Yes I can see that it's stuck.
- Sitters are not allowed. (Sitters are grenades that sit for 1/4 second or longer). The penalty for a sitter is a Grenade or Bazooka to and from yourself in an attempt to cause the same damage you previously inflicted.
So I guess this means when the grenade is locked in position, and not when the grenade stops moving.
If that's the case then maybe it's a sitter, as it locks into place at 0.26.
But we could also argue, using the literal term of the word "sit":
sit:
1.
to rest with the body supported by the buttocks or thighs; be seated.
2.
to be located or situated: The house sits well up on the slope.
3.
to rest or lie (usually followed by on or upon ): An aura of greatness sits easily upon him.
4.
to place oneself in position for an artist, photographer, etc.; pose: to sit for a portrait.
5.
to remain quiet or inactive: They let the matter sit.
I mean, the grenade is upside down so it isn't sitting(plus the fact nades don't have an ass), we can't use the 2nd definition, the 3rd definition isn't very accurate either, or the 4th really, and if we use the 5th, then the fact the grenade was still moving clockwise means it was still active...
We would have to change the definition of the sitter rule to define something like "Once the grenade is locked into position (when it stops moving, up, down, left, right, diagonal), rotation of the grenade sprite is not included."
But I feel like the rule should be based on complete movement, because as you notice, from 0.32 - 0.30 it moves 1 pixel from right to left, from 0.30 - 0.28 it stays still and it doesn't move at all, weird, then from 0.28 - 0.26 it moves 1 pixel from left to right, and finally from 0.26 - 0.24 it rotates I guess 1 movement clockwise...
Even using the term "sit" I still think this is a valid shot... The grenade is in the process of "sitting down" until 0.24s. It still hasn't officially "locked into place" until 0.24s. If we were timing this professionally I reckon the timing would start on 0.24.
I mean, how do you think of someone sitting in a chair? Back leaned forward, head down, arms holding onto arms of the chair? Or already settled down calm and comfortable? Would you start timing someone sitting in a chair from the very second their ass touches the chair, or actually sit up straight?
I really don't think this is fair to call this a sitter, the rule isn't accurate enough in my opinion to judge the decision purely on the wording of the rules, I don't see either team playing "lame" at any point in the game, this was a good shot at the end, you can clearly see the grenade is still moving until 0.24, to me he was just trying to throw a grenade to take around 20-30 damage, and this type of shot is usually perfect for this...
Of course this is not my choice, I guess i've went into ridiculous detail here, but i've always been under the assumption a sitter is when the grenade stops moving, this includes rotation... And these guys played good enough they made the right shot at the right time.
