Toribash
Original Post
Does anyone actually apply martial arts/martial arts theory to toribash?

I had a look about on the discussion and couldn't find anything like this that's recent so what I want to ask is; Does anyone here practice a martial art, anything form karate to seven star praying mantis, and do you use that knowledge in Toribash?

I don't want to turn this into a style bashing thread this isn't Bullshido, and yes I practice a style and tell you if you really want, but to be fair I really cant apply to Toribash in anyway.

So any actual Judo or Akido people out there that find there style is useless in game, if not how do you use it? xD

Hahahaha that pretty much sums it up then really, this was my sub-verse way to search for martial artist >_> but still you do exactly what I do in toribash grab something and wrestle with it and kick and punch and go down screaming xD

Still I still wanna know if anyone does, since it would be a pretty cool thing, we'll see if anyone else can shed some light on this!

Well that was helpful, but as its proving it seems not a lot of people here practice then, no one trying to be ninja and saying tai sabaki yet or someone giving some akido terms. More shocking yet no jujitsu or muay thai people cropping up yet or MMA'ers.

Probably was hoping to hard that there would be more martial artist here, still nice to see some people use Akido tactics!
No need, it would make me a terrible, terrible player.

QFT. The way the Toribash physics engine works just wouldn't support real-life martial arts techniques. You'd just fall over :L
Quit, probably.

I have tried and your mostly right, though some leg sweeps and grabs seem to hold some weight not the best tactics in the world but they work a little bit, I personally fail. I play akido and to fair I suck hard and I dont even use any kind of tactics xD
lol my friend tried to copy some tricks from rutzors skating videos.
lol, i didnt tell him about the way that mod is designed (heavier feet) so he fell down a lot of times.
meh, it was a failed appliance, but still an appliance (if thats the word you use for this)
