Maku vs The Nine Tails

I'll keep my argument short and sweet.

We are close, the chains are 220 power and speed. Stronger than the beam, and over double its speed. So it would get there very quickly I'd think before even the halfway mark. I agree with Gary that the beam would still go but be interrupted, disrupted etc from the attack I described. With no real ruling on jutsu clashing/slowing etc I fee as though it would go through, especially given how the chains are kinda small, super sharp and would streamline right through given again the power and speed.

As far as not being able to see, well the beam is fired from a creature roughly the size of a horse. My word was forward, which to be fair is rather vague and ambiguous. Forward is anywhere that is in front of Maku, again given the size of the critter shooting the beam I don't think it would encompass his entire visual range, leaving him the ability to move "forward" out of harms way. This could be up and to the right or the left, whichever is out of harms way as I described.

I'm not disputing it would be a close call, but that was the whole point is to make it close. Given Maku's reaction time, the stats of the abilities I believe the attack would go through, as I described.

So dispute the death, claim the win, now I'm getting breakfast.

O and I guess battlemod it up

Sue me, I like a good argument.

I'd like to add a caveat to what I mentioned before given Maku's interpretation of the situation. Yes, the Kyuubi is indeed small, but its attack is not, which is what the second part of my argument hinges on. As stated in my attack post, the beam reaches its full size upon leaving the Kyuubi's mouth. Now, let us recall that Maku and the Kyuubi are roughly two meters apart when the beam leaves the Kyuubi's mouth and that at the point he attempts to teleport the beam is even closer than two meters (don't forget his arms are outstretched either). The beam, as has been established, can be approximated by a cylinder with a radius of ten meters. For those interested, that's a diameter roughly the size of a six-story building. I simply don't see Maku seeing forward (in any sense of the word) when he does indeed attempt to teleport especially considering logic would follow that his gaze would probably be where the Kyuubi once was and where his chains are going (ie the center of the oncoming attack considering the beam is centered on him.)

Naturally, I'll defer to whatever ruling may come. I just want to make sure I establish my point appropriately and in its entirety.

I'd say the beam would scale accordingly, especially since the whole shrinking and growing bijuu is a site thing. I don't remember that being a thing in canon, but I could be wrong. I also base this on the fact that almost all bijuu jutsu have some sort of scaling for Jin. While the power would be the same, I'd think sizes would change. Though naturally I'll defer to any mod ruling, I merely wanted to give my piece.

The real question I have is how long we can go back and forth like this until we are interrupted?

While we wait, allow me to regale you, dear reader, with my thoughts on the scaling of attack sizes. I posit that the size of the beam is not dictated by the size of the user, but rather the form of the user as stated by the jutsu application (ie full beast or not). For example, let's say we have a Akimichi Jin who used body expansion to reach a large size. We would not scale said jin's bijuu beam up to size if he/she entered a cloaked form. Rather he/she would be bound by our current rules and the jutsu application.  So, I think, it follows that we would not apply such a handicap to a full beast based on size alone.

I'll take it.

Maku wins and is, upon sealing it, the new nine tails Jinchuuriki, congratulations.

Exit my claims have been made before.

For the sake of clarity I'll also not be claiming anything with the words. I don't have a way to total them so I mean, o well I guess
