reaper88888 Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 Two questions: Where can I find out my damage output?And are there any cheap damage modifiers you recommend? Falcon Kick + Steel toed boots (+4 [bleep]! That hurt!) Shouldn't cost too much at a good store. :P On the original topic: Fighting over pointless things is, well, pointless. I'm only going to be serious in a situation where death/serious injury of myself, friends or family is a possibilty. And in that case, I'm not punching. I'm using a baseball bat. There is no meaning or truth in life but that which we create for ourselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdgedThesis Posted September 7, 2008 Author Share Posted September 7, 2008 Wow, I'm feeling pretty ignorant right now. People who've had experience with real fights have been saying that there's a high possibility of death, which I just couldn't imagine happening from a punch or kick. Well, if you take it too far, obviously that's a possibility--but still. Like I've told you, I haven't been in a real fight before. Only spars. I thought the only difference is that instead of being kicked or punched once, the opponent would keep coming in an actual fight. Wasn't advocating the violent part of fighting. Was just mentioning that it's a thrill. And a test. I would expect a bruise or two, maybe a broken jaw or loose teeth--but not death as punishment for failing that test. But I don't want to go among mad people!Oh, you can't help that. We're all mad here..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ember3579 Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Two questions: Where can I find out my damage output? And are there any cheap damage modifiers you recommend? Answer to question 1) How easy is it for you to break bones/knock back an opponent with a strike? That's your damage output. Answer to question 2) Brass knuckles, sword, lead pipe, pencil, anything that can either focus your force to a point/line or adds to that force. Other than that, I got nothing. Oh, and for the record, don't act like an [wagon]. I used those terms because that's what I'm used to, and it is easier to type. Enough said.

Furah Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 I have been in a couple of fights, only had an adrenaline rush 3 times, and I still wish people could settle some things over fights. In fact the only reason I do contact sparring in karate is because it is the closest thing I can get to to an actual fight. I have not yet had a reason to aim for the solar plexus, temple, groin, neck, or stomach, so that has greatly reduced the chances of me killing/badly wounding someone. Luckily they have only ever lasted 1 punch (the non karate fights that is). Almost broke someones nose, twice. Another time the guy was complaining a week later when I hit him in the face :lol: Steam | PM me for BBM PIN Nine naked men is a technological achievement. Quote of 2013.

warri0r45 Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 I agree with jack. It's not at all cool when some poor bastard gets knocked out by a king hit and they die or go into a coma when they hit their head on hard concrete. It's not at all cool when a group of people gang up on you and bash you absolutely senseless, leaving you in hospital for weeks, possibly leaving you brain dead. There's almost no such thing as a one-on-one fight these days unless it's completely staged. I mean seriously, I know what many of you guys are talking about seems harmless enough and some of you are having a joke about it, but the few cases that go wrong aren't pretty at all. Some are downright tragic and senseless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than that, I got nothing. oh comon now thats cheating My list is for those cases where cheating is a non-issue, as it is your or someone else's life riding on whether you can win or not. Otherwise, the standard rules of equality apply. As in, if your opponent has something, you're allowed an equivalent of your choice. For example, if they have a sword, you can get a metal baseball bat or something similar, something lesser, or nothing at all. See how it works?

Agunimon979 Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 of course i understand that, but if someone challenges you to a fistfight its a little unfair to pick up a pipe and start beating them till their bones break Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zierro Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 of course i understand that, but if someone challenges you to a fistfight its a little unfair to pick up a pipe and start beating them till their bones break That's what he's saying. To only "cheat" when your life is in danger and when it's not, then you're allowed to use something equal to what your opponent uses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oy_the_Great Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 I often am part of the organisation of parties, so I'm familiar with the local sad drunk chavs trying to pick a fight. Although I'm far from a muscular guy, most of the time I can easily talk those guys out of there. Some dudes don't take my often sarcastic remarks, and become aggressive, but usually they're too drunk to land a punch, and I just stand there with my mates, laughing at their pathetic attempts. But one day, this guy, pretty big, didn't try to punch me, but just took me up (I'm 6', so not that small) and tossed me a couple of meters away. Man, that was unexpected. Took a beer from a friend of mine, threw it right in his face and taunted him a bit. Now, I expected to get kicked, or punched, or whatever he had in store for me, but he just wobbled a little, and walked away. That was the closest I ever got to an unwanted fight. When I'm on camp with the chiro (= kinda like scouts) though, the elder members and the leaders often have these little wrestling contests. I used to suck at it, but because of my interest in MMA, I learned some useful tricks: arm locks, grappling techniques,... and even though I only weigh 135 pounds, I still often win, just because I'm fast enough and have some tricks up my sleeves :) Bill Hicks[/url]":dhj2kan9]Since the one thing we can say about fundamental matter is, that it is vibrating. And since all vibrations are theoretically sound, then it is not unreasonable to suggest that the universe is music and should be perceived as such.

Rsdude099 Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 If I have to fight, I'll use any parts of my body that I know how to use (Feet, fists, arms, fingers, legs, knees, back too maybe). Lots of things you can do to put your opponent down quickly, which is usually what you want to do, as someone else said earlier. (Pressure points, kicks to the face, etc) Pretty much done with rs now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
