Alas, for Pardew the intentions are: AHHH DO NOT ATTACK!!!!! and Try to nick one +70 mins.
So Pardew's logic applied to Tekken would be something like this: Let you character's health go below 30%, then start playing.
No.
It would mean waiting until 30% of the timer remained whilst trying to take as little damage as possible
While I have not really got involved in all the slating the last few months, that´s actually a pretty funny concept for a Pardew youtube series "Pardew plays tekken", "Pardew manages a volleyball team" (find a vid of a team desperately returning a bunch of smashes only to finally succumb to the pressure and lose), "Pardew plays handwrestles with Mark Henry" etc etc.
The Tekken character in a constant block move pose until the last few seconds where he/she springs out and concedes a feeble goal
