assistant: Hey Tim,
 <Snip>
Um well, there isn't much more info i can give on Gen since i don't play him,
but, I'm about to master Charlie, the otherday, i was having a bit of fun and
i threw the same person (a challanger) 4 times in one round!!  That was
Funny!!  They got really pissed and kept saying "uh, what a fuckin cheap"
"look at that cheap cunt" and stuff like that.  But, to win with chalie, you
have to play defence, with the occasional attack here and there.  If you're
playing against Ken/Ryu/Akuma players, do sonic booms and if they start
chucking fireballs, jump over one and they usually don't know what do to,
they might attack, if they sweep, you can use duck medium kick which they can
not recover fast enough to block, then if you want, you can do sonic boom
which they cannot counter or do anything except with alpha counters.  If they
retaliate with a fireball, just press heavy punch and run away and do sonic
booms, if they fireball, jump, jump back, sonic boom and they will get sick
of it and try to hit you since time will almost be running out.
Sakura isn't the best, but if mastered is pretty cheap, played exactly like
Ken, EXACTLY.  Not like Ryu, like Ken since the medium kick hits bottom. Just
have to remember they if they jump, you should block and alpha counter or use
that dragon punch thingy with light punch since heavy will run forward and
make you get hit.  Otherwise, just use your wits.

assistant: Hey Vance,
Well, i am pretty good at it, but not against computer, just challengers :)
Still, i DID like it when it first came out, but then they changed it to 3
rounds to win, max 5 rounds and so i got sick of it.  Plus, it's more
expensive than most of the other games, $2 for a game, which is equivelent to
about $1.50-$1-70 but most games are $1 anyway...
Sure, :) different people like different games. :)

about sony beating there asses. They would make a whole lot more money. So
just rethink Mr. Master. You all are dumbasses in the video game bussiness.
You don't know crap. And Mr. Master, the name of "their new division" is
SegaSoft. Okay? And by the way, they arent using it for ALL platforms, yet.
Another thing to John, sega never did make time killers. The people that made
the game did. So don't call sega the dumbasses. They just released the game.
