Boxers Fracture/Anti-flailing

[young slate]

1. Feature
   -Delivering too many punches too fast or just swinging wildly can fracture your hand
   -The hand would be rendered unusable when broken until healed

2. Why do we need this?

I think we need this as an anti-flailing measure. One of the most annoying things about fistfighting in VR is a skilled boxer can be killed by some kid just swinging.

You can see this annoyance happening in Thrill of The Fight 2.

This would prevent people from swinging like an idiot and atleast trying to properly fistfight.

Picture 1 is a boxers fracture; pictures 2 and 3 are proper fists

You said bone fractures are gore so this is also gore then

[young slate]

nah its an anti-flailing mechanism, not gore

[young slate]

also, you say this as if bone fractures are not gore

stupid boy

[frigid trout]

How are you gonna punch with good form as you say?

There’s no finger tracking

[young slate]

Hmmm...

It could be just pressing to make a fist rather than having an open hand and flailing with that

[frigid trout]

Ye slapping has been suggested

[young slate]

I just think a system against being able to just swing like an idiot and take a chunk of hp out would be good

[frigid trout]

Do you have a reference video for how it should not be?

in this video you can see the guy just swinging wildly with no technique or strategy

[fossil shoal]

man fuck thos ppl

[potent mountain]

The main problem with this system is detection

You could just be popping a combo on a guy just to suddenly get your arm broken

And that wouldn't be fun especially if you learnt that for some time

[stone summit]

Too realistic

[halcyon compass]

TOTF has added a mechanism that makes players spamming hits and swinging wildly more prone to KOs and damage in general

[timid tide]

Yeah thats realistic tho, if you are punching a skull over and over again fast and hard it doesnt matter if your "comboing" them you still are going to get hurt either way

Then again if you hit someone hard enough you could just punch them once

[halcyon compass]

Yeah but that's just realism, not the fun realism you look for in a game

[timid tide]

Yeah but really if your punching hard enough to break your hand and its not knocking them out of at least stunning them it either means your hand is made of glass or the game is unbalanced

most street fights dont last that long because a single hard punch can either ko someone or even kill them

[halcyon compass]

aight fair enough

[young slate]

Flailing your arms like an idiot and getting a KO isnt fun for the other player

[young slate]

Sounds like you dont know how to box and just wanna flail to win

[halcyon compass]

I know, that's why I proposed a solution similar to thrill of the fight instead of something so complex for the devs as breaking individual bones

[young slate]

I dont think breaking your hand is complex, guy

[halcyon compass]

.

(Sorry for the mention anon)

[young slate]

Its pretty simple, punch too fast and risk a broken hand

[halcyon compass]

Oh ok I thought you wanted to make it based on how you punch, technique and shi

If it's only about speed then I totally agree

[young slate]

I just dont want kids doing windmills and somehow KOing me

[potent mountain]

So if you hit hard you are at a disadvantage

Makes sense

[young slate]

you rn

since when have “hard” and “fast” been synonymous

[stone summit]

I don’t flail I do boxing in real life bud

[potent mountain]

In games? They're pretty much the same

We aren't about real life

Games rely mostly on velocity and weight to calculate punches
