how do i get better at this game?
ive been casually playing toribash for too long lol. like 2008. my MP skill is garbage and my SP is mediocre at best (and highly outdated). whenever i play i do stupid shit like loading up crushercogs and setting fracture threshold to 10

how do i learn to get better at mp? whenever i play against others i lose to really good fundamental knowledge of the game. i can tell people know something about the game that I clearly don't....just a really good sense of control over their own character and my own. fuck it's actually a little silly how little i know about this game. i just dont really know how to get better.

it's not like i dont play mp. i'll try for a good week or two and not see any improvement. i just feel a little lost. any advice?
Play the judo.tbm mod a lot in free play.

Then play judo online.

Then back to free play.

Weird giving advice to an older member than me.


I would first reccommend finding a move you like, then keep using that move until you have it mastered.



After you have that move mastered, you should have learned most of your joints by know so you'll be set to control your character. o/
Play against people who are better than you.

Play against people who are in full tryhard mode, i.e: snapkicks, running etc.. (find people like this in ranked and tourney rooms)

Either or both of these things will force you to play beyond your normal comfort level and you'll improve.
If you really want to get better, you should learn the counters to common cheese tactics (learn a good snapkick counter, for example).
You just need to keep practicing and watching videos to see how its done

DONT CARE ABOUT WHAT OTHERS SAY...........

play as noob as u can and use your brain. be tricky


lol he said watch videos.... you dont get shit from that
Winning a game in toribash is mainly doing stuff until either you or your opponent makes a mistake. A good player makes mistakes less often, and can utilize his opponents mistakes more to secure a win.

I play a lot of tk, so Im gonna talk about that.

Now, tk is mostly staying one turn ahead. Most attacks take 2 turns to make, but they are deadly as well. One mistake will most likely cost you the game. Be ready to react to ALL of your opponents attacks, whilebeing able to attack without getting countered yourself.

I see that you are also a brown belt. Controlling your whole tori on an efficient (efficiency is golden in mp) level takes practice. Find good players and get beaten until you can beat them. Ask for advice, counter snapkicks in freeplay, you name it. When you have the basics down you should start dueling. Its a great way to find competetive supergeeks that will gladly try their best to put you down, until you can put them down.

most of all, have fuckin fun or youll be standing in the same hole for another year.

Peace

Edit: forgot to mention. Duels can be free, look at my avy/sig. And go with defensive openers,relying on moves wont helpyou get much better.

find your own style. stick with an opener (snapkick or whatever) keep playing until you know the function and uses of each joint, try to learn how to counter or save any situation
play the mod you like the most, and of course, have fun

i started playing erthtk, now i just play grappling mods
