You can be sorry if you're going against the fast-paced flow of casual matches where win/lose doesn't really matter, moreover among friends, but never ever, never ever - be sorry for having your own style of play. Don't let anyone tell you different. The only reason people get mad COULD be:

1) perhaps they don't feel the need to invest more effort or patience than you, to go for the WIN

2) perhaps they feel threatened that by blocking some/all/most of their block strings, it becomes ineffective hence reflect on their own character inadequacies. That way, you've already won the match psychologically

3) perhaps they have the perception that turtlers are boring to play against, which INFHO is indeed not interesting but also offers a unique challenge, as I am presented with more attacking options this way while the opponent figures out how to punish any of my mistakes. More importantly, it provides good training experience against similar turtlers. Face it, defensive players are around and here to stay so what can we do about it?

People who don't adopt and evolve will always be at the losing end - regardless if they play rush or turtle.

Food was good and reasonably priced, Alan. Don't worry. Although Peter mentioned why his Chicken Chop a bit more "hangus" than mine and Abel's. LOL. Perhaps add more new item in menu like "Hokkien Mee with extra Chu Yau CHar", "Chu Yoke" Noodles, "Ku Lou Yuk" Rice or even Marmite "Pai Kuat" Rice?

Speaking like a rich b@stard: Hmmm. Taito Vewlix. Interesting. I don't mind having one or two of those in my living room. How much does one of those retails for?

Hey Peter your Guile is the most offensive Guile I've seen so far :].

I think the new system (Focus attack) of the game is designed to break through the defense of players who're 100% on the defensive side. I think they would be defeated by a good Zangief or El Fuerte player .

Even though the game is less exciting, I don't mind fighting them because there are lots of ways to punish them when they block or crouch too much including jumping attacks, crouching unblockable special attacks from Rufus and Balrog, OVERHEAD attacks (i.e front medium punch for Ryu and Akuma), grapples, level 3 focus attacks and finally RAGING DEMON !!! Everything is part of the game!

At least most of us just love our offensive games. What's the point of playing a 'fighting game' if you don't fight or attack?

Hey Michael & Nick & Peter how come you all didn't join the major competition last month? If good players from your group competed the top 3 positions would change .
