Event: Kirby walks by and says to you: "Before you head north, you guys should understand the battle engine of this game. I'll show you. As your walking along, you'll encounter monsters like this. *steps to the side and a Goomba is behind him* Now, an enemy could just go about its business, or it can attack first thing. Let's say this Goomba attacks Waddle Dee and me. *Waddle Dee walks up to Kirby and the battle commences*. Now first, the order of fighting is determined by speed. If my speed is the highest out of all of us (that means the enemy too) I go first. Let's say I have the highest speed. I then attack. I say, 'I'll attack the goomba with my normal attack'. If there's no problem, there should be a post like this: 'Kirby attacks goomba for X damage. 'X' is my ATK minus the Goomba's DEF. Let's say my ATK is 3, and the Goomba's DEF is 2. I would do a total of 1 damage, as long as I don't have any items boosting my strength. Now let's say Waddle Dee goes next and he uses a spell. He says 'I'll attack Goomba with my * spell'. '*' being the spell you want to use. If there's no problems, there should be a message like this soon: 'Waddle Dee uses * on goomba and causes Y damage'. 'Y' being Waddle Dee's spell damage minus the Goomba's SPDEF. The reason I say spell damage and not SPATK is because SPATK is only a FACTOR in spell damage (SD). For example: Mario's fireball's SD is equal to his SPATK plus 2. Get it?
Now let's say the Goomba attacks me. My AGI is 4. That means I have a 1 in 125 chance of evading damage. Almost all of the time, attacks will hit. If the Goomba uses a move that would normally decrease my accuracy it would actually just increase his AGI for just me. Now the Goomba hits me. The damage is done and... UH OH! My HP runs out! So I fall. Unless there is an item that revitalizes me, I will be down for a week. Then I'll be revived to full health. However, I lose half my EXP. That can be a real bummer if I have a lot. Anyway, the battle goes on, and Waddle Dee destroys the Goomba. He gets 3 EXP, and 2 coins. I don't because I'm fallen. Let's say Waddle Dee gets a level up. All of his stats increase a little bit. Then he gets a boost on a selected-by-him stat (Yoshi cannot pick SPATK or SPDEF). After that, the game continues as Normal. For free practice, I'll face you guys if you want... I'll just be over there."
Kirby's Dojo is now open! Just North of Mushroom Kingdom!
