How to Battle Guide!

So, great! You joined Narutor Revolution and you have posted your character in the Character Creation section and it is now approved, you might be asking yourself, what should I do now? The first thing that comes to mind: Role Play, and something that closely follows it, is a good ol’ fight! But if you are new… You’re asking yourself… How exactly do I fight? Well, this my friend, is why this guide was made, to help YOU learn how to fight.

Q. So… Can I just post all my attacks at once…?

A. The correct answer would be No. Your “moves” are divided into rounds, which we call posts, A post time can vary from a few minutes, to a few minutes, to hours, it all depends, though in a fight it is usually measured in seconds, since everything is going quite quickly, punching, performing jutsu, etc. The order, if it is a 1v1 would go:

1st Post: You or whoever starts the fight [In this case, you would start the topic]
2nd Post: Your opponent
3rd Post: You
4th Post: Your opponent

Now if in any chance the battle is, for example, 2v2, then the post order is discussed and chosen by those who are going to be in the topic.

Q.Ok… So how many Jutsu could I use per topic?

A. Well, to tell you the truth, we don’t have a limit, this, my friend, is where common sense comes into place. For example, it would not be so realistic to use three S Rank Techniques in one post, why?, because it would drain all your chakra and most S Rank Jutsus take a while to initiate. But for example, if you don’t have time to perform a jutsu, you wouldn’t, an example would be if someone has Shunshined behind you, you would most likely have few seconds to react, thus, not being able to perform an S Rank Technique. So we basically leave this up to you, but if you think someone is abusing this, please PM a Staff Member and we will moderate the topic.

Q. Ok, so what if I want to use a Taijutsu technique? How would you time that, and how do you limit our attacks?[/b]

A. Yes, once again, time[/B] comes into effect. Most Taijutsu is basically kicking and punching, so how can we limit that? We really can’t, common sense would come into place once more here, for example, if someone basically Shunshin’s besides you and kicks you in the crotch without even letting you retaliate, this would be called God Modding (Will come into detail later). Us, the staff, keep an eye out for those kind of things, but we expect the members to reason about things they are about to do, specially Taijutsu, for example:

[i]Bob runs at top speed towards Joe and aims a kick to his head, a punch to his crotch, a kick to his stomach and another kick with his other foot to Joe’s shin, hitting him.

This, however, is wrong. Now the correct form would be:


Bob runs at top speed towards Joe, and stops a few meters in front of him, aiming a kick to his head, then a punch to his crotch, then a kick to his stomach and another kick with his other foot at Joe’s shin. If Bob was successful with the kick to the head, Joe would be knocked out conscious, if he was successful with the punch to the crotch, Joe would suffer a lot of pain in his crotch area, if he was successful with the kick to the stomach, Joe would have the air knocked out of him and if he was successful with the kick to the shin, Joe would fall down.

This is correct. Why? Because of the magic word IF, you see auto hitting would be God Modding, but this, is not God Modding, because Bob is not auto hitting, he is simply “aiming” his attacks, meaning that the opponent could retaliate by blocking, evading, or countering the attacks, posts like these are allowed, but keep in mind the word if, because in an RP fight, it is very useful. There would be situations, like this one:

Joe is tied to a tree, incapable of moving. Bob aims a punch to his face

You ask yourself, can I auto hit him, I mean… He can’t move. The answer would be NO. Even if he is tied with iron wires, with exploding tags all over his body and surrounded by wild dogs and ninja with weapons, you can NEVER auto hit. In this situation, the opponent would HAVE to post being hit, but if he somehow magically has a way to retaliate, then he is allowed. Once more, if there are problems like this, all your problems can be solved by PMing a Staff Member .

Q. Ok, you have told me about Taijutsu… What about Genjutsu? How can I know I’m trapped? And how would the process work?

A. First of all, Genjutsu Techniques are thoroughly checked due to the fact that they can be easily God Mode-able. Mostly, when someone traps you in Genjutsu, it is usually:

- Eye-to-Eye contact.
- Hearing
- Area Genjutsu
- Etc.
There are several ways of getting yourself caught in a little predicament with Genjutsu, but always keep in mind, Genjutsu is NOT Tangible, so there will be no Genjutsu, nor will it be allowed, that is tangible. So what you are basically saying, how the heck do I get out of Genjutsu?! Well, the answer is simple, my friend:

- Kai.
- Pain, baby! Pain!
- Assistance by another person

First of all, I will be elaborating each one. But to even try to escape a Genjutsu, you must first realize you are trapped, for example, your opponent suddenly turns into fuzzy bunnies, your gonna be thinking, either I am on drugs or I’m trapped in Genjutsu, and no, we will not settle for

Post: Joe began to make hand seals as the Genjutsu activated, and looked at the opponents eyes

This post is alright, though if the opponent makes a reasonable reason on WHY he was not looking at the man’s eyes, he can escape the Genjutsu, but if he doesn’t…

Post: Nothing changed as Joe began to perform Hand signs, suddenly, Bob realized he was trapped in Genjutsu!

This is WRONG. You need to state a reasonable reason on how your character realized he was trapped in Genjutsu.

Q. So how do I know when I am out of Chakra?

A. Once more, common sense comes into place. Example, a Genin has a small chakra pool, so if you use around 10 C Ranked jutsu, you would be drained. Things like this we cannot be sure about, but if we use common sense, we can estimate things. For example, even for an S Rank Ninja, if he uses around 3 S Ranks, he would most likely be drained out of chakra, think of Sasuke’s “Kirin”, once used, he was basically drained. So yes, if you have a problem with this, and you think a user has used too many jutsu, please contact the Staff and we will look over the topic.

Q. What is God Modding?

A. God Modding, as said before, is when you perform an action, mostly in fights, and do not let your opponent retaliate, for example:

Bob stabs Joe, killing him

This would be an example of God Modding, you are auto hitting your opponent without giving them a chance to retaliate.

Bob attempts to stab Joe

This would be an example of something not God Mode-able. So basically, think twice when you are thinking of God Modding, because it is punishable.

Q. What is “Meta Gaming”

A. Meta gaming would most likely be described as using OCC [Out of Character] information, in IC [In Character] topics, for example, you heard from someone in the chat box that so and so would be taking over the village, and you use that information In Character, this would be described as Meta Gaming, and it is not allowed. Beware when you think of Meta Gaming, because like God Modding, it is punishable.
