Joint fluidity movement tips?
I just watched some of largekilla and swexxelite's replays, and now I feel like the worst toribash player to roam this sexy forum.

I have a horrible problem:
I don't really know what joints do when a certain combination is obtained.

Like, for instance: When I do spars, I don't know how to do some cool jump.

Or for parkouring, I can't do a jump at all.

I can't even make my own run because I don't truly know how to use joints in a correct formation that allows for such movement to be obtained to gain speed in a forwards fashion.

Any tips for balancing/jumping/running/acrobatics/fluidity of joint movement?

I will love you forever if you help me with this!
To stay fluidity, don't lock your whole body, and stay relaxed. To jump better, you'll need to use your ankle joins more and extend them to give you more air. To stay balanced, don't let one joint (say the arm) over power the other, like, don't let one limb be higher than the other. I don't parkour or spars much. So I do mainly combat mainly to win. But it's always fun to look all smoothly when breaking your opponents throat open.

Hope this helped. ~Neighborhood Siren

Practice is the key. Spend some time in SP getting to know your joints. Provide some momentum, then relax and hold most of your body. Start out by making a run. After you do your first step, relaxing and holding will get you through most of the run. You will obviously need to extend and contract, but relaxing is very, very helpful. Hope this helped.
