Neo League 201 - #225: Xiangfei vs Sakura

Description: Xiangfei and Sakura get dirty! ... By shoving each other down into the mud. Geez, what'd you think I meant? (Winner: Sakura)



Todays League Fight takes us someplace a little different! Well.. Actually it isn't all that different in terms of location, it's no famous landmark, and it certainly isn't outside of Japan. It's just a simple forest, in a fairly unpopulated area on a brisk weekday afternoon. Trees still void of leaves, there's plenty of sunlight for everyone, and it's apparent that it was raining not long ago judging by how wet the ground is and some water still dripping from the naked branches.
So yeah.. Someone was probably going to get real dirty, real quick.
Li Xiangfei wasn't exactly thrilled about that, so instead of her usual apparel, she sports gyey sweatpants and matching hoodie with an old pair of sneaks she'd been holding on to for such an occassion. But other than that she was pretty excited, it'd been a bit since her last intense chess ma- Er, I mean fight with Sakura had been. And this was the very same spot she had fought Chun-Li some time ago, it's all pretty nostalgic. Nostalgic and inspiring, for her quest to perfect her style and become the Strongest Woman in the World still continues!!!! Well.. Right after she tries to beat her high-score on Bust-A-Move on her N-Gage, of course, she leaning against a tree as she waits for her almost always tardy opponent!

Sakura has little if any idea of the significance of this locale; she just knows it's wet. Hella wet. And as such, she has dressed accordingly - in her gym clothes, with a a track jacket and matching pants to keep the moisture out, if not the cold.
And Sakura seems to be a bit affected by the chill, as she's curled her arms about her as she walks up, accompanied by her close friend Kei, walking along behind her with an umbrella just in case. "Are you sure you--"
"Heck yeah, I'm sure! It's just a fight, I'm not gonna catch cold, mama!" Kasugano glances back at Kei over her shoulder.
Just long enough for Kei to punch her in the cheek.
Not like it -hurts-, but Sakura still stutter-steps anyway. "C'mon, it'll be fine! Xiangfei and I fight all the time..." She stops as she nears the ground, glancing around. "Now... where =is= she?" She looks for a moment, and finally finds Xiangfei. "There you a..."
Sakura rests her hands on her hips, mindful of the cameras and crew, as she stares at the Heavenly Hip-Hop Honey. "... hey, are you gonna fight or what?"

W- Woah!! Did you see that?? Where Xiangfei comes from, (that is, the mean streets of Chinatown), that'd be called getting OWNED. Just... Just dag, yo. Luckily though, our chinese fighter is busy racking up points, and doesn't notice, and as such doesn't get to laugh and laugh.
*squeep beep* 'Piko!!' *chirp chirp* Xiangfei's twisting and fingers just move hella fast, even as she pushes herself off of the tree and faces Sakura.. Sort of, "Oh ho ho, oh Sakura, your mind is so simple.. This fight has already started, and I am winning!" *quack quack* "I am already defeating you with my mind, ahead of you in the battle of WITS! .... Oh snap!" her fingers suddenly move even faster, her brown eyes widening. And uh.. Well, she said the fight had already begun.

COMBATSYS: Xiangfei has started a fight here.

But... Xiangfei isn't even, y'know, looking -up- at her? That's kinda...
"That's kinda -rude-, y'know!" spurts Sakura, at the notion of Xiangfei playing a video game while -fighting!- Not to mention, starting right off with an insult! "I guess I got no choice, then!"
"Sakura, wait!" shouts Kei from behind her...
But there's no stopping Sakura once she's already surged forth into motion! "Here we are, just 'bout =equal=... and you won't even drop the game?!" Sakura is just a bit piqued!
And it -should- be obvious, as the Taiyo schoolgirl vaults into a flying leap at Xiangfei! Her aim here is to knock the bejeezus out of the young woman with a revolving kick -- then kick her again another two times! "SHUNPUUUU KYAKU!"

COMBATSYS: Sakura has joined the fight here.

