Bay 12 Games Forum

In because ^

This game seems to spring up on this board every half a year or so, and then sinks back into obscurity. Here at Bay 12 we're people very much used to bloody murder, dismemberment, and violent wrestling, so what gives?

For the unenlighted, Toribash is a turn-based powered-ragdoll physics fighting game for two players. What this means is that instead of pushing a button to punch, you tell the torso/shoulder/elbow/hand joints which way to move, and end turn, then watch as your fighter pummels himself in the face because you forgot to reset the shoulder's move from last turn. It's pretty fun.

So, how about some fighting?

The old thread kind of died and nobody seemed to play anymore.

Anyway, Toribash is a game about beating the shit out of people by moving individual muscles. You can sever limbs, break bones and even jumpkick your opponent hard enough for a decapitation. Fun times.

If anyone's interested, there's usually a BAY12 room, called Bay12.

Some advice:

Nipping with nails hurts like HELL, do it often.

Eye injuries will get you in SERIOUS trouble. (If they go home and tell on you for it. Try not to leave permanent damage)

Don't be afraid to run around and dodge. Taking blows as they come is a bad idea

Getting someone in a chokehold is actually pretty easy if you can get behind them. Unless they are quite a bit stronger than you, they are unlikely to be able to get out of it if you do it right. They WILL surrender, because not being able to breath is scary. Don't do it too hard or you might crush their windpipe, which is bad, because then they die.

Don't get cocky. This is hard to not do, but if you start laying back, you're going to get smashed.

Bending fingers works, and is very painful.

Your aim is to inflict enough pain and fear that they stop fighting, NOT to actually hurt them. Keep that in mind and avoid causing permanent injuries.

Remember, that when you're fighting, you will feel invincible due to adrenaline rush. You are not. You will feel stronger than normal and you will be stronger than normal, but the other guy will be too.



That's pretty much all the advice I can give. Try not to permanently maim or kill anyone.

Yeah, you look like you're in the exact same position as me.

Stuff I've learned so far:
Relationships at 13 last a few months at most.

Wait until 17-18 before trying to get a girlfriend, as then you actually know that you like them and not the crapton of chemicals in your brain that are constantly yelling "Sex! Seeexxxx!". Once putberty's done and you arn't a walking sack of drugs, then try.

Don't come out and say that you like them, that ends in laughing and people seeing you as a creep.

Alright then...

I just realised that people do impossible things on pro runs. Specifically, deathstreams-quick chains of beats with no gaps in them. Yoou have to hit every note or you'll be on bad footing. And yet the pros can seem to hit 500bmp and not break a sweat. Does anyone know how they do it?

Ever seen starcraft players who do 3 useful actions every second? That kind of person.
