## 🥋 Fighting Stance Guard Animation System (자세 방어 애니메이션)

**Added**: January 2025 - Authentic Korean martial arts guard positions with breathing animations

The Fighting Stance Guard Animation System provides stance-specific defensive postures for all 8 trigram stances, implementing authentic Korean martial arts guard positions with realistic breathing animations at 60fps.

### Guard Pose Architecture

Each of the 8 trigram stances has a unique default guard pose that reflects traditional Korean martial arts positioning:

```typescript
interface StanceGuardPose {
  leftArm: { shoulder: Euler; elbow: Euler; wrist: Euler };
  rightArm: { shoulder: Euler; elbow: Euler; wrist: Euler };
  torso: Euler;
  weight: 'forward' | 'neutral' | 'back';
  breathingRange: { min: number; max: number };
}
```

### Eight Trigram Guard Positions

| Trigram | Korean | Guard Type | Weight | Breathing | Martial Arts Basis |
|---------|--------|------------|--------|-----------|-------------------|
| ☰ 건 | Heaven | High Guard | Forward | 6 frames | Taekwondo Ap Seogi |
| ☱ 태 | Lake | Fluid Mid-Guard | Forward | 6 frames | Taekwondo Ap Koobi Seogi |
| ☲ 리 | Fire | Aggressive Forward | Neutral | 4 frames | Taekwondo Juchum Seogi |
| ☳ 진 | Thunder | Explosive Ready | Back | 5 frames | Taekwondo Dwi Koobi Seogi |
| ☴ 손 | Wind | Continuous Motion | Neutral | 6 frames | Taekwondo Niunja Seogi |
| ☵ 감 | Water | Flowing Defensive | Neutral | 6 frames | Taekwondo Narani Seogi |
| ☶ 간 | Mountain | Solid Defensive | Neutral | 4 frames | Taekwondo Gibo Seogi |
| ☷ 곤 | Earth | Grounded Low | Neutral | 5 frames | Taekwondo Joong Ha Seogi |

    classDef stance fill:#ffd700,stroke:#333,color:#000,stroke-width:2px
```

### Breathing Animation System

Each guard implements authentic martial arts breathing patterns:

**Breathing Frame Counts**:
- **Power Stances** (Heaven, Thunder, Earth): 5-6 frames for deep breathing
- **Precision Stances** (Fire, Mountain): 4 frames for controlled breathing
- **Fluid Stances** (Lake, Wind, Water): 6 frames for flowing breathing

**Breathing Range**:
- Min: 0.96-0.99 (inhale, chest expansion)
- Max: 1.01-1.04 (exhale, chest contraction)
- Target FPS: 60fps for smooth animation

### Implementation Files

**Core System**:
- `src/systems/animation/StanceGuardPoses.ts` - Guard pose configurations (8 stances)
- `src/systems/animation/AnimationStateMachine.ts` - State machine with guard support
- `src/systems/animation/AnimationTransitions.ts` - Guard transition rules (264 rules)
- `src/types/skeletal.ts` - Guard pose type definitions

**Helper Methods**:
```typescript
// Transition to stance-specific guard
machine.transitionToStanceGuard(TrigramStance.GEON);

// Check if in guard state
if (machine.isInStanceGuard()) {
  const currentGuardStance = machine.getCurrentGuardStance();
}

// Get guard pose for rendering
const guardPose = getGuardPoseForStance(TrigramStance.LI);
```

### Korean Martial Arts Authenticity

Each guard position is based on traditional Korean martial arts stances (자세):

**☰ 건 (Geon) - Heaven**: High guard based on 앞서기 (Ap Seogi - Walking Stance)
- Hands raised to shoulder level or above
- Weight 60% forward for aggressive positioning
- Ready for overhead strikes and bone-breaking techniques
- Breathing emphasizes chest expansion for power generation

**☱ 태 (Tae) - Lake**: Fluid mid-guard based on 앞굽이 (Ap Koobi Seogi - Front Stance)
- Hands at mid-level (chest height)
- Extended reach for joint locks and throws (+15% reach bonus)
- Weight forward for throwing leverage
- Smooth flowing breathing for continuous adaptation

**☲ 리 (Li) - Fire**: Aggressive forward guard based on 주춤 (Juchum Seogi - Horse Stance)
- Hands forward in striking position
- Low center of gravity for stability (+15% stability vs vital strikes)
- Neutral weight but ready to explode forward
- Controlled shallow breathing for precision (+5% crit chance)

**☳ 진 (Jin) - Thunder**: Explosive ready stance based on 뒤굽이 (Dwi Koobi Seogi - Back Stance)
- Hands chambered high for explosive release
- Weight 70% back for sudden forward burst
- Ready for shocking nerve strikes (+15% shock damage)
- Deep breathing for power generation

**☴ 손 (Son) - Wind**: Continuous motion guard based on 니은자 (Niunja Seogi - L-Stance)
- Hands in flowing circular pattern
- Neutral weight for lateral movement (+10% lateral mobility)
- Ready for pressure point sequences (+10% chaining speed)
- Rhythmic breathing for sustained combos

**☵ 감 (Gam) - Water**: Flowing defensive guard based on 나란이 (Narani Seogi - Parallel Stance)
- Hands low and flowing
- Centered weight for adaptability (+10% counter speed)
- Ready for counter-grappling and sweeps
- Deep flowing breathing for counter-attacks (+15 bleed on rib shots)

**☶ 간 (Gan) - Mountain**: Solid defensive posture based on 기본 (Gibo Seogi - Basic Stance)
- Arms in tight defensive position
- Balanced weight for maximum stability (+15% block strength)
- Immovable blocking stance (+10% counter-strike speed)
- Minimal steady breathing for endurance

**☷ 곤 (Gon) - Earth**: Grounded low guard based on 중하 (Joong Ha Seogi - Deep Stance)
- Hands very low for ground control
- Low center of gravity (+20% ground-control advantage)
- Ready for throws and takedowns (+20 bleed on takedowns)
- Deep diaphragm breathing for explosive power

### Transition Rules

**Guard → Combat Actions**:
- Guards can transition to attack, defend, stance_change
- Guards can be interrupted by hit, ko (high priority)
- Guards can transition to movement (walk, run)

**Combat Actions → Guard**:
- After non-looping animations complete, returns to idle (not guard)
- Explicit guard transition required via `transitionToStanceGuard()`
- Stance change (600ms) can lead to new guard

**Guard ↔ Guard**:
- Direct transitions between guards allowed (instant guard change)
- Useful for rapid stance adaptation without full stance_change animation
- Example: `stance_guard_geon` → `stance_guard_tae` (immediate switch)

### Performance Characteristics

**Animation Performance**:
- **Frame Rate**: 60fps breathing animations
- **Transition Time**: <1ms for guard switching
- **Memory Usage**: Minimal (8 guard configs cached)
- **Test Coverage**: 166 tests (97 pose validation + 40 transition + 29 state machine)

**Integration Points**:
- **SkeletalPlayer3D**: Ready for skeletal rig rendering
- **StanceManager**: Hook for trigram system integration
- **CombatHUD**: Guard position indicators prepared

  const guardPose = getGuardPoseForStance(guardStance);
  
  // Apply to skeletal rig
  applyArmRotations(skeletalRig, guardPose.leftArm, guardPose.rightArm);
  applyTorsoRotation(skeletalRig, guardPose.torso);
  
  // Update breathing animation
  const breathScale = interpolate(
    guardPose.breathingRange.min,
    guardPose.breathingRange.max,
    machine.getCurrentFrame() / machine.getCurrentAnimation().frames
  );
  applyBreathingScale(skeletalRig, breathScale);
}

### Animation Characteristics

**Timing Guidelines**:
- **Fast Attacks** (200-260ms): Fire nerve strikes, Thunder explosive techniques
- **Medium Attacks** (280-360ms): Heaven direct strikes, Mountain counters, Water flow-counters
- **Slow Attacks** (380-450ms): Lake throws, Earth takedowns, Wind combos
- **Defenses** (150-450ms): Varied timing based on stance philosophy
- **Transitions** (600ms): Smooth stance changes with proper mechanics

**Body Mechanics**:
All animations include:
- ✅ Proper wind-up phases (preparation)
- ✅ Strike/impact phases (execution)
- ✅ Recovery phases (return to guard)
- ✅ Torso rotation for power generation
- ✅ Hip engagement and weight transfer
- ✅ Knee bend for stability
- ✅ Ankle positioning for balance

**Korean Cultural Accuracy**:
- ✅ Based on authentic Korean martial arts (Taekwondo, Hapkido, Taekyon)
- ✅ I Ching philosophical characteristics per stance
- ✅ Traditional Korean terminology (Hangul + Romanization)
- ✅ Realistic body mechanics from Korean fighting systems
- ✅ Dark Ops special operations techniques integrated

### Animation Integration

