From tori noob to tori Pro (V1.4)

Begineer guide with basics and some secret mooves!

Welcome to the world of Toribash (updated to V1.5)

Welcome to the world of Toribash,lets get started
So,you decided to download and play Toribash.You will soon realize that Toribash is not only a game,it is realistic,fun,hard to master and impossible to leave.If you dont know already,Toribash is a ragdoll fighting game where you control every limb of your caracter,the Tori.You can relax,hold,contract and extend each of your limb,almost.

First times You will play aganist other players you will surely loose,a lot.But that does not mean you will give up and say i tryed and it was too hard.No,you will stand up,even if you moove only your legs with no sense in hoping of victory and keep trying.I recomend you to first days,or weeks practice everyday on free play and challange uke,or just edit The replays pressing the e key.Even i practice every day on uke offline,and with 41 hours already recorded i start to develop my own mooves.Toribash is amazing.You can use kickbox,judo,wushu,box,capoiera to defeat your foes,or,you can make your own fighting styles and become famous.

Lets get started,i will tell you a few things to be better and a few mooves!

First of all,adjust your video settings to have a smooth FPS rate.
You can press z,x and c while holding mouse over a limb, or if you not hold it over any limb,it will afect your whole body.C is for holding all,the most important one.
I use kickbox and some self invented mooves.I use kickbox because i can break knees,necks,rip arms,score a lot of points and hurt my enemy with it.
I recomend you to hold every limb,and almost never relax them,if you relax them,you could fall to the ground and DQ yourself.DQ means disqualify.One of most important things is to not give up,even at last frames,i did win at last frames many times.Your opponents know no mercy,just like in real life.You can let him beat you,take 10 tori credits or more,and humiliate you,or you can keep training and training,until you will be good enough to show your opponent that he is not better than you.So here are a few kickbox-box mooves to get you started,i will tell you how many times to click with left mouse button on each limb,perhaps it will be more easy for you to memorate them.

Double-Hand ripper (rips both hands with dismembertresthold 100)
Press c
Contract pecs
Contract elbows
space 1x
Contract wrists
Grab with both hands (v)

If you done well,u have 2 extra hands to use...

Press c to hold all
2 clicks chest
2clicks lumbar
3 clicks left pec
3 clicks left hip(extending)
if your opponent is close enough,you can contract left wrist and elbow,giving a more powerful strike on your foes head
if you wish to grab his head,you can press v,respectively click on each hand to make it grab or release,if you grab,its not a bad idea to contract the right pec too,so you have his head between your hands!

Tip
If you have a limb relaxed when you know a punch or whatever will damage it,its less probable that will get fractured and you cant control it for the rest of the round!

GHOSTING


To preview your move a ghost of your character is shown. Only the selected
character is ghosted. Both characters can be ghosted with the 'B' key.


SCORING


Toribash uses location based damages. Hitting head causes most damage.
Feet, Hands, Knees and Elbows does not take any damage. A hit body part turns red. The deeper the red the more damage that’s been done.


DISMEMBERMENTS


A hard blow can break a joint. Joints are the weakest when they have just been
hit (and are drawn in red). If a joint isn't hit for a little while, its current damage will lower
gradually. Once a joint breaks it can no longer be used. The body part will separate and the joint will be in a deep red, and bleed.


FRACTURES


A hard blow can break a joint. Joints are the weakest when they have just been
hit (and are drawn in red). If a joint isn't hit for a little while, its current damage will lower
gradually. Once a joint is fractured it can no longer be used. The body part will move according to momentum, even bending backwards, and will be drawn in blue. Fractured body parts cannot be dismembered.


GRIPPING


Clicking left or right hand prepares it for gripping. A player can both grip
the other player and himself. To release the grip, click on the hand once more. Grips are shown with a green transparent sphere. Grip toggle can also be done by pressing the “v” key.


DISQUALIFICATIONS


Only hand and feet are allowed to touch the ground. A player who touches the
ground with any other body part or joint is disqualified. When this happens a circle is drawn in the color of the player that lost (red or blue). The origin of the circle is where the body part touched the ground.



GENERAL ADVICE


In multiplayer, focus on balance over impact velocity.


A player that uses 90% of his power and can maintain his balance usually comes out on top.


Punching is more about controlling upper body than actual arms (a bit like in real boxing).


In Free Play, select player with left mouse button.

VIDEO TUTORIALS

SINGLEPLAYER (FREE PLAY)


This is training mode. Practice your opener moves on Uke, you training partner. This game mode allows you to make cool replays as well. No time limit. No pressure.



MULTIPLAYER


Play Judo, Aikido and more against players from around the world right here.
You have a set amount of time for each round to prepare your move. Prepare your move and when ready, hit SPACE. Both players prepare move at the same time. The player with the most points when the timer hits 0 is the winner. You get DISQUALIFIED (for some mods like Aikido) if anything but hands and feet touch the ground. In most lobbies, winner stays and loser is put in queue among the other players. Toribash is played with a central server that manages the game. The server IP is visible in the Multiplayer screen.



EDIT REPLAYS


It's possible to modify an existing replay. To do this you must first hit PAUSE
key 'p' at your desired point and then the edit key 'e'. This will put the replay in EDIT mode and you can continue tweaking the replay from that point on. When you are done you must save fight with a new name. The existing fight will still be there under it's original name. SHIFT+P can be used to step the replay one frame at the time until you find the best frame for editing.



