SNF 2011.11 - SNF: "Waterfall? More like Dragonfall."

Description: What will happen at an SNF fight near a big waterfall? Who will end up falling over the falls? (WINNER: Mr. Jones)



Again with the Jungle Boogie? Haven't we done this movie already?

Though Mr. Jones was elated at the idea of going to tropical Costa Rica to fight, he couldn't help but wonder if the SNF officials were setting him up for a rematch with Blanka. Last time it was in his home turf, so the groovy fighter figures that in this match Blanka will have the home advantage.

Not quite so, as he read the report Johnny Jones found out that he was in fact going up against one the heirs of famous Kyokugen Karate. "Cool!" He would love nothing more than test his Jeet Kune Do against such a devastating martial art and see if it actually works. So far it has done wonders against street fighters and assassins, but how about other respectable martial artists?

Let's find out the hard way, just like Mr. Jones likes it. Following the current down towards the waterfall where the fight will take place, Mr. Jones 'takes a ride' from a passing log and surfs his way down dangerously close to the end of the waterfall, only to jump off the log in the last second and stand in perfect balance on one of the rocks there. Thus Jonesy waits for his opponent, pulling out his afro pick to comb his hair, doing upward flicks to get it all nice and fluffy.

Yuri Sakazaki is eagerly riding down the current as well, but while Mr. Jones might have been casually riding on top of the log, Yuri is grinning and assuming the stance of a surfer's. "Yee-haw! Let's surf it up!" She exclaims as she strikes a few poses while riding down the river.%b%bAll the while, she shows no signs of falling off of it. And it's a good thing too, since who knows what kind of hungry animals might be lurking, eager for a Kyokugen meal.

Yuri waves to those who are watching\, grinning cheerfully as she struts her stuff down the stream. She apparently thinks this is more of a chance to show off rather than just a chance to have a fight with Mr. Jones. But that doesn't mean that Yuri isn't fighting on all of her cylinders. Quite the opposite actually.

When Yuri finally arrives, she does a forwards somersault off of the log and lands with her arms raised like a gymnast. "Hellooooooooo, everybody! I'm Yuri Sakazaki, and I'm here to demonstrate just how awesome the style of Kyokugen Karate really is! I'm gonna show you all how fun and exciting Kyokugen is!" Then she turns to face Mr. Jones and grins even more. "All right, if you're ready, then I'm ready too!" She gets into her fighting stance, bouncing on her heels as she usually does.

"Whoa..." How can this be!? Someone is trying to outperform Mr. Jones!? And a young girl at that!? Why, that would only be the..oh...third time that happens this month. Maybe Mr. Jones tends to attract that sort of people considering his personality, or maybe it's all a conspiracy to get the guy riled up about losing his movie star career and get him to fight harder whilst enraged. Whatever the fates have prepared for the retro fighter, one thing is very clear.

He doesn't like sharing the stage!

"You mean...cowabunga, surfers don't say 'yee-haw'" He offers with a barely audible mutter thinking that he was being original by riding down a log. He is immediately returning to his sunny personality however and looks up to the heir of Kyokugen, shades flashing. "Alright! I hope you're ready! 'Cause don't nobody puts on a show like Mr. Jones!!!" This has turned into more than just a way to test his fighting style against Yuri's, he now wants to outperform her in the ways of pleasing the crowd.

Jonesy doesn't forget his matter though, he bows with his usual palm over fist to symbolize Peace over Power before taking a Jeet Kune Do stance. When he does however, he is immediately charging towards Yuri, leaping from stone to stone showing great dexterity whilst equally making himself a tricky target. As he reaches the karateka girl, he pushes himself with both legs and sends a flying punch at her, aiming to thrust it right on her gut! "WASHOOO!"

"I'm not your typical surfer," Yuri replies with a raspberry. "I'm Yuri, and I do things my own way, and that's how it should always be!" Yuri isn't trying to outperform Mr. Jones, she's just having a good time, what she always intends to do when she's in a battle. Then again, those who know Yuri would know that she's young and spunky, and that's her trademark.

As the punch comes at Yuri, she tightens her abdominals and absorbs the punch, meaning that it's more like a training exercise instead of a real punch. Yuri chuckles and says, "You call THAT a punch? I'll show you a punch!" Yuri then brings her right fist back and is about to throw a punch, when she stops suddenly and attempts to fake him out with a punch from the left instead!

