As you position your parts, you’ll see a little shadow of your character that shows you where your current set of commands will send your body in the next turn.

As you’re doing that, you’re opponent is doing the same. In most modes, you get about twenty seconds to position your body parts the way you want to. For instance, “sternum back, left pec back, right pec forward, right elbow back” in turn one, and sternum back, left pec back, right pec forward, right elbow forward) in turn two should result in a right jab.

You have to position them in just the right way to get anything down. Each body part is like an individual unit in your average turn-based time strategy game. The game asks you to take control over each individual muscle group of the human body pecs, shoulders, elbows, hips, glutes, the whole thing. The goal here is to knock your opponent down, and/or rip off one of their limbs before they do the same to you. Even throwing a basic punch is a three-to-four step process. Actually, you have to take your time and plan things out. You can really take your time and plan out exactly how you want to attack. There’s tons of time to think in this game. It’s this “no time to think” thing that makes Toribash different. If your opponent knows what they’re doing (or even if they don’t) that may be it for you. Sit and think too long, and you’ll let your guard down. If you’re sitting around thinking about what to do next, chances are you’ve left yourself wide open and are already getting your butt kicked.

If you don’t know how to fight, well, your brain will probably try to give you some ideas on how to defend yourself as you get broken in multiple places. If you know how to fight at all, muscle memory will take over and your body will end up reacting before your brain has a chance to. In a real fight, everything is happening so fast that you barely get to think. Have you ever imagined yourself in a fight? It’s different from a real fight. The whole game is based around controlled chaos an equal mix of strategy and luck.
