JJOCT7 R5M6 Jojolity

Judge Soichi Isurugi (Flame)

Dawn had “Demonstrate your athleticism!”, and she creates several tools to use in this way: a lasso she uses to grapple and swing about, flippers on her shoes to launch herself forward in the first seconds of the match as well as to dodge around Tachibana alongside the flippers and bumpers applied to her weapons, while taking advantage of the different ways gravity is affected to put a beatdown on the false King. Also she has a hat she can do Super Mario Odyssey parkour with :) — a solid **8**!

Honeydew had “Demonstrate your trickery!”, and I got to say adding a mystery to the strat was a really fun idea which elevates the trickery shown in this strat—deceiving Dawn and hindering her contributions, creating a maze to herd the Rider around by taking advantage of his behaviors, and the Chekov’s Barrel from which Honeydew strikes from when the time is right! The Jojolity works hand in hand with the entire strategy and elevates it on a fundamental level: **9**!

As for Jojolities, I’ll keep it brief. Dawn puts on an amazing display of athleticism throughout the fight, using every rope, bumper, and ledge to keep her on target. There’s a great sense of movement throughout the strat, I was getting tired just from following her actions. Couple all that with her impressive use of close quarters tactics, you can see how this Park Ranger earned her place. Thus, I’m giving this Jojolity an 8. Well done!

Onto Honeydew, she goes for an entirely different vibe. You’re never quite sure where she is, nor what it is she’s actually planning, all until it's revealed at the end. And by that point, it's too late. As mentioned previously, her strat is finely-tuned to keep everyone in line, only acting when it benefits her. These subtle plays and the structure of the strat ooze with trickery, allowing them to coalesce into a very effective narrative. Thus, I’m giving this Jojolity a 9. Well done!

Dawn's strategy is dynamic and fundamentally physical, going for a mix of strong melee options to more incidental ranged options, with the latter mostly serving to highlight her own physical prowess. I feel that this is a strong Jojolity without any major complaints from me, and it deserves an 8/10.

Honeydew looks to outfox and hoodwinked everyone in the match, from Dawn to Tachibana to the reader. Put simply, I feel she solidly does so! It would be easy to make the barrel play into one that comes off as too clever for its own good or confuses the strategy, but it is well considered and the strategy sufficiently well written that it reads as delightfully clever instead of smarmy or overwritten. I was genuinely caught off guard even though I caught some of the twist, and I think that deserves a 9/10. Great job!
