LAST TIME ON CODE TALK

Counterattack in a nutshell - the potential to prevent or even do damage, but at the cost of mana.

This is really interesting take on counters, and I like it!

(wooo, making a comment without complaining about potential math issues or worrying about potential problems)

[gamergeekgirl]

Hey, feel free to complain or worry. I post these things in part for useful pokings and proddings that our csys-inundated eyes might forget or take for granted. ;)

I'm glad you like it though! Thanks.

[mors_rattus]

Oh, trust me, I do. I just don't see any here, in contrast to some of the other posts. (Fortunately, most of those worries were addressed or based on my misunderstanding.)

Beamwar is the best thing ever.

[verbanonfacta]

Seconded on the beamwar.

[shachihoko]

Looking good!

I was wondering with the previous reactions post how something like Fuu's Guarding Wind (Mamori no Kaze, if you want the Japanese) would be represented; I take it that it'd most likely count as either an interrupt or a general defense buff?

[gamergeekgirl]

You could play it either way, though I'd be inclined to recommend you make it a counter. Buffs are boring, narratively. Counters are interactive by nature. ;)

So if we do a Battle Fantasia Kickstarter, can we get beam war added in? :D

I admit, this is probably the best approach to a counter command that I've seen so far.

[theeternalmind]

Oh man, I so want a beamwar.
