Shidong caught the ball thinking the volley was over when Karlsson hit the ball twice… when in fact he did not.

If it wasn't an intentional fakeout, I think they should have allowed another go at it. Nothing about this demonstrates one player's skill over the other; it was a fluke and should be given a whoopsie e: I mean, was it intentional or not? If it was intentional, that's pretty slick. But it didn't seem to be...?

Theres a supposed saying I heard long ago: If you do business with Danes you need a watertight contract, with Norwegians it requires a contract and a language teacher, and with a Finn you only need a handshake. If you do business with Swedes you also only need a handshake. But you need to count your fingers afterwards

Bloody Hedgehog posted:... what? You want a detailed summary of what happened? Alright, here goes: The player motioned to the ref and said to him "Did he hit the ball twice?" The ref said he did not. So the Swedish player didn't hit the ball twice, and had to get into a special ping pong suit (tight shorts... Ugh). The Swedish player said "Can I hit it twice even if not intentional?". The ref said "No." So the Swedish player with his short, brown hair won the point and must have enjoyed it... but the Chinese player did not.

You're allowed to swing as many times as you want, but you can only hit it once. You can do this in tennis as well if you get a well placed lab in your direction. Nothing says you have to wait for the ball to bounce and a lot of players will smash it right out of the air on a lob. Way way way way way way back when I was playing tennis regularly, once in awhile I would swing and miss when the ball was on its way down on purpose, and then when it bounced tap it lately over the net. It worked more often than it didn't. So the same thing applies in ping pong, but it's harder to do because well it's loving ping pong that's why

This isn't some backyard pickup game where you get a do-over because your big brother tricked you.

That's on another level ...if he did it deliberately. But even then, to realize you had missed and then get in position for a second go is incredible.

Faking your opponents out is one of the best things in sports, it'd be dumb as hell if it was illegal

His reaction makes it seem like it wasn't intentional. If he was trying to purposely trick his opponent, why would he then be like "no what are you doing" when they give up on the point? It might have been intentional insofar as doing a dummy swing to fake them out a bit/get them off balance whatever, but he certainly didn't appear to be purposely trying to make them think he hit the ball twice.

Is there a rule in tabletennis that you can't return an illegal shot or something? If not, it was dumb for the dude to catch it. Keep playing and leave that poo poo to the umpire/referee.

A bad decision but one made in the heat of a game so understandable. https://i.imgur.com/wNAWSs4.mp4

in the movie yeah, but not really in the show, they're much more mechanical. the movie version they're basically vampires, fueled by the blood of the pilot, while in the show they're powered by...something, energy crystals or some poo poo, been a while since I watched it. but I can absolutely see that first gif as a movie version where the goo is just blood gushing everywhere

Captain Invictus posted:in the movie yeah, but not really in the show, they're much more mechanical. I recently rewatched the series. They never really explain how the guymelefs/mechas work. They imply that they get power from "energist cystals" which can be mined from earth or retrieved from a slain dragon (iirc the places where they are mined are places where lots of dragons died). Energist seems to be the main power source for everything (airships, weapons, etc), not just 'melefs. The first gif there is from the episode where they come across an energist mine. In that episode, Van says something along the lines of "In a war, whichever side has the most energist will win". Escaflowne (Van's guymelef) is a special type that can 1: transform into a dragon and fly and 2: is cursed so that whatever damage it takes is also taken by the pilot. Van is the king of Fanelia and Escaflowne is a machine passed along his family line and seems to be connected to him through his bloodline. He had to slay a dragon and recover the energist as a trial before he could use the mecha. impossiboobs has a new favorite as of 02:01 on Jun 4, 2023 |
