01 / THE GUIDE
Turn‑Based Joint Control
Each character’s limbs are divided into joints, and every joint can be set to one of four states. By selecting states for all joints during a turn, players define the motion for the next frame, creating a unique fighting style each match.
The turn‑based nature means both opponents set their joint states before the simulation runs, allowing strategic planning and precise timing. This system produces highly varied and unpredictable combat outcomes.
- Experiment with different joint state combinations in practice matches to discover effective move patterns.
- Observe opponent joint choices to anticipate their next move and counter accordingly.

Unlimited Avatar Styling
Players can alter body colors, apply textures, add flames, choose hairstyles, and more, giving each fighter a distinct visual identity. Customization options are not limited by a preset list, encouraging personal expression.
These visual changes have no impact on combat mechanics, allowing players to focus on aesthetics while maintaining a level playing field.
- Use bright colors or unique textures to make your avatar easily recognizable in chaotic fights.
- Save multiple custom skins to switch between them for different tournament themes.

Knockout Events
The Event Squad hosts daily knockout tournaments where participants battle until only one remains. These events provide a structured arena for testing skills against a broad player base.
Winning or placing in these tournaments can raise a player’s reputation within the community and offers a regular competitive schedule.
- Join the tournament early to familiarize yourself with the current participant pool.
- Review past tournament replays to learn common strategies and avoid common pitfalls.

Built‑In Environment Editing
Toribash includes a Mod Maker that lets users alter both the arena and character models. Changes can range from simple texture swaps to complex geometry adjustments, expanding the game’s visual and tactical variety.
Mods created with this tool can be shared with others, fostering a collaborative ecosystem where new challenges and settings continuously emerge.
- Start with small texture edits before attempting full geometry changes to learn the tool’s workflow.
- Test your mod in a private match to ensure it behaves as expected before publishing.

Trading encourages community interaction and lets players acquire desired customizations without spending real money.
