>>6341083Perfect balancing for him being absurdly good at grappling instead. I really like the presentation that he COULD beat anyone on the roster with ease, but he has a temper problem and gets impatient, which is almost always a loss. I rewatched his match against Shingo from the NJC recently and he sells like death from just one elbow, there are points where I'm not sure if he's actually hurt.
Really comes out well when he's against someone he has a clear advantage against, too, his matches against Oiwa and DOUKI in this year's NJC for example. In those cases he CAN win strike trades so he gets into them on purpose to feed his ego and acts cocky as fuck for the entire thing, then turns to submissions if his situation looks even remotely risky. It's great.