```typescript
import {
  getAttackAnimationsForStance,
  getDefensiveAnimationsForStance,
  getGuardPoseForStance,
  getStanceTransition,
} from '@/systems/animation';
import { TrigramStance } from '@/types/common';

// Get all animations for Fire stance (리)
const stance = TrigramStance.LI;

// Guard pose
const guardPose = getGuardPoseForStance(stance);

// Attack animations (3 variations)
const attacks = getAttackAnimationsForStance(stance);
console.log(attacks[0].koreanName); // "리 불타는 손가락 타격 1"
console.log(attacks[1].koreanName); // "리 태양신경총 찌르기"
console.log(attacks[2].koreanName); // "리 봉황의 눈 타격"

// Defensive animations (2 variations)
const defenses = getDefensiveAnimationsForStance(stance);
console.log(defenses[0].koreanName); // "리 정밀 받아넘기기"
console.log(defenses[1].koreanName); // "리 신경타격 반격"

// Transition to another stance
const transition = getStanceTransition(
  TrigramStance.LI,
  TrigramStance.GAM
);
console.log(transition.duration); // 600ms
console.log(transition.type); // "indirect" (opposite stances)
```

### Transition Types

The system classifies transitions into three categories based on stance distance around the octagonal stance wheel:

#### 1. **Self Transition** (자기 전환)
- **Korean**: 같은 자세
- **Distance**: 0 steps
- **Duration**: 0ms (no animation)
- **Example**: geon → geon
- **Count**: 8 transitions (one per stance)

#### 2. **Direct Transition** (직접 전환)
- **Korean**: 인접 자세 전환
- **Distance**: 1-2 steps on wheel
- **Duration**: 600ms (36 frames at 60fps)
- **Examples**: geon → tae, li → jin
- **Ki Cost**: 11 (0.7x modifier for adjacent)
- **Stamina Cost**: 7 (0.7x modifier for adjacent)
- **Count**: ~24 transitions

#### 3. **Indirect Transition** (간접 전환)
- **Korean**: 반대 자세 전환
- **Distance**: 3-4 steps on wheel
- **Duration**: 600ms (36 frames at 60fps)
- **Examples**: geon → son, tae → gam (opposite stances)
- **Ki Cost**: 15 (full cost)
- **Stamina Cost**: 10 (full cost)
- **Count**: ~32 transitions
- **Note**: Uses extended neutral phase for complex repositioning

### Stance Wheel Arrangement

The 8 trigram stances are arranged in traditional I Ching order:

```
      ☰ GEON (Heaven)
   ☱ TAE         ☷ GON (Earth)
☲ LI                  ☶ GAN (Mountain)
   ☳ JIN         ☵ GAM (Water)
      ☴ SON (Wind)
```

**Distance Examples**:
- `geon → tae`: 1 step (adjacent, direct)
- `geon → li`: 2 steps (near-adjacent, direct)
- `geon → jin`: 3 steps (far, indirect)
- `geon → son`: 4 steps (opposite, indirect)
- `geon → gon`: 1 step (wraps around, adjacent, direct)

### Transition Keyframe Phases

All non-self transitions consist of 3 animation phases over 36 frames (600ms at 60fps):

#### Direct Transition Keyframes (Adjacent Stances)

```
Frame  0-12: Weight Shift Phase (중심 이동)
  - Frame 0:  Source stance, 1.0 blend
  - Frame 6:  Begin weight shift, 0.8 blend
  - Frame 12: Neutral position, 0.5 blend

Frame 12-24: Foot Repositioning Phase (발 재배치)
  - Frame 18: Neutral stance, 0.4 blend
  - Frame 24: Begin target stance, 0.3 blend

Frame 24-36: Guard Change Phase (방어 자세 변경)
  - Frame 30: Target stance forming, 0.7 blend
  - Frame 36: Target stance complete, 1.0 blend
```

#### Indirect Transition Keyframes (Opposite Stances)

```
Frame  0-12: Exit Source Stance (원래 자세 벗어남)
  - Frame 0:  Source stance, 1.0 blend
  - Frame 6:  Begin exit, 0.7 blend
  - Frame 12: Neutral position, 0.5 blend

Frame 12-24: Extended Neutral Phase (중립 자세 유지)
  - Frame 18: Hold neutral, 0.5 blend
  - Frame 24: Neutral maintained, 0.4 blend

Frame 24-36: Enter Target Stance (목표 자세 진입)
  - Frame 30: Target stance forming, 0.6 blend
  - Frame 36: Target stance complete, 1.0 blend
```

### Cost Calculation

Transition costs vary based on stance distance and player archetype:

#### Base Costs
- **Ki**: 15 points
- **Stamina**: 10 points
- **Time**: 600ms

#### Adjacency Modifiers
- **Adjacent (distance 1)**: 0.7x cost → 11 ki, 7 stamina
- **Near-adjacent (distance 2)**: 0.85x cost → 13 ki, 9 stamina
- **Distant/Opposite (distance 3-4)**: 1.0x cost → 15 ki, 10 stamina

#### Archetype Modifiers
- **Favored stances**: 0.8x additional modifier
- **Example**: Musa archetype favors GEON stance
  - `musa: geon → tae`: 11 ki × 0.8 = 9 ki

### Implementation Details

#### Core Functions

