Talk:BORDERLESS: Chapter 2/@comment-4080028-20140610073709

Hmm... Not bad, this is the 2nd chapter after all, so I shouldn't expect too much. If anything, I only saw one of Zoro's moves being used, so it didn't bother me as much as it may have bothered others. The only thing I find odd is that Sorin would know the exact same move as Zoro when neither of them had ever met. Just feels like too much of a stretch to me.

As for the fight, well... It wasn't bad, but it felt odd to me. Like, I couldn't get all that excited over it. The first elbow slam Satsui gives Sorin and then the Hundred Tile True Punch didn't have the effects I was expecting them to have. Likewise when Satsui received Sorin's first few hits. It looked more like two robots were fighting rather than two men. They could just soak up as much punishment as they needed and keep going until they got enough damage to finally bleed or gasp for air.

Eh, just a preference of mine. I'm sure other people may have felt differently about this. To me, it just didn't feel like there was any genuine effort between the two and that they were beyond superhuman as it is. Plus, I didn't really like seeing Sorin call it quits near the end. It felt more like he was giving up rather than taking the high road, which I assume was what you were going for. Guess I'm just used to seeing two dudes fight until one is on the ground; bloody and unconscious. I will give Sorin credit for knowing when to fold them though. That takes real smarts and guts to admit when you should back down. Just wish it didn't look like he lost interest and gave up to me.

I did however enjoy the Frenzy Strike attack. Thought that was pretty cool. Satsui seems like an awesome fighter so far. Was also surprised to see Sorin using Two Knife Style. Wasn't expecting that in the slightest. Guess he was born into the Majin's warrior caste? Or did he come across the fighting style through unorthodox means?

Anyway, the fight was pretty quick in my opinion; especially for one that was being built up to sound like a big, important deal. As I said earlier, this chapter and the fight weren't bad at all, as I've clearly seen worse before, but it's just not something I wanted to see. I admire the effort you're putting into your story though. I mean, at least you're attempting to write up chapters and keep the wiki amused with stories of your characters. That certainly accounts for something in my book.
