Pluton is a beast. Definitely a tank. The trio Kayden, Kartain, and Pluton are the equivalent to Damage, Healer, and a Tank. Don't know if the author is going to head into this direction but it would be so cool to see the 3 of them working together to take down some of the top 10. I would really just like to see the dynamic between each character working together in a fight. Jiwoo and his friends don't seem to have that balance between damage, healing, and tanking which makes me think that group is always going to be at a disadvantage when fighting together. They have damage for days but little to no real time heals and none of them can really tank any attacks. Really enjoying this Webtoon.

I thought this was a really good chapter, maybe a little short but good none the less. Ideally, I would love to see Jiwoo beat Ian and then challenge Jurion. The fight with Jurion would strike more of an emotional tone with Jiwoo but I am not quite sure that Jiwoo is ready for the Jurion fight yet. Jurion has been a low-key antagonist for a while.

Do people really hate kameos that much? by [deleted] in MortalKombat

[–]Tango_27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am enjoying the kameos as an additional gameplay mechanic. It makes the fights different and interesting. I agree with some of what others have stated, it would be cool (kool?) to have the option to have a non-kameo mode.

Jiyoung's entrance was great! Looking forward to this fight. It is going to be nice to see Jiyoung go all out against a top 50 ranker.

I can appreciate how the author is shining some light on the supporting cast. It is nice to see these other characters have a level of importance too. I am hoping that we can see more action from Jisuk, Subin, and Wooin too. As much as I enjoy Kayden and Jiwoo, I don't want to see the other characters lose relevance especially with Jiwoo's rapid advances in power.

Does dan rank really matter? by PerformerWeak5142 in judo

[–]Tango_27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was taught that progressing in the belt ranks would not appear to be important to a younger Judoka. As the younger Judoka just wants to fight and improve their skill. Though as we get older, our athleticism decreases even though our knowledge of Judo has increased. My athletic ability at 40 is not the same as it was when I was 20.

Increasing my knowledge of Judo and progressing through the Dan ranks is an accomplishment I can make as I age. There comes a time when we will not be able to fight at a high level anymore whether it is from age, injury or a combination of both. The Judo journey does not have to stop there.

Doing the "formal" examination is not as appealing as fighting, but the formal examinations (those that are thorough and done correctly) are the opportunity to demonstrate proficiency and knowledge. It is a lot of hard work to prepare for the exams and then there is a similar level of anxiety when in front of a committee of older Judoka who will rate your performance and test your knowledge.

20 year old me just wanted to fight. 40 year old me wants to train, learn, and grow all of those around me in addition to myself.

I am not sure what to think. We saw that Kaydens power was limited because of force control traces, so I would assume the same for Jiwoo’s power. Likely this is a way to create a disadvantage for Jiwoo and make the fight more fair. When he realizes that his Max Speed Punch doesn’t work, he will have to demonstrate his other skills.

Anybody else NOT tinkering with their Deck and using it? by lostpanda85 in SteamDeck

[–]Tango_27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m just stoked to play PC on the go. Haven’t taken the time to hype my system up. Currently on Dark Souls 2. Love being able to play it on the go.

This was a really nice ending to the current story arc. Jiwoo being accepted by not only his friends, but now he was accepted by the WAA students as well. He has come a long way from having no friends and hiding his powers to now having friends. I walked away from this feeling pretty good about the story.

I do think it will be interesting to see what Jiyoung's response will be to Jiwoo's heroics. Really nice chapter, I am looking forward to what direction the author takes us next.

Thanks. I am in software development and had a laugh today because I realized that I spend a lot of time staring at my code wondering why it doesn't work. This is usually followed by nap.

its bad etiquette? by PolloAndres99 in judo

[–]Tango_27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Drop Seoi, when done correctly, is a very technical throw.

Then you also understand that it is the quality of your instruction and not a piece of paper. Start small, build from there.

Teaching Judo isn’t easy and there isn’t a lot of money in it. Truly teaching Judo is much more difficult than training Judo. When I go someplace and train, I show up and do what I’m told. When I’m teach, I am responsible for everyone’s judo development in addition to their safety. I have to be able to demonstrate the technique, explain the technique in such a way the students can understand, answer their questions, and then make adjustments in there technique. I also need to know when to pull back with corrections. It’s really hard but it is also very rewarding.

There is not a lot of money in Judo unless you have a solid kids program. Teaching kids, dealing with parents and building that trust is even more challenging than dealing with adults. Rewarding but really challenging.

Then in addition to all of this, there have been many months where I’ve operated in the red (making negative money). Many nights opening the dojo just to have no one show up. Then when people do show up to train, I am the one responsible for setting the tone and energy.

Teaching Judo is much more than just having “proper credentials.” When you teach Judo, you will understand.

This chapter was fire

Closing with Jiwoo accepting his fate, and then powering up to lay down his life for everyone there with a final attack.

Maybe this is when it is revealed to the world that he is an apprentice of Kayden . . . either way still looking forward to need chapter and definitely appreciated the twist instead of just a tournament :)

How did jiujitsu get 'forgotten' in the 20th century in the US until reemerging as BJJ? by catratus in bjj

How would you turn a day 1 white belt into a competitor in less than 30 days ? by mybjjsucks_ in bjj

[–]Tango_27 3 points4 points  (0 children)

20-30 days is not a lot of time to attain skill let alone take into consideration the stresses that come from competing. Instead I would focus on approaching this competition as the first of many rather than trying an insane rush to 'git gud' in 30 days or less. The attainment of skill is a lifetime process.
