SNF 2012.04 - SNF: "Groove Is In The Feet"

Description: Out in Russia, two completely opposite fighters square off in a Saturday Night Fight. Which will truly eb the superior of the two. (WINNER: Shun)



Unlike with most fights, Shun is not looking forwards to this one. Why not? Because she has the distinct feeling that no matter which way it'll end up going, her reputation will hurt for it. But not showing up at all would also be a poor impression to leave, and so she's here. She will fight, but she isn't quite sure yet how she'll go about it.

Let's just wait to see what this twelve year old girl she's fighting is like, and then Shun can maybe better decide to make her decision. For now, she's having a bittle of coke and trying to relex. No sense stressing about over this /too/ much, after all...

Unlike Shun, who is not at all looking forwards to this fight, Momoko is extremely eager to get on with this fight. Why? Because she loves showing off her unique Capoeira skills to the world, having already become a phenomenon in Japan. In fact, Momoko seems like a contradiction to Shun just based on how the two fighters are viewing the upcoming battle. Who knows what will happen post-match, though? That remains yet to be seen.

Shun may be having a bottle of Coke, but Momoko is warming herself up, doing some light stretches and practicing her moves, before stopping to have some water. She quenches her thirst and then rolls her neck around, before looking towards Shun. "Hey, are you Momoko's opponent? Because Momoko's ready to go when you are! It's gonna be a good time!"

COMBATSYS: Momoko has started a fight here.

Momoko           0/-------/-------|


Shun relaxes when it becomes obvious Momoko doesn't seem to mind the upcoming fight and makes a decision as she looks at the younger girl. Stretching and now having decided how to play this, she nods to the girl. "I am your opponent." She answers with a faint cockiness to her smile. "Now, I'm not going to go easy on you just because you're a little kid, just so we know you understand that before we start. 'kay?"

She makes a bow to Momoko, "May the best fighter win." She then she drops into a karate stance, fists balled and in front of her, feet slightly apart. She looks towards Momoko, paying attention to the other girl's movements and says a single word.

"Ready."

COMBATSYS: Shun has joined the fight here.

Momoko           0/-------/-------|=------\-------\0             Shun


"Hey, Momoko's no kiddly-diddly-doo!" Momoko replies with a big grin. Sure it's quite the contradiction from how she acts, but that's just Momoko for you. "Momoko's a Capoeira master, and Momoko's gonna show how cool it really is!" Momoko then returns the bow, since she is from Japan after all.

"All right, Momoko's ready to fight too!" She gets into the ginga, which is her fighting stance that looks more like she's dancing in place. She then strides towards Shun and then brings her right leg up and then sends it forwards in a snapping motion.

COMBATSYS: Momoko successfully hits Shun with Snap Kick.

Momoko           0/-------/-------|==-----\-------\0             Shun


The style of combat is one that Shun is not familiar with, and so the first kick unexpectedly strikes true. Shun tries to block it, but is too slow. She looks at the girl she's fighting more closely, and decides on her initial strategy for tonight's Saturday Night Fight.

One heel pushing into the ground, her other foot is launches upwards with high speed, lower than it usually goes, Shun even sort of crouches a little when she makes this roundhouse kick, aiming for the side of the girl she's fighting tonight. She is, most definitely, not holding back. She might have considered it before, but she has made her mind.

COMBATSYS: Momoko blocks Shun's Inazuma Kakato Wari.

Momoko           0/-------/------=|===----\-------\0             Shun


Unlike Shun, Momoko's on the up-and-up tonight, meaning that her side is fully protected when Shun's foot comes at Momoko. Momoko is able to deflect it away quickly, and then jump back a little. "That was a cool move!" Momoko says with a big grin. "Momoko loves seeing different fighting attacks from different fighters!" Childish, isn't she?

"Momoko's gonna show you what Momoko can do too!" Momoko resumes her ginga, then spins around briefly, almost like she's preparing herself for her next technique. Then, Momoko goes into a handstand with her back to Shun, only to launch into a one-two high kick style attack from her upside-down position.

COMBATSYS: Shun interrupts Change-Up Kick from Momoko with Giji Shoryuken.

Momoko           0/-------/-======|====---\-------\0             Shun


Okay. This. This is something Shun knows how to react to... sort of anyway... as she notices the attack coming, Shun jumps herself, her right fist covering itself in burning chi and being pushed up even higher. The girl cries out the attack's name loudly.

"GIJI SHORYUKEN!"

And then, due to Momoko's unusual position relative to Shun's response, the burning fist in all likelyhood lands in Momoko's belly while Shun herself is hit by the lessened force of a pair of legs. The fight has started in earnest.

"Nice Style." Shun admits.

Momoko's no kiddly-diddly-doo, but she's not a master yet either. In fact, as the attack lands in Momoko's belly, she goes flying head over heels into the air, yelling out as she does so, before landing flat on her rear. She groans a little before using a kippup-style technique to get back onto her feet. Momoko's tummy looks a little tender now, but she still retains her stance... and style.

"That was a real neat move!" Momoko comments, grinning still, albeit slightly weakly. "Momoko never knew there were people who could throw attacks like that! Momoko had best be careful!" Momoko retains her ginga, but doesn't make any sort of move towards Shun.

COMBATSYS: Momoko focuses on her next action.

Momoko           0/-------/-======|====---\-------\0             Shun


As Momoko moves like she does, Shun decides it's time to grab the initiative in the fight and keep up what she has that passes for momentum, and maybe gain a little more of it. She takes a few moments to observe Momoko to determine her next move, but eventually settles on a single course of action. She gathers blue-ish white chi in her hands.

"GIJI HADOUKEN"

And then throws it straight towards Momoko, hoping to hit the little girl in the same spot as she hit her mere moments ago. While she isn't sure this'll land, she's hoping to at least see how her opponent for the fight will react to this.

