How do i stop sucking at this game? All i do is ending up on the ground spazzing. I'd appreciate it SO much if someone would help me out and teach core mechanics.

Keep practiceing is al i can suggest for you to do.
Everyone was a total potato that couldn't do anything at the start,

Just keep playing games and learn how to do different stuff, You might still feel like this for a few hundred games, But since a large amount of the comunity players have played well over 1-2 thousand games you can just do as them. keep playing
It's litteraly the best thing you can do.

For mechanics,tactics,or simply doing moves. You can just look on your opponent,friend, or just random player on what type of joint they move in any situation.

Sorry for being kinda shitty at the grammar and what so ever. Kinda tired and can't be bothered with it, But hope i helped you out atleast for a little bit.

-Cheers

One thing that you really need is a push to keep you going. It is really easy to just quit toribash as you play because the game has you starting off slow, unable to really get going until you have some experience with the whole game. Just keep trying!

How do you stop sucking at anything? Practice like Xioi said, most people are a thousand games ahead of you. To put that into perspective, in relative terms you could say they are 100 golf games ahead of you.

If it is your first time playing golf, you're gonna suck, a person that has played 100 games for example will suck less than you.

No-one ever taught me the core mechanics and I would consider myself to suck a lot less than 80% of the community. I have never asked anyone to teach me, because frankly this game can not easily be taught to someone. Every foot your tori moves after set frames presents a complete new scenario of appropriate movements to make, thus teaching becomes pointless.

Besides you already have a coach...Failure- the best teacher of all. Stick with him and after said 1000 games you will notice your improvement.

Press C to hold all and pay attention to what your ghost shows you (the thing which predicts your move). Try to work out how the ghost (and your tori) will react to certain joints. It is as simple as that, try to become familiar with the joints.

Here are a few words to remember: Never Give Up.

Practice really is everything. This is game is by no means easy, and sometimes it clicks faster with others, sometimes longer.

Just gotta keep trying, study other players if you must in-game. Learn as much as you can until it clicks.

Now that are scary replies.

I've created a thread with a more specific question, and it helped me a lot, I moved from white belt to green in one night. Here it is: How to start a fight?

Hope it'll help.

You just need to train yourself, it isn't so hard. Just train, we all started this game like noobs, and some of us are now pro.

Although practice is directly attributed to success in any activity (this is proven with science and stuff) I think there are ways to speed the process of development. If you only practice at jousting or two swords you are unlikely to become a skilled and well respected player because they do not require such a large variety of skills. When you open up torubash you should know what you are aiming to achieve by the time you finish the session and close the game. Give yourself aims like, learn how to stay standing unsupported without support or only using one hand. You could aim to find new move combinations for mods on multiplayer. Find a new starter and develop tactics from there.
