Let us try and calculate every possible starter move for Uke excluding grips.

That would make it 4^20 (1,099,511,627,776) possible combinations. 4^20 which also happens to be a terrabyte commonly abbreviated TB.

On a fairly decent computer we can calculate this first starter in one second (the ghost in 1 second or around 100 fps without fixed frame rate turned off).

So to calculate all possible starter moves for Uke without gripping it would take aproximately 34842 years.

is my calculation accurate?
well hampa considering you made a physics game with infinite possiblilties and friction and gravity this kinda math is normal for you, so i think that those calcs are correct

ok, scary.
is it just a complete coincidence... the whole 4^20 terrabyte TB thing?
Quite Right

I got 34865 and change.
With grip, I get 139461.

<Ownzilas> Alright
<Ownzilas> 3'2 then
<Ownzilas> Half PID's dick.

Things that subtract from the total number of moves:

DM
Fracture
Probability that a person uses each such combination
Probability that a person responds each way to such combinations

e.g. Relax all but hold chest = 1 combination? No, it's 1*Probability(the combination). So that move actually probably counts as...0.005 of a move.

Is that included leap years?
There are about 4.4 trillion possible joint states per player per turn, but a much smaller number are feasibly effective in general, and fewer still are effective in a given context.

That considered, you still have a ton of good options most of the time.
Radioactive torso's description should be, "You have cancer like wow."
True, just imagine the matches when you will hold one joint after another then suddenly relax again and hold something else again.
Oblivion: that wasn't hilarious
Oblivion: it was brilliantly complex though
Oblivion: hands down man
Oblivion: today I genuinely believe more than I ever did before
Oblivion: that you are better than me

I find that just holding and relaxing specific joints is amazingly effective at times, but usually only when your opponent's attack has a lot of power and momentum behind it that you can turn to your advantage.

I HATE MATH. Or anything having to do with anything with numbers that I have to figure out.
