A dirt filled arena. The floor is covered with sweat, blood, odd bits of wire, shielding, connectors. This is the proving ground of the interconnects. Here, the wiry combatants prove their worth with skill, luck and cunning. A hush falls over the crowd. The warriors step in. The crowd roars! Itís time for...
SMALL BRAWL: BATTLE OF THE MINIíS
The fighters:
Mad-Man Markertek: A fierce fighter that connects using the Canare style, and uses shielding to avoid outside interference.
Shang-hai StraightWire: A slender and cunning brawler in a black jacket, known for getting in and out of tight situations with ease.
Kung-fu Kimber: A master of his fighting style, specializing in accurate high kicks to disassemble his opponents.
And finally, the appropritately named Radio Shack: a dumb brute whose idea of subtlety is hitting you on the head with a club.
All of these fighters are small and balanced and chosen for their uncanny ability to bridge the gap between source and power.
The arena: sponsored by Panasonic CT-570, linking to the 5th level ascended master JMT's CMOY with crossfeed power.
The weapons: various silver spinning discs crafted by such aritsans as Miles Davis, 10,000 Maniacs, Godflesh, and Robert Rich.
The Madman battles first. His overall skill is impeccable, taking every punch and jab thrown at him with great skill. He uses his shield effectively, keeping away most blows, but occasionally taking a hit when an intense RF attack is launched. Though not as deft and sure handed as Kimber, he emerges from the arena as the crowd favorite.
Shang-hai StraightWire is next. She steps in to the ring with a thin veil. We can see the outline of her form, but her mysterious aura doesn't let us get a complete view. She snakes and slithers, making impossible twists seem like child's play, a truly wonderous display of physical ability. Shang-Hai relies almost solely on her quick reflexes, and takes a lot of punishment from unexpected interference. After the battle, she strides off confidently though she did not emerge the clear winner.
Kung-Fu Kimber floats in to the ring in a meditative position. All is quiet in the arena. A sudden, but silent attack streaks in from the right. Instantly, Kimber foot flies up and deflects the blow. Another attack from the left, a quick whip-snap and Kimber side-steps the charge. There is little the kung-fu master cannot handle, though low attacks seem to be his weakness. His accuracy in high kicks and mid-chops are world class, but his inattention to low sweeps makes him admired, but not loved.
Radio Shack lumbers in, and gets pummeled from all sides. He swings dumbly and wildly with his club, and occasionaly lands a hit. He is soundly defeated soon after entering. He can handle simple jobs, but any level of complexity leaves him in the dirt.
If you need a fighter for hire, here's the rundown of our combatants:
Best all around fighter: Madman Markertek. Shielding and overall balanced attack makes him the ideal choice for most arenas.
The specialist: Shang-hai StraightWire. Though not the most competent fighter, her ability to contort and conform to tight locations makes her the ideal choice for closed-quarters combat.
Poetry in motion: Kung-fu Kimber. His accurate attack will be a wonder to behold, but beware: he may reveal your flaws, and does not have a firm base.
Cheap: Radio Shack. If you've got no other choice...
The battle is over. Any new challengers?
