Early UFC matches were fast because no one had figured out that grappling basically dominates in one on one fights, then just after that everyone started to learn counter grappling, and then after that, they had to start putting time limits on the bouts because some of them turned into thirty minutes of two dudes basically just laying on the mat.
Maxima is instituting a boredom limit.
Anyone get the feeling Vehemence is mostly here just for the big rematch?
I think super powered grappling would look exactly the same as regular grappling. Just the actual grappling, mind you. A super powered suplex would be dope. Or a DDT, or an 80 story elbow drop. Most "show" wrestling moves would be pretty cool actually. Even that one where they stomp when they punch to make it sound like they're hitting harder. Like, they know we can see their feet, right? Anyway, I assume the super version would collapse the storm drains underneath the fight and look cool instead of childish.
Tamer: Enhancer 2 – Progress Update:
Very nearly done with what may or may not be the final chapter. I know I said that last time, but I went off on a thousand word tangent. I mean, that's my writing process. Just... slap down whatever comes to mind. Well, not really. I am a little concerned that I'm cramming an awful lot into the back quarter of the book. Content is good, but pacing is important too. Anyway, I incorporated some stuff from the latest canon Tamer. I won't spoil anything here, but, you know, read all of those before mine if you're planning on reading them at any point.
I should finish the chapter this week hopefully, then see how it looks.

Kevin looks so happy. Even with rules, I don't think he's ever had this much fun.

You can leave the hat on...

This.. If not for Maxima knowing he Really does just wants to punch her really hard, she'd probably feel uncomfortable. Also, why doesnt she take them both on? Be more interesting that way.

In Fight Club, yes.

Max wore that hat the entire time, just for that second to last panel.

If you take the showboat-man-ship out of it there is an actual martial arts technique that can involve something vaguely similar to a foot stomp while throwing a punch. I'm not sure if it has the same name everywhere, in my style we called it a "shudder punch" but a video search for that term shows almost no results, And I'm guessing there would be an instructional youtube video for just about everything so .. It probably goes by another name. The actual movement is only an inch or two though, It basically involves using your body and momentum to push yourself off your back foot an inch or two forward without changing your stance, re-plant your feet for power as you launch the punch, (and for stability as you rotate into it). This extends your reach by a small amount at an unexpected time, and the shudder/land/plant can actually create a loud noise depending on the surface you are standing on, this can startle an unwary opponent and cause them to not realise that blow that they thought they had judged to be short was actually going to connect with their nose.

That's Hiro, isn't it? Why does he still got his shirt on? Isn't that against the rules?
