Damn bro nice app I would love to have you here so here is my answer YEAH!!
cant wait to see what the others say
fuck 12, free all my shootaz
I'm going to say this and hope you don't take it the wrong way.

All you did for 2 weeks straight was nag and nag and nag. We all have real lives and that takes priority over toribash. Just because it didn't get put in immediately and exactly when you wanted it to doesn't mean we ignored it.

So please stop saying we don't care.
Yeah it isn't taken seriously IMO.

I mean monsoon says he's been hosting TL tourneys but that's didn't from the org.
Life isn't 100% great right now, and just no one to really talk too so :L
I am here senior bands :P
anyyyywho ill be lurking if you need me
fuck 12, free all my shootaz
Feel free to message me about this or put it wherever. It's just a starting point for a much more elaborate tutorial. Since I'm no artist, I can't properly illustrate what I'm describing so bear with me.
1. When you set moves in toribash, a huge part of it is forward energy. What i mean by that is, moving your whole body in for punches and kicks.
2. In order to keep forward energy going, balance has to be good. Otherise, the attacks can just be redirected to expose vulnerabilities.
3. Imagine trying to move toward someone from a single point. all you could do then is swing your limbs forward and let the momentum carry you. This strategy is actually a very good way to create energy going forward if performed from a solid base.
4. To take it one step further, think about the law of equal and opposite reactions while planning movements. let's say you land on a bent knee with your foot facing the opposite direction of your opponent. This is a great setup! except when you try to extend the knee, you do a partial front flip as well as moving backwards. So what do you do? Bring the other leg back, or raise an arm up behind you to counteract the spin and lengthen the time it takes to extend the knee, allowing the comeback to become a stable leap back into a possible attack, instead of exposing the head.
5. Which brings me to my next point: paying attention not only to your center of gravity, but the momentum and weight of what's already happening. oftentimes there's a choice presented. Either waste 10-20 frames reversing direction (usually not the right decision unless you already have some sparring structure and accuracy), or continuing the spin, which could result in a strike or superior setup with momentum going into it.
6. Don't underestimate the use of ankles. If you're not changing your ankle states fairly often, the chances you're playing efficiently are slim to none. They are that important.
