Personally what I liked in this game is that its like real life, eveything makes sense. I think adding this would be a dissapointment for persons like me. Maybe add this in specific mods only like mmorpg mods and stuff.

Toribash is a game based on the individual players SKILL, not abilities that give an unfair advantage.

This suggestion is for those who can't be bothered to learn how to play the game well and need a crutch so they don't lose all the time.


~Not Supported

The reason i liked toribash is because it takes skill in the end of almost every match. Regardless of belt, every player has equal opportunity and in the end it only matters whose behind the keyboard. I don't see a reason to ever use perks. Tourneys, betting matches, public matches...etc. It never seems right to have some advantage over someone else.

The main premise behind this suggestion was that you have access to these perks once you reach around 5th dan (5000 matches I think) so at that point you would have played the game long enough to have a decent understanding of Toribash. You might not necessarily be good, but you certainly would have learned quite a bit playing all those matches.

EDIT: It seems I never made this part too clear. Only people with perks would be able to fight in perk enabled rooms.

i think this can be fun, but maybe it should be room or mod related rather than to belt.
i dont see how using those perks dont require skill (as in beeing smarter than oponent on when to use them and why)

If this was to be implemented, it should be accessed only through mods.

For all around use then no, it gives far to much of an unfair advantage to those without these so called 'abilities'

This suggestion only suits players who have been here a long time, not those who are new.

You can't just expect new players to fight a higher belt with these perks and win.

If a suggestion has to do with gameplay mechanics it has to be all around for everyone so it doesn't give an unfair advantage.

Plus as I mentioned, toribash is a game based on skill and technique, not stupid abilities that would effectively turn toribash into something it's not.



~Still not supported because it's unfair and pointless.

This would be a fun feature for private and user created rooms only but otherwise it obviosly wouldn't work for public rooms in terms of the unfair advantage and so on
Not supported unless it could be an option for op's in private servers to activate

Seriously, read the OP 5 more times. He's proposing an entirely different idea than what you just summed up. Twice.

"Seriously" read my point, I said if it was enabled EVERYWHERE, in EVERY room.

I said if it was added within mods that would be cool.

I said if it was in every room for everyone, it would give an unfair advantage.

Don't patronize me please, ty.

Cool features don't matter if it can't answer the simple question of "what's the point?"

Cool new features upon reaching a certain belt? Why would it have to be upon reaching a belt for one thing, why can't you just have "perks" enabled on a server where everybody has access to it? Why does it have to be an experience-based unlock?

Why would somebody at a higher skill level even need a perk? Most people upon playing long enough don't need assistance from a "perk". A person who's been playing for a long time should be perfectly capable of getting the benefits that a "perk" supplies all by themselves. Most people know how to prevent dismemberment from happening, travelling is a skill most wushu players are more than capable of doing, and invisibility is practically pointless because most gamemodes don't give enough time in between frames to justify it, and the ones that do are already hard to predict because of the fact that there are large gaps in between turns.

And why would this somehow stop a kicklifter or a runner? Everything one person can use to try to counter that strategy can be used by the person in question to make it even harder to stop them. A kicklifter or even a shoveller who uses a slight push forward "perk" instantly becomes harder to deal with because now they have increased momentum on their side. Slight push forward would also allow people who run to get farther away faster. It creates no counter-play and exasperates the problem further.


And finally, why not just play a mod? That's kinda the point of them, to create a new environment to play in that's enjoyable. I don't see why you would need to create an entirely new system that a mod can meet more than adequately.
