Talk:Max Irvaron vs Akihiro Dragoscale/@comment-25760276-20190815034001

That was really well done! And I'm not just saying that because of how awesome it is to see my character used by such a passionate writer, I thoroughly got enjoyment out of this even as just a reader. Both analysis sections were witty and explanatory, to the point where I'm sure anyone going in to this would have a full understanding of the characters by the end; which is great, that's exactly the target that analysis sections should strive to hit. Also, again, it just blew me away to see someone willingly put this amount of effort into researching and writing about a creation of mine that I myself had put a lot of dedication into.

And oh boy, the battle! Absolutely phenomenal, and not just because of how long you managed to make it. The story and fight captivated me from beginning to end, and I certainly didn't see the wicked-cool finisher coming (especially not from Akihiro, since I didn't in any way think he'd win.) You were really passionate about what you were writing and it really shows; both of the characters stories, abilities, and personalities were used in such a creative way. I, for one, certainly didn't expect you to go as far as to include both the Dinosaur and Crocodile Kingdoms into this, which was a great touch! Along with Luna and Aoyama going at it, which got me even more hyped, imagining what that battle would be like.

I did have one gripe with the battle but it was a small one so I would say to take it with a grain of salt. The passage following the K.O. threw me off a little, I just felt like the battle was so story-oriented that perhaps there were some loose-ends that needed tying up? I'm not sure. That would honestly be my only gripe with the battle.

I think I disagree with the results too, although this isn't a gripe with how you wrote anything, just a matter of personal opinion. I think the one clear edge Akihiro has over Max is that he's much more of a main fighter than Max is, although I'd still argue that Max's strength stats alone should put Akihiro down before he can activate anything incredibly powerful like Dragoscale. That's just me, and how I initially feel after reading the results, although I may be swayed upon reading the conclusion a few more times.

Overall, I adore this battle. It's well thought-out, well constructed, and had me on the edge of my seat the whole time. Reading this gets me all the more excited to see Luna Blighter vs Aoyama Dinospike, if that fight ever sees the light of day. Awesome fight, Max! I'll definitely come back to read this one again in the near future.
