Foil Commentary: Portland 2009 Division I, 2nd round of 12: Dupree vs. Shaito

Really?

Questioning the question are we? Talking a little like stewie? A little rise in pitch toward the end of the sentence? A little unsure of what i was saying in the first place? Little reading between the lines? A little inference perhaps? Can't figure out where my stance is on the issue? Have a hard time considering the other side of the arguement? Think the answer is obvious? Nobody really thinks this funny? Really?

I wasn't talking like Stewie or trying to be funny. I was asking if you were really serious.

You're saying that a former Olympian's victory is lessened because his opponent had cramps. First, it's the end of a tournament, fencers are tired, and that's part of the game, so your idea is irrelevant to start with. Second, who's to say that he wouldn't have won without the cramps? Third, it seems condescending and ignorant to sit and judge others' fencing not on their results, but on how you feel their opponent was fencing.

no, you weren't. I was. It was because whatever your intentions were, the one word question came off as annoying to me.

I'm already said what i felt, and I'm curious if anybody else has opinions on the matter. First: I personally feel the same way about cramping as you do. Second: this unknown is the whole reason i'm asking in the first place.

Especially if his game involves explosive counter attacks. I feel like someone who uses counter-time and focuses on parry riposte would be less affected by the decrease in mobility.

Third Did you entirely miss the original point of the commentary the youtube clips? eac talked about this already.

Jed is old enough to be Shaito's crampa.
