This is a hard game to describe. It's basically the first turn-based beat-em-up game.

You can move all the joints of your fighter and set up the moves you are going to do, then you get 10 frames of animations where your movements are carried out. You then do another set of movements and see the results. This is actually an amazing game.

This is the sort of thing you can end up with:

Take into account that these are replays and that the real action is far faster when doing it.

Re: Toribash

Haha, this is pretty cool. It's hard to make your guy do anything at first without crumpling up and falling over, but you figure out what joints to move after a while.

Still, i pretty much just flailed around a bunch and then kicked him in the knee or something rofl

Bump for amazingness.

There's an extremely high learning curve with this game, but it's actually spectacular.

What the hell!?

I can barely beat the static guy that just stands it. I can't imagine playing against a real person that knows what they're doing. It's cool but takes too long to do anything. =\

Am glad you guys are enjoying this. I personally found it too difficult to end up getting good at, but I knew some people would enjoy it.

LEARNING CURVE RAWR!

Try pressing C as the first thing you do. It buys you a bunch of time.

And reading/watching tutorials online. They'll teach you the basics of functioning.

Re: Toribash

bahahaha i totally just karate chopped the guy's arms and then kicked his head off

Re: Toribash

What does C do? o_O

And uh, I managed to fall down and knock the dude's legs off once. Aside from that I haven't been able to do much of any damage. I managed to rip my own arm off once but couldn't throw it =\. I dunno, anything assymetrical is INCREDIBLY MORE DIFFICULT than just doing the same thing on both sides. =\

Btw, the replay "archery" is by far the best.

Re: Toribash

I like doing the splits and jumping up from it and taking my crotch to his face rofl.

C = hold all joints.

Re: Toribash

Well, I managed to do a few more things to the dummy. Punched his head off, got him in a leg pinch and took out his legs, and the like. I still can't manage to rip my own arm off, let alone throw it.

Also, I tried playing online against people. Got owned over and over, then lucked out and killed a few people. It was fun, even when I was just watching other people. Some of these people are insanely good. o_O
