Someone's gonna get hit sometime or another in a fight.  How can you say if
I get hit by a jab then I'm lame?  All that needs to happen is for you to 
mistime a fireball and you're dead.  He was allowed to get close because he
got there, that's why.  If I'm so fucking lame, I'd like to see you stop me 
from getting close.  I'm you're so fucking good, then could a Zangief get close
to you?  I guess not since you don't let people in that close, so you'd get
2 perfects EVERY time.  I guess that no one gets that close.  You must be
undefeated.  If I happen to throw you, you fall down and I'm close to you.
I guess you're never been thrown, so by default I'm lame.

No, it's not your fault.  But you will get hit with a jab at some time or
another in your life.  The point is that if you get hit by ONE of Guile's
jabs, the round is, for all intents and purposes, over.  No, it isn't your
fault, but it's a move that's unfair since if you get hit by the first hit,
you're dead.  Theoretically, it's a 20+ hit combo.  OBVIOUSLY, you block the
jab and don't let it hit you, but IF you get hit BY THAT ONE JAB, then you're 
dead.

So, I take it that you're so FUCKING good that you make it a point not to
let opponents get close.  So you block everything.  I guess you never lose,
unless time runs out, I suppose.

Well, if I hit you with ONE jab, you'll be resting your ass on the ground.
