Lemme just do a little math here to show how powerful a fixed damage Super Fang is.
Let's assume the target has 5 base HP, 3 Vit, and is typeless. Let's also assume the attacker has 5 Str.
Super Fang as is does 4 Damage on the first use. To match that damage on average, you need a damage roll of 8 after Defense is applied.
8 + 3 Def - 5 Str = the move has to have at least 6 Power, buffs from items included. I have to effectively use a STAB Fire Blast to match Super Fang's power against a 3 Vit target.
It's hard to get to total damage rolls with that many dice in them, and Super Fang currently outclasses all but the most ridiculously powerful attacks from a max Strength character. Only on the first use, but no other move in the game can guarantee your opponent is inflicted with -2 Pain in one move, which is dang strong regardless of how bulky the target is.
