Taiwan's table tennis team sucks. It should be ranked 200 in the world. (Click baiting Tony so he can't resist returning ;)).

They actually took the effort to have the Western actors mimic the play styles of the Swedish players they were playing (or at least Jorgen Persson's curly hair IIRC). Nevertheless, true it still looks fake. Now we know what real MMA fighters see when they watch action movies.

It seems the commentary on ERT's page is about this Han Xiao (male, USA), not the (random?) female picture in his page:

That may not be her. Here she is with Quadri, who doesn't look like he has been beautified (and so Xiao Han must not have been much so as well). As always ERT has the secret. Maybe the guys here on this forum are wrong. Maybe ERT does have all the secrets.

Yeah it's very good. She looks like AI generated though. Or an anime character that came alive. But very good in depth teaching. Chinese videos seem to overuse some kind of "beautify setting" in their cameras.

8:57 is nearly exactly the same sequence. FZD sends the float to WCQ FH, except WCQ successfully attacks it with his BH.

Porque no los dos? (Contextual cultural sidenote: Everyone in Australia knows this Spanish question)

If you come across a video of this, would love to see / hear it!

Harimoto has perfected ethical screaming of cho lei! My personal view though is that "cho lei!" should be left for Chinese only. All others should come up with their own local motivational cries that reflects their national personality. (Gauzy's Allez! allez! for example). Just once, I'd...

You can even mispronounce it and go "chao leee!" to better get into their heads

Ha ha. I was talking about me. I've had no urges for a while. But with the thread about tt-japan, and now this, about how STN feels so good...

Another old timer with supernatural core strength

I had the chance to meet Asuka Sakai in person finally, 14 years after seeing his phenomenal viral serve and subsequent Guinness World Record! It's just crazy, 15 meters per second, only fractionally slower than the blink of a human eye! TLDR; did you experience receiving the serve yourself?

Yeah it can 100% determine your playing style. The OP will learn a style that limits movement and footwork. Maybe those two guys' playing style was a product of years of playing on that floor.
