bounty hunter merc' touney Beatboks v Decoy

OK missed the part about knowledge of weapons. So MicNinja is aware that his stealth is insuficient. Changing tactic. Still start with taking out the lights (my only real advantage) to close the distance. But will monitor and lure McNinja into the best possible position for attack. That position will be in a secluded alley with plenty of trash tins. Use the battle staff to set up a magnetic attraction field around Mcninja so that all the metal in the alley assaults him for me (again only have this ability for this match). I make this assault from a distance so I have a chance of escape if McNinja heals quickly since he's aware of my abilities.

Await reaction Decoy

Never doubted it but there is the 3 blocks distance between them at the start to consider. With his infra red and magnification plus the omni mic capabilities in his mask Mark will be able to close the distance and choose where they first encounter. He should even know if Mcninja is aware of his presence or location due to changed heart rate or other similar tells.

I don't see how he's dodging a metal attack if the metal is magnetically attracted to him because he's been charged by a magnetic pulse. If he moves to dodge it it's going to change direction toward him. The reason I chose an alley full of trash tins in the first place is so it wold be a multi pronged attack

before I have to resort to h2h. In which Mark is certainly no slouch. He's faced a few opponents who verge on enhanced capable fighters like Catman (one of his many battles with Catman was without his kevlar armor)and Dumas (Dumas is a trained martial artist with over a centuries training, shape shifter with healing factor)

Yeah I've made about 13 edits to correct but each time seem to be getting a completely different page attached to the one I'm trying to copy> I think I know have all but the 2 to the middle statement correct. For some reason it's only seeming to put up the correct image if I completely log out of photbucket between each copy. otherwise i'm constantly loading the same image. About to hopefully fix last 2.

damn that was painful. anyone have an idea how I get back the last hour and a half of wasted life (trying to link 7 lousy scans). At my age I can't afford to expend that much time, I don't have it to spare

Anyway you also need to factor in Dr.McNinja's speed.
(Kills four goons in about three seconds)

Which is precisely why I'm not planning on getting close enough to him (unless I absolutely have to) for him to get the drop on me

An Alley is a pretty confined place. The distance between McNinja and the metal cans isn't going to be great. If they're already moving in his direction and he swiftly moves right they just turn right but are still as close when they turn. I don't see how he's going to dodge and say get to the top of a building overlooking him or some such. A magnet on metal is more is going to work better than a target locked or heat seeking missile. Unless McNinja can somehow get close enough to a magnet that's more powerful he can't dodge them.

As for Catman and Dumas being caught by surprise, both scans were from the ends of their respective issues (page 19 and 20). In issue 4 the fight with Dumas started on about page 12 while Catman fight started on page 15. They both knew what mark was capable of. Dumas was caught a little by surprise since he was Mark's prime enemy and thought he was shielded from the pulse, this being teh first time Mark had created the field around someone else. As for training. Dumas is a couple of centuries old and has trained for most his life.

Yes but those arrows weren't attracted to him. If he moved they didn't change direction and move with him. This isn't someone throwing things at McNinja, it's someone who's hit him unknowingly with a force that has made McNinja his own enemy. McNinja is the one attracting things. He could very well be attracted to the building if he goes after Mark (slowing him down and the tins are still following him. My point was for McNinja to dodge something he's actually attracting to him by his mere presence he's have to be able to get far enough away from all the metal to break the attraction field. The confined makes this harder. If the flash were made a magnet and small metal filings were near him he wouldn't be able to dodge them (something larger yes he could simply run fast enough that the force of magnetics on the metal was less than the force of gravity on it) because the filings would move at his speed in his direction wherever and whenever he changed it. Unless McNinja's speed is supersonic or greater He can't simplty "avoid" somehting He's attracting.

Dumas didn't expect the magnetic pulse to work on him because he expected Mark to use it the same way he had in their other encounters, as a simple energy attack. mark had come up with a new approach, to move the magnetic field and charge Dumas making him a magnet. He didn't know that was an application that Mark would use. Mark's arch enemy who knew how Mark usually fought (and had bested him before) didn't expect him to use his weapon that way. Someone with basic knowledge of his weapons but not his methods is going to fair no better.

If McNinja starts heading to the top of the building Mark uses another pulse to propel himself in the air, or leap to another building.

Never said he'd be faster. Said that's Why i wanted an attack from a distance. If Mark's four or five stroies (or more) away from the action he can make a clean get away once McNinja makes a move toward him. he may have even started once he pulsed him and simply monitored him from afar with the onmi mic. Worst case scenario McNinja starts getting too close, Mar's made him a magnet so he ste;s the Baton to the opposite polarity and as fast as McNinja comes too him mark moves away (courtesy of McNinja's own speed).

It's after midnight here and I gotta work 2morrow catch on theflip side.
