Alright, so I've been brainstorming about this for a little while seeing how much of a disaster the FFA was. It's been a thought in my head ever since I got here and saw the 'competitive' scene as well. I've tried a few times before to offer a way to fix it, but none of the ideas took off. Call me insane, but I want to try again.
This idea would be able to solve to arbitrary way we deal with Bijuu fights. For starters, we all know that the people involved have very powerful characters in order to deal with the 'meta' of this place. There's not much involved besides being the guy who writes the most on your character's wiki page of what they can do. Custom techniques make this even more difficult because people can create some very broken abilities when it comes to custom stuff. Also, look at something like competitive Pokemon. In those cases, the pokemon are usually at a set level with maxed whatever stats they could potentially have. So maybe giving everyone the same baseline stats could work too. So what I'm proposing is the ideas of dice rolls again, but in a much more simple way than I've previously tried implementing.
So the general consensus is that you get three actions per turn. My idea is that for every action, you would roll a die. (d20/d100/dwhatever is agreed on) These dice rolls would be made on a dice rolling website that kind of logs the dice rolls, that way it can't be abused. The next part is where I kind of am unsure about and have two potential ideas.
- The responding player writes up their post, then rolls the dice for each of their actions. Depending on what they get as a result, they either go back and edit their post to describe their successful execution or failure to dodge.
- The player rolls the dice while writing up their post, allowing them to adjust their post based on the dice rolls they got.
And I'm still not exactly sure on the numbers system that we can use. Basically, I was thinking if that you rolls within 3 above or below the opponent's number, it's basically a draw and would play out like it normally does (dodging, stalemate, etc). So this means that if I rolled a 10, a draw would be 13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7.
If it's greater than three, but less than 7, then it would be a failure/success and the post would be made accordingly. So if I rolled a 10, their action would 'win' if they got 14, 15, 16 and 'lose' 6, 5, 4. A critical success/failure would be anything beyond that.
But to try and see if this is viable, I would be willing to have a mock bijuu battle with anyone. Only rules would be that we would have to use a non-main jonin or below canon character and can only utilize abilities that are from their moveset/canon and that you can have any bijuu you want but must utilize their canon abilities. Could I get some opinions on this idea? It should effectively get rid of the need to 'judge' bijuu fights.
