Realistic Fight Mode

[Hibiki]

it would be a complete waste of time


who would do a game mode where u have to fight for like 50 minutes vs one person would be so boring not even worth bothering

And yet you feel that 3x would be a waste of time as well? I mean come on. We aren't talking about a mode that somebody would throw up on a lan once in a while; this would be an official game type for tournaments, and I would bet that after people caught on we'd see a lot of those servers. 3x is just enough to *not* drag out a fight with someone who isn't worth your time more than a couple of minutes, and *is* enough to make decent battles worth staging between competative gamers. Odds are you wont take a kamehameha straight to the face, so there's little to no chance of being instaggibed by an opponent who hides and throws a beam at you. That would be a valuable gameplay extension to prevent a few of the cheaper tactics from ending things too soon.

And since you've stated that it would take a fair amount of work to accomplish such minor alterations, if they were to actually attempt to set up a mode like this they could also properly adjust transformation power levels and the damage of certain characters' attacks, like Buu's candy beam and Piccolo's eye lasers.

We're talking about a potential official game mode for tournaments. If they didn't want to half ass it they could just put a little more work into it. It isn't like it would be a totally invaluable addition to the game, and they could put it in 1.6 if they wanted to, as long as it got in game.

They could make it like Lightsaber Duel's in JK2, where everyone is watching 2 people fight, and the winner goes on. But that would get kind of boaring if the battles were to long...

I will state for the third time that I did not intend this mode idea for internet server use, but rather as a fun way to combat friends, not total strangers, within ESF without dying too quickly.

Using this mode as a basis for tournament matches would also be a good idea which I hadn't considered before.

And if 50X is too much, as Sonic Booster said, what is to discount 3X? 5X? 10X? etc.

Another idea would be to put a slider or option for the server itself to decide on the starting hp and ki amounts, so everyone would have a personalised mode and could set the values to the settings they prefer for friendly matches, tournaments, and internet play...

Although I do realise that this sort of thing would require more time consuming coding, and so I still stick to my idea of a fixed realistic fight mode with a set X amount for hp and ki.

tahts not a bad idea..*posted above* it says somethin like a "tournament mode" that sounds cool.. like a duel mod? i remember something from a game where u challenge ppl and thered be different parts of the level where u fight 1v1 until one loses and they keep score like that. maybe not a tournament, but a dueling mod? :]
