A well used Chinese idiom to describe equal rivals (often in sports nowadays) is "Dragon versus Tiger". In Chinese martial arts, "Dragon style" is used to describe styles of fighting based more on understanding movement, while "Tiger style" is based on brute strength and memorization of techniques." sits back

[4:38:56 PM] 84 sad Neetroids: and I'm very amused
[4:39:13 PM] Kameep Rider Huntouto: ...welp.
[4:39:36 PM] Kameep Rider Huntouto: I guess I'd better study up on Dragon style.
[4:39:48 PM] * Kameep Rider Huntouto this may be good muse fuel, meep.
[4:41:46 PM] 84 sad Neetroids: Well, not necessarily the style itself -- it's more just
