So, hey... I just heard back from Mahz.

Things are looking up and up.

Ranked/Unranked tags.

Among some other ideas, once he gets done with the contests. Including adding trophies for us.

He also pitched this idea

Hell, I'd even consider something zany (I'm just writing this off the top of my head) like a system where 2-4 players start a game (FFA or 2v2) with nothing on their character, spawned in some battlezone with a randomly generated description. And as they play, they get random "cards" that range from giving them random items to buffs to debuffs. And maybe the randomness + a point system gives it replay value?

And thus, I've replied. xD

So, essentially, they just need to hit the armor really... really hard?

[Ranked] Four Way: Convergence of Power

But seriously, about that armor - how strong is it? Can it resist all that Kevlar can x 50, at base, or is that something it has to be built up too? I understand armor offers some base resistance otherwise it would be useless, so what is the base it can do? Also, how does it disperse everything out over a wider area to reduce the damage, and if it is not Kevlar, but Kevlar was used as an example, how does it stop piercing attacks when they could slip between the cracks? It stands to reason armor like that would fair better against blunt trauma and be worse off against piercing attacks, and fairly neutral to cutting attacks.

But mommmmmm

[Ranked] Four Way: Convergence of Power

I look at Khan's characters all the same, level bosses. Lots of abilities, resistances/immunities/guarded againsts.

I can check it out though, but he has to really define what the stuff is made out of and how strong it actually is... at base.Spider silk, by weight, is really strong - so his armor could be weak as two fucks, but written to sound really ... really strong.

'Blood Bending' isn't allowed in Arena, it would fall under direct character manipulation.

That would be ridiculously OP, my character could seize control of the water in an opponent's body and drown them from the inside within a twenty foot radius if such a thing was allowed, which is why it isn't.

@MelonHead

unless you managed to put some of Anna's body(insofar as what she originally starts with, and not what she adds later) in them.

then that's their fault.

manipulate it.

Can you actually make a video of you nodding so I can see what the win nod looks like? I feel like I need that validation in my life.

@MelonHead

I tell you what, if we actually get a full fight in one day without life deciding to fuck with me, and you win - I'll make a win nod video for you.
