OOC: The six round time limit runs out and Maxima drops the Bunker Buster bomb! All I wanted to do in the entire fight was pull off a successful stop against whatever Maxima threw at us. So I blocked Todoh's Fierce Katane Ate to give me 40% super exactly, then focused. That let me resolve (costs 40% super), dm/ex (speeds up my next move by 10%), and went for the Kobi Kyaku reflect. Success! Afterward, it was down to Jiro vs Hotaru. While she keeps pulling her punches on him in spite his encouragement that she give it her all, Kasagi has no compunctions thrashing her. It leaves the girl frustrated in the end, probably mostly at herself.

OOC: A great matchup in a giant ball pit. What is it with Hotaru and fighting in ball pits! ;_; Everyone had to slowdown 10 for this match... which WOULD have seemed like something that would have helped my dodge odds, but I didn't have much in the way of successful reactions.

OOC: Zach has that promised fight with Hotaru for the girl to test how well he does under pressure. Not giving him a break the whole time, she manages to find out that he has vastly improved his self-control. The 'interview' has an interesting interloper, however, in the form of one Todoh!

OOC: This is another match where I felt pretty much out of my league, but it was a great scene and a few lucky failed interrupts on Acacia's part at least made it close. Besides, Hotaru was the evil martian, so it's only proper that humanity prevailed in the end! If I remember right, I got her to 0%.
