Because of how we were educated it is likely that taller people intimidate us to some extent so how about you guys?

Taller people don't usually intimidate me unless I have a specific reason to believe that they could physically best me. Only chumps are intimidated by height alone.

I got in a fight with a 6'5 guy in high school when I was 15. Was 5'5 but the funny thing was we were probably the same weight. Next day he brought a knife to school and was going to stab me apparently but the cops came.

What if it's a tall person who weights 200lbs of pure muscle?

I'm assuming by 200 lbs of pure muscle you mean about 10-15% bodyfat or so. In that case, he might intimidate me, but he also might not. I'm pretty strong, myself, from lots of practice at powerlifting, so it would come down to other factors, also.

Damn...what school did you go to?
-
I'm not intimidated by taller people because I'm afraid they might beat me up but rather because I feel inferior about it nowadays.
-
Whenever I see someone taller than me I just assume they have a 4" dck which is probably true and then I just take a look at my 8-incher and I'm not intimidated anymore

I can't speak about his experience, but I fought a 6'2 guy when I was like 5'5 in 7th grade. He was the worst fighter I've ever seen in my life.

I always fought shorter kids but that was because I was taller than average. Being aggressive is what matters.

Height can matter, but I think it can be overrated in a fight.

My martial arts instructor always talks about the long legs and weight, if a student has both he will give them special preference.

Reach matters a lot more.

Rocky Marciano didn't have a good reach his arms looked short and he was a successful fighter.

He had a lot more going for him, though.

I'm more intimated by a big, wide upper body, and long powerful arms than height.

Do you guys think we'll be worse fighters after limb lengthening?
As in, no matter what we do we will never have the potential of a naturally tall person.

Not necessarily, but it depends (mostly on reach)... GSP is 5' 10", but has a 6' 4" reach (extremely rare). Ryan Bader is 6' 2", but has a 6' 2" reach. It's not just reach though, Bader is punching GSP from a greater height, which is an advantage in most cases . If GSP lengthened his legs so he is 6', it might mitigate Baders height advantage in a fight (remember, this is mostly because GSP has the reach, but not the height)

Why do you think that?
-
Why do you think that?
I don't think anything because I don't know what properties are important in a fight. That's why I asked you guys.
I feel like longer legs with smaller muscles should make one slower no?

You can build up muscle again after ll, plus new muscle cells grow to fill in the gap during ll, so I don't think it would be a problem.

6'3 is legit domination.

Nah looser at 6'0. bigger looser at 6'3. beta for life. cant be changed no matter how much height is added.
Imagine a guy never been 6'0 before and becomes that after LL. hooooly shiieeet.

As I understood it the muscls will grow but they won't actually lengthen -hence the muscle tightness and reduced agility most ll patient experience. A lot of tibia patients said their calfs grew really big but it never covered the whole bone like it did before. So even though you might be as strong as a naturally taller guy you won't be as agile or quick.
