RPing Eduction and Sparring

Yeah, I noticed that. Also, you overused the Tyrant's acid spit. He was originally made to be a close-combat monster, with the acid only providing a distraction. It wasn't meant to be a major ranged weapon.

Review time once more!
Leaftooth (Weird name...) VS Sapphire.
Veeery short fight, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. I would imagine wyverns like Rathalos and Rathian having very quick but bloody fights with each other, which you two seemed to portray nicely. G4E, I agree with IK, you weren't aggressive enough. It is difficult to balance aggression, though. Also, threatening to eat Leaftooth's young was a bad move. Mothers of almost the entire animal kingdom actually become far more dangerous when their young are in danger, even in humans.
As for you, IK, its mostly a wording issue, in my opinion. You don't need to explain the motivations of performing an attack (As usually not explaining allows for the element of surprise), but it is good that you are very descriptive in your attacks, where they are aimed at/hit, etc.
And a piece of advice for both: The banter between the two was unnecessary. I know it was meant to be taunting from one to another, but really, motivations don't need to be explained in depth here.
Lord Ghidorah VS Megapede
A very creative fight, I must say, if not really unfair
Lord Ghidorah is a powerhouse, while Megapede is more of a skirmisher. Both seemed intent on fighting on their terms, rather then their opponent's, with the shielding and the burrowing. Though I must say DM, though it was obvious Megapede wanted LG to land, the act of continually popping up and attacking/screeching was a very creative way of luring him in. I actually think you portrayed Megapede pretty well, making sure to keep him out of direct combat. The tactic would've worked, if LG didn't have wings
As for LG, I think he was used quite well also. He has an annoying habit of countering any sort of trap, so really the only issue here was just a bad pairing of characters, in terms of fairness. Though, Megapede's best bet was probably to stay in close combat as long as he could (Without charging into the open, as I said earlier). LG seems more powerful when at ranged.
Pred-1 VS Tyrant Xeno
Difficult to brand this fight as good or bad, as its not so black and white. Descriptiveness? Check. Creative attacks? Check. Understanding of physics? ...Not so much.
DM, you must understand that Pred-1 is a 150 THOUSAND ton mech. No matter how strong, agile, or fast he is, a 150,000 ton mech will not be able to pole vault, front flip, or do anything of the sort. Also, you don't seem to take acid very seriously. Yes, shaking off the excess acid would mean less damage, but think about this: When you run your hand under a stream of water, and then flick your wrist to get the excess water off, your hand is still wet. That means that the acid would still be on Pred-1, and would still eat away at the metal, although at a much slower pace. Considering IK was pretty much spamming the acid, though, I'd say Pred-1 would have some seriously degraded armor.
As for you IK, I agree with DM, you basically tried to use a melee specialist character at ranged, which resulted badly. Although attacking Pred-1 at close range with his spear already out is unwise, at the beginning, when he had only the wrist blades, the Tyrant would've outmatched him in close combat. While Pred-1 has his wrist blades, his spear wouldn't be much use if you keep the Tyrant in constant close range, not giving him time to pull it out. The Tyrant has its claws, its inner jaws, its tail blade, and its acid, which would be much more effective at point-blank. This is a superior melee arsenal to the wrist blades, but you lost your chance after he drew the spear.

Okay. I'll try to be abit more agressive, and try to not talk so much when fighting..........

Thanks, TT. I was trying to use Megapede as a sort of uber-Mothra Larva: never putting himself out in the open and blasting his larger, slower opponent with whatever he could.
The thing about the Tyrant's acid, though, is that it's somewhat diluted. It's not nearly as strong as, say, Megapede's or Barugaron's. It was never meant as a mainstay weapon against similar-sized enemies. Even spamming it would only do so much. I do agree on the agility of Pred-1, though. That was a bit unrealistic, even for Godzilla...
Oh, and then there was the Tyrant's own natural "wrist blades." You forgot about those too, IK.

Kori Kahn VS WhiteClaw
Location:Sicily
A low growl of irritation came from Kori Kahn as he eyed the other dragon before him. He had been taking his time to explore the abandoned city and now, this new arrival had come and was clearly looking for a fight. The dragon's tail swung into a damaged building, destroying what was left standing before he opened his maw, a sphere of icy vapor leaving it and approaching Whiteclaw...

Whiteclaw snarls at his foe. The White dragon ducks under the icy ball, freezing a bit of whiteclaw's back. Snarling angrily, Whiteclaw lets loose a blast of his lightning breath.....

Whiteclaw roars, charging his foe as well, his head lowered so he can strike him with his horns...........

As the two dragons neared colliding with each other, Kori Kahn suddenly leapt into the air, Whiteclaw passing under him. As he fell, the ice dragon spun around and launched another sphere at his foe

The ice sphere strikes Whiteclaw in the back, the ice slightly freezing his back more. Snarling, whiteclaw quickly turns his head backwards and spits his lightning beam again..............

Whiteclaw flies up and over the icy beam before flying towards Kori Kahn, his claws outstretched to strike his icy foe........

Kori Kahn's tail strikes Whiteclaw, sending the dragon flying down to the ground. As Whiteclaw falls, he shoots his lightning breath before hitting the ground, rising shakily to his feet............

The beam hits Whiteclaw, freezing some of his chest and angering the dragon. Whitclaw spits a beam of lightning at the ice dragon, ready for his counter attack.......

Kori Kahn brought his wings in front of them beam, using them as a shield to protect his main body from damage. Growling, he leapt forward, swinging his tail at Whiteclaw's head...

Whiteclaw ducks under Kori kahn's tail before countering with a swing of his own tail............
