These are the only rikishi to win a yusho from Maegashira 9 or below. There were no entries for 10, 11, 15, or 16.

Are you arguing that all of them faced the exact same quality of competition over the entire tournament than the joijin frontrunners did? If not then you've completely lost any understanding of what the argument is.
>>223785
If it was best-of-3 while still have everyone fight all 15 days then yeah, there'd be less variance. But the scenario presented was one where they would have to have sekitori alternate days instead in order to account for the higher workload across the entire tournament. So each bout would be best-of-3 but there'd only be 7 or 8 bouts like the lower divisions would have, which would greatly increase variance.
>>
>>223786
The fact it doesn't happen often is proof that it's a result of the matchmaking system. Generally speaking, a rikishi will be ranked where he ought ot be based on his skill level. Takerufuji is thus particularly lucky to be in a position where he was so clearly underranked.
>>
>>223794
I wasn't making an argument either way. Initially I was defending Takeru, but with this I was only presenting data, make of it what you will.

Is LARP considered /xs/? Its got a much higher concussion and injury rate than HEMA.

What are you opinions on western larp vs japanese larp? Western LARP has a roleplay aspect but a very robust point/scoring system and usually have fight multiple opponents in groups.

While japanese larp seems to just bash each other repeatedly until a judge arbitrary decides if they get "ippon".

It seems pretty fun. I heard some stuff about wicca cults infiltrating medieval fairs, maybe that doesn't happen much.
I understand the differences between larp and HEMA; but diff. between medieval larp and battle of nations\ "armored combat"?

Its not really a sport though is it? more like a bunch of soft interconnective activities. Mock traders, quest givers, fighters, faction leaders etc that arent consolidated into a particular goal. kinda change from event to event i would think, right?

DO you mean specific rulings withing fights in larp? I suppose that could be a sport, but then thats not really LARP, thats a ruling within larp.

LARP is not a martial art, but HEMA is, and it’s much more comparable to kendo than LARP is

Nobody looks down on boxing in the UFC. Don't know how people from the most watched combat sport can have the persecution complex that they do.

I'd even argue that very few people have actually good boxing in the UFC. The reason why so many knockouts are with the hands is because fighters just swing as hard as they can with little attention paid to form.

Jon Jones loses to Pereira by unanimous and the score would be impossible to rob (4-1, or 5-0).

Jon Jones get's really mad and accepts the Aspinall fight.

Loses to Aspinall by TKO in R2.

It's cringe that he thinks that Stipe fight means more towards his legacy than him fighting an Aspinall. Like if you're that headspace to not take challenges anymore i think it's about that time.

It's my 2nd season, I am finally making some deep carved turns with razor thin lines on red/blue/green slopes.
I am also now starting to be able to navigate in between trees, hitting side cuts and slowly becoming comfortable with being airborne and sticking my landings, though I only land on my heel side because my ankles are kind of fucked.

I have these old bindings with thick foam straps. All the new ones seem to have that webbed plastic strap instead.
I'm wondering if switching to a new one will help improve my toe side feel/response? There is definitely a lot of play/cushion with the foam straps and I always kind of have to exaggerate my movements when I'm doing anything toe side. It's very noticeable when initiating toe side turns.

Maybe. This is a personal feel thing that you may or may not like. Just rent a board with the kind of bindings you're thinking about switching to for a day.

There's two types of paintball, woodsball (can be played in arenas too, think of what you see people doing in airsoft) and speedball. Speedball is the competitive field you see in this photo. The sport aspect is unavoidably expensive and to an extent is pay to win. Paint is expensive, the lowest serviceable tier of equipment is expensive, and traveling is expensive. If you're willing to spend $1k or so on gear and well North $100 of paint per day, you are in the game and it's insanely fun. That said, you can bring one box of paint out to your local yokel woodsballer meetup and have a great time blasting children and their overweight fathers. If you bring an e-trigger speedball gun out to a bunch of yokel's with Tippmans, just throttle your trigger to like 1 shot per second and turn the fps down. Don't be that dildo who dumps a firehose of bruises into the back of a 10 year old's head, so he never wants to play again.

when will this faggot fight again? I like his style and he definitely beat Sean, but when is he gonna defend that title against the Bugman?

I like his defense, it's cool to watch. But there isn't much of a finishing threat from Strickland. And he paid for it. I do have to say I was impressed with his chin. His nose looked shattered and he kept going.

powerslide makes a 4x90 trinity frame called the combat rocker. it has a 290mm wheelbase which is way better for a size 12 and you can ride it flat or rockered. you could also try a 4x80 with a longer wheelbase, i think ground control makes a 270mm one, same base as a normal 4x90 setup
honestly i would highly recommend the 90mm combat rocker, its probably the best option for you. you can switch back to banana rocker on the same frame if you dont like riding flat, and not many frames come in that wheelbase. the closer the wheelbase is to your foot size the better. you can even use smaller wheels for a lower ride height but its not necessary

You want to figure skate but minimize the gays? That is a losing proposition, you have to embrace the gayness of it if you want to have any chance. You'll probably get pussy by being the only guy who's not literally gay doing it

also inline is easier than ice but about 85% transferrable so it's probably a good way to learn the basics
