How a stock falls

A match is not a health bar that empties. Each player has stocks. A stock is a life. You lose it by leaving the stage, not by the percent itself hitting a cap.

Hits add to a damage percent. At a low number, a punch shoves you. At a high number, the same punch launches you. The percent is a measure of how far the next clean hit can send you.

The blast zone is the boundary past the edges of the stage. Cross it and that stock is gone. You come back with the percent reset, until the stocks run out. The last player with a stock wins.

That is the loop: land hits, climb their percent, and choose the hit that clears the blast zone.
