Victory is boring

[Lionx]

Dreddz i meant more in terms of non-scrubs, those that adapt to what you do and learn, and come back stronger. Sure you can beat them now, but they will learn from their mistakes(possibly recording themselves) and kick your ass next time, forcing you to get better, which then forces them to get better(rinse & repeat). A real player/competitor, not scrubs(not to be confused with the term newb).

Thats mainly what i mean mostly, especially those in Tournaments with 2/3 matches. Sure you got em the first time, but he analyzed you and will know how to deal with you better the second/third time around...adaptation from my opponent keeps me coming back.

The application of your understanding of your character vs matchups/others, the changing mind of the opponent, seeing new random techniques from an old game still own you, and even sometimes the trash talk is fun xD. Most of all, if the game has enough mind games, it will keep me going to be one step ahead of the competition. I mean i might have alot of game-knowledge, but sometimes the mind-game/psychology of the game can still get to me (especially in 3rd strike or against a rushdown N Groover/P Groover in CvS2) turning your brain to mush/forcing you to change the way you play. Its frustrating, yet fun :3 Knowing that theres alot of thought put into every button press.

If you understand what i am trying to get at. The game never gets old/easy, just like Super Turbo is now.
