Crazy? Hell yeah I bet.
Wow. Reading through this was fascinating. I went inactive spring '13 and I do remember some of this bubbling up, those hold all dueler power kick types (whom I have no issues with, all the same to me) would prod about the playstyle now and then, but I
definitely left before the meat of that debacle.
Ho-ly shit that escalated.
Someone (maybe you Kane?) gave me a short explanation of box mushu when I came back, because I was confused as hell, that it was made to make fun of wushu.... but god damn that's wild.
Thanks for the story!
I don't see why they didn't just make a box wu mod, or why that isn't common now. I remember one with a real big dojo that was pretty fun. Well I think that was wushu? Long time ago.
But more importantly than mushu, the box. Bavaros has a wushu small sphere mod that's ostensibly a fast-paced cb trainer, but is a good example of why mid size box mods work.
If someone runs, yes that is a valid form of play, but a box brings the aggressor's tactics into play too. I can attempt to predict your movements (just like many competitive mods) to cut you off, catch you. Level playing field again.
Compromise.
I actually make fun of mushu boxshu by running, on the few occasions I play it. Learned that one from Bav.
Oh yeah, and these days high dans don't know the acronym: cb. What a world, what a tori-world.
