Lower Damage Ratio for 1v1?

[Jason]

I realize that 1v1 is not the most popular format to play the game in but hear me out.

Obviously with a team-based game, extremely high damage, on the order of 50-70% of a single character's health in one combo, is expected otherwise matches would take too long.

However, this level of damage output is a little overboard for a 1v1, especially since 1 decent reset can easily end the round.

Do you think changing the damage ratio in 1v1 to 0.9 or 0.8 would make 1v1 more fun/interesting/balanced?

Damage is that high in 1v1 because you have 2 Rounds, so it's essentially 28600 life / 4 Mistakes you're allowed to make.

True but typically 1on1 games like Blazblue, P4A, SSF4, GGXXAC, etc. have 2 rounds but rounds don't end in 2 combos (although there is the occasional exception).

I believe Skullgirls is meant to be a faster paced game than those 1v1 games though. 1v1 games in Skullgirls already take longer than other ratio games, so slowing it down even more would make the difference even greater.

Are you sure we're playing the same games?
