“Ring out, huh? I can go for that.” he replies, you watching as he draws his right fist back. Watching his arm coil like a spring, more and more folds until he suddenly punches. His fist flying forward, crossing the distance in an instant. Far faster than you were expecting, barely having time to bring your already-raised left forearm over just enough to block it.
“Tch!” you exhale, surprised by the speed of his strike. But after it hits the blow doesn't just stop, you feel the pressure INCREASING! Looking down his arm, seeing more and more of his arm uncoiling, each wave pushing you back. Causing you to start sliding backwards across the arena of your wife's ki despite stopping the initial strike, the stretchy man pushing you back closer and closer towards the edge. “Heh. Not bad.”
But kicking off the ground, you leap aside, his fist suddenly zooming well past you. Without your resistance his hand launches past, you keep moving to your right. Circling to his left as his right retracts his right, expanding his left hand into a giant wall. Easily two dozen yards across and half as high and pushing it towards you along the ground with no gap between his hand and the ground. Clearly a technique almost seemingly designed specifically FOR this tournament. But you're not so easily bested, despite knowing it's probably a trap you instantly leap up and over his hand. As you do, his pinkie suddenly raises up like a lasso, stretching out to wrap around your entire body.
“No you don't!” he shouts, trying to wrap around you. But you instead raise your hand to the air, firing a weak ki beam from your palm that rockets you to the ground. Dodging his lassoing finger, feet hitting the ground and rushing forward. You can't sit back against him, he's got too many ways to ring someone out with his powers! You see his weakness, and that's getting in close. Letting him have a second to get creative with his powers spells doom! But before you can close in, he suddenly turns his right into another wall, you hearing the rush of wind as he's pulling his left back. Trying to sandwich you between them now!
“No choice! Piercing Fist!” you roar, gathering your ki and charging forward. Swinging your ki-clad fist towards his outstretched hand.
