Kaio Ken System

[Jimesu_Evil]

There should be a new power to give advantage to people who die alot. Kaio Ken!

Here's how it should work:

When a player dies, a King Kai training gauge would start filling up.
The longer a player stays dead without respawning, the more the gauge fills up. When the bar is full (2 minutes total dead time), they can press a key to turn Kaio Ken.
There can be up to 10 levels of Kaio Ken, each level taking more time to train. ( level 1 takes 2 minutes, level 2 takes 4 min., L3 takes 6 mins and so on).

Kaio Ken can boost your attack power twice as much as normal boost, but if your power level is less than a certain amount, Kaio Ken drains life gradually.

eg. A player is Kaio Ken L1, and his power level is under 1,300,000, KK drains life. If a player is KK L2, and power level is under 1,800,000, it drains life and so on. If a player's power level
is above the required amount, KK does not drain life at all.

I hope you understand this, and I hope the ESF team will consider
using this in a future release.

BUt here's a problem....people will abuse it by just sitting there not respawning....I know people who'd have the time for that,A LOT

Let's change it around.Number of deaths.You start out weak and fill the gauge up by dying,NOT how long you stay dead.

Other than that,I also think KK should also drain a bit of health(1-2 health per second sounds reasonable) when you go over the Ki requirement.

But then for me it's up to the team to decide.

I don't think they'll add the Kaioken ... or ... not so as you suggested
I think more ... as second turbo key (press twice) ... it's more powerfull than normal turbo but it sucks health (based on PL)

but ... it would be unfair ... Goku is overpowered already enough ... half of all players take goku ... please suggest more for the other chars

In other words, bad idea

 

[DragonDude]

I think (or atleast hope) that Kaio Ken will be in the game someday, but implemented in a different fashion. This system could be abused too much, and it would greatly unballence Goku.
Someone could die, then just walk away and do something for a half of an hour, then come back and, well you get the point.

 

[Jimesu_Evil]

Yeah I agree with you, Doodie Man (nice name). I was thinking people would abuse it, and number of deaths sounds fairer.
But the ideal battle I had in mind was:

A raging battle on Namek, Frieza vs Krillin, Gohan, Vegeta, Piccolo and Goku. Frieza is at a power level of 10,000,000, and the others are only at 700,000 to 1,700,000. Frieza knocks Goku into the air, swoops up and knocks him smashing into the ground again. Frieza charges a full power death ball and fires it at Goku, killing him. The other fighters go crazy and attack Frieza all at once. Frieza keeps killing them all. After 10 minutes, when everyone starts thinking "man I wish Goku was here", Krillin gets into trouble. He has 5 health points left, and Frieza is swooping right at him. Krillin starts to block, but he knows it is useless. Suddenly, Frieza is knocked out of mid flight by Goku, who has just finally respawned. Frieza fires a volley of Ki blasts at Goku, but he swats them all away. Suddenly, Goku turns Kaio Ken, and glows in a red aura. Frieza panicks, and charges at goku. His charge is blocked however, and Goku knocks Frieza flying into the side of a mountain, killing him. Goku has now brought balance back to the game, plus making a dramatic entrance.

Of course, this would never happen unless it was a staged fight.
And I didn't say Kaio Ken was only for Goku. Any character could use it!

Thats true, but it would be like giving Vegeta the Kamehameha...
Of course Goku's going to be the only one to use it.

The idea is when a character dies, they go to train with king kai, thus learning Kaio Ken. I know Goku is the only one who uses it in the show, but they don't have to make the game exactly like the show. They could make a few things to make it more interesting.

as i understand it


that wouldnt make any sence and would make dieing something good..

dieing is not supost to be rewareded



and if i remember joe plans on implimenting kaioken in a later beta

 

[Jimesu_Evil]

Oh well. No harm in suggesting.

 

[Sonic the Vampire]

You can always just walk into the next room and pretend you're training at King Kai's while your character is mutilated over and over. Come back and walla; increased power level.

I don't see a point to any kaio ken system at any time or place. Goku is tough enough already.

I said Goku wouldn't be the only one who could use it!

 

[MinesSkylineR34]

just think of turbo as kaio ken

 

[Jimesu_Evil]

Yes but turbo and Kaio Ken are two completely different things!

If kiao ken was a move that only goku could use, that made him unblockable for perhaps 20 seconds (which seems amazing but it isnt really that great) it would be good. All that lv1-2-3 kaio ken is a stupid idea, and the draining thing does happen on the program but really its not going to happen.

A move which uses lots of ki but means you are unblockable for 20 seconds and a wee bit faster would be good to use and not that much of an advantage. I think goku is a bit weak at the moment - as long as you have an opponent who cant dodge then kameha is pretty useless, his telport shot is amazing tho
