About The Pull Request

Paradise Station Original Corporate Judo PR: ParadiseSS13/Paradise#21229
Ports over Corporate Judo from Paradise Station. A combo fighting move martial art given when wearing the Judo belt. Corporate Judo relies on unarmed combos of combat intents to activate special moves. Each special move focuses on knocking down and exhausting the opponent till they are unable to resist apprehension.

Why It's Good For The Game

Sure, adding a new martial art like "Corporate Judo" to SS13 could definitely shake up the dynamic of security gameplay, especially given its unique focus on non-lethal combat and its restriction on batons. Here are some points to consider, breaking it down into pros and cons:

Pros

  1. Encourages More Tactical Play
    By introducing a martial art that emphasizes grappling and throwing over traditional baton use, Corporate Judo would encourage more skillful, strategic gameplay from security officers. It rewards good positioning, timing, and the ability to anticipate and counter an opponent's movements, rather than just relying on the baton as a crutch.

  2. Non-Lethal Playstyle
    Since Corporate Judo focuses on incapacitating enemies without the use of lethal force, it creates a more diverse, non-lethal approach to handling suspects. This could lead to a more nuanced approach in situations where security needs to subdue a criminal or disrupt a riot but without the risk of fatality, fostering a more dynamic, less deadly security department.

  3. Promotes Roleplay
    The introduction of a specialized martial art can create more opportunities for interesting roleplay. Officers trained in Corporate Judo could interact with suspects in ways that are both humorous and professional, showing off their skills in non-lethal takedowns. It could also foster an interesting dynamic between Corporate Judo users and those who favor batons, creating rivalries and unique interactions.

  4. Balance to Baton Use
    A restriction on baton use might curb the over-reliance on batons for subduing criminals, which has been a common criticism in SS13. Security officers might have to rely on their wits and skills, rather than just baton-spamming, making confrontations more interesting.

Cons

  1. Balance Issues
    If Corporate Judo is too effective, it might make baton use seem obsolete, causing balance issues. Security officers might opt for Corporate Judo exclusively, creating frustration for antagonists or players who wish to resist arrest. On the other hand, if it's too weak, it might not be taken seriously as a viable option, making it irrelevant.

  2. Potential for Overpowered Abilities
    If the martial art allows for very easy takedowns or counters, especially against armed or untrained opponents, it could create a situation where security officers can completely overpower criminals, even if they are armed. This could reduce the variety and excitement of confrontations, making them too one-sided.

  3. Reduced Lethal Force Options
    With a focus on non-lethal force, it might become more difficult for security officers to deal with particularly aggressive or dangerous antagonists who don't respond to non-lethal tactics. While it's good to reduce excessive violence, it might feel frustrating when an antagonist is too dangerous to be subdued without the baton or lethal options.


In Conclusion:

Introducing Corporate Judo could be a fun way to encourage security officers to approach law enforcement and self-defense in a more creative and non-lethal way. It could add depth and strategic variety to security playstyles, offer opportunities for interesting roleplay, and curb the over-reliance on batons for subduing criminals. However, careful balancing would be necessary to avoid making it overpowered or frustrating for other players. With proper implementation, it could be a fun and dynamic addition to SS13's complex interactions.
