How to manipulate
I've decided to try it out and apparently I'm terrible at it. Tips are appreciated.

Hehe, that brought up photo manipulation tutorials. But even when I looked up manipulation tutorial, I found my thread, and a youtube video that showed an example, nothing else.

I think he meant replay making but who knows here is how to manip in replays


Manipulations are when you hit uke to make him spin in the air.
Usually manips start slow then gradually get faster.
A tip for a better manip is to make uke spin in the air in the same direction.

I attached two replays one is a bad example and the other a good example.


ps larfen is the one true god of manips

Thanks. One more question. Would you want to set the dm threshold a little higher so you don't have to worry about accidental dismemberments?

No

Its not too hard to not dm
You can relax the limb a frame or two before the impact in order to slightly dampen the momentum if needed.
Also, experiment with different gravities, -15 and -9 manips can look sweet.

Also also, avoid grabbing until AFTER the first hit, looks sloppy if you have to grab during the manip, or to get the first hit.
It makes it look like you need to grab in order to get Uke where you need him, instead of being able to do it naturally.
Larfen taught me that and he's the manip god. Hands down.

Yeah, I only don't like erthtkv2 because of the mod's name. Make it "tkv2," and the mod will instantly become more popular. This is a valid reason as the name of the mod is still an important feature that no one seems to have yet discussed.

on the other hand, making grab manips look good is super hard and you're the coolest kid around if you do it
oh yeah

True, I have a shitty example around here somewhere...

FOUND IT, made this one a few years back, and to this day the grab haunts me.
Illustrates my point well though
