- You're just going to have to get better, that's all there is too it. You
- have to make them respect your ability. A master switching off with a
- sucky guy isn't a big deal really; because if the master respects you and
- even if he still won the first round he's not gonna let the sucky guy fight
- you in the second round, because you'll win the second round and there's a
- possibility that the master could lose the third round.
-
- Now two masters switching off is another thing altogether. Case in point,
- the two Dhalsim masters here - yuck. They just keep switching off, winning
- match after match; now this really doesn't bother me. But what does bother
- me is when someone finally beats them in the third round. Now there's
- usually a bunch of tokens on the machine's dash, so it's sort of a wait
- if you want to play. Then some guy will come up to the side that the two
- masters were switching off on because he feels that it's his turn. Then
- one or the other Dhalsim master will that it's his turn because it was
- originally the other master's token so they can both get back on the
- machine right away. Well this pissed the guy off. So when the Dhalsim
- masters avenged themselves on the person who had taken their token, the
- guy that they previously pissed off came in right after that match with
- Vega and just did the screaming eagle suplex or backdrop or whatever it
- is you Vega players call it for the entire two rounds. The Dhalsim
- masters were helpless. I know the guy was pissed and the Dhalsim masters
- knew it too, because otherwise the guy normally would've come in with
- Guile. It was nice to watch.
-
- Incidently this guy that got the Dhalsim masters off the machine is one
- of the few players here that I have a genuine fondness and respect for.
- I don't know his name or anything and we've never really talked but I
- like him a lot.
