@ Eras
Master is misleading, more like 'decently use'. Probably two at best, three is overkill, since each style require at least five years to be accustomed with.

@ Jak
I knew that feeling, even though I never actually stop writing, i tend to neglect updates and often confused by the result.

Try making a schedule, find the approximately time to finish and how huge the resulting chapter. For example, biweekly with 3000 words per update. It's a great motivation

...Then is there anyway to explain Tatenashi's skills at all?

There's always in-universe explanation, one of them is explained by Jak.

I deconstruct it in ST, and reconstruct it in TLR Stratos, in that while she's good at everything, she's not the BEST in everything.

Think of an RPG character that have well-balanced stat, even if she has bonus being 'superbly talented' (+20 all stat, for example), there will be someone with higher stat in one or two aspect (Ichika and his martial arts, Houki in Kendo etc). In ST, this is used to justify her 'can't catch up' mindset.

Tatenashi's true strength is ability to gain higher ground by exploiting her target's weakness, and is the reason why she will become a leader figure in future chapter

Eratas123 · 2012-09-08, 05:52

I meant how the heck she knows and can use fighting techniques that are complete opposites. Seriously, Karate and Capoiera?

ZeroXSEED · 2012-09-08, 05:57

Once again, i said it's not impossible given enough time, and with Tatenahsi's age AND how RL martial artist went with, one decade might be just enough to train both styles.

While opposite, they might actually complement each other. Capoeira enhance flexibility, Karate went for striking force. Both are, however, dependent on body strength and balance.

The only unrealistic part, as I complained waaay before, is HOW GOOD she's at it.

HasuMasu · 2012-09-08, 05:58

^ Switch from one to the other, it's not hard, you just won't be able to use both at the same time.

Which she never did, btw.

EDIT: ...

@ Senpai - Does it make sense at all that representatives tend to turn into idols or models?

ZeroXSEED · 2012-09-08, 06:19

Why not, their status alone has it's charm.

of course, if they're not GOOD at it, their career int hat field will die quickly.

Eratas123 · 2012-09-08, 06:22

I wonder if attractiveness is a prequisite or something.

ZeroXSEED · 2012-09-08, 06:25

Pure coincidence? Well, or maybe everyone is really attractive, hence tall and handsome Dan regarded as less cool.

Sometimes it's not only physical features, but reputation and personality. We're attracted to side characters because they don't have turn off factor from their bad character, and they also look a lot more realistic

Eratas123 · 2012-09-08, 06:38

Honne doesn't look realistic at all......

ZeroXSEED · 2012-09-08, 06:42

Which part of her?

Eratas123 · 2012-09-08, 06:52

Her absurdly pink hair, of course:/

ZeroXSEED · 2012-09-08, 06:58

Well, about the color... Houki is very definitely black.

....

Why I think Honne is related to Tabane somehow? Is it the droopy eyes?

Eratas123 · 2012-09-08, 07:01

Maybe it's the feeling that she knows more than she lets on?

ZeroXSEED · 2012-09-08, 07:03

^ yeah, must be that.

Eratas123 · 2012-09-08, 07:11

Once you're given chocolates in valentines, are you obligated to give a return one come White day?

ZeroXSEED · 2012-09-08, 07:26

Nope, that's not how it works.

In terms of terminology, Girichoco is not self explanatory. Girichocolate means something you give as a token of platonic love, whereas Honmei chocolate is a symbol for romantic love which means there must be a reply (you could even refuse them), White Day exist as answer.

Eratas123 · 2012-09-08, 07:30

I meant if you had to give white chocolate back if a bunch of people give you honmei choco's.
