Hey all.
My name is YoloSwagInABox, I'm a Black belt with 1181 plays, and a 73% win rate, and I would be honored to be apart of such a highly skilled community such as Nitro.
A short bio of my life pertaining to Toribash, in 1998 I was born in Salone-De-Provence, France; where my father who was overseas met my mother and eventually had me. We moved to the US when I was 2 years old, where I was raised in California, and eventually, due to my father being a contractor at Beale AFB, I was introduced to computers, and eventually got into building computers as a hobby and gaming. When I was younger, I played mainly strategy games, such as the Total War series and Civilizations, two games that taught me a large portion of my vocabulary at the time. Later after discovering online games that were free, I came to Toribash, first playing it when I was 10 years old under the alias methos319, a name based around a cheat code in the game Empire Earth. The account methos319, is now currently retired, meaning I only play on it to practice, or I don't play on it at all. methos319 initially had success with high end play at it's height in 2012, reaching #16 global and #1 in Aikido. I later left due to wanting to pursue different games.
In 2013, I made this account originally as a joke, but after eventually playing this game while AFK mining in EvE online long enough, I ended up taking it up competitively again, then reached new achievements I felt I was completely capable of if I dedicated myself, with the goal of course playing my favorite mod, Aikido. Within a few months I brought in a 75% overall win rate over 1000 games, a feat I had not achieved before.
Last month I decided to take a dip back into Toribash, not taking it seriously until a week ago. While playing Aikido Big Dojo, a mod I struggle with since I've built my entire playstyle around countering lifts, I met a few guys from Nitro, who all played extremely well and gave me a challenge in my fights. Zalf gave me the suggestion of joining Nitro, something I usually decline due to not wanting to have dedicate time to another game. Though, this has changed, due to me quitting World of Tanks. A bit of backstory, in World of Tanks at my peak I ranked #6 in Experience per battle (score) in the North American Leaderboard for recents. I'm also a player who is playing in Silver League currently, which is the eSports scene of World of Tanks, which after the season is done, I will drop World of Tanks completely.
Anyways, continuing on, I've decided to return to Toribash, and also have decided to strive back for my former ranks of hovering around 100-300 global, and #1 in Aikido.
Currently in wake of my inactivity, and with the Steam release, my ranks have adjusted down to 2496 global , and 98 in Aikido, and the few games I've played over the past year have adjusted my win rate down to 73%. But fear not, I'm shaking off all that rust, and have started getting scores I feel are acceptable, pulling win rates of 70%+. I'm currently grinding back for my high ranks playing Aikido and Big Dojo mainly, I do play some Lenshu and Greykido every once in a while as well.
Due to formatting my computer 4 times since the last time I've truly played, I have none of my spar or parkour replays, or many replays at all. Though I could produce one for you if you feel is necessary tomorrow if you guys would like. I'm also trying to get in contact with a few players I used to know over Skype, asking if they still have our spar and parkour replays. Below I've added a few replays that I do have since I've reinstalled Toribash a month ago.
Also if you feel my username is not what you would like to see in Nitro, I will gladly change it.
Thank you for your consideration.

Sure, I'm currently talking to an old friend of mine who is getting me the replays, afterwards I'll find you in-game if that's alright with you.
EDIT: I have to practice today for a match we have later this week with my team, I'll find you later tonight or tommorow, sorry for the delay.
