i mostly start with a head punch/grab and try to dq them, but if they counter it by grabbing your hand before you can, turn 'em over

The best way to win would probably be a hip grab. mainly because most of aikido is based on balance and that balance is almost always maintained through hip/glute changes. A hip grab would also allow for a lift that would be hard to counter.

But yeah, pros mainly use the relaxed noob clap just because it turns the game into a match of skill and not tactics.

I agree with Boonana you should wait for the first fram then counter it but in judo I think u should just rip them up and lift kick is my fav its epic

Funny. please tell me day and time and decap me in aikido. I assure you: 20 out of 20 games you will fail. I am not a bad player and know how physic's are in this mod.

Lol fedz.. i cant do et atm because my pc is dead and im using my laptop and it sucks as hell toribash runs 1 fps per sec O_o ;)

I usually do an asymmetrical relaxed clap with chest rotation to lift kick. Aikido isn't very much about the opener though. I've seen people win by purposely getting shoveled.

Too bad. I was hoping to be the 1st to know the secret of AIkido cap.

There's only three or so moves that actually make a difference in the match - the shovel, suplex, and kicklift. I'd say the suplex is the best, but it's the hardest to do and should be frowned upon more than it is currently. You don't see people purposefully suplex often since it is somewhat hard to learn, and the people that know how to suplex know better than to resort to it. If you want to be taken seriously, then just relax all and clap, or try something unorthodox like a zidane.

I love how people brag that it's so easy to defeat like a shovel, kick etc. It's like people think they are pr0 xD

But we are, hippy. and it's easy.
