I always thought Godzilla 90's should replace it with his Nuclear Pulse. His Nuclear Pulse was more of a disruptive attack than the explosive finishing move of his 2000 counterpart. The only difference would be that rather than having it as a short-ranged projectile, it would be a short-ranged AOE weapon.Mr. Strange wrote:I wonder - should I really consider eliminating Godzilla's Fireball tap weapon? It's not drawn from any specific film, but I thought it fit reasonably well. What's the general consensus?
If you really want to hold onto the Fireball for Godzilla in general, you could always color his Fireball to match his Atomic Ray, as Legionmaster said. That's the thing that's always struck me as odd about the attack. Instead of a Fireball, make it an 'Atomic Ball.' I'd prefer just using his Nuclear Pulse instead, but a blue, oral energy attack fits with Godzilla (unless it's Godzilla 2000, of course).
I brought this up earlier. I pointed out Ghidorah's advantage over Godzilla, since Ghidorah deals electric damage and Godzilla is weak to electricity (for some reason...). Simon explained that the varying damage types are there for balancing issues. Apparently Godzilla was destroying Ghidorah, but when they gave Ghidorah that advantage over Godzilla, the two became more balanced. MOGUERA, who is weak against every monster except Godzilla, was pretty much unstoppable until they applied his weaknesses.PopInPicsPresents wrote:Mr. Strange wrote:Ever wonder why Mechagodzilla II was so weak to Alien Energy? Because that was Gigan's beam type, and Gigan's "all-edged" melee attacks had a hard time with Mechagodzilla. Why did Godzilla have a fireball? Because it gave him an alternative method of damage when fighting enemies who resisted Nuclear damage.
Here you talk about different kinds of energy. Why can't energy weapons just be energy weapons? Is there a point to having s bunch of sub-categories?
I don't really care for that approach to balance the monsters, but it's a good explanation. I still don't see how Godzilla is weak against electricity... Why not include King Kong and make him weak against electricity too?
