I can still take my brother down and he took karate and kung fu for years. It's not necesarily training and grace that carry the day, sometimes it's just being the bigger guy(now) or fighting dirty(earlier in life) I still fight dirty, but I'm also bigger than a good number of people my age.
essentially, why not have something a bit closer to regular old street fighting? sneak up on the guy, headlock, kidney punch, slam his head into a wall, throw to the floor and then stomp their spine for all you're worth. they make an input at the right time(before the stomp) they roll out and the fighting proper starts(my view is rock,paper,scisors, fourth option. x beats y, cancels z).
Well, maybe we can have different styles for all bloodlines (I'm sure some bloodlines in each race have a focus on undisciplined fighting). All martial arts should modify your basic melee attack (boxing makes it slower but with more damage, etc.) and its animation. But if you decide to use your special moves, I suggest a short grappling QTE (more of a minigame actually) with three attack options (Boxing could have hook, uppercut, and jab) if you initiated the sequence, and three defense moves (Boxing could have sidestep, duck and backstep) if you're being attacked. People with no martial arts equipped would have only a dodge option (which would maybe auto-fail 20% of the time). Both people choose their move quickly, and have to input a different button combination. The person who does it first deals damage and makes the loser suffer some kind of consequence (I can imagine some fighting styles having more impressive effects for either their defense or offense moves. Aikido would definitely have a lot of strength in defense). The downside is, you have to actually get within fighting range of the person you're attacking. I can imagine some scout users speccing into a pure martial arts build the same way some go exclusively Nova Knives. |
