K.O system
Make an option where you can set a certain number of damage points and once you hit that number your tori relaxes all. It could be used for tourneys and what not or sparring.

Kinda tired but I'll try making as much sense as I can.
I hope you read the previous posts before supporting this since I thought it was pretty clear but onto the points:
What events can you do with this that you can't already do?
It's just a obligatory relax when you hit a certain amount of points. As far as I've tried thinking about it, this game-rule could easily be replicated without any additions to the game.
Would it be worth working on just this thing instead of something else?
I'm sure there are a lot of things Hampa tends to implement into this game by now that are more important, more demanded and make more sense.
Would it be hard to implement?
No, I don't think it would. I'll give you that.
Do we benefit by adding a lot of options?
Not in my opinion, no.
We want to make a concrete impression when we launch for Steam and these new players won't know that this is just a thing people wanted for events or w/e.
Every option in the game will be thoroughly checked as the Steam-tsunami of players arrive and I know we could add much more interesting stuff for them.
I imagine the biggest motivation for this would be for things like dodgeball or other competetive non-melee gamemodes where damage is the goal.
I don't see why setting a limit to the frames or forcing a win on contact isn't enough but I understand there are some things the frame limit can't do.
I just don't think that's reason to add this.
(Let's not forget how terribly impossible aiming gets with some distance either)

I like the idea, new kind of events could be made, and a whole new metagame could start from this (also new mods too).

Leaving this in because I looked at it while typing. Maybe it proves a point too, idk.
PM me with any and all questions

Yeah, I did.

There can be tourneys hosted by GM's, or even hotseats.

If it brings in more enjoyment for the people, why not? it doesn't seem hard.

Nope, just messing a bit with triggers.

Well, people started to complain when betting was added. Then they started liking them so much that there is almost always a betting room up. We do benefit, since it will add more diversity at the kind of events hosted by gm's, plus adding new objetives to the game is pretty fun.

Couldn't clearly understand you there. Anyways, if this potentially gets hosted, a gm (or whoever the hoster is) would be explaining this beforehand.

Sure we can. If you have an idea, suggest it, there's a whole board for it.
Don't really see the use of getting knocked out from someone punching you in the leg, but if it applied to specific bodyparts (for example the head), it could do for some really interesting gameplay. I mean boxing and striking mods has all the benefit in the world from this.

Even if people set it to a low one then that makes the fighter a bit more cautious, and wouldn't it also depend what mod your playing? I would only turn this on for spar.
