Remember: *The maximum power that a Ki attack can be has a set limit* that limi is set when you charge the attack up. Once that charge bar hits maximum, the attack gets no stronger, it just costs you Ki to hold the attack in your hands. So this idea of negative ki would not affect blocking these kinds of attacks. It would only give you the OPTION of trying to block it for longer IF you want to risk slower movement, no flying, knockout for a short period of time.
It DOES give the blocker a slight upper hand. For instance, if the blocker blocks a fully charged beam and they have only 25% ki in their pool. The ycan use their negative Ki to continue blocking it (benefits the blocker) but they pay the price for using that negative ki (does not benefit hte blocker). The choice comes down to the physic human playing the game.
2. The max power of all these ki attacks is set. It cant be increased by using neg-ki. It CAN be increased by a block or power struggle. But then again, what difference is it of starting a block struggle with 25% ki and using 75% negative ki to win that struggle, and using 100% positive ki (like we have now)?
The difference is this: If you were to use negative ki, you hurt your character's abilities. If you didnt have negative ki, you would lose the struggle and take the hit regardless. But if you had full ki, you would win the struggle and the huge explosion that occurs happens anyway.
Negative ki wont increase the damage that massive explosions do. The massive explosions are already in the game.
3. If Ki is a defining point of a power struggle, then how can negative Ki nullify that? Negative ki is: extra ki you CHOOSE to use in a struggle at the expense of your characters abilities. It just makes the struggles last longer if the players choose to.
4. Yes frieza might be disadvantaged a bit by this. But he has no beams either way. So he is "disadvantaged" with or without it. Maybe it is an advantage for him because he will never get to have the bad effects of using neg-ki except for in block struggles.
1/2-jojojo the thing is that while being on negative ki, you can just hide! there are some maps where, if you fall from fly, you get to a rare place and you can rest, like kami, you slowly walk to the bottom.
You really care for 1 death after killing 5 in one blow?
3-You dont choose,what if the beams start going up and both are traped in that useless powerstruggle, until it reaches the ceiling?
4-omg can you believe what you are saying?
You said:-Maybe it is an advantage for him because he will never get to have the bad effects of using neg-ki except for in block struggles. -
JA:laff: JA:laff: And if every class looks at their ki bar once in a while they would notice their amount of ki left and...
QUOTE: "will never get to have the bad effects of using neg-ki "
Its a disadvantage because every other class has an advantage
Cant you just admit some things!?!?!
I thought of something new: Ki is also involved in bloking, recovering, swooping and attacking in melee. Once again blocking is not matter of ki but of life and how you block.
Recovers from melle wich are a great ocation everyone looks for to storm them with kiblasts or something else disapears because you see him stand up and dont know if he has energy to swoop or anyhting.
In the series if they had "negative ki" -I have no more energis- They layed down like scat and watched how someone else fighted
