The thrill of the fight
I can't say that I have a competitive nature. Losing doesn't sting that bad...at least not all the time. I've had my bitter moments when I've lost to what I felt was an easy opponent who loved to spam super moves. There are also times when I stay hunched in a corner for the entire match wondering if I'm ever going figure out how to beat this guy. Other moments include the "how the hell does he know I was going to do that" shouting. All these and more are the different reasons I come back time and time again. Its the thrill of knowing what your opponent is going to do, the ecstasy of landing a combo leading directly into a super move for the overkill, the last hit in a final round that decides victory or defeat. This is the thrill of the fight.
