good luck, congrats, etc.
The 500 dismem is actually quite necessary, and I have a replay of my decap at 500 through a submission-type hold (Judo-like, utilizes a focus point and applies downard pull on both sides of it like a scale) so decaps and dismems ARE possible but really difficult

What do you need to see?
I don't really need to SEE anything (about 1.5 years of Toribash experience, if not more), but this thing as gotten quite some popularity before it even started. It would be great if I could get some teachers (you sound like you would know how to work things) so if you'd just share some of your expertise I'd gladly make you a teacher.

I mainly play Singleplayer, but I am on Multiplayer quite often.
Exactly what I need. I try to focus on eliminating all kinds of openers (you can't really 'open' on 300 distance and 5 turns) and our mod most closely resembles Aikido out of all the official mods. If you play Wushu and have decent improv I'm sure with a little work you could transfer those skills to realistic settings as well, since wushu focuses a lot on balance and precision.

Especially with the turn frames set to 5; you've got time to maneuver.
I think I generated enough momentum on that straight punch, wouldn't you say? ;P I don't think I could get a 500-dismem decap from a standing position with that little outside momentum factoring in. MAYBE with a running start, lmao.
