Why the fuck would you change to C so it's tied again? C sounds so boring. Being defensive all the time is boring. Any route we go will be strong but C is boring. A is fun.

Because it is funny to be in huge tie with no updates.

Lol, yeah thats the exact reason why i changed my mind. Certainly not because i felt its the closest style to something i wanted before.

Mifune isn't like C at all. His style is based on overwhelming his opponent so that they can't attack him. That's the exact opposite of C, which is waiting for the enemy to make a move first then strike. If he's not B he's A but he's definitely not C.

That'd be B outright, then. Speed-based style would include quick drawing. C is wait, wait, wait, counter. Rinse and repeat.

I know, thats why i picked B first but realised its not going to win and the way Mizu described C made me think its more suited to Iai than A. Doesnt matter now anyways, tie is broke.

love you guys. I really do.
Iai can work with A as well. It's an extremely powerful style in general. Or, well, is supposed to be. Power does not mean slow in this case. It just means slower than... well...
Yeah.
Imagine the difference like this: Iai with A would be Dante using the Yamato and dealing massive damage, and B would be Vergil doing rapid damage.
Posting soonish, but voting is officially locked.

You cross your arms and think for a second... What would a good style be to teach a girl like her? Hmm... maybe a style like your own? It's easy to learn, however, very effective. "Well. Come at me with everything you got." you say, holding your long blade in front of you to prepare yourself for an attack. "Let's start like this... swing your blade at me as hard as you can. We'll build from there!" you tell her and Tenten happily nods, raising the blade above her head and smiling.
"Get ready, Stranger!" she says, her arms seemed pretty awkward from how she had to hold the decently heavy blade, and as she brought it down, you could feel that she lost a lot of power by her ineffective pose. "Well... that's our first problem..." you say and Tenten looks at you a bit confused, but, before she can ask what, you sheath your sword and kneel down next to her, holding your hands out in front of you to show her how she should hold her blade "This is the easiest to start with... And after that...
45 minutes later...
Tenten was actually pretty talented in swordsplay. Although she was still... lacking in experience, she was picking it up fairly quickly. The basics of an all power-based style... Well, she pratically mastered them this quickly. Her physical strength was also surprising, sure, it wasn't even enough to slightly deflect your guard, but for a girl this young? Her strength was really high. "That's it!" you tell her as she swings her blade down to clash against yours, before, surprisingly, on the downstroke, she slashes her blade up in an attempt to cleave through your chest.
Luckily, you were paying enough attention to move you blade down the few inches needed to guard the attack and deflect her blade down to the ground. Although she was holding it down for a while... Her fatigue was starting to become quite apparent. Her blade dropped from her hands and she fell to her knees... Panting. "I need a bit... to recover... But I can continue on soon!" she said in a strangely dedicated tone but you shake your head "We'll continue tomorrow an-"
At that point, you hear an explosion... Before a giant fox bursts out from the forest. Roaring and rushing at you.
"Oh dear... Madara must be close by... He's the only one with a fox pact, as far as I know." the mysterious voice echoed in your head as the fox stood on it's hind legs, pulling it's left claw up, high into the air "...Izanami. Fighting this in your current is unadvised!" the voice shouts... but running away isn't really an acceptable option either, is it? It's a giant fox, it'd kill this girl, and probably highly damage the village, and-
Your instincts feel like they take over as you look at the fox. For some reason... You can read it's movements. You can perfectly see what it wanted to do.
It was planning to attack the little girl!
Quickly, you dash in front of her, pushing the shocked girl back just a slight bit so she would be out of harms way, and in the last second of time you had... hold your blade forward to reduce the impact of this attack as much as possible. The flat edge of your blade was to meet with the fox's paw, and slow down impact considerably-
"You idiot!" the voice in your head shouts out as the massive claw readies to make impact with your body...

Yes. I just wanted this because Kenpachi Zaraki is the most awesome swordsman ever. I say Kenshin/Battousai is second but he's like a B/C hybrid and that wasn't available.

Nn...
Your hand hurts....
Rather yet, your entire arm hurts.
But somehow... there's no pain in your chest.
How is that-
The shock of the pain disappears, and you snap back to reality. You blink softly as your realise what has happened...
The young girl was still behind you, and this... demonic six tailed fox was still in front of you. This large animal was as big as all the trees that surrounded it, and it's claw slammed downwards with incredible speed...
...But it couldn't knock your block off, your single handed block.
"...You're going to get yourself killed if you face off against such high tier summons without preperations, Izanami! You should just be glad that this isn't the strongest of his summons!" the voice in you head scolds you as you gather the strength in the both of your arms. Moving your free arm to the blade as well... you gather your full strength to actually throw this fox summon backward. You pant from the chunk of energy it took out of you... but at least you aren't damaged, right?
You quickly switch the blade to your left hand. If you exert your right more... you might break it!
A: All out rush it, slash it down with both hands.
B: Stay on the defensive for now. You might overexert yourself.
C: Take Tenten and run for it.
D: Try to take off it's offending arm while it's still staggered.
E: Try to use the blunt side of the blade to knock it out. You don't know whether it's too valuable to kill or not!
F: Other
