That means some people might not scale to Thor at all, take the hint.
When you are in-game in a fight blocking is usually game mechanics.
A block in-game is almost always game mechanics when it comes to fighting games, aka of you see a health bar game mechanics are usually at play for fighting games
That wasn't my point, many games with fighting mechanics have blocks moves included in Lore, take DMC's Royalguard for example, and Dante uses it in MVC to block just like some other characters use their powers in order to do it (Let's say...Phoenix for example, the Marvel one), it's different from just closing their arms
Yes, I know Royal Guard has lore behind it, that doesn't mean that lore carries over to a crossover game and it certainly doesn't mean that a universal animation that applies to almost everything because of game balance should be enough for scaling speed. I mean, are you saying every single character in the game has NPI for being able to block fireballs, lightning and whatever?
You are correct, that is a good suggestion.
Action games have one single protagonist who is usually far superior to almost everything they fight, and both Royal Guard and the Golden Fleece have canon explanations behind the way they work, as such using them for stuff is acceptable. They are not the same as a universal game mechanic in fighting games that would scale to literally everyone.
We are mostly discussing and planning what to do and how, this thread should stay open as it's an ongoing work.
