I was just thinking it'd be cool if the animation used to block a ki attack depended on how strong it was in comparison to you.
If it was a strong attack that you'd have a slim chance of winning against, then you'd put one foot behind you and the other in front to brace, hip turned to the side, arched over, and two hands up and out wide to block it.
If it was a moderate attack, you'd hold both hands straight out in front of you with the hip facing forward, partially hunched, and one of your feet arched behind you.
If it was a weak attack, you'd stand up straight with your hip turned to the side, holding one hand out. Instead of instantly deflecting attacks, you could have 1 second to re-aim it and fire it. I think deflections are more useful if you're swooping or moving towards them.
I'm wondering now if different types of blocks could be possible.
Maybe one meant to receive the hit and minimize the damage. It would work like Gohan's Shield, draining Ki and Stamina at a level dependent on the strength of the attack. It would immediately drain your Ki and Stamina to that certain extent to block it; it wouldn't be a long block. The damage could be negated, maybe completely. PL would determine the amount of damage taken.
The other block would be meant to push it back/counter attack, like it stands now. It could give an option against a beam to, once blocked enough, charge a beam to counter it and enter into a struggle so they can't get away scott free.
These two blocks could vary the conditions of the above as well, so one would deflect and the other would return it. Just an afterthought though.
