Tested this with Fear in wushu and morten_3. Went pretty much exactly as dabarett and DashSora said, intense, fun, twitchy at the start but you can really make cool moves once you figure it out. Got an update for the idea:

Would be nice to have the game speed up/slow down in mods like aikido where you have different turn frames throughout the game.

And a little story with a moral at the end:

[18:27] <@AssassinPro> one time my brother told his friend about toribash
[18:27] <@AssassinPro> briefly
[18:27] <@AssassinPro> the guy got super excited
[18:27] <@AssassinPro> he said that it soulds like the best game ever
[18:28] <@AssassinPro> but then when he installed it he learned that its turn based
[18:28] <@AssassinPro> and he lost all his enthusiasm
[18:28] <@AssassinPro> moral of the story: add my idea kthx

Actual moral of the story: this idea wouldn't just benefit older players who are tired of the game and want to try something new, but also might attract newer players as it's a cool concept.
