Real time game mode
I've had this idea for a while, and I know that most of the suggestions don't get implemented but I might as well share it with some people.
So what we have right now is that Toribash is a turn-based game. In multiplayer in classic mode for example you get 20 seconds to click your joints how you want to the n you skip 10 frames, and it happens again. The numbers are different for various mods, but the concept is always the same.
My idea is that instead of getting to make moves during the freeze time, you get an option to toggle a gamemode where the replay is going at a slow speed (if we take classic.tbm, we have 20 reaction time per 10 turn frames, so the replay would need to play a turn frame each 2 seconds), and you can click joints at any time during your match. Before the game starts, you get 20 seconds to make some sort of an opener. Joint movements get applied after the counter reaches the beginning of the next frame (so you have 2 seconds to adjust a certain joint if we go with our example). This way, you can allow for quicker and more intense matches, since you see what your opponent is going for and vice versa.
Yet again, this would be hard to implement and probably won't be implemented any time soon, if at all, but I just wanted to share some thoughts and maybe give you some new ideas to think about. Thanks for taking your time to read this, peace.

I am actually happy that this got bumped, and before that post gets deleted as useless I'd like to add that with this gamemode in the game it would also make sense to display player ping since now it would actually be relevant.

For the way sora and I did our game mode I would set the reaction time high for the first turn to get them familiarized and then start out with the 3-5 reactiontime so they are ready, it is really intense as he said, and you can be really balanced and smooth once used to it but people new to it can be kinda twitchy
Tested this with Fear in wushu and morten_3. Went pretty much exactly as dabarett and DashSora said, intense, fun, twitchy at the start but you can really make cool moves once you figure it out. Got an update for the idea:
Would be nice to have the game speed up/slow down in mods like aikido where you have different turn frames throughout the game.
And a little story with a moral at the end:
[18:27] <@AssassinPro> one time my brother told his friend about toribash
[18:27] <@AssassinPro> briefly
[18:27] <@AssassinPro> the guy got super excited
[18:27] <@AssassinPro> he said that it soulds like the best game ever
[18:28] <@AssassinPro> but then when he installed it he learned that its turn based
[18:28] <@AssassinPro> and he lost all his enthusiasm
[18:28] <@AssassinPro> moral of the story: add my idea kthx
Actual moral of the story: this idea wouldn't just benefit older players who are tired of the game and want to try something new, but also might attract newer players as it's a cool concept.