And the fight starts off with a bang! Xiangfei would have expected nothing less from the famous Sakura Kasugano, HOWEVER, while she may have been insulting her opponent, she wasn't saying anything that wasn't true; as revealed by her awesome defense, "Rude, eh?" Xiangfei replies, "Well, looks like I'm still ahead then," her right hand swings free, using her palm to strike hard at the first foot, which knocks her clear from the other two that follow, still staring at the screen, "Drunken style is all about psyching out and frustrating your opponent! So as you can see, it totally worked,"
The chinese girl waggles her eyebrows, tossing aside her N-Gage atop her discarded panda bookbag, "Now that I've revealed my secret, the -true- test will begin, lets go!" and that said she dashes back at Sakura, thrusting her palm out to try and slam Sakura in the gut; and that's followed up with a punch with her opposite hand, "Hat- HYAH!" ... "Who's your friend?"

COMBATSYS: Sakura blocks Xiangfei's Quick Punch.

Sakura           0/-------/------=|=------\-------\0         Xiangfei


Landing from her kick in a low crouch, Sakura springs backward in anticipation. "... Oh, that's Kei!" she announces, swerving to the side and curling her arm to take the punch. Apparently, she won't be annoyed and frustrated any more. Her moods are quick!
"... Hey, it's not really 'drunken style' if you aren't drunk, is it?" She grins a bit, hopping off to the side with a grin. "Or if you're -spilling- your secrets to your opponent at the start of the fight..." She raises a finger to her lip, feigning surprise.
"Or... if you have no =style= to start with?" All this time she'd been dancing about, acting evasive and hopping about along the muddy forest floor, but with that last sentence, Sakura snaps out with a high snap kick to Xiangfei's sternum. "HYAAA!"

COMBATSYS: Xiangfei interrupts Strong Kick from Sakura with Ryokuchi Kou'en.

Sakura           0/-------/--=====|====---\-------\0         Xiangfei


"............... What?" Xiangfei noticed Sakura was yapping away, trying to be all cool and philisophical, but the chinese fighter isn't all that impressed. Well, she's not impressed because she's a little embarassed, rubbing the back of her head, "W.. Well, Chin-sensei said I didn't have to be..." a hint of sheepishness in her tone- "But anyway!"
Sakuras kick lands, but Xiangfei throws her arms around the offending leg, and twists sharply to the side to slam the schoolgirl down onto the muddy surface, "Hah!" and after, she hops up and stomps onto the girls side, using her as a springboard, "That's the test," she then adds, "If it works even if I told you, I'd have mastered the style! Aaaah ha ha ha!"
.... "Hi, Kei!"

Owned.
"Wh--" Sakura doesn't even -get- to say much, considering Xiangfei just stuffed her and all, shoving her down into the mud. Not that the tomboy -really- cares about that -- Xiangfei's just helping to give the schoolgirl some focus!
Even still, that smarts! Coughing, she pushes back to her feet, slinging mud around in the process. "I'd say you were fighting dirty, but that should go without saying!" Laughing, the schoolgirl curls both hands behind her, grinning madly.
It may be bright out still, but there's no mistaking the bright blossom of energy sprouting into existence between her palms. "Well... let's see how good you've gotten, then!" And lest there be any doubt as to Sakura's intentions, the schoolgirl thrusts her hands forward, unleashing the ball of blue flames at the ex-waitress! "HADOOOOOUKEN!"

COMBATSYS: Sakura successfully hits Xiangfei with Medium Hadouken.

Well that ain't good. Desptite all her talk about drunken-style awesome, there was one rather important factor Xiangfei had forgotten to put into her arsenal- Dealing with Fireballs. Yes, there's usually her normal Nanpa retaliation, but she goes for something different, recognizing the motion for the fireball, she shifts to move out of the way, and unfortunatly things don't go as planned, and now its her turn to have a little mud fun, landing hard on her butt and sliding back from the impact, "... W.. Wait, do over, that doesn't count!"
The kung-fu fighter protests, she holding her palm outward then tightens said hand into a fist, "Rakansen!" when her hand opens again, to the normal eye, nothing happens. but to the trained eye, perhaps they can see a copper yen coin whizzing toward their head like a ninja star!

