@ pigeon power. Luck isn't the central element of the game. In my experience, Kongai is a game about weighing risk and reward. The game is unpredictable because players are unpredictable, and the hit/miss chances exacerbate that central element of the game, unpredictability and chaos. Sometimes you can secure a win by using attacks with higher chances of the desired effect, but you can also escape a loss by hoping for the unlikely to happen and swings things in your favor. It's fine. You can never win every game when you're playing against equal opponents. Playing skill is enough of a factor (as well as card collecting/deck building). The game isn't broken because the rules are the same for all players. If you don't like the game on the other hand, then play a different one. It's not anyone else's fault that the element of luck ruins the game for you.
Hold on pigeon, you want to defy the rules of probability by making it so that the coin does remember what it landed on last? :p If the probabilities weren't random, which is what you're suggesting, then the RANDOM Number Generator really would be broken like so many people say it is. I like the game just fine without having to always take in to account constantly changing hit/miss chances. Right now, playing well improves your chances of winning dramatically. I don't think there needs to be a change.
Just noticed discussion of new sets and thought I'd remind everyone that there ARE four new sets in the making. Witches,Robots,Knights and Pirates. Look on the forums if you want confirmation / more information.
On the topic of Popo, he's probably the same gender as the Popo from the pair of characters Popo and Nana. Popo was the boy and Nana was the girl, and it was impossible to tell which one was which except for the colour of their little eskimo clothes (purple for Popo, pink for Nana) and maybe their hairstyles. We already know that the characters in Kongai parody other characters, often in an obvious way (eg: Anex or Xena warrior princesses, Ubuntu which is a Linux thing, Vanessa Voss the vampire killing BLADE wielder). I have no doubt that while Xena = Anex and Vanessa Voss = Blade, Ubuntu = some guy that worked on Ubuntu that has the same face and beard (something like that, not sure).. Popo = Popo. Nintendo fans know Popo is a boy. Kongai's Popo is probably the same. He's purposely made gender anonymous though, with some feminine features even. Nintendo's version was gender anonymous looking by mistake, but still known as a boy. Popo = boy.
I just suddenly felt an overwhelming desire to remind people that some cards are just better than others. Weird unexplainable feeling, everyone knows that fact anyway.
I think what Kasudain was saying a page back was that he got killed at the same moment he healed, and the death mask effect was used up on that turn. Basically - herbal preparations should have saved him, and Death Mask shouldn't have activated yet. Not that I agree, just saying he seems to know what Death Mask does (sgtdroopy, chinese guy).
There was an official post in the forums about card chances. It was RAISED from the original chance (3%), so it can't be 2%. The post also stated that the chance to win a card is further increased if you have few cards.
Mistermonkey's right, squidly's wrong.