COMBATSYS: Shun successfully hits Momoko with Giji Hadouken.

[                \\\\\\\\\\\\\\  < >  ///////////////////////       ]
Momoko           1/-----==/=======|====---\-------\0             Shun


The hadouken. A projectile that Momoko has heard of and is familiar with. She thinks she can avoid it, but that projectile is faster than she thinks. Momoko is hit directly by the projectile and knocked across the area. This time, she tumbles a few times before landing in a crumpled heap. Even then, she still starts to get back up onto her feet. "Unngh... you're tough. Momoko thinks... Momoko doesn't know if..."

A pause, and Momoko shakes her head. "No, Momoko, don't give up!" She takes a few deep breaths, trying to focus on getting back into the fight.

COMBATSYS: Momoko gains composure.

[              \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\  < >  ///////////////////////       ]
Momoko           1/------=/=======|====---\-------\0             Shun


Momoko isn't doing too well, and Shun is starting to get second thoughts about the whole 'don't hold back' thing she decided upon. She decides that, for now, she is avoiding direct attack. The girl she's fighting hasn't done anything to attack Shun for a bit now, and the student of Ken Masters is not one to take advantage of an opponent /too/ much.

So for now, she observes. Looking at Momoko and smiling as Momoko tells herself not to give up. "That's the spirit." She agrees with Momoko, "Show me what you can. I'm sure you're a good fighter. Now prove me right!" It's a bit different from how she usually is, but... Shun doesn't want to discourage Momoko from keeping fighting, and more importantly, she doesn't want to be seen as a bully, even if she didn't pick this fight.

COMBATSYS: Shun focuses on her next action.

[              \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\  < >  ///////////////////////       ]
Momoko           1/------=/=======|====---\-------\0             Shun


"You can do it, Momoko! You can do it!" Momoko opens her eyes and looks to Shun. "Right, Momoko can definitely do this! Momoko will fight the best Momoko can!" She's still looking a little sore, but feeling a little bit more confident in her style now.

"Here comes Momoko now!" She exclaims as she rolls on the ground towards Shun, then attempts to lash out at her with a long toe kick.

COMBATSYS: Shun parries Momoko's Phoenix Arrow!

[               \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\  < >  ///////////////////////       ]
Momoko           1/-------/=======|=====--\-------\0             Shun


/Warning/ Shun that the attack was coming might not have been the best of idea. Because it meant Shun was able to leap to the side and respond almost immediately to the attack Momoko made. Without waiting, Shun jumps and uses her left legs as an axis around which to spin, meanwhile her right leg is used to attempt to make several kicks to Momoko's body /and/ limbs, though notoriously trying to avoid the young girl's face.

Perhaps the note about hitting the face was remembered well...

COMBATSYS: Shun successfully hits Momoko with Senpuu Kyaku EX.

[                     \\\\\\\\\  < >  ///////////////////////       ]
Momoko           1/----===/=======|======-\-------\0             Shun


Momoko definitely made a bad mistake there, as not only did her attack backfire on her, but she also got kicked mighty hard without the slightest chance of being able to protect herself. Momoko is sent staggering backwards, and left seeing stars for a few moments. She takes a moment to shake off the stars before lookin up at Shun.

"Momoko is definitely not doing well, but Momoko won't give up!" Momoko says as she struggles to maintain her ginga. "Never!" Momoko springs towards Shun, attempting to kick her in the stomach. If successful, Momoko will utilize that to attempt a swift throwing technique.

COMBATSYS: Shun parries Momoko's Kick Combo!

[                     \\\\\\\\\  < >  ///////////////////////       ]
Momoko           1/----===/=======|=======\-------\0             Shun


Again, Shun sees the attack coming and moves to the side in time. With Momoko still distracted from the kick, Shun already knows exactly what to do. It may not be the kindest thing to be doing here, but Shun has the solid belief that if she does this, she can at least end the fight before things get /too/ bad. "I'm sorry." Is the only warning Momoko gets as Shun gathers a lot of blue-ish white chi.

"HAAAAAA-"
"DOOOUUUU-"
"KEEEEEN!"

And Shun throws the real deal of the Hadouken, much larger than her earlier imitation, right towards Momoko's back. Again, she's purposefully avoiding to strike Momoko's head. If Shun is accurate, this is likely to take Momoko out of the fight...

COMBATSYS: Shun successfully hits Momoko with Hadouken EX.

[                                < >  ///////////////////////       ]
Momoko           2/<<<<<<</<<<<<<<|-------\-------\0             Shun


That hit definitely hurt. Momoko absorbs the energy and it really leaves her shaking and wobbly on her feet. But there is a trade off for everything. With the last bit of energy Momoko has in herself, she looks at Shun and says, "You fought well. But Momoko has one last trick up Momoko's sleeve!" She then takes her power and sends it at Shun in the form of a large beam... with Momoko falling flat on her face as soon as she's done.

COMBATSYS: Momoko can no longer fight.

[       \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\  <

COMBATSYS: Momoko successfully hits Shun with Esper.
- Power hit! -

[                  \\\\\\\\\\\\  <
Shun             0/-------/--=====|


Not having expected Momoko to even have the energy to strike back after this, Shun is kind of unprepared when the beam comes her way and she's hurt by it. Hurt a lot, but unlike Momoko, Shun? Shun remains standing, but not unharmed. Smiling at the younger girl, she has to say. "You fought well. Keep it up, I want to see how strong you'll be when you're my age."

And then she looks over to the judge as he calls the fight over, nodding calmly.

COMBATSYS: Shun takes no action.

[                  \\\\\\\\\\\\  <
Shun             0/-------/--=====|


COMBATSYS: Shun has ended the fight here.
