Toribash
Here is a decap..(yes, i know its on uke so it doesnt really show skill) but i also included a replay that shows me improvising when im about to lose and still win barely. I thought it looked cool. I am also pretty new to this game and I know im not the best. Although i'm not the best I think i do have potential after training. If i do make it in, i would appreciate being in the eternity sub-division, but im ok with anything.

Thanks.

I highly disagree with the emboldened statement. SP is one of the key features in Toribash. It is actually regarded more highly in skill than MP. The reason for this is MP's unpredictability. It is hard to know what your opponent is doing, so it is really just a guessing game. Take Wushu, for example. Both opponents start their own openers at the exact same time, so it is impossible for you to anticipate/counter their moves (unless of course they're noobs that use the same opener, like me ).
Now look at SP. You have to control 20 different joints in exactly the right way to produce the move you want. You have to take into account accuracy in hitting the joints, the angles at which you hit them, and the force you are exerting. Also, since relaxed joints are harder to break, after you dm once, Uke's body goes all relaxed, making it harder to break him. After all that, you have to fine tune the replay so that it looks realistic and smooth.
Let's compare both MP and SP now. MP is a largely luck-based, unrealistic feature. SP is a complex, single frame adjusting challenge, where you actually have to follow rules of physics (I'm thinking of you, Wushu). Now do you see where I'm coming from?
As a final note, how do you think NutHug, Mosier, Nightin, Nirs, Chezda, Melmoth, etc. became famous? I can tell it wasn't because they were good at MP (NutHug was actually known to be a terrible MP player). They all became famous because they spent hours upon hours perfecting eye-dazzling replays that made your jaw drop.
Eh, sorry about the long reply, that statement really set me off because I am an avid SP player.
"I never learned the last half of the alphabet. I got frustrated that "m" and "n" were the exact same thing."
I never really thought about it that way...WOW...now that you told me this I totally agree with you. I was just so used to uploading that replay on my applications and having them respond with "That decap was so easy!!! It was on uke!". After hearing it I began to believe it.
And, of course, a new replay. This took me under 30 min., hence the name.

Lol, Shamshank, the world is so misleading. BTW, where you are at, compared to where I was at with the same experience, is vastly different. With some practice, you could be outstanding. I could barely stand when I began, let alone break something!

the more replays you do the more you know how your tori moves, making you better at the game it self. Its the perfect practice

Yeah, Metal, that was the perfect explanation capable in one sentence.

Eh, variation of Rush, probably my best so far (even surpassing seismic reaction). I call it.... Vector. Please comment, rate, and all that other good stuff.

Wait, Desiderius, your leaving because of a typo?
