[REL/WIP] Ninjutsu redone
It might have come to your attentions that ninjutsu.tbm yet again was
taken down from official servers, several moderators deemed it unfit for
competitive play.

Whether it's unfair or not is a discussable matter, but as any good doctor he presented us with a solution:

The objective of ninjutsu.tbm is simple, aquire the highest score before the timer
runs out without getting disqualified. You can push your opponent out of the
circle-shaped dojo, or fracture him/her to victory.

Feel free to suggest and contribute.

You dont even know how much I love you now McDill, friend.
Lets pray that ninjutsu will be revived and put back as a tourney.

do you realize how easy is it to 4 pod with 55tf DQ and don't DQ? Easiest thing you can do. So pretty much I still think defensive playstyle dominates this mod so much it's pretty much same thing
I agree on Jsnuff's view. However i love the idea of fixing up most of the things to atleast enhance the bugs and downsites.

Good job and Thank you Sir

"We will NOT put broken/unfair mods as an OFFICIAL mod of any TC awarding server."

haha, if the mod was totally broken I could understand this, but this mod has been around forever, I really don't see what the issue is. Is he scared someone will spend a few hours to farm a couple of k?

If people like it and it's fun, there should be a server up for it.

Why was it removed, exactly?

That would leave you extremely vulnerable to all manner of attacks.
The original ninjutsu has no dqtimeout inside the dojo, which allowed players to lay on their back with their knees and hip contracted. When a player approached they would simply extend their knee, preventing them from coming any closer, all while dishing out considerable amounts of damage.


This may sound easy to counter, the simple solution would be to attack your opponent from their blindspot,
however in the hands of an adept player who knew how to properly position themselves and read
their opponents moves, it gave them an unfair advantage. People (one guy?) started to use this method in tournaments
and duels to easily aquire tc, causing other players to cause a ruckus about it, calling it cheating.
Others saw this new playstyle as a challenge, wanting to conquer it, subdue it by their own way of playing.
This is where I, among others, started picking up on advanced playstyles such as blocking, ghostjuking and absorbing,
in order to defeat this new kind of foe. It was a really fun time, and we had one of the most knowledgeable players on the subject to teach us about it.

The player who started it all (funfact, he's the one who taught us too) has since apologised.

when i started playing i never intended it to be anything more than a test of defensive playstyle, I quite enjoyed the mod and didnt expect the gms to actually remove it from the servers.

The moderators removed it because they can't have a mod, where you can cheat your way to victory, in servers that award tc.
I believe your clanleader know more of the matter.

I've tried this approach already, we're free to create servers of our own, but there will be no official currencyawards from matches in ninjutsu.tbm.
Although several GMs held tournaments in that mod after the first removal of ninjutsuservers.

Sorry for the long read.

First off, I applaud your initiative and hoped my comment would spark something like this.

Secondly: I highly recommend either changing the starting positions of the Tori's, or adding a larger dojo. I think one of the biggest disadvantages that comes from "attacking the turtle", is how easy it is to be dq'd outside the dojo once you try to come in for an attack on a prone defensive unit.

Not sure if adding DQ inside the dojo helps or hurt, I'm inclined to think it hurt but that's just my opinion.

P.S: I'm not the "main guy" fighting off Ninjtusu, I like it a lot. Think I'm ranked in the top 10 or whatever in it. Have a plethora of good memories in the mod, I'm simply restating what's been said by mods, admins, etc over and over again.

so basically, cula was too good at ninjutsu so they banned the entire mod? hahaha, that's ridiculous.

I am aware of your experience with the mod, and your opinions are by all means valued.
The dojo resize is an excellent point, although I wouldn't increase it too much as movement in -30 g doesn't go too quickly, and may be difficult to direct.
Not sure if the increased frames will balance this out.
Until a better solution against the "turtle opener" is found I'll keep the dqtimeout inside.
I agree that it hurts the ninjutsu spirit and limits mobility, but currently it's the only thing we have fighting off cula's opener.

Never thought of you as an opposing force, only a moderator doing his job.
