So…apparently kicking everyone’s butt in Tekkan is not a good way to endear oneself to your boyfriend’s friends.
Or their girlfriends.
So, in my defense, I really tried to fight super fair. I made sure never to cheese, I purposely switched up between characters and combos instead of utterly destroying people. I even lost once (though it was pretty obvious that it was because I had no idea how to use Lady Gaga…I mean, Lilli).
Anyhoo, after playing for a very short amount of time, my boyfriend’s friend’s girlfriend (say that five times fast) got up and left in a huff. I had hoped to convert a girl to gaming, and instead she left after one round!
Next, after being defeated twice more, her boyfriend left as well.
When only my boyfriend and I left, it became a little boring, because I kept winning, so we stopped too.
I have seen these boys play against other guys who destroy them in other games, and they never give up! But me beating them just wasn’t fun to them.
Basically, I am wondering if perhaps, in the future, I should throw the match a few times.
I have been given much to ponder. Any advice, menfolk?
They tried to tell me Nina sucked…I told them they didn’t know how to play, LOL.

I wouldn’t throw any matches. Let them deal with the fact that you are better than them. C’est la vie!
thanks for the input! But maybe as guys you dont have to worry about your girlfriend’s friends liking you! Maybe this is only a concern to me because I want my boyfriend to not feel bad about bringing me around his friends…
Don’t throw matches!
I grew up playing games against a friend that just seemed naturally good at every game, ever. I can’t say I *never* beat him, but it was extremely lopsided. What I find, though, is that when I then play against someone else, I tend to be better than *them*. Competition helps you learn. If you throw matches, you just reinforce bad gaming habits in your opponents.
. . . on second though, if you want to continue to dominate, I guess you can throw a few matches so they think they’re playing well, when in fact, they’re not. >:) [evil laugh]
LOL I never thought of it that way. It’s actually for their own good! Thanks for helping with perspective there!
