Flames how has your lenshu3ng been going lately? Also- very nice to see WAPOW recruited nicejesus. From my short time with him he seemed both a great person and a solid player.
Any larger focus on being more competitive as a clan?

Yes we have been working on being more competitive and been practicing all the competitive mods instead of just playing ABD which we previously did. We still need to work on JudoFrac since we lost our star JudoFrac player but me and Lamby both are quite good at it so hopefully that will go smooth. We are planning to go far in clan league this year!
Lenshu has been going quite good. I play some games very well then others not so much lol. I'm not used to this playstyle so it'll take a bit more time getting used to but for the games I play well I do a lot better then how I previously played.
Nicejesus has been a pal for awhile and decided to apply a little while ago which we were very happy about lol
How have you been doing?
EDIT: you are a very experienced JudoFrac player right? I remember Krulls saying that you and him would play a bunch of JudoFrac back when he did

I'll speak very honestly despite it not being advantageous for competitive purposes. And this is the first time I'll go on record saying this:
It's a time waste to practice Judofrac. I knew coming into Clan League 2014, let alone 2015, that as an Alpha member I was the weakest of links outside of some known inactive players who weren't planning on participating. Anything TK related TIcux blows most players out of the water and we have BlueEvil. Anything aikido related I have the upmost faith in Imapirate's ability and Diamond's as well. Combine it with lenshu3ng where you have Winver, Diamond, TIcux, Odlov, you name it nearly every Alpha player is an unbelievable lenshu3ng player (especially Winver) and there was absolutely no way I would make a big impact in Clan League. But I care greatly about that competition, and I wanted to win one for myself for once, so I took it upon myself to learn Judofrac and play it relentlessly to be great at it and give some value to Alpha.
Here's what I learned: If you're good at grabbing mechanics, understand saves, these things that you pick up by dueling in ABD, that ability transfers over into Judofrac. A lot. On top of that: Judofrac has a word in it that's important- judo. It's luck based. When you only get 3 games or so of it in a league, you can't promise you'll win 3 of those games. You can't even promise you'll win 2. I LOST almost as much as I won. Arguably to players worse than me at the time. So if you're looking to improve in Toribash - you do it by playing mods that force you to learn the mechanics of Toribash as good as you can, and let it speak for itself in Judofrac. I might have actually played more Judofrac games than any player in Toribash, and yet was bested by other superior players who become superior by playing ABD and Lenshu3ng.
That's my humbling truth. I wish I learned it earlier, it took some clan mates of mine to help me understand that, and I'm a much better player for it now.

Hm yes that makes a lot of sense. When I first started playing JudoFrac I played with Krulls and we were around the same belt except I only played aikido and he only played JudoFrac and we went 1-1 a majority of the time. Thanks for that info I was actually planning on practicing to get better at JudoFrac but I guess that would just be in vain lol. So do you think the best plan would be have our best ABD players also play JudoFrac?

Again, this is the first time I'll ever say this. Again, it's bad competitively for this information. But again - I really want to change who I am and part of that is being gracious and as helpful as possible.
I think every player in Toribash should spam the absolute shit out of lenshu3ng/rk-mma and ABD. SPRINKLE in a LITTLE TK. That's it. 1 mod that's low turn frame little luck striking mod, and 1 mod that's about grappling grabbing manipulation of weight under pressure gravity and body control. And TK is an anomaly of itself which is a LOT more luck based than people want to admit.
I have seen really really good wushu players be just okay at lenshu3ng and dreadful at ABD/greykido/TK/ErthTK/judofrac/you name it and those people can't make it into the top 16 teams. I've seen really really good aikido players be just okay at ABD and just dreadful at greykido/lenshu3ng/rk-mma/tk/erthtk/judofrac.
I have YET to see a player who I respect in lenshu3ng as a very good opponent, I respect them in ABD, and think that I have some serious edge against them in any mod. Because if they've mastered their knowledge of self-control within those two trades, they can take on anyone in anything. Players like Imapirate, Diamond, TIcux, Mwah, Rai, Kristis133, Shmevin, etc. those players can take any player in any mod (I'm sure that list has changed, I've been inactive) and they can take anyone anywhere anytime because they learned Tori-Control. I sincerely think the best you can be in ABD and lenshu3ng is how you can dominate in the rest of the game.
Here's what I know: If I can win 45/55 against Diamond in ABD, and 45/55 percentages against Killer3366/mwah in lenshu3ng, there's not a mod or player I'd be afraid to touch. That would be my goal.
