My best PVP fight yet, ever!

Evil Thistle vs a controller in Bloody Bay, yesterday, Sunday.

Yesterday, Sunday morning/lunchtime I had my best PVP expericence & battle so far.
I had evil plant/thorns dominator, Evil Thistle sneaking about Bloody Bay looking for scummy heroes to entangle (just landed 15 with him & thought I'd go see how my small handful of powers shape up so far).
From a devious vantage point, at a mid point inland & a distance south of the hero base, I spotted a Controller (Gravity/Radiation Emission?) stopping off by a phone box.
The hero had a cape, so I guessed had access to more powers & probably better slotted than I might be, but even so, villainously, thorns twitching at theready, I leapt down & attacked him from behind. I tangled him in writhing roots & vines, but he broke free & I think for over 20-30 minutes we then traded holds & counter hold, attack & counter attack in an epic battle.
Several times the battle swang in favour of one, only for the other to claw back & briefly gain an upper hand.
At one point two more heroes showed up, & initally I was dismayed to think that this great duel would be ended by outside inteferance & a sound thrashing for me. To pleasant surprise the extra heroes stopped & watched. I guess we were maybe putting on a good show. When inveitably one of the heroes blasted me, I summoned up my Shivan Decimator to run interference and me & my nemesis were back to duelling.
There was an incident with some Shivans, at my expense (& debt), who were obviously ticked off with my earlier abuse of a Decimator, but my opponent rezzed me & we resumed our struggle.
At one point my health was almost down in the red, when I kicked in Domination & clawed my way back to an advantage. In turn the controller escaped defeat & swang the battle back his way.

In the end, interference took it's toll when a fire blaster swept in & burnt me to the point of defeat.
As I lay in the waters, defeated, both Dominator & Controller stopped to congratulate each other on a great & truly entertaining battle. We both agreed that it was a shame the battle ended the way it did. There were several points where the victory was in grasp for either. But hey, that's how it can go.

This was truly an awesome fight. I loved all the various powers the we each used, & the fight was so much more immersive than some of the arbitrary button bashing battles I've been in & seen. Both of us moved around the map, but it was always for tactical respite, & neither even enterained the thought of retreat, or backing down to the other.
It was great that most of the other players kept back & just watched. I hope they had aa good a time as watching as it was to take part. I had a huge smile all the way through.

Even now, Evil Thistle makes plans for revenge, licking his wounds back in his lair, scheming against his new nemesis, and it would great to clash again. In all the excitment, I can't exactly remember the controllers name . I really hope somehow our paths cross once again, & we can pick up & answer those unanswered questions.

I really got the feeling that this is was PVP can really be all about. Great honourable battles, & the chance to make a nemesis & a fun "feud".

Edit: any spelling errors are 'cos lunch is over, & the grind of work beckons again...
