The Best Offense/Defense is the Best Defense/Offense
Some do not understand the meaning of Attack Defense because they rather just attack and hope it lands. But in actuality when you attack, you attempt your attack still before you say your character left the attacks and is now in a different area. Your opponent has the right state their counter before you say you jumped 30 feet away in a matter of seconds after your attack.
When you attack, you must keep in mind that as you are attacking your opponent still has to avoid, block, or dodge your attack. So you stating you have attacked with your blade then jumped back to a safe distance cannot be done until your foe has replied to your attack. So what you need to do is use an attack that will give you a proper escape point from a counter-attack. This meaning if you attack with your blade, and you leave an open spot, saying you full force swung your sword at the person's head, they can say they ducked it and thrust their blade at your exposed stomach, your continuing post will not hold up with that actually happening.
- Example:
- Increasing his powers by manipulating his Earth Chakra within his blade it gave him an added amount of pressure causing the blade to being able to slice through a sheet of titanium metal. Seconds later User "A" ran at User "B", closing the gap of 10 ft to only 2 ft, then with a mighty swing, User "A"s blade sails to the ribs of User "B", then after User "A" jumps into the air and lands 20 ft away hoping his attack landed.
Ok, that example is what this guide is referring to. You see, User "A" stated all his actions in the post along with his attack but left numerous amounts of openings that User "B", in their post, can attack. Just because User "A" stated they jumped back 20 ft away after his attack does not have to be followed by User "B" because now you are telling them they can't attack you because you are already in a safe zone. This is what is meant:
- Example:
- Seeing the power increase of User "A", User "B" took hold of his own blade; waiting till User "B" came within range to do his move. Seconds pass as User "B" takes the time to change his footing to allow himself more maneuverability in doing his next action. Seeing the blade sailing at his ribs, User "B" knew the increase in pressure will throw his foe off balance due to its over exertion with effort. Dropping down forwards, to land on all fours, avoiding the colossal blades strike making it gracefully flow above his back unharming his well being, but at that very instance as the blade was out of a dangerous point in time, User "B" looked at the exposed belly User "A", and lunged forwards with his blades tip, regaining his footing, still in a crouched down manner, and attempted to stab the open area.
As you can see the dodge, counter allowed User "B" the time to avoid then attack his foe, not having to go by User "A"s statement of him not being there. You must be able to attack and give yourself time or an escape route just in case counters like User "B" did will not have such a huge effect on you. What User "A" should have done was:
- Example:
- Increasing his power by manipulating his energy within his blade it gave him an added amount of pressure causing the blade to being able to slice through a sheet of titanium metal. Seconds later User "A" ran at User "B", closing the gap of 10 ft to only 2 ft, when with a mighty swing, User "B"s blade sails to the ribs of User "B". Never over powering his movements to toss himself off balance, he moved his left hand to his wakizashi blade handle, creating a spinning motion to the left, since the attacking blade will increase his twist allowing himself the opportunity to draw his blade at the same time to perhaps block a counter attack that may cause serious damage to User "A"s form, and life.
