I didn't mean an Attack Post. It isn't an issue, I just want to try and keep the posting order as consistent as possible. </blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>Alright I follow. I thought you meant an attack post since, well, anyone can do an interjection post anytime.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Further, what exactly is the throw he is doing? Is he flipping him over backwards, twisting him to the side, what? The post is somewhat vague about that. Is he on Deathstrokes front, back or side? Is he twisting or flipping or dragging him over? I know the post said a twist of the hips, but that could - in this circumstance - mean anything. So what, precisely, was the aim of the grapple?<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>So, looking back, it is slightly vague, but Nightwing is coming while Deathstroke's back is turned. So he's coming from Deathstroke's back. The twist of his hips. I'd intended that to be left or right since you can't really twist your hips forward or back. If you do that, then it's like a hip thrust or something other thing.<br/><br/>And the aim is throw Deathstroke off balance to throw him against the ground<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">How does Nightwing know that this guy fought Batman? The armour obviously isn't familiar to Nightwing, so why would either he or Alfred enter the parameters "fought Batman" into the search history (since I'm assuming that Batman would have on record ANY villains that ANY of his allies had ever fought or heard about, just in case. He doesn't strike me as a "I only document who I've fought in the past" type of person)? There are a lot of people in the DCU that could be in that armour that happen to be roughly that height and with that strength. Also, given The Commanders six-year absence, it seems like a bit of a leap to say that these two are connected somehow, even for Alfred.<br/> </blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>Honestly? Nightwing doesn't know. He made a guess. But I'd had Dick feeling serious deja vu earlier in the scene, so it seemed a logical leap tat he'd focus on villains he (or batman) fought in the past.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">So tell me...besides being thrown to the floor, when has Nightwing been able to spar properly with the newly returned Deathstroke to start recognising his style? He jumped on, got thrown off and then slowly got to his feet again. That doesn't strike me as nearly enough to ascertain his fighting style. Plus, it was 13 years ago. Are you suggesting that 'Stroke's style hasn't changed at all over the last decade? Because even Batman's style evolved and changed over time.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>If someone kicks your ass, you remember what it feels like when they kick your ass. I know that seems coy or whatever, but no, that's my legitimate answer. Even if styles change, there is a way people fight that doesn't. Dick uses a thousand different fighting styles, but Deathstroke would probably recognize 'Oh yeah, the kid that jumps around everywhere is every acrobatic'<br/><br/>In a similar sense, dick would remeber a very pragmatic and efficent fighter with wnhanced everythings<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Except the military outfit that The Commander wore was a bandolier jacket, kevlar and like a black ski mask. Very basic terrorist-esque stuff, with black visor-shade-things covering his eyes (eye). That looks nothing like the full on battle armour that Stroke is wearing now. I mean...his gear looks more like Master Chiefs stuff than it does a normal soldier.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>Oh see I din't get that. You were talking about how it was an unfinished suit of armor, how it was missing pieces, and it made it sound like it was still a mostly normal looking military outfit with a few pieces of flair.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Except this is an Alternate Universe, and Deathstroke has just come back from a bit of a hiatus so he's still feeling out whether he's rusty or not. Plus, in the comics, DS is already very well known, so his name would likely inspire fear/respect/caution/etc. He wants to build his name up again a bit before starting the grandiose grandstanding. As I've said before, both Aquaman and DS have rather different histories (in the grand scheme of things) in this Universe as opposed to the comics, so their personalities aren't going to be exactly the same. And at this point in time, DS wouldn't give his name out to people all willy-nilly, especially if he might have to fight them in future since them knowing about him inherently decreases his advantage.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>Then please emphasize that. Because your backstory for death stroke does not suggest that. It reads very close, especially the timeline, to what happened to Deathstroke in the comics.<br/><br/>But, and I think this is the main point, does Deathstroke revealing his name make the scene worse? Because I really don't think it does.
