Updated the file, the C Rank limitations used some outdated terminology and was intended to read "Until you rank up, you can only mark one Upgrade for each Power, not both, and you cannot mark Upgrades for Passive" .

The Haymaker "Enrapturing Glance" says that this can also be used outside of the ring with a successful Moxie check. However, the Requirement to acquire the Haymaker is having at least 17 Moxie and considering how rolls are resolved, it's been long impossible to fail Moxie rolls at that point. In fact, every Moxie roll is a Perfect Success by the point you can acquire it.

I feel like stat requirements for Haymakers are not well-thought out in general. "Brittler" and "Best in the West" are mathematically-impossible to be acquired before Level 10 and those are Level 5 Haymakers. "You're Already Dead" is impossible to get before Level 15 and it's a Level 7 Haymaker. All but one Level 20 Haymaker cannot be acquired before Level 35 assuming maximized stats and level-up rolls.

Tempted to houserule that stat requirements for Haymakers are halved (rounded down) so they're realistic to reach at their levels if one has some luck with their levels and focus their build towards it.

Sentient Star

Turns out the small star at the core isn't like other stars...
Players set a Level. The Sentient Star Scenario counts as a Card belonging to no player with the chosen Level and the following effects:
(Harness Infinite Power) Whenever a player ends their turn, they may choose the highest-Level Card in play that isn't this Card and discard it.
(Doesn't Like Attention) Whenever a Card's effect reduces the Sentient Star's Level, that Card reduces its own level by the same amount after the effect has resolved. This cannot be prevented or countered in any way.
(Befriend A Star?) When this Card is reduced to negative Levels because of a Card's effect, the player controlling said Card takes the round. Otherwise, Sentient Star is set back to Level 0.

To this day, I still replay A Link To The Past every 1-2 years because it was a cornerstone of my childhood and I probably played it 10 times at least as a kid.

And if that doesn't count, beating Battletoads in Battlemania as a kid and Alundra as a young teenager should count.

Also I'm very interested in the topic of game design as a whole.
