[REL] Borba 2
Borba means "grappling", or "struggle" in Russian.



I wanted to make a no-grab mode where grappling would still be possible and rewarding. I achieved that by putting players close together in a small dojo, with variable turn frames. That way it's very difficult for opponent to just kick you away, since you can hug his foot and use his momentum against him. High gravity and special hand shape helps in that as well.

First thought that kicks would dominate this mode, but i was pleasantly surprised when that wasnt the case

Someone is editing this mod now, making feet a little heavier to make kicking people away harder. Hands may also be made longer and thinner for easier hooking. Hell, i may even try to do that myself today. We'll see.

I lub it!

I'm glad

I updated the mod and made a version borba2.tbm with:

Adjusted shape of the hands
Slightly heavier legs
Higher gravity
Slightly bigger dojo (+10)


Now it's harder to kick people away and easier to actually wrestle.

everything is great, epicness is by far the best. loved the reversal thingy.

By the way, would increasing friction in the hands and arms make grabbing easier?

Hehe thanks.

Increasing friction on body parts is impossible as of now.

I suggested it in suggestions forum for this exact reason, so go support it!
