Arena

Arena: Referee's Favor
Field Type: ASB Arena
Complexity: Simple IMO
Format: Probably better for Singles, but can be used for anything really.
Restrictions: None. At least at the start.

You are walking through the corridors towards the ASB Arena, where a battle you are taking part in was scheduled. When you are getting near the end, a suspicious looking character gets in your way.

- Greetings, trainer.
- Who are you, if I may know?
- Oh, me? I’m the ref that got hired for your battle.

You take a look at him, and confirm that he is indeed wearing the uniform characteristic of refs. You can also see his ID.

- Oh, is there a problem? – You ask, now curious.
- No, no problem. Just wondering if you would want to discuss some… things.
- Things? Like what?
- You know, there are a lot of things I have control over during the battles. I could, you know, make some “tweaks” here and there, make sure some things happen and some don’t.
- Wait, are you offering to rig the battle in my favor?
- Oh, no, I would never do that. Just saying that I could make things happen, not that I would do it if someone asked me. Do you get it?

You nod slowly. He then walks in the direction you came from, while you decide to continue forward. You can’t stop thinking about what he said, as you realize he could have made the same offer to your opponent, too.


Arena Mechanics:

- ASB Arena. At least at the start.

- Ref’s Favor: The core part of the arena. Each player gets X amount of “favors”, which they can use to “make sure things happen, or don’t.” This is activated by using an extra, free sub specially for this. Example:

Horn Drill + Horn Drill Combo - Cooldown (Earthquake) – Earhquake
-[Ref’s Favor] Make Horn Drill + Horn Drill combo hit.

Conflicting favors nullify each others, but they still use up a favor. If the opponent asked the referee for the combo to miss, then the accuracy of the combo would be checked normally.

You can also use it in an attack or chance sub, but then you don't get the free sub. For example:

Pain Split - Chill - Crunch
- [Ref's Favor] IF Focus Blast AND in a combo, THEN make the combo miss.

Would use one of your regular subs.

Only one Favor may be used per round.

Things You Can Ask For:
- A move/combo to hit/miss. --% accuracy moves/combos can not miss, even with a favor.
- A secondary effect to happen/not happen.
- Increase/decrease a field effect's duration (maximum one round for those that last certain amount of rounds, maximum two actions for those that last a certain amount of actions).
- Make sure a crit happens/doesn't happen.
- Get rid of a minor status.
- Cause a consecutive move use penalty, even if the move was not used last action. This stacks with natural consecutive use penalty (Earthquake *3 can go from 7+11+15 to 11+15+19).
- Make a consecutive move use penalty dissapear (Earthquake *3 can go from 7+11+15 to 7+11+7).
- Interrupt charge attacks with single hit moves.
- Make an attack work as if a certain condition had been fullfiled. Example: Solar Beam haviing 6 BAP for a use, making a charge attack have no charge time, Synthesis healing as if the weather was sunny, etc.
- Ask for a certain move to be rolled via Sleep talk / Assits / Metronome / Similar moves.
- Allow an infeasible combo.
- More to be added.

Things You May NOT ask for:
- Use of a move your mon doesn't know.
- Make your oponent's mon forget a move.
- Get rid of mayor status ailments.
- Create a field effect.
- Gain an Ability.
- Change type effectiveness.
- Inflict a status, minor or mayor.
- Deal direct damage to the opponent's HP / EN.
- OHKOes, invulnerabilitie, and other dumb things.
- More to be added.

In Case What You Want To Ask For Is Not Listed:
The ref shall decide if you can do it or not, so you are encouraged to ask him/her. Things will be added to the lists as people mention/suggest/try to do things.

[Mowtom]

"Please note that this battle is in the Referee's Favor arena, not the standard ASB arena. I am assuming one favor per round. That said, let's give an Amulet Coin and an Exp. Share to Bump II and Kent, respectively."

"Ooh, shiny."
Sludge Wave~Venoshock (Ralts)~Gunk Shot (Ralts)
IF Ralts is under the effect of a successful P/E move THEN Substitute (15) and push back.
IF your target is KO'd THEN redirect.
[FAVOR] Make Sludge Wave successfully poison Ralts.

"Bad guys? They're going down."
Substitute (25)~Megahorn (Ralts)~Feint Attack (Ralts)
IF Ralts is under the effect of a successful P/E move THEN Megahorn (Whismur) and push back.
IF your target is KO'd THEN redirect.

 

[cbrevan]

Ralts Traces Karrablast's Shed Skin.

Ralts: Encore (Karrablast)~Psychic (Gulpin)~ Psychic+Psychic (Gulpin)
[Favor] Make Sludge Wave miss its targets.

Whismur: Extrasensory (Gulpin)~Extrasensory (Gulpin)~Extrasensory (Gulpin)

 

[Mowtom]

"Just to be clear, since our favors cannot both happen, they cancel each other out. Sludge Wave's 100% Accuracy hits, and then the poison roll happens as normal."

Kent makes a Substitute, but is forced by Jaina to waste the rest of his round doing it! Bump tried to avenge this by shooting three balls of poison at Jaina, which showed, as afterwards, she is looking quite a bit faint. Good Vibrations and Jaina spent their rounds just wearing away at Gulpin, and it worked and KO'd it.

[cbrevan]

copycatcat , why didn't Jaina use the Psychic+Psychic combo A3?

 

[copycatcat]

fixed that.

 

[cbrevan]

copycatcat , Sludge Wave hits all adjacent targets (just like Earthquake), so it would have hit Karrablast, Ralts, and Whismur. Since it is also a spread move, the final damage for each target would be multiplied by 0.75. Also, the way the ASB rank system works is that each rank is multiplied by 1.5. For example, the damage calc for Gulpin's Gunk Shot is (12+3+(3*1.5)-(1*1.5))=18. Also, STAB attacks cost one less energy. Also, combos are calculated differently then regular attacks. For example, Dual Psychic is calculated as (((6+2)*2.25)+3+(3*1.5)-(2*1.5))*1.5=33.75. Likewise, it's energy cost is also different. All of this information can be found in the ASB Player's Handbook. copycatcat, an accurate reffing is an essential part of a battle, and I would be appreciative if you read through the entirety of the handbook, make any and all corrections needed, and then double check your work. Thank you for your time and effort.

fixed that too.

Not that it mattered much, but the Dual Psychic has -2 priority and should go last.

I'd fix it if it mattered at all, you guys can finally go.

 

[cbrevan]

Ralts:Cooldown (Taunt)~Taunt~Will-o-Wisp
If Karrablast uses a P/E move, then Chill that action and push back.
If Karrablast has a Substitute up and is not under the effects of Encore, then use Encore that action and push back.

Whismur: Flamethrower~Flamethrower~Flamethrower
If Karrablast uses a P/E move, then Chill that action.

Good job making all the corrections.

"Methinks I see a plot, a gleam, a glimmer of a plan."
