ok you know what fuck it 2 am kirby research dump time: kirby fighters 2 story mode/buddy tower stones since thats what ive been researching recently while mapping out the game's exefs (main executable) in ghidra
first off, every level for each stone is its own item. while this seems like a weird decision at first, it does make checking for the cursed stones for the debuffs a lot easer since the game only needs to check if you have any amount of the level 5 stone
each stone has a specific function for calculating that specific buff. first, the game gets the amount of each level stone you have, then multiplies each count by the corresponding stone's bonus, and finally adds the products of all of them together.
(L1_count * L1_bonus) + (L2_count * L2_bonus) + (L3_count * L3_bonus) + (L4_count * L4_bonus) + (L5_count * L5_bonus)
because you will never have more than one of each level, this works very nicely!! if you don't have a specific level, that will result in 0 due to multiplying by 0, and if you do have one, itll produce the bonus due to multiplying by 1.
this also has the side effect of being able to stack multiple of one level stone, though this wont happen in normal gameplay, but it would be fun to mess around with!
there are two stones that are actually completely unused!! they're unobtainable in normal gameplay since the item table has them disabled for every single chapter, but they are fully implemented in both the native code and hal's scripting bytecode, mint!!
BlowAway
the "BlowAway" stone causes opponents launched by your throws to be in hitstun for a longer period of time, and as such more susceptible to buddy tosses. the base amount of frames is 40, so the hitstun for each level is:
45 frames (+5)
53 frames (+8)
64 frames (+11)
78 frames (+14)
96 frames (+18)
98 frames is a lot of time for a video game, especially a fighting game!! specifically, its 1.6 seconds of hitstun!!! this stone was probably way too strong and was cut because of that.
interestingly, the maximum this stat can go is 200 frames, which is 3 and 1/3 seconds. that is WAY too much hitstun for any game, even if its just what you deal to opponents in a situation that isnt super common unless you're one of the two grapplers in the game.
ShieldTime
this stone is interesting due to the fact that everything related to guarding isn't handled in mint, but rather the native game code itself in exefs!! what the "ShieldTime" stone does is reduce how much your guard meter depletes while holding the button.
the base is a multiplier of 1.0, and has a minimum of 0.25. this stone's formula subtracts the bonus from the maximum value instead of adding to the minimum. so, for each level, this multiplier is:
0.7x
0.25x (result is 0.2, which goes under the minimum)
0.25x (result is -0.45, which would cause the guard gauge to increase rather than decrease)
0.25x (result is -1.25)
0.25x (result is -2.25)
looking at how this starts to scale negatively, this stone was probably scrapped pretty early before the values could be actually fine-tuned.
interestingly, the level 5 stone items are referred to as "PieceDevil__Ex", while the level 4 stones are called "PieceDevil__". these probably were going to have a negative health drawback like the level 5 stones.
in fact, the yaml file that dictates which items can appear inbetween floors actually tells us this!!
there's a "name" property that is named uniquely for only the two unused stones i just talked about, and at the end of that for both of those there is a short description of the stone's effects not present in the other stones's name properties. this actually includes the health debuff!!
it seems like the level 4 stones used to take away a quarter (25%) of your health, and the level 5 stones were actually buffed in the final game!! originally, it looks like they were going to take away 40% of your health instead of half of it (50%)!!
thats about it for now, this has been very fun to document and i will probably make more big posts like this when i can!!!

Review 78-13: Outlaw (Atari 2600)
We're nearly at the end of this tepid year with a surprising best seller on the list. This seems to be an arcade conversion from the 1976 game with the same name- which was admittedly cool for the time for introducing the microprocessor to the mainstream.
Is this the game that's gonna break the bad stre- no.
Graphics (2.5/5)
It's a start. There's more character in this game's left toe than most other games from the year. For one, it has actual graphics. Stickmen, perhaps, but they are bigger and more detailed than what came before, aside from Star Ship at least. There's cowboy hats, stage coaches, cacti... aaaand that's basically it.
For their efforts, they get a pass. Gotta accept that they gotta walk before they can run, y'know.
Sound (3/5)
I find the shooting and step noises positively gnarly. Punchy, I like punchy. Everything else (which is very little) I couldn't care less about. It's better in multiplayer as there's no noise from a target hitting walls. Whatever, it's okay overall.
Gameplay (2.5/5)
Yep that sure is another 1v1 shooter. It's fiiiiine. Though you really need the multiplayer if you're gonna enjoy it. Singleplayer is JUST target practice, where the high score is having the timer be as low as possible at the end. Hey, it beats Combat not having any singleplayer at all.
The idea of deconstructing the level as you shoot is pretty cool. Wish they did more with it. If you need some variety on the 1977 shooters, this is an alright thing to go for.
Longevity (2.5/5)
The Logbook requires a very low score from ya that requires a notch of practice.
Say it with me now, 'multiplayer is okay for tournaments with friends'. Game's got 16 modes, of which there's 3 main variations in normal, blowaway and 6 shots. Respectable for the time I suppose.
Overall
Poorly aged is how i'd describe this game. AT THE VERY LEAST we got a more unique game based around something that has an inherint appeal, the Wild West. No reason to come back to it now though. Combat and Air-Sea Battle were the better overall packages with more love put into making sure they would be as expansive as the poor 2kb carts could handle.
Also, is it just me or do people REALLY love this one in particular? Must be from the lack of choices.

Battle Autumn preview
Will Ospreay vs. Tetsuya Naito - Ospreay's IWGP United States title is at stake. This is a rematch from their G1 Climax semifinal match on August 17. Ospreay won that encounter, but Naito asked for a championship bout anyway. Zack Sabre Jr. (who had a more credible argument for a title shot) objected, but Naito defeated him on October 2 to formally become the #1 contender.
