Okay after doing some action threads, fight threads in particular with you (during the Kin'cora affair, that fight Luke and Rin had, Mars and Masaomi in the one mission, I feel like there were others) I think I've confidently nailed down something which bothers me about your playing style. I'm sort of assuming/hoping that if it bothers me it'll be bothering others too so it's something you ought to think about at least.

Anyway, from those threads and other threads where characters are just talking and spitballing ideas, it seems you're very enamored with your characters' various superpowers. This isn't inherently a bad thing, but I've found an offshot of that to be awkward in fight threads I've had with you-- I can't fairly call it godmodding (because, at least in my threads, it has mostly been lording over NPCs) but I've noticed you write them with this sense of clipped efficiency of using superpower/ability X to override situation Y and the end result is that that the fight threads I've had with you either lose their dramatic tension or fall on the other player (in this case, me) to maintain it.

It is possible this is just me, but I would urge you to look back on some old action/fight thread bits and see what you think.
