Every shot is 100%. Its why the diaz bros can conserve energy so well. This is simply a flawed argument when it comes to the game mechanics When you think you're going to land but it doesn't you're caught off guard and expend more energy stopping a strike that was thrown with the expectation it would land. It's a realistic thing to have the extra tax.
