The second this nigga started mentioning life bars in boxing and mma you should have known this would be a moronic thread. Like, goddamn.
The answer to this is “yes”.
You can hack various games to turn life bars off: it’s a really stupid experience. Increasing the randomness in a game at the cost of deliberation and technical skills is a huge loss. Consider one of the utmost “life bar awareness” moments with Daigo vs JWong: instead Daigo might have just randomly died. Wee.
Anyways, we have a “No Polls” rule in the FGD rules that you can view in this forum. Since this thread seems to also have run clearly into the ground, I think we’re done here. If you have this kind of meta-poll question in the future, I would encourage you to take it to the FGD Lounge thread.
