Real time game mode
I've had this idea for a while, and I know that most of the suggestions don't get implemented but I might as well share it with some people.
So what we have right now is that Toribash is a turn-based game. In multiplayer in classic mode for example you get 20 seconds to click your joints how you want to the n you skip 10 frames, and it happens again. The numbers are different for various mods, but the concept is always the same.
My idea is that instead of getting to make moves during the freeze time, you get an option to toggle a gamemode where the replay is going at a slow speed (if we take classic.tbm, we have 20 reaction time per 10 turn frames, so the replay would need to play a turn frame each 2 seconds), and you can click joints at any time during your match. Before the game starts, you get 20 seconds to make some sort of an opener. Joint movements get applied after the counter reaches the beginning of the next frame (so you have 2 seconds to adjust a certain joint if we go with our example). This way, you can allow for quicker and more intense matches, since you see what your opponent is going for and vice versa.
Yet again, this would be hard to implement and probably won't be implemented any time soon, if at all, but I just wanted to share some thoughts and maybe give you some new ideas to think about. Thanks for taking your time to read this, peace.

Scripts nope, you'd need "scripted mods" to make it work. (dev on that was ditched years ago)
Modding, to a degree; however all it'll take is someone with a shitty computer to kill it. Crap computers are usually the reason when the turn ends for both players you end up sat waiting for it to happen. People tend to blame the servers, 90% of the time it's just because one of the machines is taking ages to finish sending it's turn info.
(server lag does happen, but not as often as people claim)
Due to the annoying turn lag issue etc etc I honestly think the best solution for now is what dash & dab did. Short tf + short timer. Finding the magic numbers where it feels right may take a bit of trial and error though.

We found 3-4rt and 10-15tf seem to work pretty well. You can still get moves in and the match doesn't take an age to finish either.

This might work better if u add a small force behind each player. Something closer to jousting but much less momentum. This way u dont have to concentrate so much on moving fwd (just move the legs so u get a bit more momentum) and u can focus on the impact point where u hit the opponent.
Try twitching a jousting.tbm, lower the push momentum, distance, height and try the frames u tested. It might work a little better i think.

Honestly with low turn frames it's incredibly easy to comeback, even with little reaction time.
