They just have to put more thought into when to use them, because they cost more stamina. However, because combinations are still extremely effective, players will still look for opportunities to use them. If consecutive attacks (think combos) cost 300% more stamina, they will be used less, because otherwise players will run out of stamina quickly and be at a disadvantage. So, while the proposition of making combos and consecutive offensive attacks cost 300% more stamina is unrealistic, the impact it would have on gameplay would be very realistic, due to the incentives created. Then those incentives need to be evaluated in regards to how they impact gameplay. But we need to accept that it isn’t about the goal, or immediate effect of a mechanic - but rather, the incentives said mechanic creates. because it seems counterintuitive to create a stamina system where fighters gas out from throwing a few combos.
And I think this reality is confusing to developers, gamechangers, and the playerbase as a whole.
In other words, the stamina cost for attacks (particularly combos) would almost need to be unrealistically drastic, in order to have a realistic impact on gameplay. I’ve come to the conclusion that in order for an MMA game’s stamina system to have a “realistic” impact on the gameplay, the stamina and damage system would both need to be tuned dramatically.
