So does that mean we haven't killed anyone ever?

Because I don't think that's quite appropriate. Not that Pierce would mind, but I'm pretty sure Impact and Charlotte and maybe Matthias would've killed their KOs so far.

Because, see, if you can't bring someone close to death by reducing them to zero HP then you certainly haven't killed them. Unless you're suggesting that "zero HP =/= near-death" only applies to us good guys, which is ridiculous. It's simply not plausible that we can get by only seriously wounded but otherwise very much alive while leaving only the bloodied, burned and beaten corpses of our enemies? These people are supposed to be trying their damnedest to kill us, even moreso than we are them.

So for everyone, zero HP should mean either dead or really close to it.

No, you!!!

Yeah, I can't really let this go without getting in the last word.

And how should we treat being at zero HP? Utter unconciousness? Or can our characters at least still talk, move slightly, edge-of-conciousness kind of thing?

See, you're making that last part sound like a request, rather than a question. Meaning AB will be inclined to put it the way you want it to be.

Ssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
