Firstly, you CAN defend a snapkick. You can do what I call a sparta kick, and when you see a snap you can delay it and bounce it of with your knee. You can also counter with another snap, but you gotta know how to target your kick, which sadly most people can't do. You can also sticky grab them. Sticky hands are actually quite overpowered and unrealistic, but nobody has a problem with those, huh.
Secondly, reaching out with your straight arm or doing noobclaps or bending over like a homosexual are overly promoted moves. In real life THEY WOULDN'T WORK at all, and would make you end up in a situation just like in Toribash: unable to defend against a kick or slap to the face. I believe that the so called "elites" of Toribash are promoting idiotic fighting styles, just because they can't handle every single straightforward technique. I think these kids need to actually go to a kickboxing club so that they can call people using muay thai kicks snapkickers, or to a wrestling club where they will get picked up above the ground by guys who go to a gym on regular basis and slammed to the floor, so that they can call them lifters. I don't think anybody will care, though.
Thirdly: this is Toribash. We got moon gravity; light models; overly sensitive joints. It's difficult to freely maneuver, walk, and you can get randomly dq'ed every now and then. I think you should blame the programmers for lack of updates, not people who do not wish to fight in some abstract manner.
Last point: if you got a problem with snaps and want some balanced close quarter combat, I recommend kickbox. I achieved rank 6 or 7 in this mod in just a few days so there must be something more than snapkicks to me, I think.
I like the way you defend most of your points with the "realism" factor. WHO SAID THIS GAME WAS SUPPOSED TO BE REALISTIC, LET ALONE THE MODS TK AND KB. As for no problem with hands, I don't know anyone who doesn't complain about them breaking off constantly especially when sticky. Unlike kicks they have a higher tendency to break off during grabs and such, often ruining a game or losing it for the person grabbing (even when they're attempting to grab to dismember someone this may, and does, occur.
Your second comment about noobclaps etc correlates with realism again which is not the point of the mods, who told you this nonsense? Nobody cares about some fucking kickboxing club you probably go to with all your real life pro skills, in this game it's considered cheap, it is not real life please try to understand this. Besides, I doubt real kicks break people in half...
Your third point completely contradicts your realism approach to your argument by stating the fact that toribash has
UNREALISTIC gravity. Aside from that fact, blaming programmers for making a game about beads dismembering each other unrealistic is beyond stupid, I don't even know what to say in reply to that. It's, in fact, completely irrelevant to say that stupid comment anyway, considering the fact these are certain game modes (or mods whatever) available in the game, not the entire game itself. These mods in particular are for dismembering each other in an unrealistic manner (the toribash manner, if you will), the names are just given because they're actual types of fighting styles or sports (much like aikido, wushu and judo. None of those mods reflect any kind of resemblance to the actual real life versions.)
Finally your last point.
Kickboxing actually has worse snap kicks in my opinion lol. The fact that you got rank 6 or 7 in a few days doesn't mean much in the matter, you just didn't face people using the techniques mentioned.
Aside from my fairly one sided post here I don't agree with complaining about playing styles. You should just get over it and try to counter the moves, once you do that the game becomes a lot more fun, the cheap tactics become a challenge and even fun at times to play against.
On the other hand of this though that doesn't make the people using the tactics any less pathetic than the moves themselves, once you get past the noobie servers and go in to big boy territory, it's time to take off your training wheels and fight like a man. Don't use those silly moves you did when you were still in your tori-diapers!
