ANATO-MYACHI

by Crazy Ivan

Alright, so many of you who follow us on Facebook (and have for a while) will remember this graphic.  It's something that I made up a while back as a reference for Myachi players.  Sometimes it can get pretty confusing explaining a trick or combo to somebody if they can't see you (for example, you're explaining it online or over the phone) so I set this up for those players who are newer to the game and might not know what you mean when you say "catch it in a Bodyguard", for instance.

The chart above also has another interesting use.  It is also a "map" of one of the toughest moves in the game, the "Myachi".

The Myachi is an infamous trick that nobody has ever hit.  It's actually a combo rather than a trick (see The Difference Between a Trick and a Combo) and it includes a total of 48 stalls.  The idea is that you stall the Myachi on every part of your body without ever hitting the same spot twice.

You'll notice that with only a few exceptions, all of these stalls can be done both on the right and left side.  To pull of the Myachi, you'll have to hit them on both sides.  With the exception of the melon stall, the faceplant, the Neo and the back stall, everything else has to be done strong side and weak side.  Also, to do it right, you have to have a toss in between each stall (in other words, don't just place it on your instep from the Wristwatch).

If you can hit the Myachi, you will be the first.  If you can hit the Myachi and get it on video (one solid cut, obviously), let me know.  Monk and I have been laying Myachis on the line for several years for the person who hits this trick first.  So if you get it, not only will you earn legendary status amongst Myachi players, but you will also earn yourself a pretty sizable stack of Myachis.

PS If you would like a larger version of the above pic, email me and let me know.  I even have one cleaned up and designed for use as wall paper or as a Twitter or YouTube background.
