Oh yeah, that boxing game is pretty cool too. Only problem I had with that one is that after you win three or four fights, your arms are beat. (Well, mine were at least.)

This Mortal Kombat talk got me thinking....
Back in the mid 90s when it came out, Mortal Kombat was THE shit. There had never been a fighting game with as much character detail or bloody violence as it so obviously when it released, it was an instant hit. I went to a private middle-school on the Eastside of St. Paul & the only place in walking distance that had it was a bowling alley down the street. Me & my buddy would walk down there almost every single day after school and play. My school got out a half hour before the public schools in the area so for that half hour, we'd basically have the game all to ourselves. Then the public school kids would show up (almost all Asian) and they would utterly destroy us each and every day. Seeing as the common courtesy of the arcade world is that winner plays on, needless to say we'd quickly lose control of the machine & then be waiting for 15-20 minutes for our next turn (only to get our asses kicked again.) But what I never really understood was this... How the FUCK were they so damn good at it? I mean, we played it a lot & we weren't really slouches, but pretty much all of them could just destroy our asses every time. Then MK2 came out & me and my buddy thought we would get the edge on them (since we had a half hour jumpstart the very first day it came out) but no. Sure as shit, they showed up that first day the MK2 machine was there and proceeded to completely kick our asses again despite our half hour of warming up. WTF? It was baffling. Is there any logical explanation as to why asians are so damn good at video games? I have never understood it...

Longest I lasted in a row was 7, I was worn totally the hell out afterwards. That was the first time I played it, everytime after that me and my brother alternated. He used to always gloat about how much better than me he was, I always came back to that with..''That's 'cause you're a boxer asshole, how bout we go play Madden.''

I don't get it either. I used to play Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat all the time and was no slouche myself. I'd beat not all but the majority of the guys I played until an asian kid would show up and kick all our asses. I'm not even gonna get into Marvel vs. Capcom and other games of it's style, it's like they Matrix program that shit directly into their brain.

Did the one "like Cabal or Blood Bros." use the sam perspective or was it closer to NARC?
I have a friend who's Puerto Rican not Asian and while he's great at the arcade machines (can lock them up with infinate combos and other BS) I can actually beat him on the home games. I'm sure once he spent forever playing it and memorizing the home versions added moves/glitches he could win but I felt good taking him down in Marvel Vs. Capcom 2.
