Being one of the wimpier players, I'll have to disagree.  Around here,
it costs $0.50 to play.  It's too darned expensive to experiment and
develop one's own style!  Now that I'm getting a bit better at the game,
I do a little bit of experimenting in the earlier rounds, but do go back
to the "canned combos" when I'm getting into trouble.

If we actually knew the attack/recovery times for all the characters, it
might be possible to prove that there is an "optimal" combo for any given
character.  Why settle for less?

What if I'm not destined for greatness?  Can't I just enjoy the scenery?

You're probably quite good.  No doubts.  But the question is:
         Do the strong merely exist to prey on the weak?

So I know to be even *more* afraid? :-)
