Punch Reversal Catch Slam

Aikido actually isn't that poor for damage, the only other moves with notably bad damage is Ki Burst. The point of having a move with low damage and a guaranteed weakening effect is diversity. Otherwise Punch Catch will just be another version of SB. It gives people different choices and options, more damage but less of an effect, or less damage but a guaranteed weakening of your enemy.

As much as there is a chance you lose the roll, the same bad luck could run in your favour and cause your opponent to lose their roll for PRCS. People love to blame the combat system and say it's super random, but if it that random the same randomness works in your favour.

30% and 100% is too big of a difference for the damage between both abilities. SB does enough damage as is, so the only logical move is to lower the chance to powerless on PRCS. It doesn't have to be super-nerfed to 30% to be an exact match of SB, but what about like 50%? I just think 100% is too high.

I think it's fine the way it is, personally, but it would be nice if 9mmfu could chime in on this thread..
