On the subject of "legal" cards...

...was Pendekar 2115 an intentional rule-breaking card? Or was there a typo notice that I missed.

On his level 1 offense, Pendekar has two -3 moves...running head butt and crossface submission.

Was that intentional? Part of me thinks it wasn't, because his potent opening offense isn't mentioned, whereas his "doesn't submit" is...

And while there's not ACTUALLY a written rule against two level 3 offense moves on level 1, Pendakar 2115 is the only regular, active GWF/CPC wrestler with that offense.

And the way some folks like to complain about Mark's work, I'm surprised this wasn't held up more often. Now, I play him as the card is written, because Pendekar has never been a dominant force, but my curiosity was too much for me, and now I gotta know.

It was intentional for Pendekar to have those 2 Level 3 moves on Level 1 Offense. He was written as a guy who might not have all the size, power, or speed of many wrestlers, but he could hit you early and quick before you knew what happened to you, like a Pride or UFC fighter. Hence the double shot on Level 1. He had other factors on his card that minimized the effectiveness of that, though, so that he wouldn't become dominant because of it.

By 2119, after four years in the exclusive wrestling, he's gotten more in the mold of a wrestler and has more of a wrestler-type card. Still, I wanted to give him that Level 3 Defense turnaround so that he retained some of that MMA-type flair.

Ah, okay...just kinda wonderered about that. Makes sense, though...=)

I like the idea of the sudden striker. It gives him great upset potential. I wouldn't want to see more guys with this type of offense, but it is great for a UFC-type guy (as he mentioned).
