Toribash: free and unusual fighting game.

[Corrado_Decimo]

It's a turn based fighting game. no is not the usual arcade or similar... you have your dummy with all the joints a body need to move (elbows, knees, hips, shoulders, neck, waist, etc..) and you need to create combinations of joints (relax/contract/hold/extend) to move, generate kinetic energy to struck your opponent and to try to not fall down.

here we have the official video:

the game is free and the setup is really light. graphically the game sucks but the physic engine is just amazing... and the learning curve is well one of the hardest a game could have.

I like the video..I'm gonna try it out!

[Christo]

Amazing.

I'll definitely try this out.

[Vibe]

I tried it a year or two ago (?), might try it again. Don't really remember much about it, I couldn't be arsed to dive into it at that time.

[B3RS3RK]

Sounds awesome, Will try(Although I bet its hard to learn at all if you not lifeless)

[Christo]

Agreed, it's hard as hell.

[Casimir]

Fucking awesome game, payed it for a while a few months ago, but its so hard to keep up with the good players.

I could just about stand up, jump and do simple thrust punches in multiplayer.

Wanna see one of the best players? watch this

i remember i did 3-4 opening moves and some good noob matches in about 3 weeks playing it. in multiplayer, is really hard but talking with veterans, seems they started to move around comfortably after 3-4 months.

anyway the fact is this game is so hard to figure it out, that when you manage to execute your own moves effectively (even a simple but not so simple roundhouse kick), it's really rewarding.

hah i didn't know that... i gave up because it's really that hard... to play it at an average level, need to invest months (in my case). surely someone with a natural talent and intuition about physics can do it faster but...

[Dezilagel]

Hah, I was actually pretty good at that game like a couple of years ago.

Oh you guys 

Anyway, hook me up with my new account since my old 7th dan got lost (silly moi)

Its: ColonicA

And as my templols have found out, I pwn noobies with dual swords and katana mod :3

[Templar_Ratigan]

Yeah I loved playing this game with all the Templars, just for the hilarity of it. I never really got the hang of it and I was only just starting to use the floppy modes with the stiff ones......*Insert penis joke*

The really good players are just depressingly good, but I take consolation in the fact that they probably all look like different versions of that fat gamer from the famous, south park world of warcraft  episode.

[Tears of Destiny]

I played the crap out of this a long time ago. Loved the level where you were fighting your opponent on a pair of crossed beams with a blender below.

[Phoenix]

Tears thats like the best level ever! I like how you could grab onto "Uke" and pull him down and then somehow like jump back up and survive 

[Laufknoten]

The only thing I'm able to do in this game is breaking my own neck. Still quite funny.

[Christo]

I just started to play in a beginner's lobby. I had a 7 victory streak, even managed to piss of some experienced guy with my noobish grab and push, then kick the shit out of him tactics.
