Perhaps, did just think of one way I could slightly improve the gameplay experience with the style that I’m surprised I didn’t think of before.
I don’t doubt I probably could simplify it more but I’ve already separate almost every single individual detail so I don’t think I’ll really bother doing more at this point. Maybe I’ll try to with the next suggestion.
Maybe I don’t have to do this, but I do still really enjoy doing it to be honest. It’s therepeutic to just let my thoughts paint a full picture rather than a fun little sketch so-to-speak.
Balance/Mechanic Change: Basic attacks will now only have 30% of your drawback rounded down from strain applied so it’s more reasonable to make use of them. They still hit harder and slower though.
I like to think this is a lost fighting style because the majority of people that try to learn it end up blowing themselves up hilariously. The main character of AO is special which is probably the only reason why they can only die from blowing themselves up using ultimate techniques at low health and having a heart attack from moving too quickly at 100% strain with this style.
I also think this style does fill its own niche stats-wise pretty well within the lost fighting styles category. Radius Fist is the definitive high attack size style, Impact Fist would be awesome for both size and damage but would logically be slow to build up, and Muscle Coiling would fit nicely as the definitive high damage + drawback style.
Promise I’m not trying to self-bump. Just was pondering how this style might fit in the game.
Starting to cook some new fighting style ideas but I’ve been a little busy lately building a whole workshop so they’re going to be in the ol’ brain oven for a while.
