'''It's hard for me to word things out at the moment. So I'm just gonna do this:'''

Slate's combat style is a form of counter fighting that is meticulous, involving parry techniques and defensive footwork to provde superior positioning. His style values agility, relying on quick reflexes and light feet, providing him the capability to elude danger and deliver his own effective retaliations in return. As counter fighting takes a more defensive role in battle, Slate takes the time to read and study the body language of his opponents and acts accordingly to what he has learned and predicted.

When Slate attacks or counters, he is quick and precise, with each strike intentional and selectively placed. He will include every aspect of his body along with his weapons into combat, usually incorporating a combination of slashes, thrusts, kicks, sweeps and punches. It isn't uncommon to see him use his scabbard in combat as well. He will also use his revolver as ranged weapon or he will incorporate it into melee engagements for a powerful surprise.

I simply reworked this from the first paragraph alone. In Dust's standards, I think this fills up two of the four categories, speed and defense. I erased most of the parts referencing power simply because Dust said that you were trying to cover all of the bases, and moved everything around.

Compare it to your previous one and I'll try and answer why I did it.

Now for the other ones:

"If the opponent doesn't offer an opening he will make his own by going on the offensive. He will strike at his opponent with fast, light strikes attempting to make them shift their guard creating an opening for Slate to deliver a precise and debilitating strike. His is still cautious when on the offense and is still capable of dodging or parrying if need be."

I do have mixed feelings about whether to keep this or not, but it's starting to feel like a weakness more than anything else. If he can't beat his opponent with his main style, that is supposedly a defensive and countering style, Slate going on the offensive means he's desperate and/or doesn't have any other option.

And just to note because I just thought of it now, countering doesn't always mean reacting to an action. Countering can also mean to be able to effectively oppose and beat it. (EX: the game Rock,Paper,Scissors)

XOXXOXO

"Slate's fighting style is highly adaptable, constantly changing his stance and guard to counter his opponent and make him difficult to read,  because of this it is hard to catch him off guard. Changes in is style can yield different approaches to combat. His style can mostly be described as flowing, where no attack seems to misplaced."

I think this is one of the parts that Dust doesn't like. Personally, I don't favor it too. You're trying to cover all bases as said before. I think this should be deleted?

XOXOXOX

"His style allows for him to take on multiple enemies at once. Currently he can fight up to three enemies at once. Slate is not physically weak and even without a weapon, he can still be a threat just defending or attacking with his hands."

Don't have a problem with this, but I think I can suggest some additions or changes to it.

OXOOXOXOX

As for the semblance, I have no problem? We'll see in the future.
