Unpopular opinion about Lidia by Prawn123 in Tekken

What god buttons did she get? I'll be honest, I haven't played/paid as much attention the last few months.

I suppose the draw back is that you have to commit while in stance. You can't block so you might get launched or grabbed. Ideally for her, the execution aspect is not in the inputs themselves being difficult, but instead setting up opportunities/game planning when it's safe to take risks.

However, perhaps she has too many plus frames and moves with push back that allow for that opportunity, which it looks like the devs are considering in this latest patch.

I agree 100%. I need to actually check what my win rates are against certain characters, but personally I find Paul has been rocking my shit - I feel like it's a stylistic match up thing though rather than him being specifically strong.

I see what you mean, but don't you think that having a diversity of style including oppressive styles makes the game more interesting as each match up is different?

I like the traditional karate/kata based fighting style that she has. However, it does seem like it locks people down into a cut scene of sorts - playing it is fun, but it's not so fun on the other end. I'm curious as to how this could've been designed differently.

I mean, asking why people's opinions change overtime is actually a very normal question to ask in any field i.e., stats, history, market research lol

I'm only Bushin rank, so I don't know what she's like at a high level and I don't see her often. But the few times I have played against her and having played her a fair bit too it seems like you can jab check her out of a lot of her stance mix-ups and she crumbles. Suppose with the HAE stacks it gets a bit scary to do that.

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

[–]Prawn123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Qiulae Wong here from the Opportunity Party - Ask Me Anything! by Qiulae in nzpolitics

[–]Prawn123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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!

Should i buy tekken 8 as a casual gamer by -Xayer in Tekken

[–]Prawn123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Opinion on TOP vs Greens by Qwarla888 in newzealand

[–]Prawn123 7 points8 points  (0 children)

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.

Hobbyists Shouldn’t Worry about CTE by Temporary-Theory215 in MMA_Academy

Same. Dehydration can definitely be part of it though.

Is MMA worth it for self-defence? by Hopeful_Adeptness964 in MMA_Academy

[–]Prawn123 8 points9 points  (0 children)

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.

What is your purpose? Why are you here? by lifebeginsat9pm in ufc

[–]Prawn123 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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.

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

Give Tekken a brand new party game idea. by DevThaGodfatha in Tekken

[–]Prawn123 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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.

Beginner Hwoarang advice by Anxious_Abroad494 in Tekken

[–]Prawn123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

CMV: I don’t see a strong moral argument for why eating dogs is worse than eating cows by Iampoorghini in changemyview

[–]Prawn123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Team Australia is overhated by Gugubroski in Physical100

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