Martial Arts — Rhythm League

MARTIAL ARTS

Martials Arts means playing a level in a way that emphasizes combat styles of movement. Show off a real-life kata, or channel your favorite stylish action movie. However you play, you should look like your targets are threats and you are doing serious damage to them. Don't just hit, destroy.

Scoring

You’ll receive 1-10 points in each category, with 5 being “typical among other entries in this event.” That score is then multiplied by a percentage weight. Higher percentages make a category more important to your total. The best possible score is 100%.
