Don't be afraid. I can stand elucidation if you can stand delivering it.
Afraid of what, a pointless, bickering, ego-filled argument full of logical fallacy and personal insult breaking out on this forum? Frankly I'm so institutionalized at this point Arlo that I'm starting to become afraid that a sensible or progressive discussion might break out one day.
Why would someone scissor for 18 minutes if they had any other option? Why would it take 18 minutes if either could get a decent solution? Who would have the advantage with more/less fuel? Having said that, if it's his fave 'death' so be it. This is a rather objective discussion.
Because there isn't another option once the kind of 'rolling scissor' they are talking about becomes established, it's instadeath™© to try and break out of it. And it is
highly likely to develop as the fight proceeds with two sticks at their level.
The fact they sustained it for 18 minutes is an indication of how closely matched they were on that day and bear in mind that they take turns
narrowly escaping death once each per iteration. Debrody gets an awful lot of negative attention on this forum but whatever else you say about him he is / was a very skilled proponent of ACM. And Redbull, well have you ever dueled him? I'd recommend asking him politely once just for the experience.
