formally INTRODUCING

Each mod here contains certain adjustments to the beloved aikido mods which should reduce randomness and further competitive play:
  • aikidobigdojo -> fearkido
  • aikido -> moonkido
  • greykido -> greykidofixed
Summary of the differences:

fearkido (or click here if you want)
  • Fracture threshold: 250 -> 280
  • Dismember threshold on wrists and ankles: <default> -> 1200
  • Ring size: 800 -> 820
  • Turnframes: 500 -> 520, a 20-frame turn is added to the end of the usual run
moonkido
  • Same fracture threshold, dismemberment threshold as what can be found in fearkido
  • Ring size: 450 -> 470
  • Everything else remains the same as what can be found in aikido.tbm
greykidofixed
  • Same fracture threshold, dismemberment threshold as what can be found in fearkido
  • Height of the exterior pads are raised 0.05 units: 0.125 -> 0.175
  • Everything else remains the same as what can be found in greykido.tbm
Explanation for changes:
  • Since a feature of high-level aikido play is the "clap" opening and its variants, it is common for a pair of hands on the same side to end up grabbing the respective opponent's wrist, which can create a wrist dismemberment in a manner that is hard to predict. Fear took it upon himself to solve this issue by raising the dismemberment threshold on wrists.***
  • The threshold was raised for ankles as well, since an ankle can occasionally dismember upon impact (usually after recovering from a lift/suplex).***
  • The ring size was given a small increase of 20 units, to give the player a little more of a chance to save themselves from disqualification.**
  • The timer was increased by 20 units, and the last turn will be 20 frames long, to give the player a little more of a chance to collect damage points (if needed).*
  • The greykido pads were increased from 0.125 units to 0.175 units since a common issue with greykido is the player's foot clipping through the pad and disqualifying themselves underneath.*
Explanation key:
* - applies to fearkido
* - applies to moonkido
* - applies to greykidofixed

Ideally, the play of the mods should remain the same as what you can expect. These are merely competitive optimizations to, (as previously stated), minimize randomness so a player's skill has a better opportunity to shine.

You can already find fearkido being used in bet servers, replacing aikidobigdojo, and the mod already has over 1000 games played. Out of inspiration, I have made similar adjustments to make aikido and greykido better. I have tested both mods in my own server (under -_test.tbm names) and have received positive feedback from those who participated.

Thanks to Fear for being the first to make such changes.
