one point that i'd like to bring up regarding time outs is that the amount of life the winner gets back is dependent on how much time is left on the clock at the end of the round. correct me if i'm wrong, but if someone wins by time out, they receive no life back the next round, right?
if this is the case then winning by time out punishes the winner for turtling to win by not letting him regain any life. i think this is a very important aspect that affects the flow of the game. how life regaining is affected by 99 secs vs. 60 secs, i have no clue, so i guess it should be tested before i can draw some kind of conclusion. but i feel that this should be kept in mind, and actually changes the way the game is played
