True true true,

Anyways wasnt this thread about osis tips?

OSIS:

Set straight,
watch the bag for as long as you can, but also spin.
dont catch too low, dont catch too high
crank ankle lots
drill clippers lots
like a "scooping motion" like when you scoop icecreams
when you start to learn osis, its good to go late as possible, but not too late. Dont go too quickly.

:D


My osis record is 17 by the way, although I have also hit at least once: five fearless>drop osis - and the set was perfect - it wasn't like the last move was sketchy and I had to work hard for the osis or anything. There are definitly 5 add moves that are easier for me than osis :P

When I noticed that more than 50% of my drops came from an osis attempt I schooled the hell out of osis for months. Now osis variations make up the majority of my game.

I'd just like to add that, with all the confusion as to whether it should be osises or osii, I think oses makes the most sense. Osis sounds and is spelled like thesis, and thesis -> theses so osis -> oses. Just my 2 cents on a topic you didn't ask about. :lol:

For shame!

Cod, WTF??? 6 osi and 7 tripless.

Kenny would be rolling over in his..... well bed I guess. But still, your guys should not even be trying for tripless if you can't even do at least 10 osi(I got that from some BAP member, can't remember who said it off hand).
I have my own style. I'm toe to toe player. Noone is allowed to tell me how should I play :lol:. I simply hate Osi! They are to hard! Osis should have 6 or more adds. For me (my style) Osis isn't a basic move. For me Plo is a basic move. I can hit 40 consecutive Plos but I don't tell anybody that there is a shame not to can hit 10 Plos. Holy crap - my English sucks :D.

Just to be clear, I'd like to point out that Damon is speaking nonsense.

Oh, thanks :D.

Jeremy, in Poland noone speaks "Osi" for plural Osis. We use a name "Osisy", wchich is spelling like "osisee". It's just a Polish inflection :). I'm preety sure more than 50% of Polish players have never even heard the name "Osi" :).

Thanks again everyone; I'm hitting osis a lot more than I used to (still only mabye one clean one in ten tries), but it is moving in the right direction.
Today is what you make it. So, like, don't screw up the recipe. ^^

I couldn't really do Osis until last fall. And I even thought to play completly without Osis all together! But then I started to drill them and they feel a lot easier now, but I still drill them every session. Though I sometimes drop a Osis for no reason :? My record is now 30 Osis b2b.

If I really really want (but I usually don't want because Osi sucks :P) I can hit Osis b2b.

Another curiosity: My Osi record is the same as Atomsmashers record - 6 :D.

I LOVE TOE 2 TOE GAME!
