> Keep watch of the oni as we give ourselves a small breather to regain some of our senses.

[Hello Purvis]

> Keep watch of the oni as we give ourselves a small breather to regain some of our senses.

>You keep an eye on her, and have barely a moment to recover before another punch, speedier than before, flies at your torso!

[Kilgamayan]

> Which hand is it?
> Has that moment of weakness passed yet?

[Hello Purvis]

> Which hand is it?
> Has that moment of weakness passed yet?

>Her right.
>It has not really passed; danmaku functions by draining out one's strength, until on eventually either collapses, or cannot fight back.

> How far above the roof are we?

[Hello Purvis]

> How far above the roof are we?

>Having righted yourself, you are maybe four feet above it.

> How quickly can we descent when in an upright position?

[Hello Purvis]

> How quickly can we descent when in an upright position?

>Fairly fast, but you doubt it would be faster than that punch.

[Kilgamayan]

Bah.

> Dodge back and to our left, turning our body to face more toward our current right in an attempt to make our torso a smaller target.
> While moving back and to the left, if we can, use an open right hand to spray a few bullets in the direction of her oncoming fist. Do not leave our hand out long enough to get punched, however; cut the bullets off early if necessary to move our hand and arm out of harm's way.

>You dodge back, and her fist just barely whiffs past your torso. You do not have time to counterattack in such a fashion, as her left is already coming with just as much speed, aimed for your side and hip.

> How much momentum do we currently have, and in which direction?
> Is her right arm still extended?

[Hello Purvis]

> How much momentum do we currently have, and in which direction?
> Is her right arm still extended?

>You have a little bit in the direction that you dodged.
>She is pulling it back.

shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit

> How much forward momentum does the oni have?

[Hello Purvis]

> How much forward momentum does the oni have?

>Hard to say without taking time.

[Kilgamayan]

> How are our hands feeling?

[Hello Purvis]

> How are our hands feeling?

>Functional. Still a bit sore from before.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> How large are her hands compared to ours?

[Hello Purvis]

> How large are her hands compared to ours?

>You've not really been able to compare, other things have been occupying your time. They probably are not radically smaller or larger, though.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> How much shorter or taller than us is she?

[Hello Purvis]

> How much shorter or taller than us is she?

>She is a little taller than you.

> Keep our backward momentum going by continuing backward, but heading a bit back toward the right as well. While doing so, rotate our body back in the opposite direction so we face more toward our current left. Ideally, we'll move and twist far enough to the right to have her left punch just graze by as well.
> As her fist is coming, try to grab and clamp down on her wrist from above with our left hand. This should be possible if it's coming in at hip height.

>You back away, just barely twisting around her quick strike. You try to grab her arm, and somewhat succeed, but it is ripped from your grasp just as soon as you grab it, her stength is nothing to take lightly!
>"Heh, you're pretty quick, ain't ya?" says the oni, chuckling as she draws her fist back.

[Kilgamayan]

> How far away from us is she now?

[Hello Purvis]

> How far away from us is she now?

>She has taken a couple steps back.

> Do we know how to teleport short distances?
> How much time and energy do we need to execute the double-spiral rainbow balls of light attack?

> How much time and energy do we need to execute the double-spiral rainbow balls of light attack?

>While it's plausible, you haven't quite worked out the technique.

[Kilgamayan]

> What about the larger glowing bullets that explode into a number of tiny round bullets?

[Yaersulf]

>How familiar are we with the concept of disco lighting?

[Hello Purvis]

> What about the larger glowing bullets that explode into a number of tiny round bullets?

>You can make these fairly easily.

>How familiar are we with the concept of disco lighting?

>You have no idea what that is.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Can we also make the same large glowy bullets that DON'T explode into smaller shrapnel bullets?
> If the above is possible, would combining large glowy bullets that explode with large glowy bullets that don't explode be considered unsporting?
