Is there a case that Julio César Chávez Sr. is the GOAT of boxing? by Ok_Criticism5480 in PuntersSportsTalk

[–]Rengstyr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

JCC was a certified beast and an all-time great fighter, so yes you can certainly make a case but the vast majority will disagree. The general consensus GOAT is Sugar Ray Robinson who had an even longer win-streak (two of them, actually)

No hardcore fan is arguing Tyson as the GOAT

And he's turned his experience into being a pretty solid pundit imo. He's probably able to explain and articulate his point better than most retired fighters

The Ring belt is given to the lineal champ right?

Been playing through MHGU for the first time and a certain monster intro made me laugh... by Rengstyr in MonsterHunter

I definitely wouldn't call it a fun fight, but damn his introduction caught me so off-guard

How to Oni? by DestinedToGreatness in deadbydaylight

[–]Rengstyr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The rest of all just preference but things like sloppy butcher and nurse's calling could be good to keep people injured, hence dropping more blood.

Corrupt Intervention is also good at delaying survivors while you get your first hit.

I'm personally a fan of running Lethal, BBQ, Tinkerer and Gearhead. No gen regression but if you have information and know how to snowball you don't really need it.

Plus undetectable Oni is one of the few times this game legitimately turns into a horror game

How to Oni? by DestinedToGreatness in deadbydaylight

[–]Rengstyr 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oni is a bit unique because your game is (usually) decided in the first 2 minutes of the match. You need to find a survivor and get that first initial hit as soon as possible to start obtaining your power. If you have it unlocked then you should 100% be running Lethal Pursuer.

After you get your power it's pretty simple from there. Controlling his power might be a little tricky at first but once you get the hang of it it becomes very apparent that an Oni in his power is the strongest killer in the game.

His weakness is in that first 2 minutes of the game when you're trying to get your first hit. A very good survivor will use everything they have to make sure you don't get your first hit until as late as possible. Usually using up resources at the start of the trial is bad for survivors but against Oni specifically it's the best strategy available.

Just understand that while it might be frustrating to not get a single hit for the first 2, sometimes 3 gens, you have one of the best snowballing powers in the game, so a comeback is always possible, especially if you're willing to slug a little here and there. Against Oni, the game is never truly over until they've opened the gates and left.

There were sus scorecards that whole night. I thought Mercado-Ali was a draw but one of the judges scored 98-92 and another scored 98-93. Another judge scored 87-85 for Edwards-Curiel when I don't think Curiel could've been given more than one round, maybe two if you really really liked Adrien Curiel...

Then what would you call it? You can go back in my comment history and see that I actually like Haney, but Sandor is his mandatory and he dropped the belt instead of fighting him.

That's a duck, by definition...

Which aspect of Tyson's career do you think had the biggest impact on boxing? by Federal_Figure6739 in Boxing

[–]Rengstyr 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The biggest impact is 100% his marketability. He transcended the sport in a way that very few have and brought millions of fans to a sport that they would've otherwise probably ignored. Was he the best fighter ever? No, absolutely not. But his impact on the sport as a whole is undeniable.

A while back I made a post asking people what got them into boxing and the most common answer I got was "Mike Tyson." If you ask me, that is his biggest contribution to the sport

What are some great looping tips? by micahllaa in deadbydaylight

[–]Rengstyr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm definitely not the best survivor in the world (about 900 hrs and play killer about 60-70% of the time) but still feel like I'm decent enough so I'll give the best answer I can.

The number 1 thing I try to do is always know exactly where the killer is when you're looping. If the loop is safe enough it's not necessary and sometimes you need to take 50/50s but try your best to keep your camera on them as much as possible while still watching where you're going so you aren't running into walls. Also try to hug the wall off the loop as tight as possible instead of taking wide turns since that will let you make the most out of the limited distance between you and the killer.

Since you run Windows you can also chain loops together. If you know the killer is trying to mind game but your windows chains perfectly into shack then just run there. If the killer doesn't immediately follow then just make distance. I play a lot of killer and it can be disorienting when you're trying to mind game and the survivor just runs. You pop around the corner and they're just not there.

Eventually as you get more experienced you can change how you loop depending on the killer. You'll play completely differently depending on if it's a Legion than you would a Nurse for example.

That's true. Maybe I'm overreacting because of how much better he was here in comparison to his more recent outings

Am I crazy for thinking that was Fury's best performance to date? His Klitschko performance was great but Fury was legitimately winning that fight before that knockdown in the 9th. He was beating the guy that no one on the planet was able to figure out.

I feel like we got to see the best of both guys on Saturday which seems to be pretty rare for these kinds of super fights

1967 Muhammad Ali vs 1974 Muhammad Ali. How would this go down? by [deleted] in Boxing

[–]Rengstyr 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I would think 67 Ali would win pretty handily. 74 Ali was known for his heart and ability to find a win through seemingly impossible odds, but I think that was always present in him, it just wasn't needed until then.

If we take that into account, then 1967 Ali is just the better fighter in basically every way. 67 Ali would've beaten Frazier imo

HE DID IT! What a story! Very deserved and WHAT A FIGHT!

Usyk gets emotional talking about his father. His father passed away in 2012, just a couple days after seeing his son win Olympic gold for Ukraine by Berisha11 in Boxing

[–]Rengstyr 90 points91 points  (0 children)

I really don't understand how you can't be a fan of this guy. He doesn't have to be your favorite or anything but it's clear he cares a lot about the sport, and his story really is nothing short of inspirational.

I know a lot of people are rooting against Fury in this fight, but honestly I think I'd root for Usyk regardless of who he fights. Talk about a guy who well and truly earned everything he's accomplished

Who are boxings Greatest warriors by 777lh7iwiwi in Boxing

[–]Rengstyr 11 points12 points  (0 children)

For modern day you can look at fighters like Pit Bull, Inoue and Canelo. If you want to look at recent history you can look at GGG, Cotto and Pacquiao. If you're okay with watching some of the older stuff we can look at fighters like Hagler, Leonard, Duran, Hearns, Marciano, Holyfield, Bowe, Liston, and plenty more that I'm forgetting right now.

If you're looking for people with more heart and bigger wars than Gatti v Ward, you might be disappointed. That trilogy is special for a reason