```typescript
// Calculate distance around stance wheel
calculateStanceDistance(
  from: TrigramStance, 
  to: TrigramStance
): number; // Returns 0-4

// Determine transition type
determineTransitionType(
  from: TrigramStance, 
  to: TrigramStance
): StanceTransitionType; // Returns 'direct' | 'indirect' | 'self'

// Create complete transition configuration
createStanceTransition(
  from: TrigramStance, 
  to: TrigramStance
): StanceTransition;

// Retrieve transition from matrix
getStanceTransition(
  from: TrigramStance, 
  to: TrigramStance
): StanceTransition | undefined;

// Get all transitions from a stance
getTransitionsFromStance(
  from: TrigramStance
): StanceTransition[];
```

#### Transition Matrix

The system generates and caches all 64 possible transitions on initialization:

```typescript
// Automatic initialization on module load
initializeStanceTransitions(); // Generates 64 transitions

// Access transitions via Map
const transition = STANCE_TRANSITIONS.get('geon_tae');

// Type-safe retrieval
const transition = getStanceTransition(TrigramStance.GEON, TrigramStance.TAE);
```

### Visual Feedback Components

#### 1. StanceChangeIndicator (자세변경표시기)

Displays progress during stance transitions:

```typescript
<StanceChangeIndicator
  currentStance={playerStanceIndex}
  previousStance={prevStanceIndex}
  showProgress={true}
  transitionDuration={600}
  duration={1000}
  isMobile={false}
/>
```

**Features**:
- 600ms animated progress bar
- Real-time countdown timer (ms)
- Bilingual labels: 팔괘전환 | Transition
- Stance name display (Korean + English)
- Color-coded by target stance
- Stance symbol display (☰☱☲☳☴☵☶☷)

#### 2. StanceTransitionEffect (자세전환효과)

3D visual effects during transitions:

```typescript
<StanceTransitionEffect
  fromStance={TrigramStance.GEON}
  toStance={TrigramStance.TAE}
  duration={0.6}
  showNameOverlay={true}
  onTransitionComplete={() => console.log('Complete')}
/>
```

**Features**:
- Expanding energy ring effect
- Smooth color interpolation (old → new stance color)
- Stance aura fade/bloom
- Bilingual stance name overlay (1 second display)
- Auto-cleanup after completion

### Performance Characteristics

#### Initialization
- **Matrix generation**: <100ms for all 64 transitions
- **Memory footprint**: ~8KB (64 transitions × ~125 bytes each)
- **One-time cost**: Occurs on module load

#### Runtime Performance
- **Transition lookup**: O(1) Map lookup, <1μs
- **1000 random lookups**: <10ms
- **Frame rate**: Maintains 60fps during transitions
- **Progress bar animation**: requestAnimationFrame, <1ms per frame

#### Memory Management
- **Keyframes**: Immutable, shared across all instances
- **No per-transition allocation**: Reuses cached configurations
- **Automatic cleanup**: Visual components dispose on unmount

### Integration with Combat System

#### Stance Change Workflow

```typescript
// 1. Player initiates stance change
const canChange = stanceManager.canChangeStance(player, newStance);

if (canChange) {
  // 2. Calculate transition cost
  const cost = transitionCalculator.calculateCost(
    player.currentStance,
    newStance
  );
  
  // 3. Get transition type for animation
  const transitionType = transitionCalculator.getTransitionType(
    player.currentStance,
    newStance
  );
  
  // 4. Trigger animation state machine
  animationMachine.transitionTo('stance_change');
  
  // 5. Show visual feedback
  setShowTransitionIndicator(true);
  setShowTransitionEffect(true);
  
  // 6. Apply costs after animation completes (600ms)
  setTimeout(() => {
    player.ki -= cost.ki;
    player.stamina -= cost.stamina;
    player.currentStance = newStance;
    
    // 7. Transition to new stance guard
    animationMachine.transitionToStanceGuard(newStance);
  }, cost.timeMilliseconds);
}
```

#### Non-Interruptible Period

During the 600ms transition:
- **Player cannot**:
  - Attack or defend
  - Change stance again
  - Execute techniques
  - Move (except continued momentum)
- **Player can**:
  - Be hit (vulnerable during transition)
  - Cancel via defensive roll (costs additional stamina)

### Korean Martial Arts Authenticity

The transition system reflects authentic Korean martial arts principles:

#### 중심 이동 (Center Movement)
- Traditional stance changes emphasize **center of gravity shift**
- Keyframes model realistic weight transfer between stances
- Neutral position represents brief moment of vulnerability

#### 발놀림 (Foot Work)
- Foot repositioning phase models actual footwork (보법)
- Distance affects complexity: adjacent = simple, opposite = complex
- Indirect transitions require **pivot and step** sequence

#### 호흡 조절 (Breath Control)
- Breath timing synchronized with stance transitions
- Exhale during weight shift (frames 0-12)
- Inhale during stabilization (frames 24-36)
- Proper breathing reduces transition penalties

#### 무술 철학 (Martial Arts Philosophy)
- **Eight Trigrams (팔괘)** represent natural forces
- Transitions between elements require understanding and energy
- Opposite elements (e.g., Fire ↔ Water) are most difficult
- Adjacent elements flow naturally into each other

### AnimationStateMachine Integration

**New Methods** (added in latest update):

```typescript
// Start stance-specific transition with keyframes
transitionToStanceChange(
  fromStance: TrigramStance, 
  toStance: TrigramStance
): boolean;

// Access active transition data
getCurrentStanceTransition(): StanceTransition | null;

// Get interpolated blend for current frame
getStanceTransitionBlend(): {
  frame: number;
  stance: TrigramStance | 'neutral';
  blend: number;
} | null;

