A Newtype Pressure item is supposed to damgage and down oppenents nearby, right? When my friend battled me, he used Newtype Pressure on me, but it didn't damgage me, though it still downed. How is the damage calculated? 119.246.123.73 09:46, October 4, 2010 (UTC)

Newtype pressure damage is affected by your special stat increased with overcustom points, meaning the more overcustom points you invest into special, the more damage it does, otherwise its damage is very minimal. There are a few things to consider when using Newtype Pressure. 1. as i stated above, its damage can be increased with overcustom special points 2. like normal attacks, it has hit, smash, and critical 3. when it hits more than one enemy, all hits are equal to the hit on the nearest foe(meaning, if the foe closest to you was crit'ed with newtype pressure, an enemy farther that that foe hit at the same time will also be crit'ed even though he is facing you front)(although there are times when it isnt like this...i think 3 is a glitch) 4. skill parts affect the pressure damage(special attack up - large damage increase, latent potential - max smash, art of fighting: ms - small damage increase) 5. the down effect doesnt work on units with veteran infighter activated 6. there are times when only the explosion effect shows and it does nothing - even though it says it hit(most likely another glitch) 7. its damage isnt affected by type weakness/resistance
