So yeah I revised horizon shit which means God Hand's calc changes, but as I was working on that I thought I might as well overhaul Gene's profile, here y'go.
Things of note:
Things of note:
- Fixed P&A a bit, didn't really add any powers I think (don't wanna go back and check but like 70% sure) just added scans and elaborated on descriptions, also removed Danmaku cause rapid-firing energy attacks isn't enough for that.
- I split his first key into two, there's a pretty obvious growth in power (as evidenced in his 2nd key's AP section). I was unsure whether NG+ moves should go into his second or third key, but you don't really keep the second GH by the time you actually get them so I went with key 2. I'm fine with changing it though, it's pretty arbitrary either way.
- I went through the guidebook and Azel has a really explicit statement that says his power goes up by 1.5x when he unleashes his Devil Hand, which, for those who haven't played GH (big mistake, go fix that), is literally just the same as Gene's God Hand, he just called it that cause he thinks God Hand sounds dumb, no I am not simplifying that is literally just the reason. Anyways yeah awesome multiplier cool cool very cool yeah uh uh yeah.
- So uh this is the biggest thing or whatever but you know Elvis' statement of being 100 times stronger as a demon? We currently don't use that because it is like, a massive multiplier without too much evidence or whatever, yeah. And while that's true I actually think that it works out pretty well when you look at how the numbers line up. The strongest early game feats (performed before you fight Elvis' human form for the second time), multiplied by 100, is only 1.89x higher than the calculated High 8-C feat for shooting demon Elvis into the air (which I should mention isn't something Elvis has too much issue tanking, it's just an attack like any other). Our multipliers page stresses the importance of feats backing up the multiplied statistic, and I think that's definitely there. Additionally I would argue that a big jump in power makes sense narratively. In stage 4, which is the stage right before the demon Elvis fight, Gene gets his ass kicked by Azel, who he then goes on to beat in the endgame. Azel even one-shots a trio of minibosses, stressing the power gap further. Even just by learning new techniques Gene can multiply his striking power by several times. So uh TLDR big number but also not that big compared to the calc and also it makes sense i think i guess yeah.
