- The rules are unwritten, and not enforced by the arcade, but by the
- whines and taunts of other players. In many places, it is a social

- YES! Fix the joysticks! The defensive crouch is obviously not working
- very well. No character should be able to hit you as you get up if
- you're in defensive crouch (unless they're attacking aerially, of

- your SF2 business) improve. Good luck!
