It just occured to me. These girls are golems. They are absolutely ridiculously strong. I’m just trying to comprehend the amount of force Jin would have needed to hit Bud with to actually knock her down.
Not as much as you think. I can get you to drop to the ground by pushing you at a (non-sensitive) spot of your head. I just need to prevent the other bits and pieces of the lever (that is the rest of your body) from compensating. Jin does the prevent bit by giving the lever (Bud in this case) no time to compensate.
Being the right amount of drunk can actually help keeping you upright. Been there myself. Got ambushed in a park by a gang. One of them tried to kick me in the back of my head but I turned just in time to block it with my face…
Chance had it that I was drunk just enough that I didn’t register any pain, but still wasn’t about to spontaneously fall over. The kick did a number on my face and sent my glasses flying in three directions, but I just staggered one step back and made some verbal comment about how lucky I was to find such a nice group of piss ants to rip apart on such a nice night. Unfortunately they felt I had ruined their elaborate script by ad-libbing and ran away.
Now I’ve never been in a fight before nor had I trained for it. The cursing was the booze talking and if they had stayed around it would soon have been obvious that without my glasses I was next to blind.
I remember a DnD 3.X Character I helped someone make, she was a Gnome Fighter, so she had a high strength, 16 I think. Her drag weight was about 25X her body weight. Being a gnome fan, I designed the shoes she had to wear to actually drag anything given that when a 40 pound creature applies force to a 1000 pound load, the 1000 pounds is not going to move appreciably towards the 40 lbs. (It involved steam driven pitons that dug 6 inches into the ground-gnomes, you know)

“Like a wrecking ball” would probably be apt.

Forgot: Surprise attacks do miracles. If you can’t brace for impact it takes less force to get you on the floor.

See Bud. I told you so
