Walking Challenge
Walking Challenge
I've been trying to walk all day. I set the mode so I had room in order to try and walk to Uke. After much trial and error, I learned how to walk a distance, but never got to Uke. With that said, I'd like someone to teach me, and I've decided that holding an event with a prize would be the best way to get some good results and challenge the creativity of those on the forum.
I've attached a few replays showing my own attempts at completing the challenge. Perhaps they will help someone come up with a solution.
THE MODE
- Sambo.tbm
- 500 Matchframes.
- 500 Engage Distance.
- You may use shift+space (1-frame ahead).
THE GOAL
- Walk your Tori to Uke.
- Touch Uke with any part of your body.
- You may not touch the ground with anything but your feet.
- You may only use the following joints (everything else must be RELAXED):
- Pecs (Right/Left)
- Chest
- Lumbar
- Abs
- Gutes (Right/Left)
- Hips (Right/Left)
THE SCORING
- ---Base Points:---
- Fluidity: 5 - Is the walk graceful?
- Speed: 5 - Is the walk fast?
- Gravity: 10 - Does the walk keep your feet on the ground?
- Maximum Points: 20
---Extra Points:--- - Stopping: 2 - If your Tori remains standing on both feet until the 500th frame, you've earned 2 extra points.
- Dismember Uke: 4 - If you dismember any part of Uke before the 500th frame, you've earned 4 extra points. Remember the joint restriction rules apply. You may not grab.
- Maximum Extra Points: 6
THE PRIZES
Forenote: As of right now, I only have 4k TC. I should soon have more, and therefore these prizes are based off of what I hopefully should have. If not, I will attempt to compensate the winners with items with market value equal to the prize.FIRST PLACE: 10k TC +
SECOND PLACE: 5k TC
THIRD PLACE: 2k TC
SUBMISSIONS
- Submit replays using the forum uploader and replying to this topic.
- No limit to amount of submissions. Create as many unique replays as you want. However, you must choose only 2 that you want to have judged.
- All submissions will be judged by me and only me. This is a one-man project.

Note: Please let me know if I'm missing anything. This is the first event I've held and I'm not sure if I'm missing something.

Entry 1
Fluidity: 2/5 - The walk seems very off-balance and in a struggle to maintain balance.
Speed: 1.5/5 - Impact point around frame 100. This is quite slow.
Gravity: 3.5/10 - The walk is constantly struggling to maintain balance, and it seems like pure luck that the Tori was able to get to Uke.
Total Points: 7/20 - Below Average.
Entry 2 2ND PLACE!
Fluidity: 4.5/5 - The walk was fairly well balanced and seemed a bit more like a run. However, it maintained balance well and seemed very controlled.
Speed: 5/5 - Impact point around frame 280. This is extremely fast.
Gravity: 8/10 - The walk was very well controlled, with the only problem being the balancing on toes. Seemed like a ballet dance, but a good one.
Total Points: 17.5/20 - Very Good.
Squiziph
Entry 1
Fluidity: 1/5 - The walk is a bunch of small jumps, making it very non-fluid.
Speed: 4.5/5 - Impact point around frame 250. This is very fast.
Gravity: 5/10 - Though the balance was well done, the small jumps made the feet leave the ground far too commonly.
Stopping: 2 - You were able to remain standing at the end of the replay, effectively earning 2 extra points.
Total Points: 12.5/22 - Average.
Entry 2
Fluidity: 2.5/5 - It was fine during the beginning half, but when the foot goes up and stops, it starts getting more of a struggle to reach Uke than a walk towards victory.
Speed: 3/5 - Impact point around frame 210. This is slightly faster than average.
Gravity: 3/10 - The ending foot lift and the jump towards Uke completely killed the gravitational balance in the walk.
Stopping: 2 - You were able to remain standing at the end of the replay, effectively earning 2 extra points.
Dismember Uke: 4 - You were able to dismember Uke, effectively earning 4 extra points.
Total Points: 14.5/26 - Above Average.
Veliar
Entry 1 1ST PLACE!
Fluidity: 4/5 - It seemed a bit off balance at points, but the actual walk looked very realistic, which amazed me.
Speed: 2.5/5 - Impact point around frame 200. This is about average.
Gravity: 7.5/10 - Very good control over the gravity for the first 2/3 of the walk. After that, it's a struggle to attack Uke. However, during the walk itself, it was quite well controlled.
Dismember Uke: 4 - You were able to dismember Uke, effectively earning 4 extra points.
Total Points: 18/24 - Very Good.
As I mentioned in the first post, it was possible that I didn't actually have all the TC to be rewarded. I'll be contacting the winners through private message to see what I can do to compensate them accordingly. This was caused by my main buyer closing his shop off to anything but forces/relaxes a day after this competition was created. I apologize for the inconvenience.
It has been 2 days now and I have yet to receive my prize.
