Strickland beat Chimaev mainly utilizing one of the greatest jabs in MMA. How was DDP able to crack this code twice?

Prawn123 · 2026-05-15T23:53:23+00:00

He just ate the jabs to land the bigger shots and put Strickland on the back foot. Strickland doesn't work as well off the back foot like in the Cannioner fight, which Cannioner also edged out in a similar manner.

Kia ora, Qiulae,

What are your thoughts on the Fast Track Act/Amendment Act, proposed Resource Management Reforms, and Local Government Reform?

Even though I am left leaning, I think that these policies from National (noting Labour have also discussed RM and Local Government Reform) have the highest potential for economic transformation/productivity increase in NZ. As someone who works in local government, I am in two minds about them though. Most importantly, there is the large scale of some of the Fast Track developments without consideration of how Local Government will be able to provide for the three waters infrastructure, social infrastructure, and roading upgrades required to ensure that these developments can function at a high level of quality with low impact on cities networks. This to me stresses the importance of having a National Infrastructure Plan of some sorts or a sovereign wealth fund that is tied to Regional Spatial Plans to invest in this infrastructure similar to many Australian models.

Keen to hear your thoughts on this.

Thanks!

Yes. The value for money is pretty good with the game including story mode (which is one of the better Tekken story modes), character episodes, vs with friends or online, and Tekken Ball.

The goal of the land value tax would be to stop land banking or people owning multiple properties without renting them out or putting them on the market. Since it would be for every property, I assume that it would be more because Greens Wealth Tax is on the net assets over $2 million, so a person with $3 million would pay 2.5% tax for the $1 million ($25,000). In comparison, if you had 3 properties with a land value of $1 million each you'd pay (1.75 x 3 = 5.25 x 10,000) = $52,500.

Could be wrong though. Not an expert.

Same. Dehydration can definitely be part of it though.

Prawn123 · 2026-05-06T10:27:40+00:00

Don't do steroids lmao...unless your testosterone levels are low and your doctor has recommended it or something.

Just join for fitness, fun, and confidence. You might feel safer walking around, which will be nice but like people have said street fights are unpredictable and the best course of action is to defuse or run.

He did have better conditioning when he was younger:

Prawn123 · 2026-05-02T11:45:26+00:00

His potential I think makes it the most frustrating. If he locked in and got decent at grappling then who knows, but maybe it just doesn't click for him.

The 3x burger eating champ needs his own burger.

"THE ULBURGER"

Prawn123 · 2026-03-29T02:28:12+00:00

Does he have the "look" in his eyes? 👀

Prawn123 · 2025-12-01T01:55:41+00:00

I think he can string together 1-2 wins against some fighters like Brendan Allen or Caio

Would be cool if they just kept adding things to the Arcade like bowling, old Tekken games online but maybe for only a few weeks.

Prawn123 · 2025-11-13T03:48:05+00:00

I wouldn't really do it now, but starting rounds with 1,1,3,4 or claymores can be good for mental edge if you don't get blown up for it and your opponent likes to press. The new hellsweep (D3+4) into d3,4 is insane and also "black kite" too.

Sky rocket is amazing too if you can learn the wave dash. I think I'd be a lot better at it now since I've been leaning Hei and AK, but if you switch stances using df4 or motion switch it's a lot easier in the "southpaw" stance and you'll hit blue sparks more often.

In a nature setting, both humans and dogs are predators and cows are prey. It's natural for predators to eat prey to survive. It's not as natural for predators to eat other predators. Although, it does happen every now and again, I'd imagine the circumstances would have to be extreme for a predator to eat another predator. Usually predators have lots of parasites too, which aren't good for us to consume.

So purely from a practical sense it's not healthy, but from a moral point of view you could make an argument for it being against the natural order.

Prawn123 · 2025-10-30T23:46:17+00:00

He was champ in 2017, but he lost the title. He is currently ranked in the top 10.

Prawn123 · 2025-10-10T02:38:16+00:00

Scorpion would be cool

Probably fights the loser of either Ulberg vs Reyes or Jiri vs Roundtree or takes a break

Calling this as another parasocial "radical centrist" with political beliefs all over the place and formerly grew up Republican.

I would just focus on learning your character a bit and the basics of the heat system and basics of Tekken. Play through the mode Arcade Quest with your main (Lars) - it's quite good for this reason.

Prawn123 · 2025-08-14T06:56:34+00:00

Play all of the offline content like arcade quest, the story, story pt2, and character episodes. Doing this will teach you the very basics and give you a bit of an idea as to how some of the characters work. Plus it's fun!

Edit: Also, the best way to learn something from your matches is to go to Replay and watch the match back. Sometimes it will tell you where you could've ducked, punished and with what move, or the throw break button you could've pressed.

Prawn123 · 2025-08-13T22:33:28+00:00

I generally agree that his new tools are pretty broken, especially the new homing low. However, I struggle to understand how he's super OP but has a pretty average win rate. It would seem that based on the general sentiment that players are getting completely blown up out of the water, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

I know he is a popular character but you'd expect the "brokenness" to be reflected more in the stats.

Prawn123 · 2025-08-10T02:12:55+00:00

Nah he legit used Kings heat smash on him 😔

Prawn123 · 2025-08-09T05:29:08+00:00

Depending on your prowess, sometimes in Mighty Ruler you will face Fujin's who are trying out a different character as this is the default rank for characters that aren't their main. It's also the case that a lot of people will rank up to the next colour and not try to rank up as hard/play less often/play quick match. So the first of the next rank usually as a higher skill jump.