COMBATSYS: Sakura overcomes Thrown Object from Xiangfei with Thrown Object.

Sakura           0/-------/=======|=======\-------\1         Xiangfei


"Do =over?= The fight's already begun, Xiangfei!" Sakura can't help but laugh at that! Covering her mouth with a hand, she wags her finger from side to side, tsk-tsking at Xiangfei. "No takebacks!"
But when Xiangfei's hand comes up, Kasugano's already on the defensive. She doesn't change her stance much, but she knows Xiangfei's up to something. Why?
Sakura has a trained eye.
And that's why she can extend her finger-wagging gesture into a flicking gesture, her finger snapping out and sending the yen coin flying back at Xiangfei with an audible *PING!*
Sakura's smile grows really broad for a moment, at least until her eyebrow twitches. "Hey, this wasn't the yen Rugal schooled us over, was it?"

COMBATSYS: Xiangfei negates Thrown Object from Sakura with Thrown Object.

Sakura           0/-------/=======|=======\-------\1         Xiangfei


W.. Woah!! What the heck! Of all ways to counter, Xiangfei didn't see that one coming for a mile away! Luckily though, Xiang isn't so shocked that she can't remember to react, her fist tightens and releases again, an audible *klink* heard as another coin collides at the very last moment, ".. Nope! Uh.. That one was though, crap.."
The Heavenly Hip-Hop Honey drops to a crouch, patting her hand around clumsily for the said -silver- coin, sweatdropping all the while, then pauses, "... Oh yeah about that, I never did get a chance to thank you for helping me then, Saku!"

A rather large bead of sweat rolls down the back of Sakura's head. "... Y.... yeah, sure, I just wish you told me -before- I'd jumped in! Guy's hot a serious hate-on for me now!" Sakura grits her teeth at the memory.
Though... she's a bit disturbed that Xiangfei keeps stalling around. "Hey, quit goofing off! Think of our fans!" Kasugano leaps in once again -- but this time it's with a fearsomely direct punch to the forehead! No taunting, no screwing around, just a roar of "HYAAAAAAAH!" as she closes in for the kill!

COMBATSYS: Xiangfei fails to interrupt Medium Punch from Sakura with Chou Pai-Long.
- Power hit! -

Sakura           1/-------/=======|===----\-------\0         Xiangfei


Goofing off? To the untrained eye that may be what it looks like, but Xiangfei, as always, is planning for something TOTALLY AWESOME. But of course that awesome gets completely screwed over by fate, at the most inappropriate of times.
"Ah haaa," Xiangfei pipes as she picks up her silver coin, and then her eyes gleam, the same gleam as her coin shining in the light, she has no problem taking a strike to the forehead, because she's on her way up with her palm thrusting out at a much lower spot. .. And ends up just short of reach- She never noticed Sakuras arms were longer before, "........" There's a brief pause, and then Xiangfei tilts backward, and falls flat onto her back.

"... whoa." Sakura can certainly get -some- small idea of what Xiangfei was planning, even without seeing the plan come through to fruition! She counts herself extremely lucky to be standing here without, y'know, being in a world of hurt!
But =wow= do her knuckles hurt, as evidenced by her eyes screwing shut and her right hand being shaken rapidly at her side. "Ow... geez, what is your forehead =made= of? Like you've been headbutting your way through brick walls or somethin'..."
Hopping back, she slaps herself lightly in the cheeks. "Okay, sorry, that was mean! But this =is= a fight!" Winking back at Xiangfei, the schoolgirl spreads her hands, and widens her stance, hands sweeping around in circular Tai Chi centering motions. "If you wanna keep throwing your money at me, though, go right ahead!"

COMBATSYS: Sakura focuses on her next action.

