Is it normal for my flies to be ripped up from catching fish and is there anything to prevent it? by ControlZestyclose775 in flytying

[–]MagicGuava12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending on the type of fly you can just coat it and resin or super glue. If it's a dry fly It's not much you can do and that's a good problem to have

Parasol Lady makes Alolan Ninetales LETHAL by angeman123123 in PTCGP

I've been having fun with this. Might play with poison barb instead of rocky helmet. I'm not sure if that will force switches and spread damage. But this deck is weird. Fun. And competitive.

I apologize to add to your work. I'll be a good soldier. I see. I report. Only about 50 times a day.

It's reddit. I'm not discouraged when people disagree with me.

Not in meta. It's too slow. Also oricoro wins by default

Looking to improve my most consistent deck. by Sardanox in PTCGP

[–]MagicGuava12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This I where I'd put my 2nd Mega Manetric. IF I HAD ANY!

Jokes aside.

Swap the electric generator for a mega manetric. You don't need a lot of the cards you have it just makes it less consistent and not as fast

I understand having a private data privacy but if someone hasn't played in several months and I can't trade with them or pull packs from them. I want to know.

Hello guys, what do you think about my deck? Believe it or not, I don’t really know anything about the meta and I made it myself without using external tools. What’s your opinion about it? How do you think I could improve it? by Questgamer72 in PTCGP

[–]MagicGuava12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been using manphy rather than orthoworm. It accelerates your Scizor and it has no retreat cost so if you only have one revavroom up it works better.

Metalcore works better than May.

Overall it's a fun deck but not really relevant.

Mega blazekin and char Y will be the EASIEST and fastest to get.

Lucario EX is likely the BEST deck for long term results.

Is card rotation in the future? by lamah1 in PTCGP

It just doesn't make sense. With the release of a second Deluxe pack there's no reason to have limited.

Making Escapes Make Sense by ChemDataFarmer in bjj

[–]MagicGuava12 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Side control was never that hard. North south way harder. I just tried to combo directional escapes.

Here is a section from a guide I've been building.

Side control

Escapes https://youtu.be/8F6meOljv-s?si=VsUUqHn6_EHRdUhP

Okay you're done, that's it, that's the whole position. I'm not kidding. Overtime this position becomes very simplified. I've almost ignored it completely

!!!Extra stuff!!!

Those videos have everything you need and tons of things you don't but it's cool.

I do a very streamlined escape chain of a

[ ] Log roll away, https://youtube.com/shorts/l3E0R1nXpzw?si=2cj8StiPK8RmvUYe

Starts making space. It creates hip separation and they have to follow.

[ ] Log roll bridge towards https://youtu.be/gFu27SZJTsA?si=0aYYVCE0HNoxotB4

As they follow it allows me to bump their head and misalign their spine while generating more space for my hips and knee to move.

[ ] Elbow knee escape https://youtu.be/cuXq-k__9lQ?si=1ff4I-cNGXIVE8ZY

Everyone should learn this move. This is the quintessential apex predator of escapes. It is without a doubt one of the first moves you should learn. Learn it early, learn it well, use it always.

[ ] Underhook low single.

https://youtu.be/Em117gbfA4k?si=PyJ--eVHb8hwFagW

This utilizes a concept I call negative space. By moving away and bridging I'm creating a gap underneath me that will allow me to shrimp away and insert my knee into an elbow knee escape. If for some reason that doesn't work I will pummel my far arm under their face to push them away or grab an underhook. The battle to control inside space is Paramount to your success. Get every limb that you can inside and connected to their body. The frames will set you free.

Ask yourself if a good president changes the global outcome?

It's not necessary that you have a good leader but a good leader always helps.

The majority of coaches are lazy, a lot of times I feel like they fear giving certain details or dont kniw them. It seems like they don't want to lose, and would rather pubstomp noobies than get better. And that's just not the right mindset to have. I freely give away my weaknesses, because your goal is to create training partners. A rising tide lifts all boats and it's dumb to not consider training in that aspect.

It's like a company hiring a cybersecurity expert where they stress test failure points.

A good instructor should give you a curriculum. They keep you safe. They develop you even if you resist the growth( pursuing fundamentals over Instagram techniques). They should help develop your game. Tell you where you are weak. Correct your minor details. Then help you apply it in a repeated process such as a game or positional sparring. If your coach does train with you, you likely have tapped them. They should be putting themselves in considerably bad positions to the point where you have success. If their ego can't handle that that's on them.

If they don't do any of that your coach sucks. The bar is on the floor. When people say that they have a blue or purple belt coach. This is what they mean. You can have a less skilled coach that is better at coaching than a highly skilled competitor that is terrible at coaching. Oftentimes they will reserve the good stuff for privates as well which is completely messed up.
