New Power-ups

[Kaden]

I'm not talking about trying to incorporate your stats into everything you do. Stats are there for the fights we write, nothing more. It irks me to see some people so blatantly disregard the statistical limitaions of their characters.

Namekian Nirvana is a cool ability, but I think you're making it out to be a little more powerful than it would end up being. Lets take Kami and Raditzu, for example. If both of us had our level powerups at this exact moment, Kami would have a ki of about 65 million. Not too shabby at all. In addition, his speed would be 17,670. Now, Raditzu's ki would be almost 95 million. His speed would be 28,800. So, in this case, Kami would know what Raditzu was about to do, but you have to consider who likely it is for him to do anything much more than brace himself for the impact of the hit. NN is no more powerful than any of the other powerups. Assuming they're not abused, of course.

Reccoome, I was talking about DI increasing Determination, not Intelligence. Boosted determination would help a character get up faster, and more regularly. It would keep them from being mentaly overwhelmed by their opponent's strength. It would allow them to push their body further, and harder than anyone else. They would be able to, in essence, ignore any pain. It basically makes them immune to all of the mental effects of fighting someone stronger than yourself.