[        \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\  < >  //////////////                ]
Sakura           1/-------/=======|===----\-------\0         Xiangfei


Xiangfei sits up, rubbing her head with a wince, her open eye locked on Sakura with a small frown, "Geez, fight or not you didn't have to go -there-," Sakura's a good friend, so she'll be saved her usual 'Enter the Fury' transformation for now! But she's more disgruntled about the direction her strategy fell to. Augh, so now she has to think of something else.
The chinese fighter back on her feet, now groaning at the feel of mud all over her back, she storms at Sakura with a long string of attacks, leaping forward wit a punch to the girls shoulder, followed by another strikes with her opposite hand; and then finally she drops to a handstand, twisting her hips to try and land three spinning kicks at Sakuras waist, "WataAAAAH!!!"

COMBATSYS: Sakura interrupts Heavy Kick from Xiangfei with Shou'ou Ken.

[            \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\  < >  ////////                      ]
Sakura           1/----===/=======|=======\-------\1         Xiangfei


"Well, no, but you hurt my knuckles!" Sakura nods defiantly, lower lip jutting out -- heck, that's =her= excuse and she's sticking to it!
Though... she smiles after a bit. All's fair in kidding around! But the fact remains that Sakura -was- watching Xiangfei this whole time. And the idea of Xiangfei just hauling off and wailing away =had= crossed the schoolgirl's mind.
So when Xiangfei comes in close, Sakura just backs away slowly. Not quick enough to avoid the first strike to her shoulder, she nonetheless stands her ground, weatherng the storm as the successive strike comes in, taking it upon a raised forearm.
But it's when Xiangfei takes the handstand pose that Sakura decides to strike -- charging forward in a low strike to punch Xiangfei right in her inverted stomach before those kicks can land true. "SHOOOOO'OOOOU KEN!"
Left-handed, because the knuckles of her right hand are still throbbing.
She'd undoubtedly continue the rising uppercut through to completion, regardless of how hard she hits Xiangfei in the process. She's sure to have the faint smirk wiped off her face sooner or later... right?

Pretty good move on Sakuras part, she bid her time and struck when the time was right! However Xiangfei would have preferred if that strike wasn't so... Painful. That really hurt! The uppercut knocks Xiangfei right out of her technique, she twisting in the opposite direction and lands on her side, sliding a bit along the mud again, "Rrgh, ow, notfun," she mumbles, she's starting to wear down, but you wouldn't guess it by the way she just gets up and storms forward again, a short burst as she pushes out and lowers her shoulder, looking to slam right into the schoolgirl once she lands from her rising attack and knock her right on the ground, "HAH!"

COMBATSYS: Sakura blocks Xiangfei's Ekisupo.

[             \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\  < >  ///////                       ]
Sakura           1/---====/=======|=======\-------\1         Xiangfei


Sakura lands nimbly upon one foot, just instants before Xiangfei closes in! But... she also hops slightly, allowing herself one moment to regain control just before impact, curling herself up slightly in anticipation. As a result, Xiangfei's strike slams into her, sending her flying backwards -- safely!
Uncurling, she lands once more, slipping slightly in the mud. Widening her stance helps keep her stable, though -- stable enough to grin back at Xiangfei. "You're slipping a bit!"
Though Sakura doesn't feel like waiting all that much longer. "C'mon, make it more of a challenge for me, LiX!" Sakura's being incredibly rude in her taunting, but she really does have the best of intentions -- much like Xiangfei's own 'drunken style' taunt was surely meant to unsettle Sakura and get a better fight out of her. Maybe it can work in reverse?
Kasugano clearly intends to test that theory with a rushing elbow strike to the sternum, followed by a rushing palm strike from the opposite hand. "Hrii-HAAAAA!"

COMBATSYS: Xiangfei dodges Sakura's Medium Punch.

Sakura           1/---====/=======|=======\-------\1         Xiangfei


Xiangfei curses lightly to herself, she was letting herself get frustrated and made a tiny mistake; but luckily she doesn't have to pay for it in blood! "What?" Xiangfei yells back, her eyebrow twitching slightly.
Xiangfei swallows hard, and leaps up and over Sakura in a pretty cool-looking flip, the top of her head just barely grazing her opponents before landing hard on the mud, "Who's the one slipping here? Ain't me!" As for Sakura's taunt; Xiangfei isn't going to let herself get agitated that way, "Good things come to those who wait!" she's sticking with her strategy (or lack theroff). She hesitates for just a moment, waiting for the right moment to be able to grab Sakura by her collar, reel back and give her a taste of the Thunder of the Gods! Or to you lesser folk, a serious headbutt, "HYAAAH!"

