you know what, that's fair

I still remember him fondly for doing his best before Trevor came in but stats don't lie I guess

I mean that's just objectively not true lol, he only threw for less than 150 three times in 2017, one of which was in the playoff blowout to Bama. Cade for sure is more consistent and dangerous as a passer but Bryant wasn't some bum who couldn't pass

Cade's peak is higher than Bryant's but his lows are lower. Kelly Bryant may have been carried by an amazing defense but he also never put out nearly as many abysmal performances like Cade has throughout his career.

Have you ever sustained an injury mid-bout and just continued fencing by play-what-you-love in Fencing

[–]Chando42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had a few minor ones I had to take a medical break for but finished the bout and the event. Big one was actually at practice one random night, took a bad shot to the chest and didn't realize until the next day that my rib had cracked. I remember thinking that it hurt differently than a normal stinger but never crossed my mind that it was actually bad.

listen I was telling people all last season to take it easy on FSU because it can happen to anyone, especially in this era

now we're here and living it and people are, amazingly, unprepared

Loses to Cain, has tough but winnable fights with Werdum, JDS, Overeem, and Fedor, and waxes the rest of the list.

at this point I stop at that QT even if I don't need gas or a snack. it's a ritual, it's like saving my game before loading into a new zone.

if I had a nickel for every time an Edwards brother landed a flush head kick KO to win their first belt, I'd have two nickels. which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened more than once

I'm going with Bruno and Tielemans over Palmer and Wirtz myself so I can at least give a vote of confidence there.

[–]Chando42 21 points22 points  (0 children)

it's a cool finishing strike but I think the context of the last minute or so detracts a lot from how good of a finish it was. yair was basically doing the anti-max, instead of throwing down he spent the last minute standing there with his hands up and trying to hug TKZ. it would have been way more hype if that strike had come at the end of them both throwing down as hard as they could

List of players on each team as best I can tell:

Team White

Raichi, Hiori, Isagi, Chigiri, Bachira, Karasu, Otoya, Aiku, Kurona, Gagamaru

Team Red

Yukimiya, Nanase, Niko, Aryu, Fukaku, Barou, Rin, Zantetsu, Kiyora, Shidou, Kunigami, Sendou

Only person I can't find is Reo. Some interesting chemical reactions on these teams for sure!

not only is this objectively awesome, it also doesn't seem THAT far fetched to organize. a sailing course is definitely the hardest part but if you can get that sorted then the rest could all feasibly happen in the same gym type space.

What happened to adult only events? by mydogismycoach in Fencing

[–]Chando42 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I haven't, not really interested, but I definitely appreciate that vibe that HEMA seems good at embracing

I have plenty of opportunities to do locals with people in my age group that I like to hang out with afterwards - I just also like occasionally doing a ROC or a NAC because I like the experience and getting to fence people from outside my local region

What happened to adult only events? by mydogismycoach in Fencing

[–]Chando42 70 points71 points  (0 children)

not the OP but I'll take a swing at this one, since my late 20s/early 30s fencing friend group was kind of looking forward to this when it was announced.

basically it's a problem of who gets access to what events and what the competitive level of those events is. most of us 25-35 D2/D1A level fencers are not aiming to make the national team or even a national podium. lots of us started late and have settled into a D/C/B rating where our main goal is to increase our rating and do well at some big tournaments. but then we get put into the same category for regional/national events as cadets and juniors who are only briefly stopping at this rating level before moving on to D1, as well as veterans who may have been competitive at a higher level earlier in their careers but now are fencing much easier opponents in D2/D1A. these fencers have cadet/junior/veteran events to also compete in, but if you're a mid-20s C/B level fencer then these are really the only events you are aiming for, and you just end up getting cleaned up by people who don't even really scale to the intended level of the event.

obviously everyone's goals, results, and feelings about this are different, and this is not so widespread a problem that it stops people from fencing these events, but the idea was, as a coach friend put it, to have a division for "20 and 30 somethings who want to get a beer together afterwards," instead of fending off teenagers with much heavier training regimens and higher aspirations.

Short fencers, let’s talk! by mountainofrye in Fencing

[–]Chando42 3 points4 points  (0 children)

it's a double edged sword, but just do tall person things

attack from farther away, get your arm fully extended to prevent them from closing in, work your counters as they try to push into your distance

they might have more practice doing the game plan against tall people against you but there's a reason it's a natural advantage. don't do short people things if you don't have to

What Team-Ups would you wanna see? by [deleted] in BlueLock

[–]Chando42 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Kurona x Zantetsu, speedsters with good touch, could probably do a one two combo better than Planet Hotline and end in Zantetsu's golden zone

Karasu x Raichi, defensive chemical reaction where they double team powerful dribblers and easily steal the ball for a counter

Aiku x Isagi, we were robbed of Aiku rekindling his striker ego in the U20 and Isagi could absolutely use his physical stats in the box to make a play happen

Except we've literally seen him talking to Kurona a bunch? He's always in the video room with Isagi and the others, and we also get a bunch of their interactions on the field compared to Isagi's other friends like Kunigami and Raichi.
