"Fight club (short and sweet)"

Beat 'em ups, don't ya just love. We all enjoy a bash now and again (some more than others) and it's said to be de-stressing (if thats a word). There also getting more realistic as time goes on, just look at Tekken for example. One thing that doesn't change though is the way you can finish someone. When your energy bar is depleted, why can someone K.O. you just by kicking your ankle!!! Come on, if your tired out from, say, running, or football, if someone thumps your leg, you don't pass out, so why is this the case in fighting games. On the other hand, if someone SLAMS your head as hard as they can, your goin' down. So developers, its simple, instead of being able to K.O. your opponent by kicking his ankle, make it so you have to hit his head. More realistic, and it keeps the pressure on for longer. (oh, and if you think the opposition would just block when there energys low, well, go for their 'nether' regions and when there clutching 'em, go for the head shot).
And if it's a lass, well, I can't be bothered writing anymore, I'm sure there are lots of possibilities, have you got any ideas?

It wouldn't be one!


haven't you heard of bushido blade (the original, not crappy ps2 version) now THAT was a proper slash-em-up

*big smile on her face*
That's okay.

no, sorry, i wasnt trying to be rude.

I'm not mad I jsut wanted to know,no need to get offensive.

Dont ask. Seriously.
If you must know read the unfair trading on the net post, carefully so you dont miss the key moment when i mess up.
Just please dont get mad at me like everyone else.

I just wanna get on with my life and my gad attempts.

How on earth did you get banned?

Hey, if you can think up a better fighting game system, id like to hear it.

Boxing works on a points system, so why cant beat em ups?

Sorry 'bout that, damn keyboard!

I think like Ice Hockey games have minor fight situations, football games should also. You get fouled, the game moves to a cutscene and then the referee shouts "FIGHT". Then you and your opponent have a little bash at each other to the crowds amusement then when it's all over one of you will either get sent off or booked depending who performed the most effective moves.

Cool huh?! A mixture of genre.

True. I've always found it too unrealistic when you K.O. someone just by a slight tap to the ankle. Energy bars are to blame, but what is a beat-em-up without energy bars?

It wouldn't be one!
