(Bit of an argument follows from here, until we figure it out.)

maybe a super could give him a buff that makes his block crazy for a while
?
and then he walks up to you and throws you
Sotek - Yesterday at 8:00 PM
spike block
bug_deal - Yesterday at 8:00 PM
since you’re afraid to hit him
GRAG - Yesterday at 8:01 PM
I could see him using his staff for some crazy combination of aikido and bartitsu

Lum B: Ball, C: item…jB I dunno, jC Coin Toss?

i think a super BLOCK would not really feel great because it would be more like a parry
but “bubble install” to buff his block for a while sounds cool
then jump super could be blowfish spikes and he just rains down shit like storm or something
NiGHTcapD {Shyne} - Yesterday at 8:03 PM
Well, something that causes automatic semiblocking was already described by me. Unless you have another idea about how to buff his block?
bug_deal - Yesterday at 8:04 PM
semi blocking isnt fun. making his block scary like bubble shield is fun
GRAG - Yesterday at 8:04 PM
Yeah, super block doesn’t sound much fun unless it’s really just a counterhit super
bug_deal - Yesterday at 8:04 PM
buff him for 5-10 seconds so his blocks give him a bubble that absorbs 1 hit
if he blocks something he gets a bubble
bubbles stack
GRAG - Yesterday at 8:05 PM
One major selling point of the game is that rounds are quick and concise
bug_deal - Yesterday at 8:05 PM
he armors through shit
NiGHTcapD {Shyne} - Yesterday at 8:05 PM
Defend your position. Start by describing block buff you just did.
bug_deal - Yesterday at 8:05 PM
or maybe the bubbles hurt you or have potential to
GRAG - Yesterday at 8:05 PM
Unless he’s part of the 5 HP club
bug_deal - Yesterday at 8:06 PM
maybe he blocks and gets a satellite bubble
GRAG - Yesterday at 8:06 PM
Strider Hiryu styles
Ourobubbles
bug_deal - Yesterday at 8:06 PM
soul satellite style
NiGHTcapD {Shyne} - Yesterday at 8:06 PM
That would be an interesting Hex of Murkwood.
bug_deal - Yesterday at 8:06 PM
not options haha
GRAG - Yesterday at 8:07 PM
Oh or
Maybe the bubbles revolve around the opponent, and they can’t attack for five seconds without risking getting hit by the bubbles?
bug_deal - Yesterday at 8:07 PM
that depends a lot on their moves… might be hard to design moves such that they all have options with an orbital bubble
NiGHTcapD {Shyne} - Yesterday at 8:07 PM
I almost want to nvm Blowfish Spikes so that he has two different defensive buffs; your idea and mine.
bug_deal - Yesterday at 8:07 PM
all characters i mean
GRAG - Yesterday at 8:08 PM
OR it removes one button from the opponent for 5-10 sec
NiGHTcapD {Shyne} - Yesterday at 8:08 PM
Except no. One of those should probably be left for arena mode.
GRAG - Yesterday at 8:08 PM
Like if you get hit by the bubble shield super you lose B or C
bug_deal - Yesterday at 8:08 PM
i have 2 ideas. both are give him 5-10 second buff where he gets a bubble for blocking hits.
then either bubbles are hits of armor
or satellites.
GRAG - Yesterday at 8:09 PM
In my head Arg’s fighting style is all about disabling threats instead of aiming to harm or kill
NiGHTcapD {Shyne} - Yesterday at 8:09 PM
Bubble Shield super, let’s go with that and put my idea in Arena mode instead.
bug_deal - Yesterday at 8:10 PM
it might not turn out that great anyway…
NiGHTcapD {Shyne} - Yesterday at 8:10 PM
GRAG That’s the idea with his normals; disable threats before they can get close.
bug_deal - Yesterday at 8:10 PM
people might just avoid attacking his blocks at all costs and wait it out
which yeah it does something but it would be lame if he never actuAlly got to block and trigger something in “real” play
as an example
NiGHTcapD {Shyne} - Yesterday at 8:10 PM
Hey there Sirlin. Like what you see?
bug_deal If that’s the case, then maybe they can try to throw him to remove it instead of waiting it out? Then he would have to attack or yomi their throws, but then he could be attacked.
bug_deal - Yesterday at 8:13 PM
oh, that sounds fun
NiGHTcapD {Shyne} - Yesterday at 8:13 PM
So basically hit it to remove it, same deal as in Yomi.
bug_deal - Yesterday at 8:13 PM
er
yeah
super activates good blocks
they last until he gets hit or thrown
though now that i’m thinking about it
NiGHTcapD {Shyne} - Yesterday at 8:14 PM
Logic somehow manages to bring it back into its original form.
