T7R4M4 Jojolity Delibs

Judge Boxcars (Snek)

You both do great work with this jojolity, not only using it to establish the tone, but to tie it into your gameplay and your different ideas of what it means for both of these characters to be predators. Your plays are well-integrated into your strategy, with the way that Romantico fully utilizes its octopus body to camouflage, stalk Reese, and tear him apart, to Reese’s varied usage of his own animals. You utilize your well-written narrative documentary bits to preface your plays, emphasizing their role in your strategy.

I’d like to give a special shoutout to the way that Honeydew flips Reese’ nature documentary style against him, combining it with her own uncanny mannerisms to really underline the specific kind of infiltration, stealth, ambush, and dismemberment that harkens to existing animals while still showing her as a unique predator all her own. As such, you deserve an **8**!

I’d also like to commend IMPACT’s finisher, which concludes the thesis given in the beginning. While I might be a bit skeptical of this being an ‘oops all conclusion’ jojolity, you put a strong emphasis onto the different ways his animals hunt throughout the strat. I do think that you could have given Reese more to do in ways that tie into learning from his animals, but it does make sense given that sometimes the strangest predator is man. I think you put enough love and research into the predation of various animals that you get a low **8**!

To start again with Honeydew, this was equally as clear-cut as Quality for me. You absolutely nail the implementation of Jojolity into mechanics, leveraging the unique capabilities for predation that Romantico provides - the ability to camouflage itself among debris, its ability to stick to a target via its hooks, and its capacity to move along walls and out of the 5-meter sight line. It demonstrates a clear understanding of what Honeydew envisions a predator to be - a relentless presence that inspires terror in its prey as it mercilessly runs them down and tears them apart. It's about as emblematic of a **9** as I think this can get - an absolutely excellent showing all around, going beyond the basics to make something really integral to the overall strategy.

As for Reese, his notion of a predator is more specific, narrowing in on pack hunters like the wolf, relying on a numerical advantage to overcome a physically superior foe. Reese in particular joins in on his first hunt at the end, becoming a fully-fledged member of his "pack" with the finishing blow on Honeydew. It works very well with the swarm nature of Reese's Stand, and similarly has solid integration throughout. In fact, both sides have pretty strong Jojolity this time around - enough so that I think they warrant the same score, so this gets a **9** as well.

I found that both players did an excellent job embodying the predator for this match. Honeydew and ｢Romantico｣ initially lying in wait for their prey and then transitioning to destroying the warehouse and “combining” into one singular predator is quite powerful; and Reese’s use of animals to expertly track down his prey and using methods to track down Honeydew when she’s by herself to pick off the weaker ones in the “pack” is great too. The narrative/mock-umentary bits in both strats also help to accentuate the idea of the predator. I’ll give both players an **8**.
