IOne thing you have to figure out is the idea of "priority" in toribash. What I mean is that to become the kind of player you would like to be you have to focus on a certain skill and then branch out as you approach a certain point. For example I did a horrible job of prioritizing myself when I started, I thought that I could spend a day playing aikido and then the next day sparring, and the next day on making replays and become good at all of them in no time. The reality was I made myself mediocre at all 3 but who wants to be mediocre. So to prioritize you have to firstly, waste no time, don' t spend an extensive amount of time on funmods, judo, mushu, messing around on single player, etc... You have to find your "passion." Do you want to be a good replay maker? Go check out ORMO in the organizations sub forum. Want to be a good sparrer/tricker? Go check out the replay sub forum and ask some qustions. Do you wanna be a moneymaking machine in multiplayer? Make sure you find a way to be good without playing like fatulbrown(jk love u fatul) and find your favorite mod. Personally if you want to be a good competitive player learn mods like rk-mma and wushu FIRST, although it may not be as fun dqing in the first 2 turns for the first week it will make you better at popular mods such as aikido, taekkyon, lenshu3ng, aikidobigdojo, ninjutsu etc.... Another thing is if you decide to be a competitive player try to formulate your own style of play, for example, in aikidobigdojo when I'm not playing for money and such my style is forcing the opponent to dq by key locks(elbows, knees, shoulders, wrists). Lastly make sure to take rank/losses lightly, if the loss made you a better than you won, rank is always fixable, if you lose your firs 100 games and win your next 500 then you won didn't you? Just keep that mentality and don't start dueling/betting until you are confident in your tc making abilities.
