Sounds like a fun idea.
Main points: lower your PL so you use less ki. This makes ki more expendable, like when your ssj in 1.2.3. keep other players from knowing how powerful you really are.
Details:
- a button on the keyboard will allow you to lower your PL down to less than what you'd start the game with. This will drop rapidly, but is not instant, the longer you hold the button down the further you suppress your PL until you are hard to pick up with the radar at a bottom most PL. holding this button and then pressing charge will charge your PL back up as well as your ki bar back up. from zero ki and lowest PL to full ki and full powerlevel will be different amounts of time. you will have a full ki bar before you hit max power level if your max PL is very high. it will take 5 seconds to go from 5 to 1 million powerlevel.
- Training while suppressed has little to no impact on how much your max powerlevel is. you will still have to train at full power to push yourself to a higher powerlevel.
- maybe also add something on the hud like an arrow pointing to other players. it will be easy to see and sit on the edge of the screen. This arrow will also change colors and get wider the closer the target is to you. Green means lower PL than yourself, red means higher than yourself. Yellow is on par with your PL. a positive or negative symbol +/- will be inside the arrow as well to tell you that the player is above or below you in the direction the arrow points.
- you cannot draw out full power instantly. in fact, it will take longer the further away the suppressed powerlevel is from your max power level.
- you will take more damage from attacks and do less damage with attacks.
- teleports will still draw a lot from your ki bar so that players will not be able to take advantage and spam teleports.
- everything effected by powerlevel will be restricted when you are powered down. For example flying will be slower, beam attacks will do less damage and melee will be much more weak.
- you can charge towards your full power if your locked in a beam struggle but the ki will be used up more rapidly when pumped into the beam depending on how close you are to full power.
conclusion:
all in all this would be a very fun feature if one can find a way to balance it into an already difficult to balance game. you can use it to match a friends power level who just joined the server or use defensively to hide from another player. You could even train to a high PL then suppress your PL to have more ki to practice with.