"Hmm..well said!" Yuri's words take Mr. Jones by surprise, his philosophy after all has always been one of having fun when fighting as well. The spunky nature of the girl doing a remarkable job at refreshing the old school fighter. "How petty one can be when swayed by jealousy. I art naught but human I'm afraid!" Wasn't Jonesy's deal that he was a groovy disco fighter? Why is he suddenly talking in old English lingo. Answer: Mr. Jones also does whatever the eff he wants, and that is indeed as it should be.

Except when doing whatever you want extends to hurting others, but that's another story.

"Holy Jumping Christmas Biscuit!" Johnny Jones' classic lingo returns to him unexpectedly when Yuri takes the punch right on her gut and doesn't budge. "You blocked it with your abs!!!?" Colored him impressed. "You is one crazy sista'-EEK!" Once right infront of Yuri however, it's now tha' Jones' turn to defend himself and he also proves to have rather unorthodox styles of blocking. When Yuri's right hook comes, he stands perfectly straight realizing it's a fake only to swing his arm to the side when the real attack comes aiming to ram his elbow right on Yuri's knuckles and give 'em a good crack! "WOOO!

"When you're a martial artist, you learn to toughen yourself up so you can absorb blows easier. It's all a part of being tough! Even in the coolest martial art ever!" Yuri's demeanor seems to be overly upbeat and cheerful, just as it always has been during the fight. She continues to maintain her fighting stance, bouncing on her heels as she prepares to take the next incoming attack however she can.

When the elbow comes at Yuri, she attempts to duck underneath it, but ends up getting hit in the side of her head, albeit just a tiny bit. Her speed means that she doesn't take as much damage as she could've had she been hit directly. Yuri barely shows it as she gets back up to her fighting stance.

"Pretty good, but I'm only warming up!" Yuri says as she cracks her knuckles a little. "Now it's time to really get going!" She exclaims as she brings back her fist and then attempts to send forth a blast of chi at Mr. Jones.

"Okay, hold up hold up hold up." After the elbow connects, Mr. Jones is immediately tacking a step backwards as he balances himself on one leg to not fall off into the current. "Don't choo be trying to school me girlie, tha' Jones is a totally legit martial artist himself. Why, I was down with the funk while you was still wearing diapers." Tch! Jonesy smacks his lips, his arrogance getting the better of him and he haughtily turns his nose up which almost costs him getting his face blown off by a chi blast!

"Oh baby!!" Fortunately chi blasts from that distance are kinda hard to miss, all that lighting kinda attracts a lot of attention you know? Especially with Mr. Jones who likes to stare at shiny flashy objects like disco balls. When Yuri extends her arm to blast him, Jonesy smacks her arm up so she shoots her projectile up to the sky which both misses him entirely and leaves her vulnerable for a counter. "AAAATAAAAA!!!" Since the girl's steel abs have proved too hard for Jonesy to penetrate, he instead swings an open palmed punch right for Yuri's chin and give her jaw a good whack!

COMBATSYS: MrJones successfully hits Yuri with Funky Impact EX.

"You might have been doing the funk before I was born, but first of all, it's not the quantity, but the quality that matters! And second, big things do come in small packages," Yuri says with a sly grin. Unfortunately, that grin is wiped off of her face as the palm strike hits her in the stomach, and unfortunately it's not tightened so she can't absorb the attack like she originall did. She's sent flying across the area and onto the ground. When she pushes herself up, she holds her stomach in pain.

"Ouch... that hurts." Yuri groans a little as she holds her stomach even more. "I think I made a big mistake there." Yuri looks to Mr. Jones and is about to go after him, but then thinks better of it and decides to wait and see what Mr. Jones might be planning next.

COMBATSYS: Yuri focuses on her next action.

Mr. Jones holds his stance for a moment longer after his open palmed funky impact connected, waiting until Yuri lands on a rock where she begins to stand up and relaxes now that he sees she didn't fall off into the current. "You're a pretty funky girl, you know?" Smirks Jonesy, once again finding truth in the girl's words. He fixes the collar of his shirt and starts to casually walk towards Yuri, jumping slightly here and there to keep himself in the stones.

"True as them words, actually that's what I keep telling everyone. Just keep on dancin' and let groove take ya." A soft smile etches on his lips "Maybe you Kyokugen Karate folks know your stuff after all." Seriously considering cross training now, Mr. Jones isn't one to stand there and wait for an opening, he just dives right in and /makes/ his own openings. "WOOAATAA!" Flying directly towards Yuri, it looks for a second that he's going for a leap kick, except he lands right in front of the girl going for the left handed fist to smack her in the side of the head instead!

