I was thinking that maybe Japanese Geta Sandals would be a very good inclusion for a TKA's arsenal. For those of you who don't know what Geta are, they are wooden sandals with wooden blocks, vertically aligned, on the bottom of the sole, called 'Ha' meaning 'teeth'.

They are probably most well known from a video game called Tekken where Heihachi Mishima (or something like that) wears them.

Here is a link to an explanation and some pictures of them:

I think it would be reasonable to think that a TKA would be able to weild a pair of knucklers and a pair ofGeta weapons at once, of course with an even larger HAM cost. Yes, it may cost about 1100 HAM to use KD with them both on but I still think they would be a good addition to a TKA's weapons, considering we only have one currently. And they are just so cool.

What do you all think?

"Geta Weapons" -- How is this shoe a weapon? and.. how in gods name would you run, let alone BURST run in this shoe? hehe. I think they have weapons in mind that would fit better as a tka, imo.

It's an actual martial arts weapon, when you get kicked with them, and the entire blow is concentrated through that narrow space occupied by the edge of the piece of wood, it hurts.

And about how to run in these shoes, how can someone get slashed at with a sword, bladed knuckles, shot a million times, be brought back to life through cloning, etc.

Its a game, everything isnt as it is in real life, use your imagination.

I think for style reasons alone these would be a cool addition to the game. It's going to be really hard slipping a second weapon for TKAs past anyone, though.

Geta Sandals would make a great addition to the arsanal of a TKA. Having another weapon for us would make things a little more interesting. Perhaps even add a blade to the toe or something? Either way we deserve some new weapons and this is a one that I would love to see added.

That is by far the stupidest looking pair of kicks I've ever seen. The wouldn't wear them if their damage was 500-2000 with 0.001 speed.

They are the Samurai Jack shoes. They would be a need addition, but they would probably be hard to impliment as they would have to raise your character above the world slitly to see the them. but this would be neat... now all we need are Gi's

Gi's would ROCK! Even a saum (kung-fu) would work.
I think we definitely need something to make us look more martial artist like.

Ever try to kick with a flack jacket on? =)

I would love that!

Samarai Jack! ChoooKaaa!

Ya mainly I was thinking of them because basically its hard for us to look really martial arts-esque, and if we do then any old commando or BH can also so I thought add these in and make em a TKA weapon so only we can use them. It might look weird for someone with composite armor helmet and army camo pants and all that to be wearing Geta. I have a pair of them myself (which I quite enjoy :smileyhappy and they basically strengthen your legs a lot and give you better balance (when not wearing them because, yes, they are tricky to walk around in, and fight in.But let's face it, we are Master martial artists, we can do it!)

There is a large number of TKs that are either Trandoshans, and Wookies, and these races can't wear shoes.
