I'm sort of curious to see if having a background in martial arts in real life helps you in toribash. I'm a first dan black belt in real life and I think that my introduction into the game was smoother than most, but my equally experienced friend disagreed.

One of the fighting moves I learned from toribash was Hampa's Kick, I actually used it to win a championship fight. And thanks to my years of experience I was able to catch onto the game faster than others


What do you think? Does toribash affect your IRL skills? Do your IRL skills affect how you toribash?

i used parts of larfen and pusga in an mma fight and i completely owned my opponent

after playing toribash I learned how to do 7 flips in one jump, and improved my real life vertical by like 18 meters. so I think toribash certainly helped me in an athletic sense

i can do a triple back 3 stories off the ground by only extending my ankles irl, couldn't have done it without tb

this is a fun thread but please don't get carried away thanks

Nah toribash Is irrealistic lol
I train mma and etc but i never got rl skill by TB

In terms of technique, Toribash hasn't helped me one bit. but as for flow, I think toribash helped me there. There are certain moves in Toribash that c'mon, we all know can't be done irl. But the concept of flow, I was able to take that, and modify it so I could move a little better. I'm not saying I don't look stupid at times though, I just like to experiment with different things.

As for if an irl martial arts background helps you in Toribash, I really think it does. I've been training for the better part of three years when I started this game, and I spent a couple months doing the sports everyone else does. Then I got into sparring, and realized that alot of the moves you can do irl can be done with an in-game round of sparring (modified ofc, Toribash is an unrealistic game after all).

In short, I think tb helps with certain things. trying to learn martial arts from a video game is stupid, but taking concepts away from other people in a martial arts based game? Not as stupid.


Also, please remember I'm talking about concepts, not any sort of real skill

This is a compilation of my tricking moves, some of which I actually learned from toribash.
I did not include my Hampa's Kick into the video because I recorded most of these clips before I made this post, but this is basically my current capability.

I actually learned that from when someone hosted an Etourney in a basketball mod and I hung from the pole. Without toribash I don't think I would of ever thought of doing that move