"You think I'm funky, huh? Well, that's nice I suppose," Yuri replies with a slight smile. "Then again, I never considered funk to be part of my style." Yuri watches as Mr. Jones does his thing, and attempts to get ready to defend herself as he comes in for his attack. Then, Yuri suddenly shifts into a different position, bringing forth an arc of chi around herself while aiming it at Mr. Jones and attempting to knock him away.

It does work, but not entirely. Yuri's hit just as Mr. Jones hits her as well, causing Yuri to tumble to the ground. She rolls back onto her feet and gives Mr. Jones a weak raspberry. "Looks like I got you that time!"

Darn it! More chi blasts!! Jones' feels his body collide against a wall of energy, and though he pushes hard to break through the barrier anyway he ends up getting flung backwards, flailing his arms about to keep his balance "Woawoawoawoawoa!!!" Reaching the edge of a rock, he basically just starts /swimming/ in the air to pull himself back up and not fall into the current, switching from simply strokes to frog style in a desperate attempt to just stay in land. The water is sure to ruin his do if he falls and that ain't groovy!

Finally he manages to fling himself back in with enough force that he's stumbling right towards. "Oh whatever.." He drones out when he sees the raspeberry and swings a kick right at Yuri's jaw, forcing her to bite her own tongue. He can be mean when he wants to that Jonesy.

If there's one thing Yuri hates more than being interrupted mid-raspberry, it's when she tries to counter it and it backfires as well. Yuri's attempt to uppercut Mr. Jones away with her signature uppercut style attack backfires, and she's sent spinning onto the ground, lying in a prone position. She grunts as she attempts to push herself up and rubs it a little, obviously feeling a bit tender with her jaw at the moment.

"You're pretty good, Mr. Jones," Yuri says weakly. "But don't count me out just yet."

In retrospect, Jones hates getting raspberried at which is what prompted his decision to kick Yuri in the chin. Although it was actually more of a love tap as he wanted her to bite her own tongue..not go flying like that, looks like she tried to uppercut him back which caused her to go flip backwards with her own momentum. "Yikes....sorry."

Jonesy waits until Yuri gets back up watching her tremble like that and nods, no grin this time as it'd look like he's taunting her. "I wouldn't! Anybody that can stop a punch with their abs ain't one to be taken lightly!" Why, Jonesy respects Yuri so much at this point that he's not going to take it easy on her. He wouldn't want another warrior to take it easy on him after all. As Yuri gets back on her feet, she'll find that Mista Jones continues with his attack by flying directly at her with both feet extended, aiming to deliver a flurry of kicks whilst in mid air.


"ATATATATATATATATATATATA!!!!"

"Don't be sorry," Yuri says with a weak grin. "It's what fighting is all about!" It's amazing how, in spite of her injuries, Yuri manages to maintain a positive attitude with Mr. Jones. "I'm still ready to go at you!" In fact, you'd be surprised at how positive she's able to remain. Especially with that flurry of kicks coming right at her.

Yuri somehow manages to deflect them away while moving to the side. "Not good!" Yuri says with a shake of her head. "In fact, you just set me up for one of my favorite moves!" Yuri brings both of her arms back, and then shoots them forward literally while shooting a large fireball at Mr. Jones.

COMBATSYS: MrJones blocks Yuri's Haoh Sho Ko Ken.

"Well well, a kindred soul." Mr. Jones comments with a chuckle even as his kicks collide with a block and he sails forward missing most of his attacks against the girl. "Are all Kyokyugen Karatekas this sunny? I may have to check out your dojo sometime." No matter how this fight ends up, Mista' Jay is pleasantly impressed, it's not often he runs into an upbeat individual like Yuri, most of the time his opponents are oh so deadly serious and concentrated on the fight. Don't nobody knows to have fun around here anymore!

Indeed, even as the giant blast of chi explodes towards him, Tha' Jones can be seen smiling as he RAMS his shoulder against it and pushes his way right past it ignoring the burn that leaves on his arm. "Aww man! I can't keep up with that stuff! Fireballs are a bit too jacked up for me!" Whines the retro fighter as he decides to keep with good ol' fistcuffs, because that's the only option he has. "WOOAAA!!" The funky warrior keeps running forward and swinging a right hook to cold clock Yuri on the cheek!

"I'm the one who's mostly sunny. My dad doesn't like it, but I don't care!" Yuri says with a laugh. "It makes things more interesting if you ask me." Yuri still manages to hold her stance in spite of her tiredness. She tries to raise her fists and keep her head up but it's a little difficult. Nevertheless, Yuri steps back a little, waiting for the next attack from Mr. Jones, in hopes she can do something about it this time.

