[Ragna has been hanging around Luceti Land for a few days now, remembering it as the first memorable thing that happened to him back when he first arrived in Luceti. Aside from a few mishaps back then, it was an okay place to hang. He remembers this, and decides to take full advantage of the place's attractions this time around. Which has mostly

Wait for an opening.

[black_onslaught]

Opening? [Ragna turns his head a bit to try and see who this guy was, not recognizing the voice. And he doesn't recognize the face either. With that, he just turns his attention back to the game, trying to do as this guy suggested and wait for an opening. Except that the AI Noel is just giving him a beatdown with little to no break in the combos.

And Ragna just ends up getting caught in a frame trap because he used too slow of a move.] What opening!?

[illusionarydoll]

[ Mad fraaaaay. Geez man, learn your matchups. ]

You were too slow, use a faster move. [ He'll look closely at the game a bit. ...Then at you, but won't question it. ]

There must be something fast you could counter with...

[black_onslaught]

[Ragna makes a growling noise, mostly because he realized that pressing that particular button really was really slow. And he knows for a fact that Noel isn't slow, so that's a bad try.

Ragna just mashes the A button in a machine gun punch attempt as soon as he gets himself to his feet in the game. It works, to an extent. He did a little bit of damage before eating another combo from the AI's low-high mix-up!] What the hell!

[illusionarydoll]

[ Ouch, he ate all that. ]

So, how many times has she done that now...?

[black_onslaught]

It's the only thing she's been doing to me! [There's bound to be some difficulty setting to work with here. Ragna is pressing all the buttons in an attempt to call mercy upon the cheating AI. But he's just missing terrible attacks and setting himself up for disaster.

Go figure.] Damn this game!

[illusionarydoll]

...

If it's the only thing she's been doing, then wouldn't you see it coming...? [ He thinks to himself. ]

Hey, let me see it.

[black_onslaught]

[...] Fine, go ahead. [He steps back, waiting to see what this guy can do. Because he's skeptical.]

[illusionarydoll]

[Walking up to the machine, he remembers to himself.]

...Right, there's no difficulty change on machines like this is there... [Well, looks like he'll just...play. He'll pick you against Noel.

WEBAL WAN. ACKSHUN.

He'll dash backwards, playing a more defensive game. Seeing an opening in one of Noel's 5D strings, he counters with a 623C, ending with axe kick.]

[black_onslaught]

[WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT] How the hell did you know I could do that!?

[illusionarydoll]

Just sorta did what came naturally I guess...

[Shoryuuuuuken. In any case, soon after he realizes that Noel's drives...your normals totally beat them. Have a little 5B Jesus kick into whatever terribad combo, Noel. Until finally, a win.

He'll stay quiet to witness your own defeat.]

[...

This guy is a wizard.] How... I don't... You...!?
