Once again, I must post my picks for the dream contest since my mail won't go
through.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------


I must say I agree with most of the results of the first round.  Here's what I
think about the second round.

>MATCH 1: RYU (SF2) vs KEN (SF2)
>
>This is it! Now that the imposters are out of the way, Ryu and Ken
>can now drop their pretense of buddyship and get down to the serious
>business of their famed eternal emnity!

I think I'm gonna have to buy american on this one.
Winner) Ken
(I know a lot of people think ryu is better, but I'm not a big player of either
and I just like Ken better.)

>Ryu: OH RYU KEN!
>Ken: OR YOU CAN!
>Ryu: ARE YOU CAN!
>Ken: ALL YOU CAN EAT!
>(etc... What *do* they say anyway? :)
>

According to my SNES instruction book it's: SHO-RYU-KEN.  Along with HA-DO-KEN
for the fireball and TATSU-MAKI-SEN-PU-KYAKU (I know, I know this is way off.)
for the hurricane kick.

>MATCH 2: DRAGON (WH) vs SHANG TSUNG (MK)
>
>Does Dragon feel lucky? Shang Tsung has just wasted the World Heroes
>boss character with a mere flick of his magic hand...
>

Yep, and he's gonna do it again.
Winner) Shang Tsung
(Never pit all of the MK charaters against one WH character.  It's no contest.)

>MATCH 3: JANNE (WH) vs GORO (MK)
>
>The shining chevalier vs. The big, bad monster....
>
>Goro (yelling incoherently): I'LL EAT YOU !!!!!
>Janne (answering bravely): My place is *not* in the kitchen....
>

Hmm, that's a tough one.  I think I'll have to give it to...
Winner) Janne
(She's about the only WH character that I really like, and I have never seen
Goro in action.  Where I play there's almost always at least two people at that
game at a time.)

>MATCH 4: DHALSIM (SF2) vs. SAGAT (SF2)
>
>Now *here's* an interesting match of clashing styles. Both
>characters have range powers, but in different manners, and both
>characters have long sweeping attacks...
>

Winner) Sagat
(I never liked Dhalsim too much.  Just about the only way I can win with him is
to use his cheap fire ball-kick technique.)

>MATCH 5: GUILE (SF2) vs RAIDEN (MK)
>
>Another style vs style match.  Not to mention personality match...
>It would seem for both Guile and Raiden you either just love them
>or just loathe them...
>

True, and I just happen to love Raiden.
Winner) Raiden
(This is my opinion, but I bet in the popular vote Guile will win.  There's
just too many more SF2 enthusiasts than MKers.)

>MATCH 6: VEGA (SF2) vs. E.HONDA (SF2)
>
>Small and fast vs. Big and slow. I asked earlier if Cage could knock
>Honda's head off... do you think Vega could cut into Honda's
>thick flabby skin?
>

Winner) Vega
(E. Honda should never have won the first match, much less this one.)

>MATCH 7: RASPUTIN (WH) vs SUB-ZERO (MK)
>
>Since Rasputin and Kano tied, they both get matches here. Which is
>better, monk magic or ninja magic?
>

Winner) Sub-Zero
(One of the best MK characters, next to Raiden of course, I wanna see if
Rasputin really does have a spine.)

>MATCH 8: CHUN LI (SF2) vs KANO (MK)
>
>This time I haven't forgotten any matches... :)
>I can't think of any comments... this is an odd match... Rather than
>opponents of opposing qualities, or opponents with a common ground,
>these two seem to be dissimilar at a 45 degree angle...
>

Winner) Chun Li
(She's always worked well for me on my SNES.  I never liked Kano that much
either.)
