I gotta say, as much as I'd like to do it with the Equalizer, and the upsets it would cause, I don't think it would lead to a very good time.

Shovel for victory.

Equalizer for play. Shovel for a remotely fun event.

equalizer is my choice. It will lead to massive shenanigans, where anyone can win. Anyone.

+damage and random crits? Sign me up.

Let's see, here. I've been silently advocating that both combatants use a fresh body for each match, to prevent crit ramps and such. The Equalizer, however, is not affected only by this.

With the Equalizer, this might take some test runs. I'm not willing to say this is a fact, but the first person who hits will probably lose, as the person who took damage will consequently get more crits, damage, and speed. But then, will the blows just trade until somebody crits? If so, then isn't that just like regular MeleeMania? Thus, the test runs.

well actually an even match could play out like this
A and B are at full health
A hits B for ~32 damage
B hits A for ~54 damage
A hits B for ~68 damage
B hits A for ~100 damage
then after this point its whoever hits who wins
A will hit for ~137 damage
B will hit for ~ 100 damage

Assuming no one crits
one question I have is are the crits variable as well?

By the way, I forgot to put an end date for the poll.

I'll set the deadline for Wednesday.

Equalizer. The thought of actually having a chance at coming back with low health sounds like fun.
