6/10, try make a DM in every hit(exept when grabbing uke or pulling him closer)
more fluidish,more DMs and faster DMs, and read what the link shows you
Oh goodie, my turn.
1: Limp style > Hold Style. Hold is n00bish. Very n00bish.
2: AND? Does the frame count even matter? Long madmen are IMO better.
3: Everyone does it with 100, pretty much everyone. I mean, not counting the people who do it with a higher DM threshold.
4: This is pretty bad for the "Best Madman Yet". I give it a 5/10.
I'm not getting what's wrong with hold style. It's incredibly useful sometimes for pulling off moves, and actually looks better than a lot of limpstyle, which can look (bleep)ing retarded a lot of the time, to be honest.
That dosent mean you should hold *everything*, and not relax at all. But most "limpstyle" players usually just force all of the joints anyway, and leave things like the neck relaxed, since they don't use it, which looks crap.