COMBATSYS: Sakura dodges Xiangfei's Strong Punch.

Sakura           1/---====/=======|=======\-------\1         Xiangfei


Well, that flip was cutting it awfully close! Sakura pats down her hair while turning to face Xiangfei again, offering an indignant frown of disapproval! "Hey, watch the 'do!" ... Yes, she's kidding.
But when Xiangfei leaps close to try and snag her jacket, the girl nimbly hops to the side. "Ho ho... it sure as heck ain't =me!="
Though.. the =real= fearsome move comes when Sakura whips her leg overhead in a tight circle, aiming to capitalize on Xiangfei's forward momentum in plowing that kick right towards the back of her neck. "Hrii-HAAA!"

COMBATSYS: Xiangfei fails to interrupt Flower Kick EX from Sakura with Quick Punch.

[             \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\  < >  ////////                      ]

COMBATSYS: Xiangfei has reached second wind!

[             \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\  < >  ////////                      ]
Sakura           1/---====/=======|=======\===----\1         Xiangfei


Xiangfei, luckily, is the girl WITHOUT fear! And she ain't never gonna say otherwise! Or.. Something like that. To Sakuras joke though, Xiangfei can't help but laugh, though it is a rather half-hearted one, the girl seeming to be tightening up her guard again. More impressivly, Sakura evades death, leaving Xiangfei grabbing at nothing, "Erk," and for Sakuras kick the follows, the fingertips of her opposite hand curl into a claw-like fashion, and whatever she was up to, she doesn't get to it nearly in time, "Rrgh," the hit to the neck is enough to force Xiangfei to one knee, but she slowly raises again, cracking her knuckles, a brand new fire in her eyes, ".. All right, -now- I'm ready."

Kasugano hops backwards after her kick, putting some distance between her and Xiangfei. And to Xiangfei's renewal of energy, Sakura just flashes the young woman a wiiiiiide smile.
And laces her fingers together, over her head, stretching. "Oh yeah? So you're =finally= entering the fight, then...?" Pivoting to one side, then stretching the other, she finally lets her arms drop, swinging them by her sides in a lopsided, lackadaisical manner.
"I dunno, you =sure= this time?" She points at her nose, grinning that wiiiiiide grin you just wanna =smack!= "Convince me!"

COMBATSYS: Sakura gains composure.

[          \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\  < >  ////////                      ]
Sakura           1/----===/=======|=======\===----\1         Xiangfei


Xiangfei throws a couple of quick punches at the air, and falls into a bit of a different kind of stance than her usual, usually both palms are held out in front of her, but this time she has the back of her hands brought forth. Is she Cat-Fu fighting??
.. Prolly not, "Well all right!" Xiangfei takes it upon herself to close in the distance this time, and again she goes for a string of attacks, spinning around to try and hit Sakura in the side with a backhand, and twists in the opposite direction to fire a barrage of backhands along Sakuras front, "Who-KWAAAtahtahtahtahtahtahtahTAH!" but that isn't all! That assault is then followed by a low foot sweep for good measure, not bad!

COMBATSYS: Sakura interrupts Heavy Kick from Xiangfei with Haru Ichiban.

Sakura           0/-------/--=====|>>>>>>>\>>>>>>>\2         Xiangfei


Sakura's plan worked! "Yeah!" she cries out, tossing out an open hand and beckoning her forward. "Bring it on!"
Of course... she wasn't =quite= expecting the woman to pivot around that way. But no matter -- Sakura braces herself for the impact, taking it with only a slight step to the side. The twisting around is met with some alarm, but Sakura manages to bring her forearms out, leaning into the strikes and taking them head on.
But when Xiangfei whips out that sweep kick, Sakura simply hopscotches right over it. "Not =quite!=" she shouts, driving a lightly-tapped kick right into Xiangfei's shoulder upon landing.
And that's =before= her foot starts glowing a brilliant blue, and before she falls the rest of the to the muddy ground, whirling about by nothing more than her bountiful chi reserves. Her cry: "IKU YO!"
And then, much like the beginning of the fight, Sakura's delivering kick after revolving kick into Xiangfei, reinforced by her bright blue aura. And after five of them, Sakura will rise to deliver a more forceful roundhouse kick to Xiangfei, knocking her back to a safe distance! "HAAAA!"

