"Dude, I am not playing that stupid game with you!"
"Bw-buh-huh—what!? Guilty Gear is so not stupid, dude. It's like, one of the best fighting game franchises ever made! And this is the best one!"
"Oh my god, I don't care! I just hate the big guy!"
"What do you mean big guy, what, do you mean Potemkin?"
"For god's sake, of course I mean Potemkin! What other guy is that big!"
"Uh, duh? Leopaldon?"
"See, I don't even know who that is! Of course I'm talking about Potemkin!"
"You could've meant Faust. He's, like, massive."
"He's not even that big, he's just tall."
"Oh my god, nevermind! Dude, what's even your problem with Potemkin?"
"I just hate him!"
"You can't just hate Potemkin, what's wrong with you? He has a—a rich, rich pathos; he's one of the coolest characters in the whole game. You haven't even played through his arcade modes."
"Oh my god dude I don't even care about that stuff! You just melt my health bar with him in like two seconds every time we play!"
"You can't say you hate Potemkin because of that, dude you—you can't just do that, that's not Potemkin's fault!"
"What, what am I supposed to say, that I hate Potemkin players?"
"Dude, that's a generalization. Just say you hate fighting Potemkin, and then like, y'know, get good or something—"
"I hate you! Is that any better? Just hand me the damn controller."
"Right-o."
"Only playing this since we lost the Tekken 3 machine. You know I'd kick your ass if you had anything on here but Tekken tag!"
"Not relevant right now! Consider: You could always counterpick."
"You keep telling me that, I don't even understand how the guy plays!"
"You don't even have to, just get sword and you win! It's like, totally no-effort."
"I don't even know how to use the sword, so I don't even care! Ugh, Christ, just pick someone else."
"I thought you hated my Chipp."
"At least if I can land a hit on you I know you're dead."
"Pssh, complaining about Potemkin when you play Slayer. That is a classic Slayer main move."
"Now you're the one generalizing."
"Oh-gh—wh—oh my god, shut up and pick a stage!"
"One second, what's the wiki for this called again, I'm gonna open it on my phone."
"It's called Dustloop, like the combo. D-U-S, T, L-O—"
"-O-P. Yeah, yeah, I can spell."
"..."
"...Ugh, I forgot these guys use that weird number notation! This suuuucks."
"Numpad notation is ideologically superior, and by far the most accessible means of describing inputs! I'm not having this fight with you again."
"Whatever."
"Chyeah. Whatever. You down for Third Strike after this?"
"Eh, sure."
