User blog comment:BraveHeart70/Need to be a better Roleplayer: HELP!/@comment-24984058-20141118144246

I have the same problems, honestly. I have only been involved in a few Roleplays (about a half dozen or so) and most of those were Naruto based. The biggest problem I have is how much power I should use against an opponent: either I use too much and end up messing up the flow of the roleplay (and requiring a re-write on my part) or I do not use enough and get my ass kicked. For instance, in hand-to-hand combat, I will try to have vague aim while also holding back my power in order to not mess up the flow. If I use a flurry of punches, I realize that I end up making moves for the opponent, something that is a huge no-no in RPs. Anyone have any suggestions to fix this?
