Shunshin images

[Ryutatsu "Sakurai Sword"]

Elemental Shunshin apparently you have limited control on how they appear even with the associated release. I confused this so maybe it should be a footnote somewhere because I thought I controlled my jutsus.

Perfect Loki: it doesn't say you control how it... forget it... this is tiresome

14 Jul 17, 12:13
Tech-Work: either way she should still be confused and distracted

14 Jul 17, 12:12
Tech-Work: its an after image shunshin now

14 Jul 17, 12:12
Perfect Loki: then that would be one thing

14 Jul 17, 12:12
Perfect Loki: if you fired off so little shit lightning tech before doing the lightning shunshin

14 Jul 17, 12:12
Tech-Work: it says I have the control of how it appears

14 Jul 17, 12:12
Perfect Loki: you just used lighting shunshin

14 Jul 17, 12:11
Zetsumei: It is doing exactly what it says.

14 Jul 17, 12:11
Perfect Loki: yeah but you didn't combine any other jutsu

14 Jul 17, 12:11
Tech-Work: I have more useless techs because they don't do what they say

14 Jul 17, 12:11
Zetsumei: You don't have the control over it that you think you do.

14 Jul 17, 12:11
Zetsumei: It follows perfectly, you just refuse it.

14 Jul 17, 12:11
Tech-Work: logic doesnt follow but I am not making a career out of lightning shunshin so I just am gonna end this

14 Jul 17, 12:10
Tech-Work: I changed it but because she is the GM but doesnt mean I am wrong just for this case

14 Jul 17, 12:10
Tech-Work: if he combined kicking up sand and a tech to send sand bullets I would allow it

14 Jul 17, 12:10
Zetsumei: You're still wrong

14 Jul 17, 12:10
Zetsumei: You can disagree all you want

14 Jul 17, 12:09
Zetsumei: Tech

14 Jul 17, 12:09
Tech-Work: I disagree that I can't make small bolts arc away from an image but whatever

14 Jul 17, 12:09
Perfect Loki: he didn't sand shunshin and spray sand bulltets he just kicked up sand and shunshined away

14 Jul 17, 12:09
Perfect Loki: i'ts like need gaara sand shunshined

14 Jul 17, 12:08
Perfect Loki: or eletrical devices

14 Jul 17, 12:08
Perfect Loki: makes it so you can use that versionn of shunshun without wires

14 Jul 17, 12:08
Tech-Work: it was suppose to make a different distraction than a puff of smoke but whatever after imge was the main thing anywyas

14 Jul 17, 12:07
Perfect Loki: having lightning elements with that does one thing

14 Jul 17, 12:07
Perfect Loki: it makes prefect logical since

14 Jul 17, 12:07
Tech-Work: you cant learn that technique until after you learned shunshin zets

14 Jul 17, 12:07
Zetsumei: It's adapting your chakra to utilize the element, it does not give you free control.

14 Jul 17, 12:07
Tech-Work: I am just gonna delete a line even though what you two are saying doesn't make logical sense

14 Jul 17, 12:07
Zetsumei: The purpose of the release techniques is simply to be able to learn the actual techniques

14 Jul 17, 12:06
Zetsumei: Not at all

14 Jul 17, 12:06
Tech-Work: was that not the purpose of that tech?

14 Jul 17, 12:06
Tech-Work: with the lightning release I thought I could basically make and control limited non dmaging distraction bolts

