[open] TEST YOUR MIGHT

[fingerbanged]

Who: Yusuke Urameshi fingerbanged & YOU!
When: IC: 8/2
Where: A really, really bad Street Fighter knock-off in ViViD
What: The past few weeks and the disappearance of a friend have been rough on Yusuke, so he's taking his frustration out in the best way he knows how-- punching things. Unfortunately, with CERES machinery on the fritz, it seems like there's new (and not entirely willing) challengers being glitched into his level of Ultra Alley Brawlers...
Rating/Warning: RATED Y FOR YUSUKE aka heavy chances of violence, bad language, blood, and everything else that comes with sticking a hot-blooded shonen protagonist in a fighting game-- also potential embarrassing outfits

---

[So you may be minding your own business, happily playing some innocent ViViD game such as Cybuddy Raiser or Gourmet Mother, or you're in the middle of labor-intensive RPG-style session, about to finally hit that desired stat level and take on the regional boss. Or you may even just be hanging around the ViViD Center, taking a break from the energy draining effects of the machines before jumping back into the fray again.

Suddenly, the area around you shifts and pixelates, stuttering and glitching for a moment or two, before it corrects itself, and-- wait a moment. This wasn't where you were before! Instead, you're looking out at one of these slightly grainy surroundings, while the dulcet sounds of this beautiful song blares all around you. Thankfully, your attire remains the same-- unless you're one of the unfortunate few whom the game had decided needed an outfit adjustment. But it's okay! High-cut leotards are great for kicking!

Like a large, blinking sign, the words A NEW CHALLENGER HAS APPEARED flashes above your head, before vanishing into thin air, replaced by a time slowly counting down from 90. Before you can really dwell on what those words mean, however, the loud sound of pounding feet rushes in your direction, a young man in this get-up charging towards you, fist cocked and ready to fight.

... you may want to do something about that.]

[tl;dr, welcome to the not!Street Fighter simulator! It's up to you if you want your character to be glitched into a weird fighter-game outfit, keep their normal attire, or change into some alt outfit from canon! If your character isn't a fighter, that's okay! There's handicaps in place, and, given how ViViD likes to mess with things, your character can easily be super strong or super weak given how you want the interactions to go! There's potential for final boss fights and bonus modes (as well as time-up 'draws'), so go wild! If you want to hash anything out or plot, hit me up at Urameshi!]

[ The last time he'd been in a fight like this he'd been a street kid battling it out with another kid over bread, or something. This wasn't exactly the very same thing, but it gave the same rush for someone who had been, as of late, more than a little bit bored with Cerealia and it's lack of action.. well, and the fact that he hadn't wanted to be out and about among people when there was a very real possibility of them learning more about him than he'd really like.

Duo, honestly, hasn't been paying a lick of attention to the timer going above them. He's less focused on the time constraints as he was on being defensive and trying to suss out what kind of fighter Yusuke was. He'd chatted with the guy a few times, but it wasn't quite the same as trying to pick out a fighting style.

- - Don't put your fingers in the base of his braid, Yusuke. You may find more than you'd bargained for.

There's a soft growl of frustration as Yusuke grabs the back of his shirt - a booted foot immediately kicking out toward the other teen, aiming for where ever he could land a foot, twisting that deceptively light body in an effort to not be taken in with his back facing the other teen. ... Since that never, ever, turned out well for him. ]

[Good luck trying to get to the bottom of THAT one, Duo. Yusuke's fighting style was a mishmash of things, picked up from trial-and-error on the streets and things he's seen in TV matches. Sure, there were things from Genkai's training and his time with Raizen's followers too, but putting a specific label on it was fruitless.

Duo's blind kick hit his knee with enough force to break him away from his hold, causing him to stagger back a few steps. Man, he didn't quite look it, but he was one hell of a fighter. Pitching his body forward once more, Yusuke using his momentum to try to deliver a straight punch to Duo's face. It was a less than ideal position, but he was going to try to make it work.]

[ He's pretty quickly finding out that it's a lost cause - but hey, a guy can try. Especially if it might give him a little bit of an advantage in trying to figure him out. Fortunately/Unfortunately, it's looking like a good old street brawl like he used to have - nothing predictable and more like a battle of give and take - and that was something he could really get in to. Mainly for nostalgia's sake, if he's honest.

Duo turns, as Yusuke's grip falters, trying to figure out what he's doing - but turns directly in to the punch. He staggers back, HP falling quite a chunk, blood already flowing from his nose. It doesn't seem to bother him very much, at least, but he does allow the momentum of them both to fall on his back, winding himself on purpose, for the moment, in an attempt to kind of flip Yusuke over him. Maybe.. if it works. He doesn't have a plan for after that but getting the other teen away for a moment seems to be his best option right now. ]

[Really, it's been so long since he's been in an honest to goodness brawl, that he doesn't really care who wins or loses at this point, just as long as he can fight.

... well, okay, maybe that wasn't ENTIRELY true. He'd still like to win, if he could, and that punched he managed to deliver was definitely on the right track. However, one could not beat gravity, and he was already off balance as it was, so Duo's attempt at flipping Yusuke over succeeds, much to his dismay. There's a small yelp before he hits he ground, momentarily stunned.

If Duo was going to turn the tables, he may want to do it now.]

[ Duo is by no means a gymnast like Trowa - so excuse him if that little back roll wasn't the most graceful, but he's doing his best to get on top of Yusuke in the most efficient way he can possibly think of. They're running low on time, as it was, and considering his health was getting low after that direct hit to the face? It was time to at least take this a little more seriously than he had been, just to see what the results would be.

For posterity's sake, if he can get on top of Yusuke?

Definitely going for a face punch, just to make it even-steven. ]

[Because the impact with the ground threw him off, Yusuke's reaction time is about a second too late, and Duo's already on top of him before he can properly toss him off. He does resist, all thrashing and kicking and attempted knees to the nuts, but Duo's punch strikes true, hitting him hard enough to knock his head back to ground. It doesn't take off as much HP as his own hit did, but it did leave him disoriented for a good moment.

However, Yusuke's the master of getting back up when he's been beaten down, and now that Duo's in close range, his fist shoots up to deliver a counter punch to the other boy's face. Hopefully it'll be enough to knock him off.]
