Energy levels/fighting balance

[Parody_Master01]

In the manga/shows characters have shown that their ki increases their power. So when they charge they basically spread that power and grow stronger.

As well when ki goes down so should your % power. In the Cell saga Gohan wasted time toying with Cell and when it came down to it he only had half the ki he originally did, then stating “I’m not strong enough. My power is cut in half!” making him the strength of a super saiyan instead of a 2 while holding that form.

So the idea is in fights if your ki goes down it should bring your % down too, making it more taxing/more strategic to fight than just sitting in a form at max without drawbacks all day. You can wait for their ki to run low and attack when they are weak in a form you have more or less mastered in comparison (SSJ3 vs full power SSJ)

Just a thought.

Yeah dude, that could be lit ngl. Like, your % going down 5% every time you lose 5% of your max ki.
But uh, the main problem with this is speed. If you’re at 5% power, you also use 5% of your speed, which makes you suicidal.
Though, if you could make your base speed like 60% of your 100% speed, and then each 5% increase in your power output increased your speed by uh, 2%, this feature would be just perfect.

That can be a problem for ki blasts users who can lose their ki wya faster than other styles.
But otherwise tis god damn good.

[Parody_Master01]

True, but this can also make reason for Jin to mess with Ki attacks more so people can find ways to use fast ki blasts and such without losing all their ki in one long charged blast

[Parody_Master01]

or more of a reason to have Jin work on balancing the ki attacks so it doesn’t take 4 years to charge one blast that takes all your ki

Nah not really, you can change how much energy ki attacks cost in the configs. You could easily make it so they cost like 15% of what they cost now, which would be the best option if this thing gets added.

[IAmRaptor]

Ah good point. But speaking about config, forms’ki drain is configurable too, and could be set really low, or changed into regen instead.
And now that i think about it, that’d make passive regen actually useful if you fall/stay under 50%.
Aaah whatever, even if it happens it will be certainly configurable, so everything would be up to players/servers teams.

i like you idea but i dont think you should loose your % if your in a form i think the max of that form keeps getting weaker and weaker with ki loss and when it reaches a certain point(and i dont mean when you loose all you ki i mean a certan point like half way or somthing) you either loose that form or go to the form before that as you cant hold your current form and when you go into the form before the one you where in you will have a bit more ki than you already had so it would of been stronger than teh form you where in but it will get weaker when teh first ki drain comes so for a bit you will be stronger than you last form but it wont be for long so it will get weaker but in the beging you will still have more ki when you loose your other one to balance it and for base form instead of making it so that when you loose ki you get weaker you get tierder so you will have a temperay power loss for around liek 30 secs-1 min
