What if damage went past 999%?

[TakDragon7]

I was thinking about this for a while. I think that'll be cool to see how long you'd last before you fly off the screen.

 

[Mr.GAW]

It would be a bit pointless, I mean, you can't fly off much quicker than you do with 999%. Unless you die from a fireball or something. I don't see the point though.

 

[Fawriel]

List of changes:
-The Black Hole glitch could make the game crash.

End.

 

[Tera253]

unless you play Metal Melee with the damage ratio cranked down to 0.1;
seeing as those are speculation, who knows?
~Tera253~

 

[Red Shirt KRT]

No one ever gets to 999% as it is. I don't think i've seen anyone break 400% ever in a legit match. There wouldn't really be a point to making it go higher.

 

[McFox]

I agree with Red Shirt. Going past 999% would be superfluously ludicrous.

 

[digitalmaster287]

Yeah the game doesnt ever go up to 999% anyways. It would be pretty much impossible in a legit game where both people were trying to win. That is, unless they start a Fox ditto and both blaster each other o.0
What I'd be more interested in is CPUs going past lvl 9.

 

[TakDragon7]

Well, if you have the right stage to get boo-koo damage and the right characters to fight against that won't kill you that quick, then that could work just maybe.

 

[MAtgSy]

What would be the point aside from the mandatory Over 9000 joke?

 

[The Slayer]

Good idea, but RS pretty much says it all, unless you are into more party-like battle.

 

[Plomid]

on the other hand if you add point xxx.x then there would be more variation in damage dealing. thats always good.
more variations a choices=more ways to play the game.

 

[TakDragon7]

yeah I agree. Plus, like what Tera said about the damage ratio, that'll help at least.

 

[DrGrimReaper]

Lol, make the max 9001..

IT'S OVER NINE THOUSSANNNNDD!!!!!

 

[HideousBeing]

If, for whatever reason, you exceed 999%, or just take damage at that point, you should immediately die. The death flash would just blaze where you are, and that would be it- next stock.

 

[TakDragon7]

Yeah. I see what you are talking about. That would be cool.

 

[Egg Roll]

It pretty useless
How about if you hit 1000%
you explode

 

[full_95]

superfluously ludicrous.

haha, you must have your roget's thesaurus by your side. (ive always thought "thesaurus" should be the name of a dinosaur)

and as for the topic, 999 is quite high enough. plus, its a tribute to chrono trigger, the greatest game in all the land...

 

[DeeDoubleU]

999% wouldn't seem so much with a damage ratio of 10.

 

[Keku]

When damage goes over 999%, a kitten dies.

 

[Artistry]

I have never seen a pro go past the 300-400% range in a match, so I don't see any reason why damage should go over 999%.

 

[TakDragon7]

I can get past 300 or 400% easily but I know it's hard to get to 999%

 

[Tera253]

I have never seen a pro go past the 300-400% range in a match, so I don't see any reason why damage should go over 999%.

because not all of us are pro.
~Tera253~

 

[Oskurito]

How about if you hit 1000%
you explode

LOL

What if damage went past 999%? It'll just past to a number that is higher than 999% ^^

 

[McFox]

haha, you must have your roget's thesaurus by your side. (ive always thought "thesaurus" should be the name of a dinosaur)

Nah, I'm an English major. I'm more like a walking thesaurus.

 

[Sandy]

I was thinking about this for a while. I think that'll be cool to see how long you'd last before you fly off the screen.

"Vegeta, what's the scouter say about his damage level?"
"It's OVER 9000!!!"

 

[DeeDoubleU]

Some people might prefer to have significantly longer lives instead of playing with more lives. Honestly, I see no problem with apeasing that desire with something as easily changed as adding an extra digit to the damage indicator and allowing damage ratios to be scaled anywhere between .1 and 10.

 

[Tera253]

imagine getting 5280% with a daamge ratio of .1
~Tera253~

 

[TakDragon7]

lol yeah. That would be awesome. You'd just be barely holding on too.

 

[Red Shirt KRT]

If, for whatever reason, you exceed 999%, or just take damage at that point, you should immediately die. The death flash would just blaze where you are, and that would be it- next stock.

That would be a cool idea.

 

[captain smashie01]

fact:
around 600% you can kill with the first hit of marth's nair
& at 999% needles knock you half the way across fd
so I guess there'd be more scope for silly moves KOing

 

[DeeDoubleU]

Again, damage ratio.

 

[full_95]

Nah, I'm an English major. I'm more like a walking thesaurus.

haha, you're one of those huh? im a geo major so i get my fair share of overly advanced vocab from all those scientists trying to sound real smart in their papers, fukkin d!ckheads .

 

[LavisFiend]

I don't think it should be altered...

Now as for the pyrotechnics from exploding off of the level...

Let's make those better.

 

[Mic_128]

because not all of us are pro.
~Tera253~

Then there's less chance of surviving that long in a normal game.

 

[captain smashie01]

Again, damage ratio.

lets not get into the whole damage ratio thing... it works totally differently than adding percent etc...

 

[The Black Cat]

999% is the cap obviously, it only has room for 3 digits.

So if somthing magical or a glitch occured. The game would crash, and then the same thing that happens when you divide by 0.

Of course everyone knows what happens when you divide by 0...


(things start imploding all over the place, even air, space, and things build un-implodable)

 

[TakDragon7]

Yeah. I see your point but it wouldn't hurt to try tho.

 

[DeeDoubleU]

Uh, wrong. The actual value is stored in an 16-bit unsigned integer. The true maximum value is actually in the neighborhood of 65500.

And even in the case of an overflow, the game would probably just throw the exception anyway.

Of course, thats all aside the point. This kind of change would be so obscenely easy to make that it isn't even funny.


As for the damage ratio, I'm pretty sure it just applies the multiplier to your current damage when doing the calculations for knockback velocities.

 

[Red Exodus]

Unless they made a minigame an enclosed stage to see who can keep their damage lower than their opponents' then it wouldn't made sense.

 

[Evil E.]

Well if you think about it there is no need for you to have higher prcentage because you already flying out at top speed whethter 900% or 901%
