    Platformer Durability Question

    Is a platformer video game character falling a great distance during gameplay (like jumping from a floating platform to all the way down to the ground) a valid durability feat, or do we dismiss it as Game Mechanics?

    Akatsuki Blitzkampf - Addition Sequel Gameplay Mechanics

    Alright, I hope this goes really quick. En-Eins Perfektwelt, ABK's sequel, has a few new mechanics that translate fairly well to actual abilties. Everyone should receive these abilities. Double Jumping: It's pretty simple. I'm not sure if this should be labeled under Pseudo-Flight or enhanced...

    Where do we draw the line between game mechanics and when an ability is really indexable

    Even with an entire page being dedicated to this topic, sometimes it's really hard to tell in some franchises.

    Some people say that Kiryu fighting style was a game mechanic and can't be used. Its that true?

    Standards for "turns" in turn-based games?

    Yea, I know the title's confusing, so I'll explain it here. How long do we assume turns last in a game with turn-based combat? Let's say a basic, run-of-the-mill enemy can cast a debuff on someone that doesn't last permanently, but rather gets dispelled after a few turns. Do we assume the few...

    Some questions about Game Mechanics

    so I decided to calculate a couple feats of some games and I want to know if they're game mechanics or not. 1. Ore falling (Roblox tycoon) 1.1)-Basically from a Roblox tycoon there's an iron cube of a size of 18.48*18.48*18.48 meters, I calculated the Kinetic Energy of it falling (and also its...

    Why are evasion or blocking feats within a video game (by the player) not considered game mechanics?

    For example, in Geralt of Rivia's profile and in this calculation they use feats where a person blocks or dodges attacks using The Witcher's blocking mechanic and Genshin Impact's evasion.

    Actual power or game mechanics?

    I’m attempting to create a page for a video game character, and one of the lesser powers of the character is that he can absorb energy and use it to fuel some of his other powers through the use of an item. The thing is, the game only mentions it once, briefly, and is really rather vague about...

    Scratch Damage exists.

    Game Mechanics basically says that scratch damage doesn't work IRL. This is false, creatures in the real world can be harmed by attacks far below their attack potency, and as there's a limit to how long they can keep recovering for, will eventually die. I'm pretty sure it's not talking about the...

    How do we deal with hit chance attacks?

    As the title says, how do we deal with attacks that gameplay wise only have a chance of hitting? Lets say that there's a death spell in an rpg that only has a 10% chance of successfully killing a target, do we treat the percentage as a limitation of the spell? Or do we treat the percentage as...

    Dimensional Storage vs Game Mechanics

Do we just give it to any character with an "Inventory"? Do we give it to any character that inexplicably carries an absurd...

    Settling a Debate About Kirby's Empathic and Morality Manipulation.

    I'm having a debate about the Friend Heart. We all know that empathic and morality manipulation is considered hax, which thus means it negates durability, but this doesn't work on bosses if they aren't defeated. I suggest that we add a note in the Friend Heart subdivision of Kirby's notable...

    Nuclear Throne small CRT

    The cast shouldn't have attack reflection. The main reason for them to have it is because they can reflect bullets in-game, but that's nothing more than Game Mechanics. Literally nothing justifies a humanoid fish deflecting a bullet with a wrench like if it was a baseball and a baseball bat...

    Game Mechanic question

    So in an RPG if character A fights character B and states they have no way of actually beating them, yet they have hax that character B hasn't shown to resist outside of gameplay does that mean character B would get resistances to those abilities or no?

What if absolutely everything in that game that was blatant game mechanics could be used as legit feats for tiering and abilities? And...

    Game Mechanics or Not?
