DQ ghost
Kind of thought about it while playing some wushu, when someone mentioned that the dq should be "clearer". Didn't spot a similar thread at first glance here as well.
Idea's relatively simple: Add the disqualification ring to the ghost, when the joint comes in contact with the dq area.
It's relatively easy to spot a possible dq anyway if you keep your eyes open, so it's not all that vital or necessary. It's just a minor doodle, really, for convenience. However it'd be simply easier when you're either running out of time and/or managed to overlook a detail in your next turn.

But why's the rum gone? :v

I see now the point Platabear has, with the suspense. It's like being on the edge of your seat, not knowing if you're going to fall off or stay there. But is that really necessary to have/play a good game?
Idk about the implosion thing. Might sound great but could prove counter-productive in game-play. Gets too messy and it might get harder to pay attention to specific joints, i don't know. Adding a dq-ring when it touches the ground seems easier on the eyes imo.
Again with the 'suspense' ;d .. It won't go anywhere, with or without the dq ghost. It's a natural part of any game. I recognize plata's argument here (which is worth more than some suspense), where it might make people more reliant on ghosts, but that's a whole other issue entirely. You can predict all sorts of possible outcomes in close-up fights. In other cases, it's about you trying to avoid dq while reaching your opponent again. Personally i feel no suspense in that, just foolish for screwing up a nice replay out of carelessness and we all get that every once in a while.

You'll never be able to know that, and even then you can't be sure. For the third time, gosh. The game experience will almost always remain unchanged, minus silly dq's. Try bringing some better negatives on this. You either are able to predict what happens next or not, and still make mistakes (there's your big surprise). Do i really have to go through all this again?

Reason: like seriously?

Not Supported, It's just silly really. If we add this where do we draw the line on the ghost being able to see things, don't try to convince me with your big paragraphs I won't support and never will.

I can't convince you for your support, but i can convince you from being naive. You think the length of my posts play any part in discussing this? Jay already cleared it up before i did, so it should answer your question, should be simple enough.

The ghost is never 100% accurate, all it does is tell you what's going to happen given the circumstances and the other player doesn't move. So, the DQ ghost wouldn't tell you if you're going to DQ, it would just point out that you're in path of a DQ given the current information.
I see no serious setback in this particular idea, what happens to the ghosts after this is implemented is another matter. Try harder than saying it's just silly, at least explain what i'm missing here, make a valid point. Otherwise your 'not supported' isn't worth a damn.
edit: if you're still worried about your suspense being taken out of the game, i'll give you something to actually be concerned about. http://forum.toribash.com/showthread.php?t=404924 <-- *this* is what you are afraid of. Not the dq-idea.
