampersand_me: (three point landing)

[personal profile] ampersand_me 2024-03-17 09:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Were this a real fight, Knuckles would have been on top of him, pummeling while he was down so that he stayed down. But this was a spar, which meant the echidna's job was to teach, even if most that teaching came from the school of hard knocks.

"You leave yourself completely open," he remarked while waiting for Sandalphon to get back to his feet. Though there wasn't time for more than that, as the angel was rushing him as soon as he was back on his feet.

The low angle was at least a little clever, admittedly, an attempt to neutralize the way Knuckles had been weaponizing his smaller, more compact stature. Clever, but not accounting for the fact that Knuckles could simply jump back to land out of range, ready to launch himself with a counterattack of his own.
