[QUOTE="Vanor, post: 67403, member: 218"] IMO yes, DT and ST are better then Chi Strike, FoF and mod's. ST gives the fighter a better chance of winning the round, and a better chance of winning a 2 or 3 point round. DT tottaly voids out a round. Chi Strike, FoF are both completly at the whim of the judge and do nothing to insure who will win the round. And until like tier 6 or so... Modifier bundles are still pretty much a non factor. With 2 modifer bundles, the odds of seeing a 3 point move is pretty low. Insults never did this in any fight I remember. There was talk of them doing this, but it never happend. The fact that honor only had passive powers, was the reason the path needed so much work. And even though something has always been that way, isn't the best reson for something to stay how it is... Change for the sake of change is no better. And there is a point of staying true to the spirit of the game. I don't know where your getting this idea from. Strat games are played quite a bit different then standard games, so they do need slightly different rules, but I didn't get the impression anywhere that balance was only imporant in strat fights. Actualy from the numbers you posted, I wouldn't say that the honored path has a huge advantage. It was a mater of 1 in 50 on avg, which isn't much of an advantage. The biggest one is that the honored fighter will have more moves he/she is immune to, but the yak still has styles they are immune to. [/QUOTE]
