Also, getting hit for more than a hundred in the time it takes to do one round is pretty asinine

It especially would seem cruel to charge to skip players with very low points - obviously most players skip these matches not because they're looking for an easy fight, but because they don't want to get hammered by a nasty retaliation from players with much lower points.

Misguided wrote: What I was thinking was something along the lines of an increasing reward, that went up each time (possibly until some max) until you skipped, at which point it would reset. To me, that becomes a strategic choice if the reward is good enough. If I get a tough match I have to decide is it worth gutting out this fight in order to keep my iso bonus? That's the sort of thing I had in mind.