HOW TO ADJUST REPLAY SPEED


If you want to slow a replay down, speed a replay up, pause the replay or rewind the replay, press “,” to slow down and press “.” to speed up. There's a speed meter in the bottom right corner of the screen. You'll notice a change when you slow down or speed up the replay. This feature is available in singleplayer and multiplayer. You can even you this feature when spectating matches.

Toribash FAQ

Latest version can be found on http://www.toribash.com


1. How do I play Multi player?
Press Escape, choose Multi player from the menu, type in a nickname and press Enter. If there is more than 1 player on the server you will be placed last in the queue, where you can spectate the ongoing game(s) while waiting for your turn.
When its your turn you have to press Space to start the game. Now you control the player in the same manner as in single player. The difference is that you and your opponent only have 20 seconds to decide your moves before time advances 10 frames, and then you have another 20 seconds before time advances again, it continues like that until time reaches zero, or until a player gets disqualified. (See next question)
When time reaches zero the player with the most points win.
And finally, last man standing rule applies, you win you stay. You loose, it's back to the queue.

2.Why do i sometimes get disqualified and the game ends even if time isn't up?
Only hands and feet are allowed to touch the ground. A player who touches the ground with any other body part or joint is disqualified. When this happens a circle is drawn in the color of the player that lost (red or blue). The origo of the circle is where the body part touched the ground.

3. Why won't Multi player work for me?
Make sure you check that your firewall is allowing outgoing connections. Also if you're using a it for the first time and the firewall pops up and asks you if you wish to allow toribash.exe to connect to the internet, make sure you press 'yes' or multi player will fail to work in the future.

4. Can I have my own head texture?
Yes you can. Save a picture in 24bit TGA format and put it in the \heads folder. Give the file the same name as your player name(yourname.tga). The size of the head should be 128x128 pixels. In photoshop select 24/bits pixel and no alpha channel when saving. In Gimp make sure RLE compression is disabled.

An easy way to try out the new head texture is to change the default heads (tori.tga, uke.tga) to your new head.

5. How do i kick, punch, grip etc?
Please watch the turorial videos on www.toribash.com, or refer to the manual distributed with the game. And if you're not satisfied by then come visit us at the official forums. A general beginner tip is not to set force on too many joints at the same time.

6. When will this really important feature that i want, be implemented? Patience, my son. Toribash is a one man, part time project. However, when v2.0 is released many parts of the game will be moddable, and you might be able to create that hot feature by yourself Smiley

7. Who is the developer of Toribash?
Hampa, the game is released though his own company, Nabi Studios; http://www.nabistudios.com/


8.I've seen some near perfected replays where people pull off almost insane moves, how do they do that?
All replays can be edited with the E key. Playback your replay and hit E where you think your replay 'starts to go wrong'. Using the Pause key (P) coupled with Shift-P (for one frame stepping) find the exact frame where you want to start the edit. Now tweak your player into doing desired move, save and watch, now rinse & repeat lots and lots of times for perfection. Also, once you enter edit mode, all remaining time frames from the original replay are cleared.


9. Will Toribash run on my computer?
Toribash should be able to run just fine on most computers, even those with low ram and graphics cards. It uses no next-generation shaders or renderers. It just typhically uses spheres a boxes and some textures to make it look nice.

10.What modding cabilities will there be?
Custom character models, including the options to create weapons. Alterable physics parameters. Configurable server software. Enviroment options too.

11. I have an awesome suggestion for Toribash!
Please post in the Troibash Suggestion thread – thanks!

12. Where does the names Toribash and Uke come from?
Tori and Uke are terms commonly used in Japanese martial arts, meaning
attacker and defender. Read more here: http://www.judoinfo.com/kataju.htm

13. How do I get a custom head?
Visit the link: http://forum.toribash.com/tori_textures.php

14. Toribash on Linux
Toribash does work on Linux with Cedega. (thanks sinred!)

15. Help, mods wont work!
Check to see the mod is in the /data/mod/ folder. Make sure you are starting Toribash.exe with the correct filename.

16. How do i use the options in the setup screen?
Nick - self explanatory
Match frames - length of the match
Turn frames - length of each turn
Engage distance - starting length between players. higher number for further apart
Dismemberment - turns dismemberment on and off
Disqualifications - turns disqualifications on ground impact on and off
Self damage - turns self damage on and off

changes will take effect when a new game is started

I usually do aikido matches. So the "hold all limbs" is crazy to me. I almost always play all relaxed. Gives much more flexibility. Only holding the critical limbs when need be. You learn to balance in all kinds of positions. I used to start with ALL HOLD. But that quickly becomes nooby stuff. You want to smoke the top tier players? Your only option in aikido is relaxed fighting. Everything else becomes predictable over time.

How are things for you now?

How's your life going?

I am now a university student. Still a gamer though. Looking back at this guide, holly hell. I look forward to looking back at this once I hit old age and realize how many amazing moments I had in this game.

[DR.ZOMBOY]

so far my skill is at moving to the opponent in Wushu, but cant regain balance to preform a takedown.

[felshenboole]

theres something cool you can do with the double-hand ripper if you extend the left hip contract the right hip extend both knees and ankles (which you have to relax all for) you'll get a cool result
