    This is how we used to do it with SF2 on SNES.

    One of us is constantly beating the crap out of everyone else with a particular character? Switch it up.

    Or learn to counter whatever they’re doing to win.

    Dhalsim’s endless string of “Tiger!Tiger!Tiger!Tiger!Tiger!Tiger!TigerUppercut! You! Win!” was eventually conquerable with the right combination of moves and that wasn’t even player skill, it was a shortcoming in the game’s internal timing (that was bad enough that it overwrote the existing playing sound effect while you were doing it).

        Yeah, oops, I was thinking Sagat and somehow typed Dhalsim.

        Dhalsim was YOGA fire, which is I think what happens when they schedule the chili cook off at work on the same day as beginner’s downward-facing-dog practice.
