Tachimae Renge (Selfish)

[Guyviroth]

Tachimae Renge (立前蓮華; Standing Before the Lotus)
Rank: A
Type: Taijutsu / Kenjutsu / Offensive
Range: 0 - 5m
Handseals: --
Chakra: High x2
Special: Attack exists in four stages, with each stage's success increase the likelihood of the next. Battle Mod/Judge to determine success of combination based on RP between user and victim. Amount of times the user can slash an opponent in the air equals to 5 times, plus 1 more each time retrained. All stages are completed in a single post.
Description: The utilization of the Tachimae Renge is identical to the Ura Renge; the user will open the first Three Celestial Gates, except they use their sword instead of their fists. Then, like Ura Renge, the user quickly moves beneath the target and [1] kicks them upwards. While in the air the user will then [2] constantly slash at the opponent while quickly manoeuvring around them . Then at the apex of this attack the user will [3] slash their opponent along the front of them as they head towards the ground. To deliver full power, the user then moves in close to their opponent and delivers a powerful thrust [4] with their sword to impale them through the heart before they both hit the ground.
Domain: Goken. Hachimon 3rd Gate. Kenjutsu. Battoujutsu 'A' Rank.

Remove that this is a kinjutsu, as its not. Seeing as this is a four [4] stage attack I would like you to state the maximum time (post length) that this assault has to be completed i.e can this all happen in a single post, or two?

[Guyviroth]

Kinjutsu has been removed. All stages occur in a single post, like Ura Renge.

"with each stage's success increase the likelihood of the next." this seems like a statement primarily added to god-mod (aside from it being a direct rip from the Ura Renge parent-tech). In battle, its only going to be used as a justification for one saying that their opponent 'can't escape' the attack once it's started. Although there are other techniques (in Goken specifically, iirc) that say something similar; this is the kind of thing we need to be moving away from. You've got one technique, that combines several different attacks that you could achieve through simply opening the third gate and performing them, but you basically want them to occur near instantaneously in order to decrease the chance they can be defended against. Combining five different sword strikes that you could simply describe into a single attack =/= making a custom technique; there's nothing 'custom' about this. You can do everything here, exactly the way you describe, just by writing it out. The only difference between doing that, and having this tech, is that this tech would increase the likelihood of your opponent not having any viable defense. That's quite literally all it does. On that basis, i'm inclined to deny it right out, but i'd like to at least hear from you beforehand to see where your head is at. I think if we can discuss it a bit, we may be able to find you some common ground, and a technique that communicates a particular idea well.

Well you've pretty much just hit the nail on the head. But the reason why this technique is its own technique is the same reason why Ura Renge is its own attack instead of just typing out what's part of an Ura Renge; because it's more powerful.

If I were to type out this technique as a stand alone I would be using a standard kick (probably B rank damage at Third Gate) as well as five slashes (in my case, B+C rank damage due to Masteries) and a last stab (Again, B+C). This technique transitions the damage from what I prior listed all into A rank damage (And if Kenjutsu Masteries would apply to this, S rank damage). Essentially, for extra chakra input (being listed as High x2, much like Ura Renge) the damage is increased by a step up.

I don't see an issue. Godmodding will be impossible, since the technique states a BM is required to make a judgement call on the situation.

2/2.
