He nods, and leaves the Cafe.

"Hm... this'll take a while. I might as well come back later..."

Cell flies away.

Gotta go somewhere, sorry.

Well, all that seems to have gone better than it could've.

@Pastry: It is really noticeable that you never really let your characters take a damaging hit. As for the length of your posts, it isn't prose you need, it's just details; if your character dodges something like bullets completely and with contemptuous ease, you'd better justify it, or you're gonna look like an asshat. Your attacks aren't always explained well or at all, either; everybody in the thread does not watch Naruto, and assuming as much makes you look like an idiot. Lastly, while there is a rule saying don't ignore attacks, there isn't one saying you must fight whomever is in the thread; watch your wording.

@Questor: Ignoring Pastry was not the way; you should've responded to the attack saying whether it hit or not, and informed him, in a civil manner, that you didn't want to fight him.

Re: The prose thing: Combat posts need to be understandable and specific. They do not need to be particularly fancy or eloquent. You can use simple and brief language to describe simple actions; all that matters is that you make yourself understood.

I tend to delve into some "psuedo-prose," if you will, for some of my attack descriptions, but that's really because it can get repetitive typing the same old thing over and over. However, like you said, brevity and clarity are key.

Yeah, I actually meant the rule about being sportsmanlike. I mean, he just said he refuses to fight me, and when I asked him to explain why, he chose to remain vague rather than explaining. He did kind of explain, but only after Micool started to point out what I was doing wrong, which makes me think that he's trying to gang up on me. Sorry.

Anyway, does anybody want to fight?

Cell turned his head.

"Aah, you're still here! That's good! You see, I'm bored and I want to play a little game with you!"

"Of course... it's like a game of tag! The only change is..."

Cell's tail moves a bit. He charges a Ki Attack.

"If I get you, you're dead!"

He fires.

He quickly uses substitution jutsu to dodge the attack, leaving behind a quickly disappearing log.

A voice speaks from behind Cell.

"I'll end your pathetic life right here and now."

He throws a paper bomb kunai at the back of Cell's head.

It's essentially just an explosive kunai.

Cell is struck by the explosion, losing most of his body.

However, he regenerates and flies up to the ceiling, where he had heard something...

@Knowlessman Is it okay using a ponified Giygas? I really should've asked this earlier, but that fight didn't last too long.

Cell suddenly grabs the ceiling with his claws and tries to strike the sniper with his tail, forgetting about his opponent below.
