I think that I am in the middle, I start out playing fair, but if I find a
weakness, I will hit it (not untill he is dead ... just to weaken him).

I was playing at an arcade that is not my home arcade and just got PISSED OFF
by those who know all of those shitty moves that are made for those who want
to "beat people". (I think I am above average, so these moves are REAL CHEAP!)

At the arcade that I am used to, everyone plays fair (for the most part), I 
would rather lose a game and laugh, than win a game with a cheap ass player, 
being upset about the tactics of the other.

I think that others may agree with this.