// Check if in stance transition
isInStanceTransition(): boolean;
```

**Automatic Cleanup**:
- Clears transition data when animation completes
- Clears transition data when interrupted (e.g., by hit)
- Preserves existing transition if new transition fails

**Performance**:
- Blend query: <0.01ms per call
- 1000 queries: <10ms total
- Full transition: <5ms for 36 frames
- Zero allocation: Reuses cached transition configs

**Test Coverage**: 28 integration tests (100% passing), 628 total animation tests

## 🦵 Injury-Based Movement Penalty System (이동 패널티 시스템)

**Added**: December 2024 - Realistic leg and body damage affecting movement, stance changes, and combat mobility

### Overview

The Movement Penalty System implements realistic injury-based movement penalties where leg and body damage reduces movement speed, restricts stance changes, and affects balance. This system creates authentic combat trauma effects based on Korean martial arts principles where targeting legs (다리) is a fundamental combat strategy.

### Movement Speed Penalties

Progressive speed reduction based on average leg health:

| Leg Health | Injury State | Speed Multiplier | Can Run | Korean Term |
|------------|--------------|------------------|---------|-------------|
| 100-70% | Normal | 1.0x (100%) | ✅ Yes | 정상 (Jeongsang) |
| 69-50% | Limping | 0.8x (80%) | ✅ Yes | 절름 (Jeolreum) |
| 49-30% | Severe Limp | 0.6x (60%) | ✅ Yes | 심한 절름 (Simhan Jeolreum) |
| <30% | Hobbled | 0.4x (40%) | ❌ No | 절뚝거림 (Jeolttukgeorim) |

**Korean Martial Arts Context**: Traditional Korean martial arts emphasize 하단 공격 (hadan gonggyeok - low attacks) targeting legs to disable opponent mobility. This system reflects authentic combat where leg damage is decisive.

### Stance Change Penalties

Damaged legs affect ability to transition between the Eight Trigram stances:

- **Legs ≥50% health**: Normal stance change speed (1.0x)
- **Legs <50% health**: Stance change takes 2x longer
- **Legs <30% health**: Cannot access advanced stances (restricted to basic stances only)

**Korean Philosophy**: The Eight Trigrams (팔괘) require solid footing and leg strength. Injured legs prevent proper stance transitions, limiting tactical options.

### Instant Penalties from Knee/Ankle Strikes

Striking specific leg vital points causes immediate severe movement impairment:

**Target Zones**:
- **무릎 (Mureup)** - Knee joint
- **발목 (Balmok)** - Ankle joint
- **아킬레스건 (Akilles-geon)** - Achilles tendon

**Effect**:
- **Speed**: 30% movement speed (0.3x multiplier)
- **Duration**: 5 seconds
- **Overrides**: Takes precedence over regular injury penalties

### Asymmetric Damage Effects

Left and right leg damage affects directional movement asymmetrically:

**Movement Penalties**:
- **Left leg injured + moving left**: 20% additional penalty (0.8x)
- **Left leg injured + moving right**: 10% additional penalty (0.9x)
- **Right leg injured + moving right**: 20% additional penalty (0.8x)
- **Right leg injured + moving left**: 10% additional penalty (0.9x)

**Combat Realism**: This creates authentic limping behavior where movement toward the injured side is more impaired, forcing tactical positioning adjustments.

### Balance State Integration

Low leg health increases vulnerability to balance-disrupting attacks:

**Balance State Transitions**:
- **Legs <30% health**: Enter VULNERABLE state (more susceptible to knockdowns)
- **Both legs <30% health**: Enter HELPLESS state (cannot maintain combat stance)

**Korean Combat Theory**: The concept of 중심 (jungsim - center/balance) is fundamental. Damaged legs compromise 하단 안정성 (hadan anjeongseon - lower body stability), increasing vulnerability.

### Performance Characteristics

**Calculation Speed**:
- **Single calculation**: <1ms
- **Average over 1000 calculations**: <1ms
- **60 FPS compatible**: ✅ Yes

**Integration Points**:
- **AI Movement**: `useCombatActions.ts` - `moveAIPlayer()` function
- **Player Movement**: Ready for integration (hook system in place)
- **Combat System**: Prepared for instant penalty triggers on vital point hits

const actualSpeed = baseSpeed * penalty.speedMultiplier;

// Check if advanced stances are restricted
if (penalty.advancedStancesRestricted) {
  // Only allow basic stances
  allowedStances = BASIC_STANCES_ONLY;
}

// Check for balance state transitions
if (movementPenaltySystem.shouldEnterHelplessState(health, maxHealth)) {
  enterCombatState(CombatState.HELPLESS);
}
```

### Future Enhancements

**Visual Feedback** (Planned):
- Limping animation states favoring injured leg
- Reduced stride length based on injury severity
- Balance wobbling when turning with damaged legs
- Leg injury indicators in combat HUD

**Combat Integration** (Planned):

### Combat Physics Integration

#### Hit Detection & Range Calculation (타격 판정 및 거리 계산)

**Physics-First Coordinate System**: All combat positions and distances use meters (m) as the base unit. Hit detection uses a **center-origin reach model** where reach is calculated from the attacker's center (including body pivot offset) and distance accounts for the defender's body radius.

**Body Radius Calculation**:
```typescript
import { calculateBodyRadius } from "@/utils/skeletonScaling";

// Calculate body radius from shoulder width
// Formula: bodyRadius = (shoulderWidth * 0.5) / 100 meters
const defenderRadius = calculateBodyRadius(defenderPhysicalAttributes);

// Archetype body radii (examples):
// - Jojik (54cm shoulders): 0.270m radius
// - Musa (46cm shoulders): 0.230m radius  
// - Hacker (43cm shoulders): 0.215m radius
```

**Effective Distance Formula**:
```typescript
// Center-to-center distance (Euclidean)
const centerDistance = Math.sqrt(
  (attacker.x - defender.x) ** 2 + (attacker.y - defender.y) ** 2
);

// Effective striking distance (center to defender surface)
// Note: Reach calculation already includes attacker's body pivot/offset
// (shoulder offset for punches, hip rotation for kicks), so we only
// subtract defender radius to avoid double-counting the attacker dimension.
// Clamped to non-negative when centers overlap.
const effectiveDistance = Math.max(0, centerDistance - defenderRadius);

// Hit detection
const inRange = effectiveDistance <= techniqueMaxReach;
```

**Example Distance Calculation**:
```
Jojik (attacker) vs Hacker (defender) at 1.0m apart:
- Center-to-center: 1.0m
- Defender radius: 0.215m
- Effective distance: 1.0 - 0.215 = 0.785m
- Jojik jab reach: ~1.265m (calculated from attacker center, includes body pivot)
  - Arm: 0.84m
  - Body pivot (shoulder offset + torso): 0.37m
  - Peak multiplier: 0.95
  - Stance: 1.1 (GEON)
  - Reach = (0.84 + 0.37) * 0.95 * 1.1 = 1.265m
- Result: HIT (0.785m < 1.265m)
```

**Implementation Locations**:
- **Combat**: `src/systems/CombatSystem.ts` - `resolveAttack()` method
- **Training**: `src/components/screens/training/hooks/useTrainingActions.ts` - `calculateHitAccuracy()` function
- **AI Decision**: `src/systems/ai/DecisionTree.ts` - Range approximations with body pivot values

**Performance**: Hit detection with body radius calculation is designed to run within the <1ms per check budget on target hardware; actual performance may vary by platform and configuration.

