Walls are, in my opinion, a much better solution to running in low-gravity mods.
That said, I do have my reservations about Mars' version as well. I agree that the box might be too narrow, too restricting on freedom of movement. I understand it's meant to force players to engage, but that kind of goes against the spirit of what wushu is about. I think it might be improved if it was a tad wider - not as wide as the boxshu one necessarily, but perhaps 1/4 or even 1/3 wider. Another thing I'd change is reduce the difference between limb and torso damage to a more modest amount. Right now it seems a tad too drastic, based on few games I played there.
Mars' mod is only a poor version of boxshu with bi-dimensional movements, it's a joke to wushu, the values in the point system part of the mod makers are poorly thought out, if not dumb.
About the "dojo or box" matter, saying dojo limits freedom but the walls don't is rather hypocritical, they do exactly the same thing except dojo brings consequences and walls bring safety. Dojo = punishement / Walls = crutchs.
I personnaly think the more challenging something is, the more fun it gets ; and walls go against that idea,
EXCEPT IF there was a way to make walls & ceiling act like the ground (DQ except for hands/feet/wrists). That would be fun, punishing if lacking control, and would speed the pace of the game. Also, boxshu's ceiling is way too low, and a circle room rather than a square one would be good, it's easier to run corner to corner rather than dealing with a curve, but a square would still be fine I guess.
Although I know wushu_2015 has flaws but it's been thought out as a "transitional" mod while we're waiting for better ways to deal with the flaws of wushu with no dojo/room. And ultimately I'd also prefere a "first to X points wins" and get rid of the dojo as well, but in the mean time I still think it's the best way to limit running for the moment, except if someone can make a room with walls & ceiling acting like the ground and with reasonnable dimensions, I'd actually like that.
