@Double I mean, I could see debuffs as being an applied negative integer to the opponent's stats in direct proportion to how the buff works, taking the stat and multiplying a negative 2.5, 2, and 1.5 to get a number, then subtracting from the opponent's affected stat to get the true number. (This, at least, would be a good trial starter unless those negative seem too large.)

@Balthazar007 What? He doesn't know. He saw Niko lose to the current champion.
@Double Couldn't hurt.
@Balthazar007 @Double
Since the layout of the situation involving the Martian Mining Corporation is - for now - dependent upon cues from Niko's profile, then we have to take in the appropriate factors. Niko is now 20, and he lost his parents a few years ago, when he was in high school. They were part of the Resource And Management Incorporated vessel bound for Mars to begin mining operations. That means that MMC has been on the planet for a few years, and although RAMI was delayed by the explosion, it's safe to say that they eventually made it to Mars, as well.
What happens on Mars depends on how things played out from then 'till now. My guess is that it's been MMC having the larger site, more going on, with RAMI playing catch-up, and no current life on Mars...but as they start to make it more livable or due to excavations or very many different things happening there, that's when things start to go wrong.
My thinking is that Wu Han could definitely have been asked to take out Niko, and that somebody else might've been hired to attack his brother (but we'll leave how that plays out for later). This could lead to Niko wanting to go ahead with his covert mission, and even asking for some help among new friends (if they were up for it), but then somewhere along the lines of this action - perhaps before they can be caught or contained by the MMC on Earth - someone secret agent-y whisks them away to somewhere private to inform them of a classified event on Mars.
You see, we don't wanna leave Earth too quickly, but it does seem like it might happen. Whatever happened on Mars could still be on Mars, or there could be a situation of MMC exploiting something they found for bio-research, or whatever.

@Balthazar007 Nothing immediately in mind, as I was making a Doom reference. If you want me to give it more thought, I'm sure I can think of something, though.
Hired for a job? Interesting. As you know, Niko is planning to hit the MMC somehow to get information. For the purposes of discussion, consider them fairly extensive like Doom's UAC, with private security forces, but no monsters as of yet. Up to our man Bal if Mars is a source of hostile creatures, either living currently or exploitable from the past in secret.
An incredible fight...!
Niko stood watching, his arms crossed as he waited for it to start, always studying form and fighting style with his eyes. He was, as a sniper, quite good at following targets to make sure that he could predict their movements and take them down in the line of duty. Honestly, he wished it were him that was up there, right now, but he admired the girl's spirit. Angela had as much a reason to win as he did, it seemed. Maybe he'd get to hear it some time. Maybe he'd get to even hear why Bakuto came to this tournament himself. Who knows? Niko found that he rather liked these poeple. They were a real breath of fresh air.
Anyway, the final battle started, and Bakuto was taking no chances with Angela at all! 'He must've been just as impressed by our battles as I was of him.' When they all had their decisive victories - Lee over Michael, Bakuto over Lee, himself over Rica, and Angela over him - these were clear indicators of how the battles were playing out, showing some real skill. Angela must've managed to read him well, and it was small wonder, because apparently the prize-fighter girl was exceptional at taking his and delivering back. She was hit, but bouncing back, and she showed a technique to keep her defenses as strong as stone in the face of Bakuto, though he'd hurt her with his swift techniques.
They were pulling out all the stops, and Niko really saw why his speed counted for nothing. Angela was a monolith, unmovable. It was intense! She took hit after hit, and Bakuto - though physically healthy - was wearing down. Impressive! 'If she'd joined the army, I think Athena would like her too.' Not that she would. As the fighting continued, Niko joined in the chant, himself. He wanted Angela to win. She put her heart and soul into this. Either one of them had what it took to become champion, but he was pretty sure that she could pull it off. After the fight with him? Oh yeah!
And then...she did it!
Bakuto was preparing to throw another punch, when...he suddenly fell back, having lost his balance! He couldn't move, or was too weak to do so. The man seemed to struggle to do so for a second, but conceded that he was patently unable to. He was being a good sport about it, which Niko felt was at least proper enough. Much the same way he didn't have any regret for his own fight for not holding back, Bakuto was prepared to acknowledge officially that he'd lost, and this honestly surprised Angela. The audience cheered, Niko along with them, and here the two drained fighters appeared to be talking. Niko smirked and leapt over some of the audience to the nearby tournament staff, before holding out his hand.
"Gentlemen, if I may."
A second later, Senzu Beans in hand, Niko soon joined the three and gave them both the beans. Bakuto kind of needed a direct deposit, which was not a problem. He gave Angela a friendly smile now.
"I'm not a career fighter, like you are, but I could definitely get to like this. I'll be challenging you again, though I'm obviously gonna have to learn to duck."

@Double Considerably less magical than he'd like, possibly more then he expected?
@Balthazar007 Yes, with Niko not having won anything, but actually gained an understanding that he could accomplish a great deal with his skills, that's one possible aim for him.