#### Reach Calculation (거리 계산)

Different attack types use different limbs with varying extensions:

| **Attack Type** | **Limb Used** | **Extension** | **Example Range** |
|----------------|---------------|---------------|-------------------|
| Kick | Leg Length | 70-100% | 63-95 cm (Musa) |
| Punch/Strike | Arm Length | 80-100% | 60-75 cm (Musa) |
| Elbow | Arm × 0.6 | 90-100% | 40-45 cm (Musa) |
| Knee | Leg × 0.6 | 90-100% | 51-57 cm (Musa) |
| Grapple/Throw | Arm Length | 40-60% | 30-45 cm (Musa) |

**Code Integration**:
```typescript
import { calculateAttackRange, isWithinAttackRange } from "@/utils/combatPhysics";

// Validate kick can reach
if (isWithinAttackRange(attacker, target, CombatAttackType.KICK, 0.9)) {
  const kickRange = calculateAttackRange(attacker, CombatAttackType.KICK, 0.9);
  executeTechnique(attacker, target, kickTechnique);
}
```

#### Movement Speed (이동 속도)

Formula: `baseSpeed × (legLength / 95) × (75 / weight)`

**Modifiers**:
- Stamina < 30%: Speed × (stamina / 30), minimum 50%
- Consciousness < 50%: Speed × (consciousness / 50), minimum 30%
- Pain > 30: Speed × (1.0 - pain/200), minimum 60%

**Archetype Comparison**:
- Amsalja: ~114 speed (fastest)
- Musa: ~100 speed (baseline)
- Jojik: ~88 speed (slowest)

#### Damage Output (공격력)

Formula: `baseDamage × muscleModifier × attackPower × technique × momentum`

**Muscle Modifier**: `1.0 + ((muscleMass - 35) / 35) × 0.3`

**Archetype Damage Multipliers**:
- Jojik: ×1.06 (highest muscle mass)
- Musa: ×1.026 (balanced)
- Amsalja: ×0.974 (lowest, compensated by precision)

#### Defense Effectiveness (방어력)

Formula: `(defenseModifier - 1.0) × 0.5 + defense/200 + blockBonus`

**Defense Modifier**: `1.0 + (fatMass / 100) + (muscleMass / 200)`

**Block Bonus**: +30% damage reduction when actively blocking

**Archetype Defense**:
- Jojik: ~0.39 (39% damage reduction)
- Musa: ~0.31 (31% damage reduction)
- Amsalja: ~0.25 (25% damage reduction)

#### Stamina System (체력 시스템)

**Drain**: `baseCost × (weight / 75) × (1.0 + (fatMass - 12) / 50)`
- Heavy fighters with high fat drain stamina faster
- Fatigue penalty: ×1.5 cost when stamina < 30%

**Recovery**: `baseRate × ageFactor × fatFactor`
- Age factor peaks at 30 years, decreases before/after
- Fat factor: Lower fat = faster recovery
- Pain penalty: Reduces recovery when pain > 20
- No recovery while stunned

**Archetype Recovery Rates** (per second):
- Amsalja: ~10.2 (best recovery)
- Musa: ~9.8 (balanced)
- Jojik: ~8.4 (slowest recovery)

#### Weight Advantage (체급 우세)

Grappling and throwing effectiveness based on weight difference:

Formula: `1.0 + ((attackerWeight - defenderWeight) / 5) × 0.05`

**Examples**:
- Jojik (85kg) vs Amsalja (68kg): +17kg = **+17% throw damage**
- Amsalja (68kg) vs Jojik (85kg): -17kg = **-17% throw damage**
- Cap: ±30% maximum advantage/disadvantage

## 🤕 Fall Down Animation System (낙법 애니메이션 시스템)

**Added**: January 2025 - Realistic fall animations for knockdowns, leg sweeps, and consciousness loss

The Fall Down Animation System implements authentic Korean martial arts falling techniques (낙법 - Nakbeop) for realistic knockdown events. Based on balance loss, consciousness failure, and successful leg sweeps, characters realistically fall to the ground and enter ground states.

### Fall Animation Specifications

#### Four Fall Types (낙법 종류)

| Fall Type | Korean | Frames | Duration | Impact Frame | Trigger |
|-----------|--------|--------|----------|--------------|---------|
| **Forward** | 전방낙법 | 24 | 400ms | 18 | Rear attack, aggressive stances |
| **Backward** | 후방낙법 | 30 | 500ms | 22 | Frontal attack, consciousness loss |
| **Side Left** | 좌측낙법 | 27 | 450ms | 20 | Left side attack, leg sweep |
| **Side Right** | 우측낙법 | 27 | 450ms | 20 | Right side attack, leg sweep |

#### Ground States (지면 자세)

| Ground State | Korean | Description |
|--------------|--------|-------------|
| **Prone** | 엎드림 | Face down, breathing loop (4 frames) |
| **Supine** | 누움 | Face up, breathing loop (4 frames) |
| **Side Left** | 좌측와 | Left side, breathing loop (4 frames) |
| **Side Right** | 우측와 | Right side, breathing loop (4 frames) |

### System Integration

**Balance System** (균형 시스템):
- Triggers fall when balance < 20% (FALLING state)
- Determines fall direction from attack angle and stance
- Method: `balanceSystem.shouldTriggerFall(player)`
- Method: `balanceSystem.determineFallType(player, attackAngle, attackHeight)`

**Consciousness System** (의식 시스템):
- Triggers fall when consciousness < 10% (UNCONSCIOUS state)
- Uses last impact angle or stance bias for direction
- Method: `consciousnessSystem.shouldTriggerFall(player)`
- Method: `consciousnessSystem.determineFallType(player, lastImpactAngle)`

**Animation Priority**:
- Falls have highest priority (Priority 8, above KO=7)
- Can interrupt any animation including attacks and stance changes
- Automatically transition to ground states upon completion

## 🏃 Recovery Animation System (기상 애니메이션 시스템)

**Added**: January 2025 - Recovery animations for getting up from ground states with Korean martial arts principles

The Recovery Animation System completes the knockdown-recovery cycle by implementing authentic Korean martial arts recovery techniques (기상 - Gisang) from fallen states. Players can choose between quick standard recovery, fast roll recovery (costs stamina), or slow defensive getup (provides protection).

### Recovery Animation Specifications

#### Four Recovery Types (기상 종류)

| Recovery Type | Korean | Frames | Duration | Stamina Cost | Special |
|---------------|--------|--------|----------|--------------|---------|
| **Prone Stand-Up** | 엎드린 기상 | 30 | 500ms | 0 | Push up from face-down |
| **Supine Stand-Up** | 누운 기상 | 36 | 600ms | 0 | Sit up, roll forward, stand |
| **Roll Recovery** | 회전기상 | 24 | 400ms | 20 | Fastest, roll to side |
| **Defensive Getup** | 방어기상 | 42 | 700ms | 0 | Slow but 50% damage reduction |

#### Recovery Animation Details

**Prone Stand-Up (엎드린 기상)**:
- **Frames 0-8**: Hands push ground, torso lifts
- **Frames 9-18**: Legs swing under body, kneeling position
- **Frames 19-24**: Rise from kneeling to standing (vulnerable)
- **Frames 25-29**: Final stance adjustment (interruptible)

**Supine Stand-Up (누운 기상)**:
- **Frames 0-10**: Abs crunch sit-up motion
- **Frames 11-22**: Forward roll onto feet
- **Frames 23-30**: Feet plant, rise to standing (vulnerable)
- **Frames 31-35**: Final stance adjustment (interruptible)

**Roll Recovery (회전기상)**:
- **Frames 0-6**: Roll to side, momentum building
- **Frames 7-14**: Spring to feet with explosive movement
- **Frames 15-18**: Quick stance (vulnerable)
- **Frames 19-23**: Combat ready (interruptible)
- **Cost**: 20 stamina for speed advantage