It stands to reason the winner of this match will not defend the US title again until Wrestle Kingdom in the Tokyo Dome on January 4. The loser will probably get a partner to enter World Tag League (November 21-December 14) for a shot at the IWGP heavyweight tag champions at Wrestle Kingdom. Based on that, it feels like Ospreay makes more sense in the US title picture, and Naito fits in better in the tag scene (teaming with SANADA or Shingo Takagi). But New Japan booking always manages to surprise me when I think I've got all the angles covered.
This match should be good but I'm not expecting anything blowaway. This show feels sort of like a WWF In Your House where they're putting it out there but they're saving their best stuff for later. I don't think we're getting a title change or a big angle or anything like that. It'd be cool if we got some movement on whatever is planned for Ospreay and Kenny Omega, but I'm not counting on it.
Dax Harwood & Cash Wheeler vs. Jeff Cobb & Great-O-Khan - FTR (Dax and Cash) won the IWGP heavyweight tag title from Cobb and Khan on June 26 in Chicago, so this is the rematch. Since their last encounter was a three-way, Cobb and Khan are making the old "we weren't pinned so we never really lost" argument. FTR also hold the ROH and AAA tag titles, but those are not at stake here. I'm guessing they won't bring the AAA belts to this show, seeing as New Japan and AAA don't have a working relationship.
The winners of this match will presumably be the champions heading into World Tag League, which will decide the next challengers. Cobb and Khan will almost certainly enter the tournament, but there's been no indication whether FTR will be there. I wouldn't blame FTR if they skipped the tournament, considering they're triple champions and awfully busy and seem to be working through a lot of injuries. But I also wouldn't be surprised if they declare for the tournament on this show. I think we'll know one way or the other by the time this match is over.
I think it's kind of cool how FTR has three sets of belts, and it'd be extra cool if they added the AEW tag title to their collection before they break up the set. But I get the feeling that this thing has run its course and New Japan wants their belts back. Unless FTR is sticking around for World Tag League and/or Wrestle Kingdom, they probably just need to lose here.
Jay White & KENTA vs. Kazuchika Okada & Tama Tonga - White defended the IWGP world title against Tonga last month, and Okada is his next challenger on January 4. I'm not sure what Kenta's role is in this, but they mean to set up a Tonga vs. Kenta feud. Or maybe Kenta's just here to get pinned by Okada.
Parejas increibles match - This is a straight two-on-two tag team match where we know the participants, but the teams won't be revealed until the match starts. The four participants are Taiji Ishimori, Hiromu Takahashi, El Desperado, and Master Wato, who are all scheduled to meet in a four-way match on January 4 for Ishimori's IWGP junior heavyweight title. So it could be Ishimori & Wato vs. Hiromu & Despy, or Ishimori & Despy vs. Hiromu & Wato, etc., etc. It's a cute idea but it feels like filler. Wake me when they fight for the title in a couple of months.
Zack Sabre Jr. vs. EVIL - This is a semifinal match in a tournament to crown the first NJPW World television champion. The winner advances to the final at Wrestle Kingdom on January 4. Personally I think New Japan already has more belts than they know what to do with, but at least the TV title looks neat. Evil is on the warpath here because he's still pissed that Sabre beat him in 55 seconds in the G1 Climax. I'd much rather see Sabre win, but New Japan loves trolling everybody with Evil victories, so I think it could go either way.
SANADA vs. Ren Narita - This is the other semifinal in the television title tournament. Narita just returned to Japan from excursion, and had a huge win over Tomohiro Ishii to get here. So he could lose this match and still get what he needed out of this tournament. That being said, I'd have no problem with pushing him even harder with a trip to the finals. But it's pretty unusual for New Japan to push somebody that hard that fast. Sanada should be the clear favorite, it's just a question of whether he meets his old rival Sabre or his former friend Evil in the finals.
Hikuleo vs. Yujiro Takahashi - Hikuleo turned on Bullet Club last month to make the save for his brother Tama Tonga and Hiroshi Tanahashi, which set him up to challenge Karl Anderson on this show for the NEVER openweight title. Then Anderson jumped to WWE and got booked for the Crown Jewel show in Saudi Arabia. so now we're getting Yujiro instead. I assume Hikuleo will make short work of him.
Normally in a situation like this New Japan would cancel the Anderson match ASAP, but in this case they took their sweet time and Anderson cut a promo about it on Twitter. As of this writing, Anderson is still recognized as NEVER champion and he still says he'll defend the belt later, so maybe WWE and New Japan have a deal in place? Maybe we'll get a video from him after this match to reschedule the title defense in January? Maybe?
Hiroshi Tanahashi & David Finlay & Toru Yano & Alex Zayne vs. Mark Davis & Kyle Fletcher & Aaron Henare & Gideon Grey - Tana's team is facing what looks to be the United Empire's B-team. I assume Aussie Open (Davis and Fletcher) are in Japan for World Tag League, and I suppose Henare and Grey makes sense as another duo. If Tana needs a partner I'd prefer to see him with Finlay rather than Yano. Zayne is probably going to be in the Super Jr. Tag League. As for this match, I think Tanahashi's side has to win.
Francesco Akira & TJP vs. BUSHI & Titan - Its a little unusual for New Japan to put a title bout in the opener, but Akira and TJP are defending the IWGP junior heavyweight tag championship. The big story here is that CMLL's Titan recently joined Los Ingobernables de Japon, which is convenient since Bushi's usual partner (Hiromu Takahashi) is busy with the junior singles division. The winners of this match should be the champions heading into the Super Jr. Tag League tournament, which should determine the next challengers. My money is on Akira and TJP to retain, but it wouldn't be too much trouble to do a title change here.