And then, just before the hook hits, Yuri unleashes a blast of chi as she launches into a series of aerial uppercuts, not unlike the dragon punch... except this is several of them in succession without stopping! Of course, the hook does hit Yuri, but she still lands a decent attack at the same time. Yuri then lies on the ground, looking mostly motionless untill she starts to get up again, rubbing at the side of her face. "Oooh, that really hurt...."

"HNFGG!!" There's a sickening crunching sound as both warriors hit each other at the same time, Jones' fist colliding with Yuri's face right after he gets a knuckle sandwich on his chin courtesy of Yuri. "GAAH!" Now it's his time to go flying backwards as he makes a spin in mid air falling flat on his face. The retro fighter lays on the ground for a little bit drumming his fingers, his shoulders shuddering slightly to the start tapping the rock where's he laying down...is he laughing?

"Wow! That was awesome!!" The crazed dance fighter gets up with a broad grin on his face whilst wiping off the blood from his lips. "I haven't had this good of a dance in a while! Whatever training your old man has got ya with is definitely working!"

Jones respects a fighter that can have fun while kicking someone's teeth in. Unfortunately, the way he shows this respect if by attacking them! So as Yuri begins to stand up she'll see Jones walking directly towards her with a big wide grin on his face. Granted he's not one to attack a respectable foe when they're laying down, thus he first waits for her to get back up again taking up his Jeet Kune Do stance. "Come on! Let's dance some more!"

COMBATSYS: MrJones focuses on his next action.

"You still wanna go at it? Now that's the spirit!" Yuri says weakly as she continues to maintain her weak fighting stance. "The fight isn't over till one of us falls! And I don't know about you, but I'm still going to give it my all, since I don't feel like having a great fall right now!" She chuckles at her awful pun that she just made.

At first, Yuri rolls her arm around, ready to go at Mr. Jones, but then she doubles over, running low on stamina apparently. It looks like she's about to give up, but Yuri slaps her face a few times and says, "No, Yuri! Don't give up now!"

COMBATSYS: Yuri gains composure.

"Darn skippy!" Jones laugh at that snapping his fingers, why if anyone's overhearing this and not actually watching the two bloodied fighters they'd think Jones and Yuri are just chumming around, it doesn't sound /at all/ like their beating the daylights out of each other. Of course, that is bound to happen when you get two sunny sunshine people to fight each other, Yuri's spunkyness complementing well Jonesy's happy go lucky disposition.

"Heheh.." By this point, Mista' Jones doesn't care that he got obviously upstaged, no way he can compete with those puns. But in the end they're both warriors and they came here for one reason only. The groovy martial artist concentrates whilst in his Jeet Kune Do stance, arching an eyebrow when Yuri begins to slap herself and breaks into a slow jog that begins to accelerate.

"Ooooooooooo!!!"

As he reaches Yuri's position he's now moving with almost blurring speed, ducking low right before he reaches her and jumps up with his foot leading the attack, aiming to slam the side of his foot right into Yuri's neck with a guillotine kick!

"GROOVE MASTA'!!!"

COMBATSYS: MrJones successfully hits Yuri with Enter the Groove Master.

Simply put, Yuri has no way of getting out of this in one piece. She is hit in the neck and is sent staggering backwards towards the edge of the waterfall. But before she falls over, she brings her arms back behind her one last time, to send forth a huge fireball at Mr. Jones.

Unfortunately, with the last of her energy spent, Yuri stumbles backwards... and falls off the edge! She can be heard screaming with her scream fading in a manner not unlike that of Wile E. Coyote falling off a cliff. The only difference is that there are safety nets to catch the now KO'ed Yuri, instead of her becoming a Yuri pancake!

COMBATSYS: Yuri can no longer fight.

Mr. Jones makes a backwards flip after the vicious strike connects and lands on his feet, shades flashing as he stands up straight watching Yuri for a moment..right after she sends that huge fireball right at him with a vengeance!

"Woo!" This time the retro fighter moves to the side avoiding the attack and combs his hair. "Too close." He says forgetting that chi blasts have the nasty tendency of exploding! "GAAAH!!" As it blows the rock where he's standing, Jonesy ends up falling on the water and sputters a bit before he too falls down the watefall.

"NOOOO! IT'S MESSING UP THE 'FROOOoooooooo...."

*SPLASH*
