Patience is for monks, not for martial artists.

While waiting for PoMA to update, I doodled my MC~

No enlightenment, just pure shenanigans. Zero inner peace (energy) and 100% chaos (qi). Can’t wait to beat the shit out of Ruo in the tournament (affectionately).

HIYAAAA 🥋👊💥

No relationship to the kitchen gadget or to any actual kung fu dojo.

Oh thank god a shorter game. After reviewing a pair of maximalist games, I could really stand to relax with this 84-page martial arts game instead of-- awwwww goddammit it's racist.

(deep breath in... deep breath out...)

Ok, so why have this as a full review and not just a drive-by?

The combat system is worth stealing. It's the fastest "real-world" martial arts system I've seen. By "real-world" I mean that it's using punches, kicks, evasion, blocks, and not energy blasts or flying or wire-fu. Having been in sparring matches, things happen FAST, and every other game I've seen has shifted toward the "complex" side of things rather than the "snappy" side of things. Slap-Chop goes for fast.

Your character has a set of techniques - jab, elbow, low-high roundhouse kick, double block, sidestep dodge, etc. They go in a grid on a card. None of the moves are better than each other, per se, but having a wider repertoire can be helpful, especially since you have three ranges ("in", "out", and "behind") and some of the techniques only work in one of those ranges. If you want to change ranges, you put a Footwork card face-down during a technique, and so does your opponent, and then you flip and you both move in the direction you chose. If you're already "out" or "behind" and you both move back, you end up circling each other out of kick range, which also provides a rest where you can restore some tokens.

Speaking of which: you all have a number of tokens (generally 10-15). Those tokens can be poker chips, checkers, glass beads, anything that can fit on the grid. You take turns calling out techniques and placing tokens on your grid. You attack, they defend; they attack, you defend; and so forth. Each attack technique has a set of defense techniques that work against it. If you don't have one of those defenses available, you get hit. You can put a token on the same technique you've already used, but you better not do it again, because your third placement automatically fails as your opponent has seen it twice before in this bout.

The result is that combat goes basically as fast as you can say "Hook kick!" "High block! Jab!" "Pass! Chop!" "Simultaneous block-strike!" and so forth. There are more details in terms of how many tokens you get, how refreshes work, how damage works, etc. All of those help to balance things out. I could definitely imagine adapting this system to a setting that does use higher-powered martial arts. You could do a rad DBZ game with this.

You might wonder how anything that's not 1:1 sparring goes. The setting says that no one fights two-on-one, but the rules say you just use the same mechanics, which means the lone person is going to lose real quick.

That's what's worth taking from the game. You can pass on the rest of it. No I'm not going to explain precisely how this martial arts game set in an Asia-esque setting is racist. You probably figured out half of it already just from that description. You do not need details. It is not novel or interesting in its racism. (Honestly, nothing ever is.) I'm not telling you where to get it either.

Instead, I recommend checking out Asians Represent - they'll give you the insider perspective on much better-known games and how well or poorly they handle a variety of Asian cultures.

Martial arts are the core of your life. You are nimble and evasive. And of course you like to punch stuff, POP ... POP. Then you might be a monk! I now... suprising... But maybe to get over the first shock you could use some of these "Monk" dice! These are still raw and need some sanding and inking.

So my friend got a thing and now I'm playing Live A Live (apparently it's pronounced "Live Alive," and that's another thing I just get to be corrected on because I read more than I converse)

I decided to tackle the chapter that I suspected would be the most annoying first (prehistory), and the one my friend found frustrating second (Far Future).

My thoughts so far:

-I was entirely right to start with prehistory because my annoyance at some of its elements was mitigated by having to figure out the combat system, which served as a solid distraction.

-I was going to name the character after Gau from FFVI, but he's actually not very high on my favorite character list because FFVI has 14 characters and most of them are not Blue Mages (which I find incredibly frustrating to play because I have to memorize what everything is immune to).

I named him Grok instead because it sounds like early phonetic nonsense but it actually has a meaning.

-I totally made a call about Zaki based on his combat animations that turned out to be right. Also both my friend and I were disappointed that the voices in this version (and the smiley face button -_-) revealed him to not be a tall hot girl.

-Upon hearing the voices in the next chapter I desperately searched for and found a way to change the dub language to Japanese because I'm not buying a guy with that name having Wheatley's accent.

-If it's not obvious by now I'm playing the remake by the fact that there's a voiceover.

-Currently trying to figure out whether Kato has an accent in Japanese because there *is* an accent in Japanese that often gets characters slapped with either a Southern US accent or the intrusive Wheatley accent. I can't hear one, but then again I don't speak Japanese.

-Also trying to figure out if everyone on this flying syringe is going to die as the story progresses or if I'm just paranoid seeing death-flags. I mean counting five sleeping people at the start when there is supposed to be six is suspicious, to be fair.

-Realized that this chapter could very well suck like my friend said if I don't pick a name for the playable character that makes me immediately and extremely attached to him despite the dumb hat, so I named him Baymini.

-The rec room broadcast is about as far as I am right now.

Character names so far:

Grok, Baymini

This is why the Bunnies and Burrows RPG (1976), as a modern rabbit simulation, was the first RPG to include a detailed martial arts system. The designers figured if you wanted to play an Iron Age bunny you could just play DnD.

a new day begins, and by 6 in the morning with the first sunrays Pan Xiao went to the woods in order to practice his martial arts, he always felt more comfortable around the nature anyway, a quite place with no one around to judge or disturb, except for the animals and plants just livin⁹, today Pan was practicing strenght and for that he decided to train using a boulder, giving gentle little punches to warm up, then he started increasing the speed giving consecutive punches making a lot of noise in the process attracting some curious bears who approaches, Pan then remenbers the last mission at the desert and how due to his weakness to heat he lost a fight that he could (probably win), he felt frustrated and embarassed, he didnt care if he won the challenge it didnt count as a victory for him, the more he fought about it the more strenght to his punches, enraged due to the embarassment he gave the boulder one final blow and then he gave a deep breath and decided to meditate to calm down, when the curious bears approached the boulder they noticed a large fist shaped hole at the boulder
