We aren't going to agree that you read what I wrote. If you had, you would have seen this: "DD is still overwhelmingly likely to win this battle, but he’s likely to sustain noticeable (if not significant) damage before the encounter is over." and as such wouldn't have written this...

Dude...just say you didn't read what I wrote.

... The point is not whether I like how MSH plays or not. We were talking about whether or not the system can easily recreate common scenes from the comics; DD taking on 5 thugs is about as common as it gets, and MSH can't really recreate it well.

It doesn't just depend on the tactics; the math of the game means it can't simulate what happens in the comics very well. Keeping with my example, in the comic books, 5 thugs is not really a challenge for Daredevil; it's a pretty standard breeze-through encounter for him. DC Heroes RPG has a...

I looked at the rules to be sure...evading* ("The Evading character makes no attacks that round" page 27) and blocking ("The character using a block may take no other action..." page 28) meant no attacking at all. So...the DD vs. 5 thugs problems remains...yes? *And again, evading only works...

It WAS a trade-off if it was in a Slugfest; Dodging only worked against ranged and charge attacks, while evading worked against melee, and only one combatant at that. It also meant you could not make any attacks that round. Blocking also meant no other actions. So the Daredevil vs. 5 thugs...

I remember that one could make extra attacks, but I don't remember extra actions...

Sure, but that took their action for the round, no? DD is no closer to defeating the thugs if he does this.

Agreed. The mechanics had a hard time resolving things like they would in the comics. In MSH, Daredevil has a bit of trouble fighting and defeating 4 thugs; they're going to wear him out way more than they should. As well, DD can't really hurt Mr. Hyde, a common enemy from his run. DC Heroes...

Cooking our food was supposed to be a game-changer as well, no?

Man, there's no reading of what he wrote that could lead to this conclusion. Come on.

100% this. In sufficient numbers (which is how minions were encouraged to be used) they were the bigger threat. 13A has a minion mechanic as well, and players are not "let down" by discovering there are minions...quite the contrary.

A loss in 2022 is not the same thing as "verge of bankruptcy in 2022." It would be honest to walk that particular claim back, no?

That is not at all what he's doing. @Hussar can correct me if I am wrong, but fwict, if he got a response of "Yeah, it doesn't necessarily make sense, but me and my group just like it this way," he'd nod his head and say "fair enough." No, it's the arguments (especially with their...

Because we weren't specifically using the term "in flux." Obviously.

A simple perusal on your part of what he mentions in his post would demonstrate its truthfulness, I'm certain.

Sorry, so sorry! I am done responding here. My bad.

...who else could he possibly have fought?

No, you are mistaken. I don't have an opinion on who Snyder is. I have an opinion on the products he has made. I also know that said products are not solely his responsibility, and that there are a lot of chefs in the kitchen, so to speak, and so I can't ever be sure that what I am getting is...

Sure. I am sure you dealt with the hypersonic speed punches really well, too. Glad to hear it's not theoretical. And, again, this is Clark's first fight in his entire life.
