My current predilection towards fighting games makes these essays about competition and competitive gaming inevitable. Since I am still playing King of Fighters XIII, also being rather miserable at it, I figure I can give a few tips to those aspiring to basic competency. Or, at least, display the accumulated wealth of information that I can convey. To employ one of the most over-used Scripture verses…well, ever:
All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work.
My words obviously don’t carry the same weight, but I would hope the influence of Scripture comes through whatever I write. Even about fighting games. I think I can get a pass for using 2 Timothy 3:16-17 in that context.

The Iliad – One of the great works of human civilization, and one of its oldest, Homer’s epic poem tells the classic tale of the Trojan War – at least the end of it. This ten year siege captured the imagination of generations specifically through that much-discussed horse trick (you know the one, please tell me you do), but the Iliad’s more concerned with the people involved than any one specific event.
