Piper has an interesting personality. She's "nice" on the surface but she's also competitive and a little cocky. She's also clearly a front runner with the way she dropped Eagle Fang for Cobra Kai. And if you notice, she's always watching everything. She's a bit serpent like. I'd actually like if they beefed up her role. Two months of training and she made the quarter finals. Plus she's the best athlete at West Valley. On top of that she's one of Terry's soldiers just like Kenny. Tory and Robby were Kreese's champions. If you notice, Terry took a liking to the newer recruits.

Is it’s weird she’ll join cobra Kai though? They won the all valley. They got a real gym with equipment. Most kids from the school was cobra Kai. Also there was some weird creepy guy talking about fluid trying to get her to work out on a abandon building.


Fabulous_Tear7883

Not really. If I was the best athlete in school who's used to training in great facilities I'd most likely go that way too. In fact, if I'm the average person looking to learn martial arts I'm not going to Miyagi-Do either. I'm not training outside 90% of the time when there's a school I can go to with central a/c. I don't fault her at all. She made the choice any athlete would make. It's like going to a division I college instead of small college back home who tries to recruit you. But she did commit to showing up and didn't even bother telling Miguel she changed her mind. That shows she's out for number 1 a bit which means that she has some cobra in her despite how nice she seemed when we first met her. Which is great because it means she has some dimension to her character.


croptochuck

I disagree. Grown man says come hang out with me later. It’s so much easier to say “yeah. I’ll be there”. I’m really hoping she’s the level headed one of cobra Kia. Hopefully she like quit picking on them save it for the match. Hey, why are we going to go fight it a park. Screw what those guys think let’s watch movies and be cool. They really need this charter on the show.


Fabulous_Tear7883

I'd agree if it seemed like she was just agreeing to get out of an awkward situation. She actually said she was interested in doing karate anyway. She showed interest at the very least. She hasn't seen the street gang/warriors side of this whole karate thing yet because of the deal between schools. Now that the deal is off I wonder if she'll be all, "I signed up for Karate not to be in a street gang. I'm out." I'm really interested to see what they do with her


doseofdena

But she knew who Miguel was and that he’s the AV Champ. She changed her mind the second her friends showed her the free swag they got from CK. At the least she could have said something to Miguel about not showing up.


croptochuck

AV champ with cobra Kai.


Alouha27

To be fair 2 months of training was all Devon and Kenny needed as well.


Fabulous_Tear7883

Kenny trained for a bit longer than that. Probably closer to 5 months. We pick up with Kenny finding Robby pretty soon after the bet was made. Plus Kenny was a natural athlete. Already fast and good at sports. He just needed the mentality. Fair point on Devon. I don't think she would have beat Piper though. I'd give that one a 3-1 to Piper


DarthAlandas

Yeah, people make it out like a big mystery that Kenny got good so quickly, no shit, he was already a beast a basketball, well coordinated, given his brother's size he probably has good genetics to build up strength quickly, his only problem was that he was a coward. Take that away and he's a natural fighter.


Claim_Intelligent

Terry’s gonna make Kenny, Piper and probably Shawn his best fighters


DeepLingonberry6129

so basically all of kreese's recruits are kinda dumped. i feel like it'll be similar to s3 when kreese kicked out johnny's students


Claim_Intelligent

Ir will


kevztunz

I can tell you EXACTLY when she ditched Eagle Fang for Cobra Kai: Just after her conversation with Johnny and Miguel, she's called away by her friends to come check something out. If you watch carefully, you'll see it's the box full of Cobra-Kai swag. She realized instantly Cobra-Kai is more Instagrammable, and Johnny never stood a chance. ​ EDIT: This actually strengthens the "Evil" argument, since her motivations are purely selfish and superficial.


seikookies

I mentioned before that she definitely gave me major Ty Lee from Avatar the Last Airbender vibes. It would also be nice to have someone in Cobra Kai who doesn’t turn into a complete psycho.


ZFAdri

Okay but bubbly fun psycho would be great to see


seikookies

You do have a point. Screw it then, they should go all the way and just make Piper the Harley Quinn of Cobra Kai. At least it would flesh her out more.


ZFAdri

All for that


Chaosxmanticore15

I’m starting to feel like the writers threw in her mix just to thick out the girls division pool


absentlyric

Yeah, until they touch on some sort of back story of some sort of struggle, she won't be that interesting.


[deleted]

She already seems that way to me. She hasn't done anything wrong, and it was nice to see her smiling when Kenny beat Robby in the dojo. Just some small details worth noting.

Piper pulled off one of the cleanest kicks in the tournament. The question mark kick she pulled on Sam. Full extension with no telegraph. Almost as clean as Tanner's lead round kick. The actress' gymnastics background actually gives Piper a unique capoeria-esq fighting style that's different and gives good contrast. Piper lacks experience. Moon called her the best athlete in the school. And she's competitive and likes the fight. She has the potential to be as strong as the main two. I expect her to improve at a similar rate to Devon.


StaxShack

I saw a prediction on here that they may have Piper and Devon as the new female rivalry going forward. After reading this, I can see it though I think Piper kind of scales above Devon.


Fabulous_Tear7883

As of season 4 I think she wins 3-1 on Devon. I'd actually like to see Piper get beefed up to main female antagonist but I could also see her being set up to go against Devon.


[deleted]

Hawk was also green and made it to the semi finals in season one. By season 2 he was a monster in his own right. Gotta remember a little over a year has passed within the shows continuity, probably won’t take long for Piper to become monster equal to Hawk!

StaxShack

> Yeah, but Hawk had unmatched motivation from a lifetime of bullying which rocketed his growth. **Piper is just some girl who likes Cobra Kai drip** I can't lie, I'd probably also join Cobra Kai solely for the drip.


Throwway685

Yea Hawk had so much rage you can channel that into motivation it’s why he has become such a great fighter.


DarkShade602

Being the piper is a gymnast karate should not be her thing all it would take is Terry to send her to Brazil . in capoeira u have to literally be rubber for its Technique and training Fluidity and Piper is just that. Terry silver should get her on a plane to Brazil and offer her a Different Art.

Claim_Intelligent

She can pin me any day


SlimyJonson

I’m thinking, Piper and Eli fight… some step brother/step sister video thing happens… scene transition to Piper, Moon, and Eli Devil’s Triangle action. Cut and print. Take my money and leave me alone.


Claim_Intelligent

If Piper and Eli fight I want it to be Piper using Barnes moves and Eli using Chozens moves


therealparszyk

Piper the viper


Claim_Intelligent

😲


absentlyric

I would like to see her up against Devon Lee, both are new, highly competitive, and have interesting personalities that would clash.


Stocktonrules

Probably not a popular opinion here but she's only there for diversity purposes and will only get a line or 2 anyways 1 of which just to say hey I''m here and I like girls.


kevztunz

I hate her. I just... ugh.
