That would be cool, then the bases could make a big Ball that is divided into 2 colors, just like the PS between Ultra-Cell and SSJ2 Gohan.

It would be nice to have a few electric sparks where the beam heads are as well, just to add to the effect.

well i'm not sayin it has to be an explosion, just some sort of effect when the beams hit rather than just know they hit because you see the ps struggle meter

I've always thought that, but it's purely cosmetic and would be done much later anyhow.

I think an effect similar to the one i'm suggesting should also happen when in 1.2, 2 people usin 1.1 melee style hit eachother and both fly back

u know....if it would be the same as the KIBLOB explosion thing, it could be nice, just need to amke the opacity a bit higher so u can see trough it, and the same color as the beams and maybe a lil lightning sprite that flies around it could give a nice effect

it wouldnt cause any more lag than any other explosion sprite does.
and yes i agree that there should be some sort of effect when two beams collide.

thats what i thought, just a regular explosion wouldnt cause any more lag, and with the new explosions it would look really sweet to see 2 beams hit and that happen

OK I'm tired of this LAG Crap. Half life is so Outdated, not to flame anyone and their computers, but, please, they invented upgrades and jobs for a reason.

This would be a good thing BECAUSE Multiple POWERSTRUGGLES, you don't know if your teamate needs help. Now if theyres a big nifty glow when one hits another, you could be like OH ****, Vegeta needs help, teleport over there and go go.

ESF should fix what issues they have now and not worry about adding eye candy, the requirements will always be the same requirements as the Half-life box. If you don't have them, well sir, you are ****ed.
