[Meta thread] Iron's PokeRole Adventure: The Skull Ruins

[Dragonstrike]

Fighting a fast character means not stretching yourself too thin so you can keep up the pressure without them evading everything you try.

Fighting a strong character means avoiding strong hits whenever possible, attempting to KO them before they can do the same to you.

Fighting a bulky character means getting as many hits as you can to try and deal more damage to them than they can do to you.

Those are the general rules of thumb when it comes to battling those with a focus on any one attribute of Dex, Str, or Vit.  Characters that have multiple focuses are harder to beat, obviously.  

Strong and fast is a conundrum.  Do you try and evade their high accuracy, strong moves, or attempt to tank the barrage and get in what damage you can?

Strong and bulky presents a different question.  How many actions do you dedicate to trying to evade their attacks and how many do you use to deal chip damage?

Fast and bulky is a 'playing the long game' style of battle.  They can avoid powerful attacks to make the most of their bulk while chipping away at you simultaneously.  Or they can tank the hits and keep hitting you over and over.  Matching their damage output makes the matchup a lot easier.

Fast, Strong, and Bulky is really versatile for obvious reasons, and has no true 'counters' aside from adapting to how the opponent is playing.

BTW Phantom, if you were wondering why I haven't said anything concerning the Tanuki victory, it's because I'm saving it for IC because there's a particular way I want to do it.
