Barkley Shut Up and Jam Gaiden: Chapter One of the Hoopz Barkley Saga

[OblivionKnight]

Must rank.  Or Not Ranked.  One or the other, preferably both.

Anyway, welcome to Barkley, the most awesome independent RPG ever made.  It's awesome, and you should bow down and worship it.

Mechanics
Pretty cool stuff here.  Barkley uses pretty self-explanatory stats, explained below...

Vital Statistics and What They Mean
VP: Hey, life points; lose these and you go to Hell, where "Proud to be an American" plays all day and everyone speaks l33t...seriously
BP: B-ball points, bitch!  Can't slam and ham without these
Speed: Action order, evasion, and accuracy!  This is an important stat - speed is linear, and EXAs are possible (so Hoopz EXAs Cyberdwarf around his second action), so more of this is always good.  In addition, this stat also governs accuracy and evasion - the exact mechanics I do not know for certain, but suffice to say that this and attack base accuracy (since special attacks don't seem to miss) help you hit things.  In general, though, base accuracy is more important, as even Hoopz with his excellent speed will miss with attacks that have lower accuracy at a decent rate (just...less than if he were Charles or someone with less speed).  Cyberdwarf's Combo attacks, however, despite his speed, cannot miss.  Effective evade rates will be listed with the characters, though I believe the general evade and accuracy formula are simply subtractive
Guard: Physical defense.  The higher this is, the less damage you receive from physical attacks.  It's a divisional system, so Cyberdwarf is a pretty evil physical tank due to this.
Brain: Affects damage of specials (magic) and defense against the aforementioned.  Similarly divisional, making Balthios a pretty sexy magical tank.
Power: Physical offense.  Higher Power allows for more damaging basic attacks.  

The game uses a combat system similar to Super Mario RPG and other timed hit games.  Basic attacks such as Free Throw have timing that increases damage based on where you press buttons/hit keys etc.  Most of these are easy to accomplish, so for simplicity sake, I have assumed they are all perfected.  All noted stat boosts below affect the base character stat before equipment is factored in.  The game has no differentiation between elements.  The game also lacks status defense.  Speaking of status...

Status Effects and You Health
Asperger's: Afflicted character acts fucking weird
Diabetes: Afflicted character takes 5% MVP damage each action
Fouled: Afflicted character skips their next action
Glaucoma: Afflicted character suffers a 50% loss in base attack accuracy
Handicapable: Afflicted character suffers a 50% loss in their Brain stat
Montezuma's Revenge: Afflicted character suffers a 50% loss in their Guard stat
Parkinon's: Afflicted character suffers a 50% loss in their Power stat
Stroke: Afflicted character cannot act for 3 actions
Time Out: Afflicted character suffers a 50% loss in their Speed stat

I took one bit of a liberty with the stats.  There is a sidequest where you have a choice between choosing two different sides, and these sides offer different rewards.  One side gives the best armour for Hoopz and Charles in the game, the Shrekmono - however, there's only one, and it's not unique.  The other quest gives Balthios' best armour and the option of getting a wish from Kazaam that raises all stats of all characters by 5 permanently.  I assumed one takes the stat boost, as it is overall the best option of the group, and is much better balanced and worth it than the Shrekmono.  Similarly, there is a sidequest in the B-ball Dimension where Barkley fights Kevin Garnett solo in the arena.  The prize is a Mithril Jersey, but it is once again shared between Hoopz and Charles.  The armour is Guard +26, and though I didn't assume it, I could see allowing it to Charles for plot reasons.  Otherwise all equipment is either unique, storebought, or initial (in the case of accessories).

Huh, less that I thought. Ok, guess it's time for some awesomeness!

Combo: Cyberdwarf has a certain amount of time to perform attacks.  Similar to Legaia, there's a bar that indicates how much space he has to perform certain moves, with different moves requiring different amounts of space/time.  Using an attack will increase its damage by 25% as long as it is not followed or preceeded by the same attack (so Jab-Kick-Punch would cause all 3 attacks to do 25% more damage than indicated).  Indicated below are the damages for each attack at base.  A Jab is the base attack, with Kick taking 25% more time to accomplish, and Punch taking 50% more time to accomplish (making a max of 8 Jabs, 6 Kicks, 4 Punches, or any combination of the aforementioned).  Finishers immediately end a Combo, and Cyberdwarf must have enough time/space to use them.  Push takes as much time to complete as Punch, while Toss takes 25% more time to accomplish than Push, while Suplex takes 50% more time than Push.

Enemies are somewhat randomized with regards to stats by ~10%, bosses included.  I went through and checked each boss through 3 times and averaged the results.  This could very well still be off by 10% in either direction, though, but should be a close approximation.  Most of the party average stuff should be self-explanatory.  The only exception would be the damage averages.  The basic attack average is the average damage of every character's best non-BP damage.  The special attack average is the average damage if every character used their strongest attack in a round.  Most of the big bad skills (Holy Dunk, Trick Gun Assault) have high costs and are only usable once per fight, but do excellent damage and can one-round a boss.  I'd take something in between the two personally, but these two averages should give a good idea of the general damage output of the cast around the time each boss is fought.

[RadLink5]

Should note that Shadow Barkley chainforms into T-Rex Barkley. And I think it'd be better to classify Doomfire Death as ID since that is essentially what it is. Verboten Jam is either two and a half Havok Wings or more ID (I'll go with the 2.5 Havok Wings interpretation). He's Godlike if you allow Verboten Jam to just be overpowered, some sort of Heavy if you see it as ID.

And given how easy it is to restore your BP, I'd go by the Special Attacks average. Shadow Barkley falls faster than Kefka in game, no reason to give him insane durability too.

I just realized, I compared him to Kefka twice. It's gotta be the wing on his back. Although he IS another ball lightning anyway.
