Special thanks to Gr3yh47 for that amazing mod. <3
Anywho, Bink brought a whole new out look and play style to the game which has became very popular through his contribution with its development.
Comparing someones Aikido play style (which most have regardless) to someone who basically developed something completely new and unheard of (and mastered it) is not even a close comparison in my opinion.
grey is a very sweet lad and i love leilak forever <3
(on a notion of named mods, greykido is really bad design, terribly clunky, and to be fair of all named spin-off mods, only stabberz's stabjutsu is a shining example of a truly great mod design, probably the most enjoyable wushu/lenshu/rk/ninjutsu out there, i'm dead serious it's that good)
but in any case there is some bias going on here:
replay makers / sparrers live in one world, straight mp players live in the other one
while folks who showcase mad showmanship skills in multiplayer in competitive environment against regular players are overlooked, as multiplayer replays board is a microcosm of "sparring only" and things that aren't sparring aren't understood
Aquita/Footlox is outstanding because he not only developed "a style" but a reliable reproduce-able way of bringing real mma/judo techniques in a form feasible for regular competitive toribash environment,
and comparing to team sambo who were just great players, (which is great btw)
he and ta were researching, documenting, compiling tutorials and teaching people to use these techniques, which we all can probably agree is a bit different thing that a "kool kids club", even though those kids are cool indeed
in short, there is a difference between:
a) having a cool playstyle
b) having a cool playstyle, researching ways of bringing more cool real techniques in multiplayer and actively teaching and promoting it
yeah it's sorta limited scope, as again mp replays board is de-facto boring sparring only board, and not 08-09 players we played together of times we have rose glasses memories to the point that we consider most of folks of that era to be outstanding, while overrlooking truly hard-working dedicated folks who are doing great stuff now / 2-3 years ago (new-school?)
so even though you haven't played with them, Footlox and Iver gameplay is featured regulary on ConCon channel, and that stuff is truly impressive, i can't do quarter of shit Footlox is pulling off, and he is doing that in regular abd ffs! not in specialized mods that are tailored for it
