I started playing when i was 11 and this game was my gateway into irl tricking and parkour, which is now my job. I am the manager of my very own parkour gym and i’m currently hosting a big ass parkour competition with many well known international athletes. It’s all thanks to this dumbass game and my naïve dedication to never work at a place that i don’t enjoy. Thinking back, i owe a lot to this game. It pretty much defined my whole personality in a way. Too bad half the community consists of stuck up elitists making the game kind of bland in terms of creativity as of late.

it was about 10 years ago that i first saw this game on youtube. i think.

as to who i watched first, i have no idea - but the names i'm certain of are ZeRoyalViking, ChilledChaos, and of course Markiplier. those were some of the few who popularized one of the younger generations of toribash, and i was one of the people who saw it. i'm not sure what kept me so hooked on it after all this time. the complex movement system, the stylized martial arts, or the golden age of silly mods that nobody ever plays anymore. all i know is that this game reinforced itself into my childhood, and i'm pretty happy it was.

slowly, the game developed a lot of things that i love to this day; unique customization, creative and strategic gameplay, and the power to share the experiences with a greater, like-minded community. now all we've got is duelers. where'd that time go?
though my activity continues to be sparse, i still love this game with all my heart. i've made my own character who i want to represent outside of the game (if anyone can rig models, please help me). i've become a creator to provide more fun cosmetic items to the game - my first experience with active game contribution. i've participated in some recent events and had a fun time doing them, even if there was practically nobody else there. i still love the flips, the kicks, the mayhem, the violence.

i just wish people weren't so hard-headed about things now, because even though TBN is supposed to be the "grand new thing" coming up, i still believe there's so much to be made with regular ol' toribash.
we just haven't found out what yet.

I love to see how many people from this community discovered interests that even sometimes turned into jobs from it, at its peak toribash was just a crazy hub of creativity

It's good to see you still alive man. You one of those people i never regret meeting in this community.

my cousin introduced me to this game, 2008. Never felt a community this - words i don't have to describe anywhere else, loved it since.

Toribash is more than a game for me, it's a part of my development story. I joined when i was 12 years old too, I'm 23 years old now.


Toribash for me today is like a secret social club. I have some cool and rare stuff in my inventory, my Tori looks really good. I'm looking forward for Toribash next and to war again.

In Toribash, I consider myself to be a kind of Tiberius Gracchus/Martin Luther King hybrid character. Power to the people, death to staff.

I don’t remember quite frankly how I came across this game but when I was younger I do recall watching chilledchaos and other YouTubers playing the game and I was encouraged to continue playing because it looked fun, also I cannot believe it’s our hero ELEGOD

I remember I came around toribash in 2011 (looked up endorphin videos and this came up), but the curve was too much to handle and I left it alone for close to a year. I came back in 2012 and somehow sticked around, I guess spiritwrestling and ninjutsu were fun enough to spend more than a few hours playing. I've been on and off with this game, usually playing it around summer just to leave it alone as the school year has started. I honestly didn't really partake much in the community until 2014, when I would meet people that made me want to get involved. I did have an episode before that with a person named Accused and Fallu but both came out to be awful people... but anyways! 2015 I started duelling as boxshu mushu v2 was at its peak and I somehow got a respectable opinion (mainly because of the fact that Dragon and Swaves liked me and enjoyed playing with me). I would quit the game a few times, basically because I never really found a place to stay, the closest thing to that was Inquisition, got invited by Matharu. Either way, as [i] died so did I disappear.

Oh yeah, 2020 came around and I remembered I had this cool alt named melrose which I would use a bit here and there. It was the first lockdown and I didn't have much more to do... so like any sane person (xd) I came back to toribash. Duelled a lot, did some marketing that lead to my 3d item collector stardom. Somehow around that time I applied to ES thanks to Kyou (Fred) and Goughy, they talked me into it and I got in touch with more ES peeps (shoutout Karen/Elmindreda). Sooooo yeah, spent half of my life on toribash. Not really, but kinda did.

I should seriously write out my whole story because there are so many insane moments

oh yeah, and my old acc was called fastmove
