Super Gauge Economy: Burst Damage, Meter Gain, and Comeback Factor Mechanics
Executive Technical Summary:Resource management defines high-level fighting game play. The Super Gauge governs game-ending cinematic finishers and defensive escape bursts.
1. Meter Generation Mathematics
The Super Gauge holds 100 meter points. Meter generates through both offensive execution and calculated defensive trade-offs:
Landing a Normal Strike: +4 Points
Landing a Special Attack: +7 Points
Taking Damage (Per 10% HP Lost): +12 Points
Executing a Successful Parry: +15 Points
This dynamic creates natural rubber-banding: players taking damage build meter faster, giving them tools to initiate a comeback.
