Cirno vs. Hecate OOC

[Reece]

my last post length was due to the number of attacks Hecate sustained, she realistically  couldn't go on.

That doesn't mean you had to cut your post so short. I briefly mentioned above that you both could have done with describing the environment more, but that doesn't mean that that's the only thing you should be trying to detail. Writing about what your characters feels - both emotions and physical sensations - can not only lengthen your post but also make it sound better. Aside from that, you were both really vague with some of the injuries that your characters sustained; in that last post, for instance, you said that one sword cut Cirno whilst she dodged the other, but never actually stated where the sword landed, or how serious the wound was that it dealt.

How did Hecate feel when Cirno - battered, bloodied and with her grand total of 1 SPD - managed to find the reserves of strength to dodge quickly out of the way of a strike intended to finish her off?
What was Cirno doing whilst Hecate stumbled past her after missing? And what was she doing for the 10 seconds that Hecate charged her Shard Storm?
What was Hecate thinking as she came to the desperate realisation that her best hope for victory was to take a hostage and use her as leverage rather than continuing to fight head on?
How did her body feel? Was she trembling with exhaustion and clutching Daiyousei tightly to keep herself upright, or was she just out of breath a little but otherwise fine?

Even just based on the small amount you wrote and even assuming you actively wanted to avoid describing your characters' surroundings, there was still a lot of extra detail that could have been included to flesh out the story further.
This lack of detail is something that you both suffer from, though, so I wasn't actually penalising you for ignoring all that stuff, in theory... but your final post was barely over 1/3rd of the max word count whereas Cirno's was more than 3/4ths of it.

Just to clarify something here, in case my judgement wasn't clear enough on it; writing both characters well is what matters most. If your opponent writes your character (or theirs) taking lots of wounds that you think they should have been able to avoid because of high SPD or TEC, or that you think shouldn't have harmed them nearly as much because of high DEF, you can't just ignore the injuries, obviously, since that will surely lose you points... but that doesn't mean you need to do the same thing in your posts as they did. Portray both characters well and you'll have a much greater chance of winning than you would if you just wrote that your opponent took a huge number of injuries.
