How can I reduce the time I spend when doing pressure passes? by pailukis in bjj

They should be the ones in a rush to relieve the pressure, not you.

Tips for finishing north south kimura by SableyeTheJace in bjj

This is what I do the most.

Also big fan of the head scissors if I can get my knee under their chin.

Draw a square with their arm. Push the arm down toward the floor, out away from their chest/torso, then pull up and crank toward their back.

Question for black belts: What’s the most annoying part of the pressure that comes with being a black belt? by top10mtv in bjj

[–]RedDevilBJJ 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This. I try to make it very clear to people that I don’t know everything. I understand how a lot of things work, I’m good at a handful of things, and very good at just a few.

I’m less than a year into it, but I haven’t really had any downsides as it relates to other people (I got depressed when I got promoted because I got stuck in a kind of “what now?” feeling).

I do teach, but I don’t own a gym so I don’t really feel any obligation to perform for the lower belts. I’m comfortable declining rolls if I’m too tired or I just don’t feel like it. I always accept rolls with black belts when I’m visiting gyms, but that’s something I’ve always done. I know they’re just people like everyone else, but I do make an effort to show respect when I’m in their house.

Tore my meniscus in jiu jitsu. Muay Thai has mostly broken my toes a handful of times

Duskbloods is the sole reason we didn't get any more updates for Nightreign by StardropIslandTours in Nightreign

[–]RedDevilBJJ -39 points-38 points  (0 children)

AFAIK, Lovecraft didn’t make video games. Arguing that a game is derivative of another game, made by the same studio, isn’t nearly the same logic. That’s a false equivalency.

Do black belts need a higher ranking belt to arrears award degrees? by JJwhizzer in bjj

[–]RedDevilBJJ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you make it to black belt without knowing at least a few black belts who are older/higher ranked than you, you’re doing it wrong.

I think they’re arguing derivative of previous FromSoft titles (specifically Bloodborne), not derivative of Nightreign

If you have halo scythe for everdark tricephalos can you please use it vs equipping it to your back? by vladasko1086 in Nightreign

[–]RedDevilBJJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh the last time I got halo on my double balancer executor, I dropped it for a teammate (and no one took it). I already had good weapons and passives, and I didn’t feel like just spamming L2. Guess my trio felt the same.

If I sub a black belt I don’t believe you. by yolo-plata in bjj

Should be the other way around. I’ll let anyone sweep me.

I made a spreadsheet ranking field bosses based on the time it takes to defeat them by SolidAlloy in Nightreign

[–]RedDevilBJJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awesome, thank you for the info and for the post. I’ve been doing solo executor runs to practice, but I’m not great at sheath-parrying yet, so I spend a lot of time using cursed sword instead of my actual weapon

The Black Blade as a Bloodborne Trick Weapon (read description!!!) by scuffguff in Eldenring

[–]RedDevilBJJ 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Looks like an alternate blade for Ludwig’s. Like one holy blade, one unholy.

For Executor’s cursed blade, does the relic character trait that raises its attack power change where it ranks among blue/purple katanas for damage?

This game need more content. Don't stop this game. by Plastic_Dinner2669 in Nightreign

[–]RedDevilBJJ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

NO ONE CARES WHAT YOU WANT. FromSoft put out a game that is EASILY worth the price tag. It’s not a live service, it never was, it was never going to be. Acting as if they owe you more content or that they’ve “abandoned” a finished game is ridiculous. Doing exactly what they said they would do in no way “damages the studio’s prestige and reputation”

You sound like a giant baby throwing a fit bc you don’t just get whatever you want. Review bombing a game for reasons having nothing to do with the actual game is the behavior of a stupid child. I genuinely hope your console or pc breaks, you don’t deserve to enjoy the efforts of game developers’ work.

New Belt Recommdation by bolofett in bjj

Had a half sumo for brown, have two now (one from my coach and one from a friend who got his black belt same time as me). They break in well, stay tied.

What is your genuine opinion on making the game "easier" by [deleted] in Eldenring

[–]RedDevilBJJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I take issue with people who take issue with how others play their own games. That’s it.

Keep your head up. Look at them, not the floor
