The thing is, how exactly does one learn to apply a technique, when one doesn't know the technique even exists.

Take diamons for example. He started maybe... 7-8 months later than I did, but through collective knowlege of k-style growing, and a little bit of determination, he is now on par with me, cerb, and the rest of the Gladiator crew. How he gained all the knowlege that he knows now I have no clue, but it definately helped him along to know it.

A month or two ago, seeing double butterfly was rare. Now its pretty common place. Instafall, after showing everyone else how to do it, spread like the plague. If you can remember WAAAAY back, me and tehplague (i miss you!) experiemented with blocking and massiving techniques. These became THE definition for massive styles and blocking styles. Recently I found there is even a way to use massives so it is unblockable from all sides (no thanks to you cerb X_X) when used the correct way.

Speed is defined by style which is how you use your techniques. Techniques and styles are two seperate entities in gunz due to its strange nature. There are 3 known styles...

Basic Style : Using techniques without regard to your opponents status (location, action, and demenor)
Counter Style: Using techniques directly with regards to your opponents status.
Manipulation Style: Using techniques to force favorable opponents statuses.

Each of these styles can be used at any time based on your knowlege and skill level at the game. Manipulation can range from forcing a stun block by skyblocking into a butterfly, to forcing your opponent to turn around, exposing his or her back. Cerb uses about 90% manipulation and 10% counter now (from what ive seen). I use about 70% counter and 30% manipulation.

In gladiator there are a numorous amount of techniques that can be used in any match, and almost always are used.

Legslash, skyblock, groundblock, skyslash, reverse massive, skybreaker, groundbreaker, shieldbreaker, instakill, instafall, butterfly, double butterfly, voidstep, quickslash, double slash, stalk, extended massive, perfect gaurd...

Thats the ones off the top of my head.
