  1. Its entertaining to me to see how far both of you will go trying to make sumone on the internet understand you. I swear sumtimes you guys have to be team trolling. Great stuff.
  2. I just hope you guys sticc with it. If you kiss and make up Ill have no reason to come to the forums anymore. You're "debates?" Are usually pretty entertaining.
  3. I Duno Brain. Admittedly I can only remember seeing 5-6 Chael fights but his gameplan duznt appear to change. Brawl till he closes the distance then hold on for dear life till TD. He's quicc but Jones isn't slow. And Chael looked tiny compared to Anderson. Jones is gona dwarf him. Chael has good boxing technique wise but his movement in stand up is real stiff and awkward looking. I've never seen him try to angle in on sumone. Pretty much just start swinging and grab ahold of sumthing. Jones length has made even high level strikers freeze up and become stagnant. I'm not sure he can close the distance on JBJ, and even if he can I Duno if he'll have the size to pose a threat. I guess well see how much lean muscle he can put on before the fight, and how it effects his quiccness. All that said tho, Ill be rooting for Chael. I can not bear to watch a season of tuf that's basically being made to get Jones over with the fans. Can't imagine the recycled bullshit Jon is gona be saying. "I dunno why Chael dislikes me. I'm like the nicest Guy ever. Really. I'm always doing nice things. Just ask my brothers or Greg. I'm seriously the nicest Guy any of them has ever met. Oh ya and I almost forgot till sumone else beat me to it: Praise God ya'll!"
  4. Hall of fame tuf coaches is a great idea. I wana believe Jones/Sonnen will be a competitive fight, but I just can't picture it. Make me a believer.
  5. I go high SHIG with my guys outta the gate. And if they don't react right. Cut. I have pretty decent lucc with int rolls tho. In the past I've had guys who I had set to 10% kiccs go out and leg kicc a Guy a couple times and like the way it felt, then body kicc, head kicc KO without throwing any punches. But at sum point it felt like sumthing changed. Or maybe other pieces of the engine changed so much it altered SHIGs effectiveness. It really doesn't seem to do much to alter the gameplan anymore. On the flipside tho I picced a couple free agents up recently and they were both set to 100% Follow orders and I took them to like 30% SHIG and they both got mollywhopped.
  6. True that. Wuz more looking at wut it meant for the sport. Jones proves nothing beating him. He gets to go bacc to MW. And still no one cares about TUF. The Griffin fight is still happening ya? Wonder wut happens if Forrest pulls out the dub.
  7. I don't like the selection but no ones really getting fucced over here. Dans out a while. Machida got battered, and said he's not interested in a title shot. Everyone other top tier Guy has either been beaten or is running. Gustavsson will get molested Glover needs a couple fights. Maybe DC is getting screwed, but Chael's the only one taking an ass whooping for pretty much no reason.
  8. Wow. TUF ratings have been crashing and their answer is to put the two most obnoxious fuccs they can find as coaches. It hasn't even started and I'm already not interested.
  9. Xiomar's first twitter post since he wuz selected: God's Will is done. As foreseen, I am ecstatic to purvey to my followers I landed on Team @BoDayshustheHungWun and not Team @abunchaguyswhowillgetledtoslaughtertohelpRambo ! Episode 1: Rambo: First Cut
  10. Ya I've notice it doesn't appear to make much diff right now even at 100.
  11. Sorry if this is jacced. Phone post. Fighter Name: "The Lost Seraphim" Xiomar Halo Manager: Estefan "Chico" Chiscano Gym: The Priory of Zion Hobbies: Protecting the Vatican and the Pope frum all impending doom. Favorite Food/Drink: Bread and Wine Smoke (yes/no) Drink (yes/no): Only Wine Blessed by a Bishop, and Ganja blessed by an equally ranking rastafari Background:As all in he Halo line are, Xiomar and his brothers, sisters, and cousins, have been trained in all forms of combat frum the time they are able to stand. They are born into servitude and protection of the Vatican and all those who reside there. Generations of Halo's dating bacc to the time of the templars have been recorded in history as Defenders of the Holy City. And lets be honest, we've all seen the Tom Hank's movies... as much shit happens at the Vatican the fact that its still standing is a testament to the Halo clan's prowess. Fighting Style: Referred to as "The Blessing", it is a style that encompasses all forms of combat including hand to hand, firearms, combat medics, water and air combat, and Strategy frum one on one and skrimishes to large scale war. Title Belts held (if any): When did you start fighting and why?: Birth. Because it was his life Marital Status ( Single / Married / Taken / Engaged / Divorced ): Married to the game How Many Kids (names, if any): A plethora Religeous beliefs:He upholds the spirit and faith of God, and tho it is his duty to protect catholisism, the very act has hardened his mindset and made him bitter towards that which he is obligated. He has memorized the Bible word for word tho. Education: No formal learning Job before fighting: Protecting the Vatican Prankster (yes/no): Not a prankster himself, he's quite Stoic.... but