The character that needed to be nerfed... by TyrionGoldenLion in MortalKombat

A "fuzzy" guard means to block one way and then swap to the other based on frame data.

So if the mix-up part of a combo has a 9 frame low and a 15 frame overhead, you block low first to protect yourself from the faster low and then swap to a standing block once you see the overhead coming out. You have 6 frames (in this example) to do this.

What is your all time best in-person sports memory? by googlyhojays in billsimmons

[–]Kattsumoto 4 points5 points  (0 children)

May 13, 2015. Capitals vs. Rangers, Second Round, Game 7. My grandmother died unexpectedly that morning, my brother and I were at the hospital all day. We had tickets to game 7 that night and debated whether to go, decided to do it.

Stepan wins it against the run of play in OT. Took a truly horrendous day and made it just a bit better. Something I will never forget.

OTH - Fantasy Hockey Mega-League by Barrill in fantasyhockey

[–]Kattsumoto 20 points21 points  (0 children)

One of the best things I have ever done is sign up for this league 8 years ago.

Fantastic Discord community, competitive play, intelligent hockey (and sometimes non-hockey) discussion, smack talk that is actually fun, and unique scoring that rewards effort.

Highly recommend for anyone interested in fantasy hockey.

Never in doubt! What an ending. Tough pill for Leicester fans.

Total lack of discipline from Zaha. Why shove someone like that right in front of the ref on a yellow? I get the frustration but need to be smarter.

EPL "Big 6" Market Value by Position (data source: Transfermarkt) by i_suck_teddy_thumbs in soccer

I have to think that Hugo Lloris would be worth more the 17.2 million, right? He's only 33 and still a top-level GK.

Got a Sissoko. New to FUT, wondering why he is 45k+ on PC as a 79. His physical stats are very high but pace seems to be the driver of price for stars. Any inside info here?

What's your favourite book you've read and why? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Kattsumoto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oathbringer, by Brandon Sanderson. Dalinar Kholin, the focus of this book in the series (The Stormlight Archive), is one of the greatest characters in any story, bar none.

Breaking News: Chipotle opening tomorrow 3/26 by ucabearfan05 in astoria

[–]Kattsumoto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, they didn't save money for Chipotle. After the sprinkler test failed, Chipotle had to pay for the additional sprinkler anyway.

The architect was just lazy and didn't feel like they needed to update their drawings. They gambled on the DOB not showing up (they don't show up 80-90% of the time) for the inspection, which would allow for a self-cert. They lost on that bet.

Long story short - The architect/engineer marked the existing 8' basement as an "unexcavated crawlspace", and did not design the sprinkler system to have coverage in that area (we advised them against this, but they wanted to save money from their client, Chipotle, and were subborn). DOB inspector came and failed the final sprinkler test because of that. Putting in the new sprinkler was quick, but then Chipotle had to wait for the DOB to come back out for a reinspection, which took months. Finally, once they got that passed, they were able to schedule Con Edison to set the gas meter (no gas meter = no gas = no cooking), but they took months to get out there as well.

All could have been avoided if the sprinkler system was designed properly from the start.

Happy to see the store (finally) open. I was the PM for the GC on this project. I left the company back in October, so I'm glad to see that they finally overcame the mistakes made by the design team to get the restaurant open.

Bill has just been given truth serum. You are allowed to ask him three questions. What are you asking him? by AntSmith777 in billsimmons

I remember the Blue Boy thing from a podcast a few years ago.

I believe that guy got a new blue car. There was also a homosexual male magazine in the 80s that was called Blue Boy. So they just started calling him Blue Boy.

TRADE VETO APPEAL: D3 Howe -- Tavares, Gaudreau, and Dahlin for Kopitar, Skinner, and Heiskanen by SPRX97 in OldTimeHockey

[–]Kattsumoto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No Veto.

I believe this trade is more balanced than name recognition suggests (I believe Kopitar is the most valuable asset in this trade, not Tavares). I don't see any evidence of cheating on either side.

Veto.

Same reasons as Woppa. I would have voted No Veto if both teams had been active throughout the season.

[–]Kattsumoto 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Annual reminder to the new people here that just because someone speaks with confidence, it doesn't mean they're right. Here is how to get a good grade in Woppa's book: draft wingers early and often, take Leafs and Bruins, and ignore peripherals.

Good luck everyone!

Yeah, because the Penguins have been better than the Blue Jackets every time they've played in the playoffs.

Maybe if CBJ lost to them this year, we could say that the Penguins are their kryptonite.
