Scrambling Strings Style

This is a unique Taijutsu style created and used by Makasu. As a Puppet Master, the most obvious, and most deadly, weakness is having an opponent sneak by your puppet and it's defenses and attack you directly. Most Puppet Master's usually are not skilled enough to defend themselves from a direct assault from Taijutsu, Makasu developed this style of fighting to counter that weakness. The Puppet Master uses their chakra strings for defense, attaching it to a charging attacker and using the strings to slip-up their style, or attack, creating a blind spot for which to attack with either a puppet or an assault of their own. Makasu uses this style with great skill, forcing a weak spot or blind spot out in the open to assault. Makasu combines this style with chakra enhanced strength to devastate and quickly punish an enemy should they attempt to assault him directly.

The weakness of the style is that it requires the use of chakra strings, if overwhelmed, the user might not be able to defend themselves using said strings. It also uses up strings that could be used for puppetry, so constantly attacking the puppet master, can limit the amount of puppets they can use as well as the effectiveness of their puppetry. Another weakness is that using the strings in a precise manner can only be done from close-range, attempting to try it from a further stand point can leave room for error.

This style also requires a great sense of awareness and perception, knowing when and where to place the strings on the opponent, as well as how quickly. It is mostly a style of self-defense but can be used for offense as well, but this is uncommon as Puppet Master's prefer the use of puppets. However, if used carefully and efficiently, the user can eliminate the natural weakness to Taijutsu while using puppetry, or even attack while doing so.
