Rkmma is way more balanced than a mod like ABD. In rkmma, it is more difficult to push someone out of the ring since there is no grab and f you do push them out, then props to you.

Sorry for being old fashioned but I like games with people of equal skill. Not playing just to counter a stupid shovel every game. It gets boring.

Its not that I can't counter its that I hate having to do it so often. Where before you could have a good game with other people with out having to worry if they are going to lift or shovel.

2012s WC between daxx and kristis was so pathetic and sense then it has only gotten worse.

sadly, this is true and situation was quite different during 08-09.
blackbelt aikido server was an amazing place and regulars were playing without going for the cheapest shit possible.

my guess is abd betting ruined it all. when it comes to money tc people will do any shit to win. hence the idea that everything is good as long as it keeps you winning.

abd is a really simple mod with a simple way to survive, therefore it is really easy to understand and pick up. betting server hosts started using it for their servers because of that, so that most people could play (while still keeping a decent mod for the skilled players to use)
the fact that abd is easy to pick up and not as easy to master makes it the perfect mod for the new players to start playing at a competitive level

since abd was adopted by so many people, techniques are always being developed, always new tricks to do whatever, etc. it wasnt difficult to predict that non-competitive abd would adapt from competitive abd, because the competitive abd scene is huge
oh yeah
Or maybe people just don't know how to lose?
If you DM them you are noob
If you lift them out you are noob lifter
If you win by points you are a noob point holder
If you win with force dq you are noob gay grabber (usual)
But as I said, abd has many ways to win and it makes it competitive, countering shit in abd is much easier than countering push in rk(not talking about openers)

Poop... I don't think youtube helps anyone in ABD. When anyone plays ABD they want to win right? So why would I sacrifice that. ABD is a 100% competitive mod so what do you expect.. seriously lifting, shovelling, kicking is not a problem at all but you will probably on realise this if you are good enough. The only people mad in this thread are the shitty players. Mods like wushu there is more to it than just winning - that is not the case for ABD. As I said ABD is all about winning.

Edit: Poop you said "this is why I play TK" and by that you mean you snap kick noobs 24/7, you're such a hypocrite.

abd is a mess, without defined meta.
if you want to see if you worth anything in terms of skill - play spiritwrestling, then feel free to claim "shitty players" all you want

For your information I have played lots of SW, if you look to one of my previous posts then you will see what I said.

SW right now is just a point holding mod and thats about it. In my opinion it is no any harder in ABD than it is in SW to counter cheap play.
I don't consider ABD being a bad mod since some or most people actually like ABD. Cheap moves like headbutting, lifting, DM kicks, etc. Those moves only happen because it is more authorized in many cases. ABD is better, but I don't think I'd prefer anything to adjust ABD at all, not even from RK-MMA. ABD is a better mod, balance or not, I find it perfect with no changes at all.

how the hell sw is point holding mod?..

may be you can't play it right?

on other note: after checking the replay dates, it seems like it's been atleast 3 years since i developed throws in aikido and i guarantee that this is still very uncommon thing to see around. wow time does fly.

Perhaps to add credibility to your "superiority" and or alleged expertise in what you preach you'd be willing to duel race to 5 against Fistoflife in SW and aikido. 2 indendent duels, no rules outside of what's physically possible within the mod. The reason I say that is because many people voice opinions, but many opinions aren't valuable ones. People can "feel" a certain way, and they're welcome to voice their opinion, but past all the smoke and mirrors only a few opinions are ever actually substantiated by the logic AND the actual ability.



Unrelated to that, but related to the topic: I hate the title of this discussion. It seems to indicate there was some golden age where everyone sang songs and danced around a fire never caring about winning strategies and conforming to this ubiquitous meta that all were comfortable with.
