Probably a game in closed alpha/beta that MZ is legally obliged to not spoil.
Nah. I just know where to look.

Holy crap, why did I not start watching One Punch Man earlier? This is the best thing.

Man, I am terrible at that game. Although I've had far too many kills from my own side for no reason, I think shots clip or something.

What do you mean shots clip or something? Like go through cover and stuff?

Like playermodels clip into each other. I've been friendly fired for far too many times when I am prone, while a guy directly behind me standing will somehow one-shot me.

My god...

Medium galaxy, tough AI. In a galaxy with the Yor, Iconians, Krynn, Thalans and the Korath, I chose the Drath Legion.

And holy hell does the Drath kick ass. It was painfully slow in the early-game, with me almost bankrupting myself. I got a decent haul of planets in the planet gold rush and planned on taking Krynn territory. Eventually, the economy kicked in and I could afford to start thinking about my fleets. Defensive fleets galore on my planets.

After I picked off three minor races, the Korath decided to butt some heads with the Krynn.

CUE WAR PROFITEERING

Like a tsunami, I was being flooded with credits in additions to the other tsunamis of credits from my cash-cow planets.

Then both the Iconians and the Thalans joined in the fight. MORE MONEY, YAY!

All sectors were booming with my military finally outpacing the Korath. That's when I figured I might as well join in and grab a few planets for myself. Korath didn't stand a chance against my strategically designed cruisers and corvettes.

When Korath had few worlds left, the Yor declared war on the Krynn. At the same time, the Iconians and the Thalans signed peace treaties with the Korath. I forged an alliance with the Iconians and the Thalans while I still reaped the rewards of the Korath wars. Although that didn't stop the Thalans from occasionally declaring war on the Iconians, forcing me to have a stern talking with the former.

The Krynn were badly losing. Even when I sold a few of my older warships to them along with defensive technology, they still couldn't keep up. Eventually they surrendered to the Yor. (Wait, you'd rather surrender to your mortal enemy than your closest ally? What a dick!)

And that's when the Iconians had had enough with the Yor. Both started fighting across the galaxy, with my front yard as the battlefield. Oh well, at least I got to sell refreshments on the sidelines while profiteering.

In any case, I merely bode my time. Eventually, my military power was greater than all others' combined. The Yor didn't last very long and I took a sweet Diplomacy Victory.

How does war profiteering work?  When I try to sell ships to people they usually give me a negligible amount of credits in return.

I was getting bored with playing Aikido, so I decided to try out Lenshu for the first time.

I dodged my opponent's clumsy punch, causing him to fall down. Now at his side, he was in a position where it would be easy for him to kick me. I easily read his kick, and blocked it by punching him in the shin, doing an intimidating amount of damage from the forceful collision.  I kicked him in the chest with my right foot, sending him away from me. The timer ran out with me being the victor.

I won several more matches with equal untouchability, when I had a brief exchange with one of my opponents.

Opponent: "Tomato, where'd you learn those moves?"

Me:  "I've watched The Matrix."

How do you even stop from falling over after doing anything.
I only ever have brief and unsatisfying struggles before someone hits the floor.

I'm usually jumping around. If I fall backwards, I do a handstand and kick with my legs. Still, I have found that it is useful to make sure that you're at least leaning towards your opponent a little before you make a particularly fast strike. That way, if you fall forwards, you can at least use it to your advantage by extending your hips to jump forwards.

I killed a guy with a bow and a spear to death only using a club, then I chopped him up into little bits for eating, I received no injuries. c:

Man. My first ever online match, I did a frontflip over my opponent and kicked them face first into the ground from above.
However, I have not been able to do anything to win a match ever since.
It's so tough. :P

A lot of people say that. I kinda flail around and try to grab them. Then hope I can get them to the ground with me on top, usually with wriggling my hips and glutes, which obviously never works.

I think I need to get Toribash. This shit sounds pretty amazing.

It's more fun to watch Toribash videos than actually playing it if you ask me.

That shit is hard.

I play mods like MISERY for fun. Hard isn't a problem.

Toribash has this problem though, since if you don't learn after you get a high belt you'll get wrecked by all the skilled QWOP maniacs.

It's not too hard,once you learn about what contracting and expanding certain parts does you get moderatly better.

Though that tutorial robot is tougher then most players in my experience.
