Damage dampening

It is important that a character starts causing less damage as his combos get longer, for the sake of needing to catch the opponent more than once to win.  There are many ways to do this, but for the purpose of this thread I find it appropriate to use a simple effective code as an example:

Code (Mugen): [Select]
[State -2, Damage Dampener]; Scaling in action
type= attackmulset
trigger1= numenemy
value= ifelse(enemynear, gethitvar(hitcount) < 3, 24, ifelse(enemynear, gethitvar(hitcount) >= 24, 2, 26 - enemynear, gethitvar(hitcount))) / 24.0
ignorehitpause= 1
 
[State -2, Damage Dampener]; Full damage
type= attackmulset
trigger1= numenemy
trigger1= enemynear,movetype!=H || (enemynear,stateno=[120,155])
value= 1.0
ignorehitpause= 1
 
Notice how the attack multiplier depends on the number of hits P2 has received.  Or this version based on Marvel vs Capcom's system (if I didn't mess up, was made a long time ago) which at this point is reposted in some places but is worth noting:

Code (Mugen): [Select]
[State -2, Damage Dampener]; Scaling in action
type= attackmulset
trigger1= numenemy
value= ifelse(enemynear, gethitvar(hitcount) = 0, 1, ifelse(enemynear, gethitvar(hitcount) = 1, 0.9, 0.8**enemynear, gethitvar(hitcount)))
ignorehitpause= 1
 
[State -2, Damage Dampener]; Full damage
type= attackmulset
trigger1= numenemy
trigger1= enemynear,movetype!=H || (enemynear,stateno=[120,155])
value= 1.0
ignorehitpause= 1
