KI Shield

[wOoOzZy]

i was watchin a DBZ episode today and saw somethin cool that ESF is missin. y not have ki shields? i dont mean regular shields that r made outa ki. nono... u kno how sometimes when someone shoots a beam at a character... say goku for now. when the beam gets close hell scream and release some ki. then the beam is sort-of blocked by the ki that he releases.
this could be an effective method of blocking w/o being forced into a block struggle. it would be an instant shield, and unlike gohans shield attack, it wouldnt stay on if u held down the button.
lets (for now) say that 'V' is binded to the ki shield. u see a beam or other ki attack flying at u. u wait until the beam gets close enough and then u press 'V'. if u time it right then the beam would get absorbed into the shield (not explode) then depending on how strong the other players beam is, u would loose a certain amount of ki from ur bar. if u dont have enough ki when u try to use the shield then its useless and the beam hits u. also, maybe if other characters r close to u (a little further than right next to u) they would get pushed back like getin hit, but w/ at most half the damage of being hit.
im sure there r many things about this that i havent thought of yet that will make this not work in-game... if its even possible in HL. but i think it would be pretty cool and a useful addition to the game. it would probably just take an altaring of gohans shield attack to make it work. if pcjoe is half as skilled at coding as he is a ESF then im sure he could do it. :laff:

it would be good but what good would beams be then if you vcant hit neone with them?

 

[wOoOzZy]

u can hit them tho. it would just be a counter-measure against beam whoring. u could use the ki-shield just as easily as blocking it. but w/o the bs. and if they didnt have enough ki to use the shield then it would hit them dead on. and it would take a significant amount of ki to use as well. not just a spec.

better...... a lil more specific about it this time... good. it would come in use. hmm i think it would need som,ething else... like what bout the person hits the "v" button and then like a orb forms around him for lets saying 5 seconds dealing half the damge of the real beam. like in the Trunks history movie..??

 

[wOoOzZy]

i dont remember that part... hmm, sounds like it could work either way. if ne1 else has ne ideas plz post. *lights the pcjoe signal, lighting the night sky*

Yeah the sheild is a good idea, be good if things like spirit bomd, death ball etc were not effectdted by the sheild though and hit you anyway....

Correct me if I'm wrong, but in DBZ wasn't this normally used only when one fighter was completely superior to the other? That is to say, the superior fighter would just stand there while his opponents energy attacks blow harmlessly over him or are deflected by a burst of Ki (the Capt. Ginyu vs. Goku fight springs to mind as an example). What episode was it you were watching, incidently?

But hey I like the idea. Needs to be tweaked so that it's not too uber though. Maybe there should be a threshold where if your opponent's attack is so much more powerful than you i.e. an SSJ Goku's Kamehameha with PL 4 000 000 vs. Krillen with a PL of 700 000, the shield simply won't work at all. Or maybe if your Ki bar is almost depleted when you try to start the shield, but your opponent's ki bar was almost full when they fired the energy attack.

its already in. if u have 5 millions and there comes a guy shooting u with 1 million kamehameha u just block and the beam is swatted away.

 

[wOoOzZy]

yeah, but this is for ppl who r close to even pl. and like i said b4, if u dont have enough ki to block the beam, aka: if the other person is much stronger than u, (ie. the stronger the beam the more ki it takes up when it hits the shield) then the shield is destroyed and u take a direct hit. and i think that usualy a SB or something like that would automaticaly take to much ki to block w/ the shield attack.. thats only cuz they take that from the servers average pl.. if that wouldnt work then they should make xceptions for those certain attacks (ie. sb, death ball). wuts the con to this attack? well say an attack like kame torpedos is fired at u, u would have enough ki to block maybe 3 or them.. then the other 3 would hit u and probably kill u. so this wouldnt make teleport and block obsolete, just would be better in certain situations.
