Competerative

There are many games, mostly board games where a cooperative victory or failure is achieved. A Competerative game has the same conditions but there will still be a winner by some individual achievement. This type of game can be tough to really win as players will pull punches or alpha strike at inopportune times for the group to manipulate their score for the final win. This can cause a loss for everyone but if you wanted a game that was fully cooperative you would be playing that instead.

Games like Pandemic and Flashpoint are cooperative but games like Dungeon Run are competerative.

The ER social worker said I lost the competitive suicidality match to that woman, so I might as well follow my plan and off myself.

competitive balance

Competitive balance is a concept used for good game making in multiplayer, player versus player games where different characters have different stats.

Basically, no single character type will be better than the other character types.

So if the character types are warrior, archer, and mage, a game that maintains competitive balance will have archers beat mages, mages beat warriors, and warriors beat archers for example.

Note that this is a generalized concept. An archer could theoretically beat a warrior in a fight in the above example, but generally, warriors will have the advantage over archers.

Also known as Elemental Rock Paper Scissors when elements are involved.

*Playing Super Smash Brothers Brawl*
"So who are you gonna be?"
"I like Meta Knight. I'm gonna be him."
"Are you crazy? He breaks competitive balance he's so over powered!"
