Default ToriBash--part Rumble Room, Part Truck Dismount, Alll Fun!

So I stumbled across this brilliant game yesterday, thanks to my friend:

Toribash.

Do yourself a favor and download it--about 2 megs, extremely small. Yet entirely brilliant.

Basically, this is Truck Dismount for fighters. two opponents face each other. They each have various limbs to manipulte: ankle, knee, hip, glute, chest, pecs, arm, elbow, neck...all of them. Each "turn," you manipulate parts in order to best kick your opponent's ass.

In some servers the 'interval' between turns is short, so youre constantly readjusting, but my particular favorite mode of play is in the Judo servers, which I believe allos much more strategy. There's dismemberment, gravving, and a whole slew of other things, all to hilarious and surprising results. It's hard to get used to. But now for some pictures

Oh yeah, the best part--it's multiplayer. Tons of fun to be had.

...someone is using nekose as a username. ._. *is unhappy about that*

I don't suppose you have the link to 'truck dismount'? I formatted my drive and lost that game a while ago.

I just wish online play were better. I hate not getting to choose who I get to play with, and having to wait on other people to finish.

That being said, I had some hilarious fights today, in both single and multiplayer. Managed to dragon-kick someone's head off. Also, I've got a replay where I BEAUTIFULLY rip someone's head clean off and toss it away.

This is remarkably fun, if not pretty hard to learn...

I'm having some trouble actually hitting the pc-opponent where I want to, but I'm doing some neat flips. >_>

I actually found the multiplayer to be its strongest point. It's simple, clean, and efficient. I like that you basically "line up" to take down the current champ. It also allows you to relax between matches.

Hit up the additional servers--there's a no disqualify one that's friggin' great.

Yesterday, I played Toribash for 12 hours. I am a bad person.

Lovin' it. Despite being a total newbie in the game and barely even knowing what contracting and expanding the muscles actually does, I've managed to win more games than I lose -- due to sheer blind luck. Even took down a self-proclaimed vet simply because, by being a newbie, I managed to be so unpredictable he couldn't successfully land his trademark moves on me.

The era of good times has finally arrived. I powerbombed a torso and I ripped off my arms and punched the opponent in the head.
