[QUOTE="reiella, post: 65454, member: 160"] Hehe fair enough there. It's really a minor quirk (like the Style Immunity on items and gaining new styles). Immunities were nice when fighters didn't tend to gain huge gobs of styles. I tend to feel they take away from the random-ness of the fight itself as they just flat out guarantee a round unless it's a middle ranked Light or Honored Fighter (or someone who spent some yen on the activatable mastery power). Can run the math for you though if you want :). [b]Tier 2[/b] Yak possibility for a 3 point move for second tier is 1in2500 (1in50 for their single style, 1in 50 for their single location). Honored possibility for a 3 point move at second tier is 2in50 if they use their fist of fury with it, with an addition 4 in2500 chance of getting a four point move (again if they use FoF). Without Fist of Fury however, it is 0in50. Honored fighter also always wins a round 2 in 50 (in general). [b]Tier 3[/b] Yakuza posibility for a 3 point move is (1in50 for their style) and (3in50 for location) so 3in2500. Honored possisibility for a 3 point move without FoF is (4in50 for style) and (1in100 for one of their modifier bundles to show up) so 2in2500. With Fist of Fury it goes up to 3in2500 [There is also 4 and 5 point potential that scales, I might go do that if I get around to it after I finish this fight] They also have the possibility for 6 point moves (with FoF) (4in50 for style, 1in100 for mod, and 4in50 and 1in100 again). A rather improbable number (1in 1562500, effectively insiginficant). Honored fighters also always win a round 4in50. [b]Tier 4[/b] Yakuza possibility for a 3 point move is (1in50 for their style) and (5in50 for location) 5in2500. Honored possibility for a 3 point move without FoF is (6in50 for style, 2in100 for modifier bundle), so 6 in 2500. With FoF their 6 point move potential goes up to (6in50, 2in200 for mod, doubled) - 9/1562500. Honored fighters also autowin a round (6in50) [b]Tier 5[/b] Yakuza possibility for a 3 point move without Poison Blade is (2in50 for their styles) and (6in50 for location) 3 / 625. With poison blade the yakuza can get a 3 point move (2in50+6in50) 4 out of 25 moves. They can get a 4 point move 3 / 625 (using Poison Blade). Honored possibility for a 3 point move without FoF or mastery is (8in50 for style, 3in100 for modifier bundle) 3/625. With mastery, an honored fighter gets a 3 point move 3 in 100 times (modifier bundle). With FoF alone, an honored fighter gets a 6 point move (8in50, 3in100, doubled) 9/390625. With FoF and mastery, an honored fighters get a 6 point move (3in100 * 8in50 * 3in100) 9 in 62500. Honored fighters also autowin 8 out of 50. [b]Tier 6[/b] Yakuza's potential for a 3 point move (2in50)*(7in50) or 7 in 1250. With poison blade, it goes up to 9 in 50. Four point potential with Poison Blade goes is 14 in 250. Honored Fighter at (9in50, 1 in 25) 9 in 1250. With mastery it reduces down to 1 in 25. With FoF and masteries potential for a 6 point move is 1 in 625. Honored also autowin 9 out of 50 rounds. [b]Tier 7[/b] Yakuza's go up to 15 in 2500, and 15 in50 with poisonblade. Four point with PB is 15 in 2500. Honored go up to (10in50, and 1in20) 1 in 100. With Mastery, it simplifies down to 1in20. With FoF and masteries used, chance of getting a 6 point move is 1in40. And honored autowin 1 out of 5 rounds. [ doh noticed some math errors.. fixing them now ] [ Should be fixed now... anyway, at Tier 6 and Tier 7, honored fighters have a greater chance of 3 point moves without using their other powers, At tier 4 and Tier 5, the chances are equal. At tier 2 it is higher on the sole premise of impossibility :). Err oops, Tier 3 also has a 1 in 2500 higher chance for the Yak of generating a 3 point move, which btw, is 7.5x as rare as the chance for one of the three modifiers of a green belt to show up in YB1 ] [/QUOTE]
