@Thurhame: First of all, I completely understand you concerns, but let me point out a few things that might change your mind.
a) I am pretty sure that Peanuts attacks are strong enough that you don't want her to hit you, but not strong enough to be detrimental in the first or first two rounds (putting StD aside, now
)
b) It's just the first round we don't know
anything
(which isn't actually true, see point a)), I predict that by the end of the second turn, we'll know almost everything about her behaviour.
c) I'm not sure if it matters, but Rumble II also had a special mechanic, which was not explained, but it was simple enough to figure out (just as I expect this one to be.)
