Desperation attacks

Hey, first of all, it's not bad to have ideas. Ideas are good.

The problem with hacking and modding, though, is that you have to work within the actual framework of the game. While some hackers like to claim you can do ANYTHING, the reality is the constraints of the game limit what you can do. You can't reasonably, for instance, change the battle system into side-scrolling platformer, or have five characters in a party, or even allow more than one character to take a turn at a time (which would make two player much more viable).

That being said, Catone once theorized that there could be a new separate command added by replacing either the "Def" or "Row" options in the menu. One could simply blank out the directives to generate a chance at a DA when selecting "Fight."  Combined with a once-per-battle rule (possibly by cloning the code...or by implementing elements of GrayShadows one-time use Shock code), this might be worth looking into.

Another problem with making Desperation Attacks used more is that they are all overpowered. Even if you could find a way to incorporate them as commands, you would have to limit or change them somehow. The once-per battle idea is one possibility, but there are others.

Besides, I completely misread "making everyone's desperation attack usable on command rather than when their hp is low" as "making everyone's desperation attack usable on command when their hp is low." By missing the "rather than" I earned my dunce cap fair and square. You're going to have to try harder in the Idiocy Olympics.
