Yeah, I only don't like erthtkv2 because of the mod's name. Make it "tkv2," and the mod will instantly become more popular. This is a valid reason as the name of the mod is still an important feature that no one seems to have yet discussed.
I'm not in the order so feel free to ignore my question but-

I always try develop a defensive play style against anything the meta of the game mode is throwing at me. In TK-> that's 2-3 turn kicks. So snap/rushed kicks. I'm having glass hand syndrome blocking these attacks, figured I'd get some tips from probably qualified people.
Need help?

I'm also keen on defensive style, and as for snapkicks, it's pretty simple to block.
Your starting move has to be something that manages to get you a nice arm swing in the general abs or below area, I usually contract one of my hips, extend the same knee and just rotate myself right or left.
After blocking, you can either try to use your other hand for offensive matters(because your legs will be in a position that would take time to set up for a kick), or ungrab the other hand. If your opponent isn't experienced, he'll probably forget about that leg and keep going, as you set up a nice kick.
oh yeah
Glass hand syndrome is always a problem but can be minimized by allowing your shoulder and wrist to flow with the kick.
Relaxing both of them can work with an either held or contracting elbow.

Just a thought ;o

When you say go with the flow of the kick do you mean it's trajectory towards me or do you mean averting it
