Pongfinity vs. World Rank 32

[@PongfinityPlus]

How far down the ranking list do you think we have to go until we manage to win a set? 😄

[@enzocarlo-liu1265]

top 250 for miikka, top 200 for otto and top 350-400 for emil

[@SyedaWafiya]

I'll guess 125, I have hope in Otto 😉

[@Jeteso2009]

Go for Wang Chuqin, he will lose with anyone nowadays

[@AndyChen-zu3mr]

Play the world no.1 before he finds his true potential and you’ll have a chance

[@cwolf208]

Didn't Otto get a couple sets off Benedeck Olah? He's top 100. EDIT: I looked it up, Otto took him to the 7th a couple years ago.

Definitely! There's a good reason why they are the best players in the world :)

[@tiranor]

@@PongfinityPlus Yeah, and when he's talking about the others being faster and stronger, i recall a "recent" video where Simon Gauzy explained he had to go for a hybrid blade instead of the wood one he used before (has more control) because he just couldn't strike fast enough to gain a point when attacking, he needed a faster blade.

[@orlandoescobar5174]

Otto's bh is so violent, he must be one of the hardest bh hitters playing TT right now

[@battilanahugo9988]

his compatriot benedek olah has a quit good one too

[@cwolf208]

He has a world class smash backhand arguably as good as anyone (or as hard as anyone), but pros don't really develop that because they're more mobile and hit forehands on those setups.

[@RandyDaGamer]

Indeed

[@gab5012]

@@cwolf208 some pros do develop it, Darko Jorgic and Noshad are top players with games revolving around BH loop killso it depends on playstyle and tactics. But in most points despite not being able to deal with the BH kill itself the pro players can prevent Otto from getting first attack with better serves and short game, but as anders was saying if he does get the chance no one is dealing with it, it's all about preventing

[@aspen5341]

This is great, much better than the viewer challenges, I'd love to see more quality gameplay

[@meloozumano]

The worst part about this video, is that it ends

[@kenji2787]

Might’ve been better to do 3 out of 5. It takes a bit to start getting used to such quality, and also they’re losing too many points directly on serves on first game. Lin will also be more relaxed the more games but that’s a smaller advantage. Miika will definitely do much better.

[@jeffreylee4665]

I feel like you guys should see if your combined points can take a set off a pro!

[@RafaelAcurcio]

Very good game! But I had a hard time seeing where's the ball during the game.

[@nils-and-kat-devine]

What does undershnit mean in Germain? (possible misspelling)

[@tristan7425]

It means backspin and is spelled Unterschnitt

[@nils-and-kat-devine]

@ thanks! I figured the captions had it spelled wrong. And makes sense he’d say that because Mika couldn’t return his heavy backspin serve.

[@pinejared]

I would love to face Emil. I'm sure he would beat me 11-1, but I'm curious about it. You could tell Anders was holding back against him. I've been playing seriously for about 12 years and I try to imitate proper technique, so maybe I could have a good rally or two with Emil in a single set.

[@ChessJourneyman]

Seems like Otto's main weapon was destroying him but it's unleashed too late because his weapon is the serve plus first attack. So he technically cheesed the win to avoid taking chances.

[@TableTenniswithDov]

Is Emil no long playing pips?

[@tristan7425]

I was wandering the same

[@PongfinityPlus]

Yeah, no more long pips 😅It was a fun experiment and I think it did motivate me to start playing more frequently for a while (which was the main purpose for me to try it), but the reality is that reaching even a decent level with a completely new playing style is very tough and would require *a lot* of practice. After stopping playing competitively 10 years ago it also feels like it's really hard to find the motivation to practise frequently because you know that you won't achieve even the same (not to mention a desirable higher) level as you have had before when you were practising every single day. But as you can see in this video as well, with no practice (last training session was 6 months before this video) it doesn't really matter which playing style you play, you'll still be completely out of the game and lose 11-0 or potentially get a few lucky points against a pro player 😄But still it was fun for me also to play this set and I think the whole video shows really well how good pro players truly are! :) // Emil

[@PgunMan]

Otto = Easy 😎

[@ozmondos]

Maybe you guys can do handicap matches against pro players to make it more competitive.

[@XYoukaiX]

I played against someone in the 3rd German league before and I thought like "can't be that hard" ... same as here in the video it just looks so easy but yeah I also didn't manage to return most of the serves. I have no idea how they are even able to create so much spin with the same material we all play.

[@randomkitchen6747]

I liked Mikka's idea of combined pongfinity points, would still be 11-8 😅
