    So me and Gambit went around 15 matches or so, most of which I had won. (I don't know the exact score because my matches from previous players carried over, and it was just a big mess trying to figure it out.) In return, here's a few things I learned:
     
    - I am staying away from Gambit and his damn long-armed Dhalsim.
    - If I am going to jump OVER Dhalsim's special fireball, do it BEFORE he jumps over it, so I don't jump directly into it.
    - I didn't know it was possible to hit the first two Somersault Kicks in Guile's Ultra and miss the third. I was like, "wtf?" That happened twice.
    - Kudos to Gambit for living wherever he lives, we had four bars when we boxed. It was pretty awesome.
    - Thank you for not spamming the butt attack from E. Honda that so many other players seem to do.
     - Gambit's Ryu is seriously legit. He took me to town when he played as him. Is that your main? Damn. I got fucking whooped. I was hoping you would eventually go back to him and kick my ass around the level a little more.
     
    So yes, all of my talk of not being able to connect to people is still true, just live where Gambit lives and we can play. :p
     
    But seriously Gambit, good games man. It was hella fun playing with you.

    Awwwwwww snaaaap. Gambit got beat by Guile!  He lives in the Alabama and yes his internet is pretty good.
      
    I was talking to him while he played you and I think the shit his pants when you jumped into his ultra. Ive never heard him laugh so hard and frankly it scared the crap out of me. I thought he was dying or something.

    LMAO. Yeah, I was like, "oh dude, this will be easy to avoid," and as soon as he jumped I jumped between him and the fireball and I was cracking up so hard. It was a fluke accident because it was just a knee-jerk reaction, but the way it played out was so hilarious.

    I wasn't sure he was talking about you after reading the first post! Honda, sim...I was kind of like "what the fuck?" I have got to see you play dhalsim! Did you try to rush down or do the typical turtling?

    His Ryu and Fei Long are more formidable than his Dhalsim. I'm never sure how to go after Dhalsim when I fight him, honestly.

    Ken's fireball game is poop, that's why everyone online has switched to Ryu or Sagat. I can't even use ex dash punches too much against those guys because they recover so fast. But your ken was pretty damn good. And I'm really not that good with everybody, I can play decent with a handful of characters, but Balrog is clearly my best. You wrecked me when I tried Rose and Vega though. And I was laughing so hard when I picked Ken to mirror match you and won with a mashed out srk. lol, only online I guess.

    Yeah I thought that was pretty funny when you got me on that Ken vs Ken match. It was my fault though, I should have stopped trying combos the first time you pounded out an srk, but I didnt. You were smart enough to shorten your strings when I was trying to see how good your rog links were.
     
    I was getting really frustrated missing so many fadc's when I was going for ultras as well as cancels on blocked fierce srks. I could not afford to make any mistakes against your Balrog. I enjoyed it though, I don't really get to play against many rog's in G1, let alone good ones. You also taught me I have a filthy fucking mouth, be glad I was not chatting with you, you would never want to play again!

    UPDATE
     
    So Gambit and I ended up boxing for a little over an hour, and I recorded all of it. The final score was 10 (me) - 15 (Gambit). What I will do is upload (almost) everything next week when I have time, because I don't have time this week or weekend.
     
    The general gist of the matches is this basically: we started out even for the first couple of matches, and then he raped me for about 10 rounds because I didn't smarten up and counter his tactics properly, and he switched to other characters and I ended up on a 12 win streak or so. Anyway it was fun and even when Gambit was winning, we were both a few attacks away from defeat so it was neck and neck for a good portion of the rounds. There's also a good amount where he absolutely dominated me and vice versa.

    Yeah I noticed you were mashing srk during my block strings so I just stopped early to get a free punish but you lucked out that you were able to fadc it a few times haha. And I think everyone curses when playing, I know I do.
