Deadly Opponent

[Inoryu]

Support Issue: Combat
The Issue: So I found this jutsu in the art of throwing and it sounds interesting, but could someone clarify its function? Can someone give an example of how this jutsu should be worked in combat, please?

Deadly Opponent
Rank: "B"
Skill: TaiJutsu/Supplementary
Effect: A throwing specialist gains the ability to deny an opponent movements while sacrificing their own in melee combat.
Special: ---
Drawback: Can only be used once per round.
Description: The Throwing Specialist is skilled in combat to deny an opponent the chance to attack them. This technique allows the user to remove 1 movement from an opponent in melee combat, at the expense of 1 movement of their own. The target of this ability must be declared at the start of a combat round.
Limit: Must be a Throwing Specialist. Must have Mastered The Art of Throwing.

In my understanding, which is most often incorrect, it works like this in a PvP battle...

Player one gets attacked but survives...declares the aggressor as the target of the deadly opponent jutsu. The next round the agressor attacks with his sword for two movements. Since player one declared the aggressor with deadly opponent, player one has the option to deny one of the target's movements in exchange for using one of his own allotted movements. He gets to decide which sword attack is denied, the first or second, and this can potentially open up the aggressor for a counter attack at that moment. Is this a correct utilization of the Deadly Opponent jutsu?

sounds like you spend a movement to take a movement from your opponent. you both lose a movement for the round. i don't think the application would be so in-the-moment as that would require erasing someone's spent movement as opposed to just, stripping them of a future movement. can't undo a movement that's already been spent but you can prevent them from spending one in the future.

Ah I see, makes sense, thank you Neko. If no one disagrees, this can close. That's pretty clear.

the question is, if two different characters do this on the same target, would that target lose 2 movs total?

It's a glorified interrupt... Someone attacks you with taijutsu attack, that use single or multiple movements, you use this to deny those movements. Being that this is a Throwing specialist tech you'd need to actually throw something during this to get the effect, as it is an effect that is added on to your throwing capabilities. No Star it would not stack.

By all accounts... it's just better to learn how to interrupt actions.

I see, thanks for the advice!
