it's about giving other characters and players more of a chance to react and interact while it's going on.

You realize, of course, that this is a TOURNAMENT SETTING, right? As in, the rules FORBID US FROM INTERACTING WITH THE FIGHTERS? So what do you think we're gonna do to "react and interact" post a shit load of redundant commentary like Naruto characters do? Seriously, if this were literally any other setting I would agree with you. But the cold, hard fact is, this is a tournament, where other characters are literally stuck in frickin' limbo until the fights are over, so you might as well suck it up and finish the fights quickly so the rest of us don't die of boredom.

But hey, I'm just an asshole who "lacks faith", what do I know?