14 Jul 17, 12:05
Perfect Loki: no

14 Jul 17, 12:05
Tech-Work: force the lightning image to arc towards the rod

14 Jul 17, 12:05
Zetsumei: You don't have that much control over it, Tech

14 Jul 17, 12:05
Perfect Loki: force what?

14 Jul 17, 12:04
Perfect Loki: they are mercs

14 Jul 17, 12:04
Tech-Work: he could force it that way to create a false impression wrong?

14 Jul 17, 12:04
Perfect Loki: these people aren't ninja

14 Jul 17, 12:04
Perfect Loki: which i plan to do

14 Jul 17, 12:04
Perfect Loki: if i rp it properly

14 Jul 17, 12:04
Tech-Work: why not?

14 Jul 17, 12:04
Perfect Loki: it's an imagery thing that could give an advantage

14 Jul 17, 12:04
Zetsumei: Correct

14 Jul 17, 12:04
Tech-Work: so he can't make it appear to arc to the rod?

14 Jul 17, 12:03
Zetsumei: Yes

14 Jul 17, 12:03
Tech-Work: okay its a imagery thing

14 Jul 17, 12:03
Perfect Loki: lightning shunshin is neither ranged or an attack

14 Jul 17, 12:03
Perfect Loki: because the lightning rods take in ranged lightning attacks

14 Jul 17, 12:02
Tech-Work: why not?

14 Jul 17, 12:02
Perfect Loki: just not going to work in this case

14 Jul 17, 12:02
Zetsumei: Nothing wrong with that, just as long as it can be used in that way.

14 Jul 17, 12:02
Perfect Loki: that is encouraged

14 Jul 17, 12:02
Tech-Work: it can arc from around him to the rods

14 Jul 17, 12:01
Perfect Loki: won't*

14 Jul 17, 12:01
Tech-Work: I was using old stuff in new ways with how the area was described but eh

14 Jul 17, 12:01
Perfect Loki: just .. it would be arching to any rods

14 Jul 17, 12:01
Zetsumei: It is not considered ranged

14 Jul 17, 12:01
Zetsumei: If the rods specify ranged lightning, then they would not strike the rods

14 Jul 17, 12:01
Perfect Loki: if you want to use both it's fine

14 Jul 17, 12:00
Perfect Loki: v

14 Jul 17, 12:00
Zetsumei: They were not designed to be used together, though you can if you really want to

14 Jul 17, 12:00
Tech-Work: it could come from the ground and still strike a rod all I said was a flash and a boom

14 Jul 17, 12:00
Zetsumei: If it doesn't make sense to hit the after image, then you should not have used the two together

14 Jul 17, 12:00
Tech-Work: I will eliminate the bolt if its that much trouble

14 Jul 17, 11:59
Zetsumei: The lightning bolt for the shunshin would be coming from the ground, not the sky

14 Jul 17, 11:59
Tech-Work: I thought I could

14 Jul 17, 11:59
Zetsumei: Tech

14 Jul 17, 11:59
Tech-Work: a combo of both

14 Jul 17, 11:59
Tech-Work: especially since the place is full of lightning absorbing rods

14 Jul 17, 11:59
Perfect Loki: and which are you doing? After imagine, bolt shunshin variant

14 Jul 17, 11:59
Tech-Work: it wouldn't make sense to have the after image struck

14 Jul 17, 11:59
Zetsumei: v

14 Jul 17, 11:58
Perfect Loki: the bolt shunshin isn't ranged

14 Jul 17, 11:58
Tech-Work: well flair slash distraction

14 Jul 17, 11:58
Perfect Loki: the current is fine

14 Jul 17, 11:58
Tech-Work: it was flair for this as well

14 Jul 17, 11:58
Tech-Work: and the current petals were again set off by him but unless she can see chakra she wouldn't know that

14 Jul 17, 11:58
Zetsumei: It is essentially just flair added to shunshin for appearance sake.

Tech-Work: and the current petals were again set off by him but unless she can see chakra she wouldn't know that

14 Jul 17, 11:58
Zetsumei: It is essentially just flair added to shunshin for appearance sake.

14 Jul 17, 11:57
Zetsumei: It's not a ranged ability, Tech

14 Jul 17, 11:57
Tech-Work: he made it strike the rod

14 Jul 17, 11:57
Tech-Work: Nothing said the bolt had to strike where he was

14 Jul 17, 11:56
Tech-Work: He has bolt shunshin which would cause a lightning strike the bolt was caused by it

14 Jul 17, 11:56
Perfect Loki: shunshin isn't ranged lightning

14 Jul 17, 11:56
Tech-Work: I used my jutsus as the enviroment you had set

14 Jul 17, 11:55
Tech-Work: and the petal earth jutsu uses currents

14 Jul 17, 11:55
Tech-Work: yes you said all ranged lightning would hit the rods

[[Calibretto]]

There are a lot of things you have no control over in regards to jutsu. Even if it makes no impact to the mechanics of the jutsu. Such as the lightning ravem technique cannot make lightning crows even though they are the same size and shape because it calls out the word raven (i may have the bird types mixed but im making a point). In regards to the elemental shunshin its just a visual effect that works as described. No room for toying.

[Ryutatsu "Sakurai Sword"]

It actually makes it a completely useless tech. At this point for it does less than the puff of magic smoke.

[Deleted]

for the record you should post the techs you are talking about so people don't have to dig to help you.

[Madame Loki]

all of the shunshin visual variants are pointless... or useless. They are just there for flavor, window dressing. They don't change or upgrade or down grade the shunshin tech in any meaningful way.

Hell, Crystal has a tech that let's you change the color of your crystal to whatever color you want. Completely useless. It's only purpose is for aesthetics.

[Deleted]

Kyoudo has a shunshin that leaves a stinging static cloud behind it that shocks people who run into it.

[Madame Loki]

That's not what he's talking about.

[Ryutatsu "Sakurai Sword"]

Wait what? What is the name of that tech?

[Deleted]

Nah nevermind. I misspoke
