I was having similiar thoughts, but wondering if a st 9/ sz 3 (or even 11/3)
character was really likely to get four kills in ten matches.
Also, generally I'm thinking that since everyone is going to be SO offensive
scumming for the first round seems a definite general strategy.  For
that reason I really like the idea of a PS or PL.  Maybe, even a PR if
good enough, which has made me wonder if 11-8-3-21-17-3-21 might be "good
enough" right off the bat to parry and even riposte regularly instead of
getting hit.  Thoughts?

How exactly does the "increased kill desire" affect everything?  Does it
mean that PRs have to run 3-6-2 to keep from getting too aggressive instead
of 3-6-3?  Does it mean that people with 10 kd are insanely reckless about
trying to kill their opponents, neglecting any defense or good form for that
massive finishing blow - or just like normal KD 10 characters who happen to
get the message "seeks the death of his opponent" more often after wounding
their opponent?
