Skill suggestion

You know skills like Press up or Press down right?

How about making a skill like 'Block Command' for Zeru/Lenna? It's a timed-skill of course (like 3 turns)
You press certain arrow keys when the enemy attacks to block their attack 1/4 damage. If you miss a key, then you recieve full damage. :o It's like a penalty, the full damage is penalty, the 3/4 damage is if you hit the Block Command buttons correctly, but you still take some damage so it's more fair.

Its possible but got to set all the enemy skills to do that and first hit and 2nd hits are delayed.

o_o'' Whoa.. that must be hard.. make the attack set button press random? Also, what do you mean by the first and 2nd hit?
Well, some skills like if the enemy uses 'hold up' then those cnanot be blocked. You don't have to delay the skills. It can be used automatically, and the people who use the block command should be able to read it, even if the enemy who is attacking is automatic. If they can't press the button, then they take full damage. It's not too bad since it's only reducing 1/4 damage.

That's also true in a way, but all skills must be set first, besides that the dmg is calculated first before input commands, that's the problem

how about placing the skill brandish?

Ahh... so that's the problem... Can you make the damage be calculated 2nd, block command calculated first?

Like
1.The input commands are calculated first -3/4 damage
-Ignored when the skill isn't in effect

2. Damage Calculation normal -4/4 damage
-Used when block command failed, isn't in effect.

whoa nice idea... i havent even considered that

The problem is to show no dmg on the first hit then the calculated dmg in the 2nd.
Besides that I would have to set that on every monster attack, and it might also be a cheap way to reduce the current dmg formula and it will also need to be changed.

Wait, how is it a cheap way to reduce the current damage formula? You would just keep the original damage and if the button is pressed correctly without stopping time (if they can press it at that moment), it only takes away 1/4 of the original damage, but if the button isn't pressed correctly, skill isn't used, or you don't have the skill yet (probably an endgame skill), the attack is dealt with full damage.
How about it only works on skills or something like it?? Well, it only works on some attacks.... and when you put it that way...
How about it works on monsters higher than lvl 50?

Why can't the damage be shown as no damage and calculated damage on the first hit and 2nd hit?

What about making the formula damage 3/4 of what it is now, and if you don't press up/down/etc. , increase it to 4/4 for full damage. If that's not possible, that what about hitting 3/4 but if you don't press anything, hit the rest 1/4 of the damage.

The latter is a great idea! :O
Wait... wouldn't the 2nd hit take up 1 turn though? I used Zeika's transformation on Xannel when Xannel used his Blood Bending a bunch of times and after the 2nd attack, it detransformed me.

That can work except for attack command, plus all enemy skills must be edited.
Adding the fact that battle will last longer and all the attacks are 2-hit
