| Scoring |
`---------'
Toribash uses location based damages. Hitting head causes most damage.
Feet, Hands, Knees and Elbows does not take any damage.
A hit bodypart turns red. The deeper the red the more damage thats been done.
.----------------.
| Dismemberments |
`----------------'
A hard blow can break a joint. Joints are the weakest when they have just been
hit (and are drawn in red).
If a joint isn't hit for a little while, its current damage will lower
gradually. Once a joint breaks it can no longer be used.
The bodypart will seperate and the joint will be in a deep red, and bleed.
.-----------.
| Fractures |
`-----------'
A hard blow can break a joint. Joints are the weakest when they have just been
hit (and are drawn in red).
If a joint isn't hit for a little while, its current damage will lower
gradually. Once a joint is fractured it can no longer be used.
The bodypart will move according to momentum, even bending backwards, and will
be drawn in blue.
Fractured bodyparts cannot be dismembered.
.----------.
| Gripping |
`----------'
Clicking left or right hand prepares it for gripping. A player can both grip
the other player and himself. To release the grip, click on the hand once more.
Grips are shown with a green transparent sphere.
Grip toggle can also be done by hovering the mouse over the wrist and pressing
L.
.-------------------.
| Disqualifications |
`-------------------'
Only hand and feet are allowed to touch the ground. A player who touches the
ground with any other bodypart or joint is disqualified.
When this happens a circle is drawn in the color of the player that lost (red
or blue). The origin of the circle is where the bodypart touched the ground.
.--------------.
| Edit replays |
`--------------'
It's possible to modify an existing replay. To do this you must first hit PAUSE
key 'p' at your desired point and then the edit key 'e'.
This will put the replay in EDIT mode and you can continue tweaking the replay
from that point on.
When you are done you must save fight with a new name. The existing fight will
still be there under it's original name.
SHIFT+P can be used to step the replay one frame at the time until you find the
best frame for editing.

.----------------.
| General Advice |
`----------------'
Don't change too many forces every round and tweak your character to a stall.
In multiplayer focus on balance over impact velocity.
A player that uses 90% of his power and can maintain his balance usually comes
out on top.
Punching is more about controlling upper body than actual arms (a bit like in
real boxing)
have fun!