he will laugh his giant ass off at sumone else's expense. What do you like to do in your free time?: Ganj, Chics, Bible. Debate non-believers. What do you like to do when you're bored?: read above Personality traits (http://www.gurusoftware.com/GuruNet/Personal/Factors.htm): Think Christopher Walken in The Prophecy meets Brock Sampson frum Venture Bros. But of Italian descent. He often monologues like an arch villain. Even to himself if no one is around. Tho he speaks on religion he does so often violently and quite obviously doesn't live up to what most people would call religious morals. He's very volatile, and will take a knee, rosiery in hand, to pray mid argument or dispute in an effort to control himself if he feels the conflict isn't worth tearing sumone's jaw off over. As said, not the type to pull a prank, but will guffaw and heckle the victim to no end if he Sees one. He's quicc to call a circumstance or coincidence a prophecy or ill omen. And use it as a segway into a diatribe on why the human race has failed itself while he Downs sacrament. He will be constantly sneaking Strippers into his room at the Convicted House. Tell us about yourself (in character/1st person fighter mode)?:*Opening of Xiomar's application video, Xiomar is standing in front of a grey screen, pacing back and forth, amped up like the Ultimate Warrior and apparently addressing his words to his own outstretched hand* You have no doubt heard tale of the Hero... of Legend? Well hey, my friend I am Born of the blood of a generation of hero's. I am Xiomar Halo! The Lost Seraphim! So called for my distance from God yet how closely I am entwined with his works! I am a MONOLITH of Torment standing... Tall ... over those that would harm the Pope. I am the Hand with which God Strikes. Those who stand in the way of his Will are promptly met by his HAND!! In a stiff arm of Earl Campbell Proportions!! I am...! Well I am a... necessary... evil. For God needs a disembodied.. Hand y'know? So his, they don't get dirty. Fables have foretold the coming of our clan! The living embodim... *as the camera fades you can still hear Xiomar monologuing in the background* Anything else you would like to add (litterly, anything that has to do with your fighter or his "character"?: He drinks only frum a gold pimp cup littered with Diamonds, Sapphires, and Emeralds, with the words "Holy Grail" on it in random jewels.
  12. Especially Communists. Can we discuss Communists next?
  13. I would think if they went to the trouble of planning it, it woulda been, like, funny, or entertaining? It wuz just sad. People can say he planned that and he puts too much effort into trying to make everyone think he's off, but that duzn't make it any less a cry for help. Its like cutting your wrists: If you were really committed to killing yourself you'd find a quiccer, more efficient way of doing it, but it's still a warning sign that a person has sum mental issues they need help with.
  14. Oh shit! That's Delta Force Chuck! If anyone has a chance against Seagal it would be DFC!
  15. Lol. You're conviction and zeal are amazing.
  16. ... the pie better be amazing. I can't guarantee my client's willingness to cooperate wen were dealing with inadequate refreshments. You're toilet paper is at least quad-ply right?? I don't wanna be around if Xiomar finds out it isn't. You gota work with me here.
  17. Well there ya go. That succs, but coulda been a lot worse for him.
  18. Ya difference in speed sparring with boxing gloves and grappling gloves is a killer. We go pretty hard with big gloves wen prepping sumone for a match or tourney, but shit man it takes almost nothing to hurt sumone with grappling gloves if you have a semblance of technique. He looked like he may have never really gone with 4 0z'ers before. Or coulda been wut Brain said. Other guys hand speed mighta shook him.
  19. I Duno man. That didn't look like showboating to me. Maybe up until the first exchange where he got grilled with a straight.. but after that it looked like a Guy who wuz trying not to trade. Like you said he wuznt trying to hit Bigfoot with that shit, just keep him at a distance. How many time have we seen sumone come out throwing several ridiculous techniques frum way outta range with no setup, then here Joe say, "You know Fighter A has really been working on his stand up." Then 5-10 seconds later fighter A is looking up at the ceiling asking Herb Dean wtf happened. Those looked like keep away strikes to me. Coulda been nerves frum his first headline, coulda been eating that first straight, maybe Silva having the reach advantage shook him. That can often be polarizing for sumone who always enjoys a 2-3 inch reach advantage... but he looked timid for sum reason.
  20. Finally watched it. After the comments here I wuz expecting a lot worse. His skills are obviously rudimentary, ESP stand up, but he showed sum positive things. He reacts to getting hit a lot better than Brock duz. Looked like he wuz expecting the stand up to be at sparring pace and got a rude awakening.
  21. Also I hope we get enuff people. Xiomars in no matter wut, but it would tarnish sum of the shine if the coaches are allowed to put their own fighters in.
  22. Details bro. Wut are we talking here... Tropicana? Minute Maid? It better not be that bargain shit in the gallon jug.
