Montage killing

I've read quite a bit about people getting deducts for something called montage killing, which seems to involve taking out large numbers of enemies in a single post. Is there any way I can take on multiple foes without getting a deduct (provided my character's strong enough)?

As long as you rp killing every single person then yes. No going "And after an hour of fighting, the entire division was dead" and that's the only 'fighting' the post has.

Provide reasonable description for all of the combat while RPing your strengths and your weaknesses.

A starter, or even a 50 SD character, is not going going to be running through dozens of mooks and killing each with a single swipe. Instead he should face each foe as a threat, albeit a fairly low one, and actually engage in combat with each enemy.

Just remember to always kill responsibly.

Watch where you're going Spirit, I was typing here.

Though perhaps superfluous at this point, Montage Killing refers to the act of setting up a huge battle (say 50+ mooks) and then spending next to no time or effort disposing of it.

With this I mean, if your character has no reasonable way of doing so. if they have a destructive fruit and a fitting technique, it's not unfair to say they can dispose of them with no time but the effort is still there in using a sufficiently powerful technique. The way many go wrong on this is if they set up for a melee brawl, Dynasty warriors style with a lot mooks to take out, but afterwards don't bother being descriptive in their melee brawl like Spirit pointed out earlier.

Montages can work but the deduct pops up more often because it's used wrong. A challenge that presents itself because of plot, which is then easily dismissed just to speed up that plot and not go through a "boring" brawl is wrong. However if you use it as a story element to say "wow, that dude is so strong he killed all those dudes in a single blow", it's not wrong. Just remember to make the purpose of said montage clear should you choose to do such a scene.

I don't agree with darkhunter often, but he's speaking from experience here. He knows what he did wrong and he suffered unimaginable torment for it. Unimaginable.