**Defensive Getup (방어기상)**:
- **Frames 0-14**: Slow rise with arms guarding head/torso
- **Frames 15-28**: Gradual stand with maintained guard
- **Frames 29-36**: Stance formation with guard (50% damage reduction)
- **Frames 37-41**: Ready stance (interruptible)

#### Ground State to Recovery Mapping

| Ground State | Default Recovery | Alternative Options |
|--------------|------------------|---------------------|
| **Prone (엎드림)** | Prone Stand-Up | Roll, Defensive |
| **Supine (누움)** | Supine Stand-Up | Roll, Defensive |
| **Side Left (좌측와)** | Roll Recovery | Prone/Supine, Defensive |
| **Side Right (우측와)** | Roll Recovery | Prone/Supine, Defensive |

### Keyboard Controls (키보드 조작)

**When Grounded (지면 상태)**:
- **Space**: Quick/default recovery (based on ground position)
- **R or Enter**: Roll recovery (회전기상) - fastest, costs 20 stamina
- **Shift**: Defensive getup (방어기상) - slow but protected
- **All other inputs**: Blocked (cannot attack/move while down)

**Input Queue Display**:
- "기상 (Quick Recovery)" - Space
- "회전기상 (Roll Recovery)" - R/Enter
- "방어기상 (Defensive Getup)" - Shift

### System Integration

**Balance System Integration** (균형 시스템):
```typescript
// Detect grounded state
balanceSystem.isGrounded(animationState) // true if in ground_* state
balanceSystem.getGroundState(animationState) // "prone" | "supine" | "side_left" | "side_right"

// Check stamina for roll recovery
balanceSystem.canRecoverWithType(player, "roll_recovery") // true if stamina >= 20

// Apply stamina cost
const updatedPlayer = balanceSystem.applyRecoveryCost(player, "roll_recovery")

// Get damage multiplier during recovery
const multiplier = balanceSystem.getRecoveryDamageMultiplier("defensive_getup", frame)
// Returns 0.5 for defensive getup, 1.0 for others
```

**Animation State Machine** (애니메이션 상태 머신):
```typescript
// Determine recovery type from ground state
const recoveryType = determineRecoveryType(groundState)

// Get animation state name
const animationState = getRecoveryAnimationState(recoveryType)

// Transition to recovery animation
animationMachine.transitionTo(animationState)
// Auto-transitions to "idle" when complete
```

**Keyboard Controls Hook**:
```typescript
useKeyboardControls({
  currentAnimationState: player1Animation.currentState,
  onAction: (action) => {
    if (action === "recovery_quick") {
      // Handle quick recovery
    } else if (action === "recovery_roll") {
      // Handle roll recovery
    } else if (action === "recovery_defensive") {
      // Handle defensive getup
    }
  }
})
```

### Vulnerable Frames & Interruptibility

**Vulnerability Windows**:
- **Prone/Supine Stand-Up**: First 80% of animation (frames 0-24/0-30)
- **Roll Recovery**: First 75% of animation (frames 0-18)
- **Defensive Getup**: All frames (but 50% damage reduction)

**Interruptibility**:
- Last 6 frames (100ms) of each recovery are interruptible
- High-priority states (hit, ko, falls) can interrupt at any time
- Normal actions cannot interrupt recovery

**Animation Priority**:
- Recovery has highest priority (Priority 9)
- Only falls (8), KO (7), and hits (6) can interrupt
- Cannot switch between recovery types mid-execution

### Usage Example

```typescript
// Complete fall-ground-recovery cycle
// 1. Player falls forward
animationMachine.transitionTo("fall_forward");

// 2. Fall completes, auto-transition to ground_prone
// (handled by AnimationStateMachine)

// 3. Player presses Space while grounded
if (balanceSystem.isGrounded(currentState)) {
  const groundState = balanceSystem.getGroundState(currentState); // "prone"
  const recoveryType = determineRecoveryType(groundState); // "prone_standup"
  const animationState = getRecoveryAnimationState(recoveryType); // "recovery_prone_standup"
  
  animationMachine.transitionTo(animationState);
}

// 4. Recovery completes, auto-transition to idle
// (handled by AnimationStateMachine)
```

## ⚙️ Damage Calculation System (데미지 계산 시스템)

**Implementation Status**: Q1 2026 - Fully operational with multi-factor calculation

For an overview of the TypeScript implementation approach and damage formula reference, see the [Damage Calculation Guide](./docs/combat/damage-calculation-guide.md). Three worked examples are provided below.

### Quick Reference: Damage Formula

```
Final Damage = max(1, (Base * Archetype * Stance * Anatomy * Critical) * (1 - DefenseReduction))
```

**Multipliers**:
- **Archetype**: 0.9x-1.5x (specialization bonus)
- **Stance**: 0.8x-1.5x (I Ching synergy)
- **Anatomy**: 1.0x-2.0x (precision targeting)
- **Critical**: 1.0x or 2.0x (random with skill influence)
- **Defense Reduction**: 0-0.8x (max 80% reduction, based on defender defense stat / 200)

**Minimum Damage**: Always deals at least 1 HP damage

> **Implementation Note**: The canonical damage calculation including defense reduction logic and minimum damage floor is in `src/systems/vitalpoint/DamageCalculator.ts` (lines 172-177).

**Example**: Musa striking Baekhoehyeol (Crown) with Geon stance:
- Base: 45 HP
- Archetype: 1.2x (Musa vs Nervous)
- Stance: 1.2x (Geon vs Son)
- Anatomy: 1.5x (75% accuracy)
- Critical: 2.0x (successful roll)
- Raw: 45 × 1.2 × 1.2 × 1.5 × 2.0 = **194 HP**
- Defense Reduction: 0.21x (41 defense / 200 = 21% reduction)
- **Final: max(1, 194 × (1 - 0.21)) = 153 HP damage** + Stun (3s) + Disorientation (5s)

## 🦴 28-Bone Skeletal Animation System (28개 뼈 골격 애니메이션)

**Implementation Status**: Q1 2026 - Fully operational skeletal rig with 7 hand poses

Black Trigram uses a **28-bone hierarchical skeletal system** for realistic combat animations, hand pose articulation, and vital point strike visualization.

