Yeah, I was assuming Sum the spreadsheet function.  Makes more sense now.

So.  This is a game where multihit attacks have each extra hit does one less damage (unless you're already doing 1), and if you hit a boss you get capped at 5 hits maximum.  Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.  Dunno, but happy to share the info for someone for whom that might ring a bell.  Vagrant Story?!  (Total lies, you can do more than 5 hits to a boss I'm pretty sure.)

Yes.

First formula is the damage formula against you, where K is sometimes 0.5 for Last Stand, and b is blocking, which operates after last stand cuts the damage in half (and is not a constant 0 or 1, as some badges increase your block reduction).  Given that I think I'm the only Paper Mario challenge runner in this group, I wasn't expecting people to recognize this formula (as nobody else had a reason to memorize the last stand mechanics).

Second formula is the multijump/multibonk formula.  I wasn't sure if this was too obvious for the second clue, or if I needed to be semi-obvious due to the sheer number of people in this group who don't seem to have played Paper Mario....

Okami.  For god's sake, people.
Rocky: you do know what an A-bomb is, right?
Bullwinkle: A-bomb is what some people call our show!
Rocky: I don't think that's very funny...
Bullwinkle: Neither do they, apparently!

Bingo.

I don't have to explain this, do I?
