2K19 Squash Matches Ported to 2K26

This is a direct port and rebalancing of the 2K19 mechanic, complete with frequency slider in the gameplay settings.

The squash match mechanic works by looking at the difference in weight class, strength stat and the difference in OVR between competitors. If the difference is large enough to trigger a squash match, the stronger opponent will gain a damage reduction buff and greatly increased signature and finisher generation. The weaker opponent will receive a damage increase debuff and reversal window debuff. If the stronger opponent executes their finisher within this squash period (approx 60 seconds), the weaker opponent gets increased pin kick out difficulty.

If the weaker opponent knocks the stronger opponent down before they can gain the advantage, the squash is foiled and the match continues as normal.

The maths behind the RNG has been fine tuned so that squash matches can trigger in a variety of different scenarios provided either the weight class difference or OVR difference is large enough. Particularly effective for those using Hype/DC stats.
