Dragonball Syndrome
related to mudflation, but not isolated to mmorpgs. a plot device whereby a storyline or a video game’s progress is driven by an increase of pure numbers. challenges are not overcome by wit, comp-ssion, or strategy, but by simply matching or overwhelming the opposing force. the next challenge typically requires even more mathematical growth to win.
the dragonball series is a cl-ssic example, as it centers around the growth of a simple martial artist as his power grows to compete with his enemies. eventually he can bend time, dance in black holes, and destroy solar systems with a mere glance. power ratings of around 200 were amazing at the start of dragonball, where ratings of over 20 billion rampage through the latest volumes.
dragonball syndrome in action:
