My Insights

After a long night of poker last night, I was dropping Karthik off at his place when I decided to challenge him to a game of Tekken. Now those of you who know Karthik, Tekken is the only thing he talks about. He has this player called Paul and Karthik knows all of his secret moves and such.

So we start playing and I pick this random player called Nina. I beat him in the first game and Karthik shakes it off saying that it was only his first game. He manages to beat me in the second game. However, the third game around, I beat him two rounds in a row. That makes the score 2-1 in my favor. So since this was a rare occurance, I said thats it Karthik! Best out of 3 and I won.

But no was not to be taken as an answer by Karthik so he challenges me to another two games so that the score is best of 5 instead of best of 3. I said OK … and the next game, I get beat.

So it all comes down to this last fifth game -
Round 1) I beat Karthik but take some beating myself
Round 2) Karthik knocks me out early in the round

At this point, the tension is mounting and the whole scenario rests on this last round. But I am not to falter or get nervous.

Round 3) I beat Karthik without taking a hit! “PERFECT” said the screen.

I was jumping up and down in jubilation. I think this is the last time I am playing Tekken 4 because I know Karthik is at home practicing with Paul and I frankly have proved my point - I can beat Karthik at Tekken.
