I've done a lot of arranged fights for more than 10 years, and have always wanted to disallow scratching. Arranged fights usually have some style focus, like sub or pin westling, and players agee on limits ahead of time. Some 'cheating' is frequent on both sides, But a total disregard for what was agreed, or truly dangerous moves. and I am GONE..I leave. No payback fights later.
why I exclude and don't engage in scratching has been said already here. I'm posting from an "irl" perspective to say AMEN! YESSSSS!!! to those views,also to say: in real matches.
-scratching happens in "spontaneous" as opposed to arranged fights with agreed rules. It is badically not about competitive fight.
- the pain is very limited in time, and can be endured with a grit of the teeth, wonderful pain supressing chemicals from the brain, and experience. after the nail rake what usually followes is a great opening for the one scratched to return a serious and longer lasting move.
- sctatching = no fight skill or showing of for yer SO. It a is boring and useless atempt to get advantage or feed the unmet ego needs of the sctratcher
- breaks in the skin and getting all over a sweating, bleedng opponnet can pass diseases.
- for anyone interested in the real deal it is boring,immatue, skill-free, useless shit. It ought to be ruled out in favor of competiting, unless yer a drunk girl showing off.
Many thanks for the read.