### Bone Hierarchy (뼈 계층 구조)

**Core Spine** (4 bones): Pelvis → Spine_Lower → Spine_Upper → Chest  
**Head & Neck** (2 bones): Neck → Head  
**Left Arm** (6 bones): Shoulder_L → Upper_Arm_L → Elbow_L → Forearm_L → Wrist_L → Hand_L  
**Right Arm** (6 bones): Shoulder_R → Upper_Arm_R → Elbow_R → Forearm_R → Wrist_R → Hand_R  
**Left Leg** (5 bones): Hip_L → Thigh_L → Knee_L → Shin_L → Ankle_L  
**Right Leg** (5 bones): Hip_R → Thigh_R → Knee_R → Shin_R → Ankle_R

**Total**: 28 bones for full-body animation at 60fps

### 7 Hand Pose System (7개 수형 체계)

Korean martial arts hand formations optimized for different vital point targets:

| # | Korean | Romanization | English | Use | Vital Points | Multiplier |
|---|--------|--------------|---------|-----|--------------|------------|

| 2 | 손바닥 | Sonbadak | Open Palm | Push, slap strikes | Face, chest, solar plexus | 1.1x |
| 3 | 타격 | Tagyeok | Knife-Hand | Precise strikes | Neck, throat, nerve points | 1.3x |
| 4 | 잡기 | Japgi | Grasping | Joint locks | Wrist, elbow, neck | 1.1x |
| 5 | 막기 | Makgi | Blocking | Defense | N/A (defensive) | 0.8x |
| 6 | 가리키기 | Garikigi | Pointing | Eye strikes | Eyes, throat, acupoints | 1.4x |
| 7 | 이완 | Ewan | Relaxed | Neutral | N/A (transition) | 1.0x |

### Combat Technique Animation

Each technique defines:
- **Bone Transforms**: Position/rotation/scale for all 28 bones across keyframes
- **Hand Poses**: Left and right hand formations at each keyframe
- **Muscle Tension**: Core/upper/lower body activation levels (0-100)
- **Impact Frame**: Exact frame where strike connects with vital point

**Example**: 천둥벽력 (Heaven Strike)
- Duration: 800ms (48 frames at 60fps)
- Impact Frame: 48
- Hand Pose: 주먹 (Closed Fist)
- Target: 백회혈 (Crown), 쇄골 (Clavicle), 대추 (C7)

## 💊 Status Effect System (상태 효과 시스템)

**Implementation Status**: Q1 2026 - 5 primary status effects operational

Status effects are applied based on vital point anatomical system and damage severity.

### Status Effects Table

| Effect | Korean | Duration | Application | Stack Limit | Visual Indicator | Gameplay Impact |
|--------|--------|----------|-------------|-------------|------------------|-----------------|
| **기절 (Stun)** | 기절 | 1-5s | Nervous system critical hits | None (refreshes) | ⚡ Lightning icon, wobble animation | Cannot act, vulnerable to followups |
| **출혈 (Bleed)** | 출혈 | 5-15s | Circulatory hits ≥45 damage | 3 stacks | 🩸 Blood particles, red pulse | 5 HP/sec per stack (15 HP/sec max at 3 stacks) |
| **피로 (Fatigue)** | 피로 | 10-30s | Stamina depletion, heavy hits | None (stacks additively) | 😓 Sweat particles, slow movement | -20% movement speed, +25% stamina cost |
| **마비 (Paralysis)** | 마비 | 3-10s | Nerve strikes, spine hits | None (refreshes) | ⚠️ Yellow icon, shaking limbs | Reduced attack speed (-40%), mobility loss |
| **혼란 (Disorientation)** | 혼란 | 3-8s | Head trauma, vestibular damage | None (refreshes) | 🌀 Dizzy icon, screen blur | Accuracy -50%, vision impaired, controls inverted |

### Stacking Rules

- **Stun**: Cannot stack, refreshes duration to longest value
- **Bleed**: Stacks up to 3x, each adds independent DoT (15 HP/sec max)
- **Fatigue**: Duration extends additively, effects compound
- **Paralysis**: Cannot stack, refreshes to longest duration
- **Disorientation**: Cannot stack, most severe effect takes priority

### Status Removal

**Natural Expiration**: All effects expire after duration  
**Cleansing**: Healing items/abilities can remove specific effects  
**Death**: All effects removed on knockout/death  
**Stance Change**: Some stances provide status resistance (-30% duration)

```

### Aggression Levels

**Aggressive (>70% HP)**:
- Prioritizes offense over defense
- Selects high-damage vital points (head, neck, chest)
- Uses power stances (Geon, Li, Jin)
- 80% attack frequency, 20% defense

**Balanced (30-70% HP)**:
- Evaluates stance matchups before committing
- Targets medium-risk vital points (limbs, torso)
- Adapts stance based on opponent
- 50% attack, 30% defense, 20% positioning

**Defensive (<30% HP)**:
- Prioritizes survival and creating distance
- Counter-attacks only with high success probability
- Uses defensive stances (Gam, Son, Gon)
- 20% attack, 60% defense, 20% evasion

### Vital Point Selection Logic

AI calculates **Threat Score** for each available vital point:

```
Threat Score = (Base Damage × Archetype Bonus × Stance Synergy) / (Distance × Difficulty)
```

**Factors**:
- **Base Damage**: Vital point's inherent damage value
- **Archetype Bonus**: AI's archetype effectiveness multiplier
- **Stance Synergy**: Current stance advantage vs target
- **Distance**: Range to target (penalties for distant targets)
- **Difficulty**: Anatomical precision requirement

AI selects highest Threat Score target that is within range and line-of-sight.

### Stance Adaptation

AI changes stance when:
1. **Disadvantage Detected**: Current stance has <0.9x multiplier vs opponent
2. **Health Threshold**: Drops below 30% HP (switches to defensive stance)
3. **Tactical Reset**: After being hit 3+ times consecutively
4. **Opportunity**: Opponent vulnerable during stance transition

**Stance Selection Priority**:
1. Counter opponent's current stance (I Ching advantage)
2. Match archetype specialization (Musa → Geon, Amsalja → Gam)
3. Adapt to combat situation (Aggressive/Defensive mode)

## ⚖️ Balance Considerations (밸런스 고려사항)

**Implementation Status**: Q1 2026 - Core balance established, ongoing tuning

### Design Philosophy

**Authentic vs. Fun**: 
- Authentic Korean martial arts principles (70% weight)
- Fun, competitive gameplay (30% weight)
- No vital point is "auto-win" - all have counterplay

**Rock-Paper-Scissors**:
- 8 Trigram stances have circular advantages (I Ching)
- 5 Archetypes have situational strengths
- No single dominant strategy

**Skill Expression**:
- High-skill players rewarded with precision targeting
- Low-skill players can compete with fundamentals
- Skill ceiling is very high (professional esports potential)

### Tuning Parameters

**Damage Scaling**:
- Base vital point damage: 16-60 HP
- Multipliers keep range reasonable (15-400 HP final)
- Average combat duration: 30-60 seconds
- 3-5 successful vital point hits = knockout

**Cooldowns**:
- Basic techniques: 0.8-1.5s cooldown
- Advanced techniques: 2-4s cooldown
- Ultimate techniques: 8-12s cooldown + resource cost

**Stamina Costs**:
- Light attacks: 10-15 stamina
- Medium attacks: 20-30 stamina
- Heavy attacks: 35-50 stamina
- Stamina regen: 25/sec (full bar = 200 stamina)
- Empty stamina = vulnerable state (3s recovery)

### Archetype Balance

**Target Win Rates** (1v1, equal skill):
- All archetypes: 48-52% win rate
- No archetype hard-counters another
- Matchup variance ≤8% difference

**Current Status**:
- Musa: 51% (slightly overtuned)
- Amsalja: 50% (balanced)
- Hacker: 47% (needs +3% damage buff)
- Jeongbo: 52% (slightly overtuned)
- Jojik: 50% (balanced)

### Vital Point Balance

**High-Damage Points Have Counterplay**:
- **백회혈 (Crown)** - 45 damage, but requires overhead position
- **인영 (Carotid)** - 50 damage, but small target (92% accuracy needed)
- **대퇴동맥 (Femoral)** - 60 damage, but low stance required, long recovery

**Accessibility**:
- 30% vital points: Easy to hit (torso, limbs)
- 50% vital points: Medium difficulty (joints, neck)
- 20% vital points: Hard to hit (eyes, acupoints)

### Playtesting Guidelines

**Balance Testing Protocol**:
1. **100-Match Samples**: Gather win rates over 100 1v1 matches per matchup
2. **Skill Brackets**: Test at Low/Medium/High/Pro skill levels
3. **Stance Distribution**: Ensure all 8 stances see >10% usage
4. **Vital Point Heat Maps**: Identify over-used or under-used targets
5. **Time-to-Kill Analysis**: Average combat duration 30-60s

**Red Flags**:
- ❌ Any archetype >55% or <45% win rate
- ❌ Any stance >60% or <5% usage rate
- ❌ Any vital point >30% of all hits
- ❌ Average TTK <20s or >90s
- ❌ "One-shot" combos dealing >200 damage

**Iteration Process**:
1. Identify imbalance through data
2. Propose tuning changes (±5% increments)
3. Test changes with focus group (20 players)
4. Deploy to public test realm (PTR)
5. Monitor for 2 weeks, gather feedback
6. Implement final changes in production

**State Transitions**:
```
IDLE → GRAPPLING (controlling opponent)
IDLE → GRAPPLED (being controlled)
GRAPPLING → IDLE (release or break)
GRAPPLED → IDLE (successful escape)
```

**Movement Penalties**:
- **GRAPPLING**: -80% movement speed (20% remaining)
- **GRAPPLED**: -100% movement speed (cannot move)

### Animation States (4 Total)

interface GrappleState {
  isGrappling: boolean;
  gripStrength: number; // 0-100%
  escapeAttempts: number;
  duration: number; // ms
}

// Grip decay calculation
const gripDecay = baseDecayRate * (1 + staminaPenalty) * stanceModifier;

// Escape success probability
const escapeChance = baseChance * (stamina / 100) * stanceBonus;
```

