sounds like good wincons for both yea
Added a new location, which should give the Xenomorph a better chance here due to the place's size. It can make better use of its crawling and acid splitters stuff should work more effectively now
This V2 isn't the same as the original one, she should just scale her skills to Jack (who is still really whack but uh, ya know, not on V1's level)
A bit weird for me tbh, since V2's movement speed is actually quite comparable to their combat speed. Someone like Jack and Mr. Bullet can perceive bullets and missiles as much slower than they should be, and they can move relative to them. So I wonder if speed is equalized like this, would V2 necessarily be slower or just as fast as Xeno running-wise ? (
Since V2 has a faster combat speed fast their speed is getting equalized to the Xeno so they would be as fast combat speed wise but afaik the Xeno can still have a faster travel speed since V2 doesn't have Travel speed feats on profile.
Does V2 slide way if Jack runs up to them in the boss fight? Looking at the gameplay, it doesn't seem like they move away if the player gets close, but I might be missing it. And if they do try to slide way there prob just gonna run into a wall or one of the steel cylinders due to being in an enclosed space. Also Punished V2 doesn't really have any close combat feats and just has shooting feats and Xeno's can sneak up on and overpower trained marines and pilots so it shouldn't have that hard of a time just grabbing V2.
V2's profile did say "and is even somewhat more versatile than him" which essentially means she is also comparable to Jack in travel speed. If the rules only equalize combat speed then V2 should also be as fast as or faster than Xeno because uh, rockets and bullets are fast, and Jack is, kind of relative to them
V2 doesn't seem to slide even when Jack gets close to her yes, game mechanic-wise she just do that randomly, but I doubt she would choose not to slide and dodge something that looks 1000 times better at close combat and is charging at her at like 50 meters per sec. Also if you watch the fight again, when she slides until she hits the wall, she quickly moves in the other direction, it's kind of her thing. The place is enclosed but doesn't have many obstacles, so sneaking probably wouldn't work very well i feel
Jack scales to rockets and bullets in combat speed not travel speed which are different things that need to be noted on a speed rating. Just cause he react to rockets and bullets doesn't mean he has the same travel speed, he would need to run at the exact same speed as the projectiles to scale to them in travel speed.
Here are the speed equalization rules.
Punished V2 doesn't do anything outside of their boss in this game so we only have the boss to go off for how they fight. Since they don't move away when Jack gets close, they won't move when the Xeno gets close.
From what I can tell V2 just kinda bounces off which, considering the low celling, would just bring her right into the Xeno's arms.
Jack's profile did list his travel speed just like Xeno's and the scans clearly showed that he perceive, react and moves relative to rockets and bullets, which is why I said "kind of"
Eh just because she doesn't try to move in the gameplay doesn't mean she won't actually try to move when Xeno get close to her. Again, she's someone who tries to keep her distance and use her flexibility to slide and/or dodge, not throwing hands
If you watch it again, that's just her jumping, she never bounces when hitting walls. Also, she can stop sliding midway to adjust her direction, so uh, there's that i guess
Fighting relative to rockets and bullets is still combat speed afaik. For it to be travel speed he would need to be able to actively run faster than the rockets and bullets.
She doesn't seem to instantly move away if the Player get close and actively slides in their direction so she isn't afraid to be in close range with a foe.
Alrighty vote counted
I actually did think about Robocop and might make him fight Punished V2 after this
