Description: The basis for all short blade techniques. The default stance consists of the user standing with his/her legs shoulder length apart, a hand resting on the hilt of a weapon attached vertically to their back, and eyes straight ahead.

Fine, edited.
It's gone. Now delete your posts.
Staff only for now on.

First off - suck my dick, staff more than value my opinion here - esp in this board. Second off the previous post was constructive. If you're too derp to understand that much you should probably resign from kage now...

Now then, I don't see how a stance, in particular THAT stance, would allow you to "sniff danger." Your eyes are straight ahead as the jutsu says. They're not even trying to expand their peripherals. If anything it should reduce reaction time cause the prep is already done - but to sniff danger? Puh lease.

Hisshino Itachi - why is the range 0-5 meters? Hell, why is it 0-5 meters for most of these techs? A majority of them involve no movement aside from spinning or remain completely planted. Your arm + the length of a short blade =/= 5 meters, let alone a sword in your mouth.

Also, most of these techs are pointless and can already be rp'ed out. Drawing your sword to block? Slashing at people? Seriously? (To be specific, Kyuumin Itachi through Chimeiteki Itachi)

Only the first tech and Fukyuu Itachi have any merit to be honest.

The last two techs? You're breaking the golden rule of Shunpo. No attacking off it. The point of nurfing shunpo to where you can't combo it with attacks in the first place was due to the speed and momentum.

The momentum behind this technique is immense, and the speed nigh untraceable.

l-o-l

Also:

Perhaps the fastest of all weasel sword techniques, the user consumes two flash steps in order to seemingly ‘teleport’ past the target.

Sorry, Shunpo doesn't work that way.

And I quote "Contrary to popular belief, this technique is by no means instantaneous. While a high-speed movement, if used in broad daylight, you're still quite visible and easily defended against.[/u]"

You wanted constructive? There you go. You're gonna need to rethink a lot of this over so it doesn't conflict with currently existing mechanics.

^ kay, thanks bro.

I wasn't even trying to be rude, but it's whatever. If this is the reaction I get every time I feel inspired to make a custom then I just won't bother anymore. I've been here, what 2-3 months? Give me a fucking break.

If my idea is that terrible then just archive this.

I'm staff and you need to learn to learn from your mistakes instead of getting all grumpy wumpy!

[Jun]

It's not even that serious.
I don't mind learning from mistakes but people could be a little less harsh, ya know?
I'll just avoid posting OOC like I have been doing. Problem solved.

Only moderators should be posting in this. Anemone, if you want a staff member to look over your custom I will be more than happy to. For the mean time, ignore the other comments made as they were not part of a formal moderating process. ^^

[suzaku]

This is in archives now, so I'll take my chance to say this:

You are wrong, Vega. It is acceptable for normal members to post in a custom so long as they have constructive criticism and are voicing valid concerns over an ability. They do not have the ability to deny or approve a custom, however, it is entirely counterproductive to say that somebody should ignore what a normal member says, even if their comments are valid, simply because they are not a Moderator.

Both parties were in the wrong here for their behavior.

I don't wanna see you guys treat each other like this again.