Pain pain and even more pain! Xiangfei wasn't exactly sure what Sakura would be busting out with this time around, or when, and by the time she does see what's up it's too late for her to really -do- anything about it, ".. crap," the assault of roundhouses is actually pretty incredible, Xiangfei hadn't seen it in a while, and actually she still sorta can't see it since those kicks are keeping her hovering above the ground as they hit her back. And then the final kick sends her reeling, grunting as she forces herself to keep on the move; in fact her hand reaches down, digging into the ground to slow the momentum a bit and then a large cloud of mud bursts behind her, the Heavenly Hip-Hop Honey storming toward Sakura just as fast as she was flying away. Her intent? "You're going to get it now, Kasugano!"
Dealing back all that damage she took, but compacted into one -big- shoulder rush, "HaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!"

One big shoulder rush is a lot easier to avoid than a lot of little ones -- but really, Sakura just doesn't want to get nailed! She can see the familiar warning signs -- they give Kasugano =just= enough time to leap aside and allow Xiangfei to barrel past. "Hup!"
And then... she digs her heels in and comes right back at Xiangfei, grateful she didn't get hit harder! "Well, I'm =waiting!=" She's not waiting very patiently though, as she's leaping to deliver a Chuck Taylor to the head, Hayato-style! "HYAAA!"

Xiangfei doesn't have an easy time coming to a halt after that big move, she does manages to dig her heel into the mud, stomping with her opposite foot to stop just in time to give the schoolgirl an extremely annoyed look, "Hey you know, I was only obnoxious for about a minute, I get the point!" she yells, her cheeks flaring up in embarassment. She crouches just slightly, reading the kick somewhat and she allows it to slam right into her forehead as her opposite hand jabs out just short of striking Sakura once more, much to her disappointment. Her arm lowers, and then with a weak groan she collapses to her hands and knees, panting heavily for air at last as the fatigue catches up with her, "... Geez."

... okay, there's such a thing as overdoing it. And... after landing from her kick, jogging back to a safe distance, well... Sakura sees what happens at that point.
"I..." she stammers, holding out her hand to Xiangfei. The retort cuts her like no punch could, rending straight through to the heart -- and leaving loudmouth Kasugano blissfully speechless.
". . ." she stammers again, no words coming out. Watching Xiangfei struggle to stand, it just... well. Sakura knows she pulled off a major coup in this fight. But more importantly, she ticked off a friend.
Hanging her head, she breathes a deep sigh, rubbing the back of her head. "Sorry." She offers a brief, obligatory smile -- though the faint blush, and the twiddle of her fingers is a more open expression of her true embarassment. "Th...thanks for the fight." She gives a quick bow, then shuffles backwards, averting her eyes from the camera as she turns to leave.
... atypical behavior for the schoolgirl, really.

Xiangfei stares at the ground for a moment, starting to feel a headache coming on; sure the rumors are true, her head is pretty tough! But the pain's gotta catch up -sometime-, but more importantly she had a reputation to uphold, as in having the most dangerous headbutt in the business. Still quite flustered, she actually seems a bit regretful herself for snapping at Sakura like that, particularly when the schoolgirl apologizes.
Managing to get to her feet again though, ".. Anytime." she replies rather quietly; despite the defeat she isn't discouraged enough -not- to fight Sakura anymore of course. But she's got to get her wins back EVENTUALLY against the girl, right? Definatly she needs training, plenty more training! She heads in the opposite direction of the schoolgirl, stuffing her face will help her get good as new in no time!

COMBATSYS: Sakura has ended the fight here.
