Power-Up Ring

[Kirano]

What if 17 had the power ring, what's the tier after Rage upgrade? What if you Burter had the power ring, what's the tier after Super Kaioken?

[Android 17]

I think that when Android 13 got the ring in 06 he called the 60x tier the EMO Upgrade.

[Kirano]

XD. What would you call it?

[Violet]

I'd call it the same thing, because everyone's going to be slitting their wrists once he comes bouncing around your corner.

[Kirano]

Yeah, I'd feel sorry for you guys.

[Android 17]

If I did, through some act of luck or divine intervention, wind up with the power up ring, I would use the same name. I forgot what it stood for...I think it's something like "Electronic Mainframe Overdrive Upgrade."

[Burter]

The cooling period will be equivalent to the power-up.

[Burter]

What if 17 had the power ring, what's the tier after Rage upgrade? What if you Burter had the power ring, what's the tier after Super Kaioken?

I think x60 should be an individual upgrade, not a race upgrade. In other words, I feel like everyone's should be customized for themselves.

[Uno]

Keep it.

[Jinpo]

Keep it!

The Jingo image in your avatar is pretty badass.

I would greatly prefer it to be modified in a way of "Your power level becomes equal to that of a nearby combatant." (That's the only way I can think to let you equal out with your opponent, because for the purpose of using the item, what exactly equals an opponent)

That way if Warako were fighting Rad at SSJ2, then he'd be even and able to fight. If Rad had it and he were to fight someone else that could only go SSJ, then he wouldn't just go to SSJ3 and obliterate him, he would just ignore his weapon and go SSJ2.

I also don't think 13 went to Tier 3 with it. I'm pretty sure he used it enough to gain some power up to like Tier 1 or something, but I think I was the first to go Tier 3 using that. Before my fingers were torn off.

Think I asked him if I could hold it to go analyze its power or something. And then never returned it. But still had him as an ally all the way up to the finals, while he waited for the ring that I used in the finals. That was golden.

I actually like that a whole lot better than the previous power of the ring. I think making you power equal is a good idea and there is really no threat of it becoming too strong, because if i come across Rad and now we are even, chances are he out rp'ed me so he will probably still gain the upperhand. It would now be more of an insurance policy which sounds pretty good to me.

[Reijin]

Note: I'm saying this as one of the stronger people in the tournament and someone that went SSJ3 using it during a final confrontation. I know how powerful it is, yes, I loved going that strong, and you better believe if it stays I'll try to get it again. I'm also being completely unbiased in my analysis of the strength of it and would rather see it as a "normalizing" tool than a "become even more godlike" tool.

[Raditzu]

I'm not big on that idea.

It would be the only weapon in the game that favors certain players over others. With the exception of power-ups, the whole point of DA's set-up is to create parity between players of different power levels. And even power-ups have drawbacks that can easily get you killed.

If this gets added, I think it would be only fair that a second ring gets added that removes the cool-down for tier 2 power-ups.

It's perfectly fair.

[Android 17]

Thirteen went to tier 3, Rei. He already had the RAGE upgrade, and he used the ring to try and kill you and Vegeta.

Regardless, I think the original concept of the item is a lot more fair than other weapons, such as the poison and so forth. I think it should stay with the bonus it gave in 06 or not return.

[Hellfighter 17]

I think Bra came up with the name EMO Upgrade, actually. A little while before DA06, too.

That was pretty awesome. I was pissed that I didn't try that or something. D=
