Toribash

Toribash is a turn-based fighting game where, during a turn, you set-up, articulate, and execute fighting moves with rag-doll characters. Looks like a pretty cool idea. Windows based executable, Linux based server software. I've been doing this for hours, and hours now. I... I... can't stop. Via (and description courtesy of )Negatendo

It's got a steep learning curve, but, oh, the things you can do.

Yeah, I tried that this morning and just gave up. It looks hugely fun, but I think the learning curve was too much for my wee little brain.

Here's my best so far: Tearing the Uke apart like a phone book.

I find it fun to just have them hold hands and kick the crap out of eachother

Heh. All I can do so far is get my guy to fall down. :(

That Tekken-King replay is pretty sweet, though. I will practice.

Great link. Thanks.

I clearly just don't get it...anyone want to drop a hint as to wtf to do here?

Love it! Now we just need an Exhibition / Challenge mode where we must guide the fighter through obstacles and have him accomplish simple tasks!

(Also, centralised replay sharing with score/time metadata would be great!)

My best attack so far has been a kick to the groin so hard that it detatches my own leg, which then flips up and hits the other dude in the face.
