Wushu from my perspective was always kind of an old schooler/hipster mod, that not many newer people played. I don't see many people playing wushu anymore, but mushu is much more popular because of the attractiveness to newer players with the addition of "WOW HE EXPLODED WHEN I TOUCHED HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

*ahem*
I do personally believe that Wushu has met it's match, however it may come back if someone does what Erth did with TK, and it somehow manages to work. Currently as it stands however, I don't see it being a very popular mod anymore, some people may still play it because of nostalgia.

As far as the whole rotting thing goes, I wholeheartedly agree. People get so fucking salty over everything nowadays when you make any slight mistake, I do like Wushu for the fact that you don't have to play as stiff as possible to win,
/me looks at ABD
But if you run or snapkick in ABD, no one cares. If you do that in Wushu, you're going to get hanged.
