I think you'd do well to take your own advice, Saris. You should try to read what we're saying, as opposed to treating this as a personal attack against Zanjutsu. Which it isn't, and take everything out of context. Not once have I stated that Kido is outright superior to Zanjutsu, Hakuda or Hoho. The example I used wasn't necessarily Kido exclusive, it could apply to any specialist.

Sure in canon, we have Byakuya. But we've also got Hachigen who as you probably recall fought and defeated Barragan with nothing but Kido, almost all of his spells were cast silently and on the spot. He even cast several silent spells in immediate succession. Now, Hachigen stated that his Kido was not meant for combat, and he was right, even if he managed to do a fine job using it for combat regardless. My characters are largely specialized in offensive Kido, and do the same with Hado that he did with Bakudo. Any improvements beyond that point haven't really been that far from canon. Not really much further than your sword styles, we already know the degree of power that Kido has, as we know, it can actually halt time. That's IMMENSE.

As to the godmodding part. I'd like to point out that good roleplayers exercise good faith, and attempt to add to the story as opposed to detract away from it. They also realize that a roleplay is not a competition but a joint project, a story written between them. If you're roleplaying for competition then you need to take a step back and chill. If you look at your roleplaying partner as "the opponent" then I don't think you get what a roleplay actually is, and you're probably not gonna complete it. Labelling something as godmodding is something many do when they don't want to deal with something. It's also juvenile, it's fine to disagree with me, please do that, and if you do we can have a civil discussion on the matter over Chatango sometime. My username is Njalm by the way.
