This was an okay fight turned great. Rin was shredding Liz, got her into the deep orange, almost read (so took about 75% of her health). Then Liz was like, “This is not how I die!” and went superman on Rin and took back the fight.
Sidenote: When announcers call Superman punches in a woman’s match a “Superwoman punch” it drives me fucking nuts. The punch is named after a position/maneuver, performed by the character superman. If Wonder Woman did something like that, it would be a fucking Wonder Woman punch, even if a man threw it. Pisses me off. It is never a fucking “superwoman punch”. Ever. Fuck.
Good fight here though.

This was an okay fight turned great. Rin was shredding Liz, got her into the deep orange, almost read (so took about 75% of her health). Then Liz was like, “This is not how I die!” and went superman on Rin and took back the fight.
Sidenote: When announcers call Superman punches in a woman’s match a “Superwoman punch” it drives me fucking nuts. The punch is named after a position/maneuver, performed by the character superman. If Wonder Woman did something like that, it would be a fucking Wonder Woman punch, even if a man threw it. Pisses me off. It is never a fucking “superwoman punch”. Ever. Fuck.
Good fight here though.