### Usage in Combat

The GrappleSystem is integrated into `CombatSystem.ts`:

## ⚡ Limb Exposure & Counter-Attack System (사지 노출 및 반격 체계)

**Status**: ✅ 100% Complete | **Implementation**: `src/systems/combat/LimbExposureSystem.ts` | **Tests**: 132 passing

### Overview

The Limb Exposure System implements Korean martial arts principles of **허점공격 (Heojeom Gonggyeok - attacking openings)** and **후수필승 (Husu Pilseung - victory through counter-timing)**. It detects when attackers expose vulnerable limbs during technique execution, creating counter-attack opportunities with damage multipliers.

### Core Concepts

**Vulnerability Windows**:
- **Wind-up Phase** (0-50% of execution): Low vulnerability (1.1x damage multiplier)
- **Peak Phase** (50-70% of execution): Maximum vulnerability (2.0x damage multiplier)
- **Recovery Phase** (70-100% of execution): Medium vulnerability (1.5x damage multiplier)
- **Window Duration**: 300-400ms typical exposure time

**Exposed Limb Types**: 12 total (left/right × 6 body parts)
- `right_arm`, `left_arm`, `right_elbow`, `left_elbow`, `right_wrist`, `left_wrist`
- `right_leg`, `left_leg`, `right_knee`, `left_knee`, `right_ankle`, `left_ankle`

**Breaking Techniques**:
- **Target Joints**: Ankle, knee, elbow, wrist
- **Severity Calculation**: Based on force (40-80 damage) → 0.0-1.0 severity
- **Status Effects**: Broken limbs receive injury status (BROKEN_ANKLE, BROKEN_KNEE, etc.)
- **Movement Impact**: Broken legs reduce movement speed, broken arms reduce attack damage

### AI Integration

**DecisionTree Integration** (`src/systems/ai/DecisionTree.ts`):
- **Priority Level 2**: Counter-attack evaluation (after survival, before standard attacks)
- **Archetype Priorities**:
  - **Musa (무사)**: Priority 10.5-11.1 (high defensiveness, honor through counters)
  - **Amsalja (암살자)**: Priority 10.5-11.1 (tactical exploitation of weakness)
  - **Jeongbo (정보요원)**: Priority 13.0 (intelligence operative, analytical counters)
  - **Jojik/Hacker**: Priority 9.6-10.8 (offensive-focused, lower counter priority)
- **Bonus Modifiers**:
  - Breaking opportunities: +2 priority
  - High vulnerability (>2.0x): +1 priority

**Counter Selection Logic**:
```typescript
// AI evaluates counter opportunities each decision frame
const opportunity = calculateCounterOpportunity(opponentTechnique, elapsedTime);

if (opportunity && opportunity.confidence > 0.7) {
  const priority = baseCounterPriority + (defensiveness * 1.5) + 
                   (opportunity.allowsBreaking ? 2 : 0) +
                   (opportunity.vulnerabilityMultiplier > 2.0 ? 1 : 0);
  
  if (priority >= decisionThreshold) {
    selectCounterTechnique(opportunity.exposedLimb);
  }
}
```

### Type Extensions

**PlayerState Extended**:
```typescript
interface PlayerState {
  // ... existing fields
  currentTechnique?: KoreanTechnique; // Technique being executed
  techniqueElapsedTime?: number; // Time elapsed in technique (ms)
}
```

**CombatContext Extended**:
```typescript
interface CombatContext {
  // ... existing fields
  opponentTechnique?: KoreanTechnique;
  opponentTechniqueTime?: number;
  counterOpportunity?: CounterOpportunity;
  opponentVulnerability: number; // 1.0-2.5x multiplier
}
```

### Implementation Example

```typescript
// Detect limb exposure during attack
const opportunity = calculateCounterOpportunity(
  opponentTechnique,
  elapsedTime // 450ms into 800ms technique
);

if (opportunity) {
  console.log(opportunity);
  // {
  //   exposedLimb: "right_leg",
  //   vulnerabilityMultiplier: 2.0,
  //   allowsBreaking: true,
  //   recommendedCounters: ["ankle_stomp", "knee_kick"],
  //   remainingWindow: 350, // ms
  //   confidence: 0.85
  // }
}
```

### Korean Martial Arts Philosophy

The system embodies traditional principles:
- **허점공격** (Heojeom Gonggyeok): Attacking openings/weaknesses
- **후수필승** (Husu Pilseung): Victory through counter-attack timing
- **이순응변** (Isun Eungbyeon): Adapt and exploit opponent's mistakes
- **파쇄기** (Paswaegi): Breaking techniques for overextended attacks
