The last "man" standing? How presumptuous! In fact, that reminds me, there are also a bunch of "Mr." this and "Mr." that running around, all trying to be hotshot Trust members (or renegade Trust members, perhaps)...I've scarcely seen such a chauvinistic naming convention. I was *this* tempted to name my user profile "Ms.Mutou" instead, mostly because "YuGiJoou" has one too few "u" in it, but I'm tempted to make the three or so friends I have with this game re-register me with the new copy of my save data and the new friend code that would come with it.

But that's fine. I'm sure that by simple demographics, the assumption is more than valid enough in the bigger picture.

Speaking of making what few friends I apparently have go through a lot of trouble, one of them happens to be present in this match. Say hello to "Mr.L," who I forgive for the title of "mister" because it's a reference to another game that I thoroughly enjoy and I find it to be a rather clever manipulation of the game's naming patterns towards a more interesting end...even if that doesn't happen to be why he did it at all.

You may also notice that this is the first time I'm able to show you the whole process of between-match preparations. This game mode has a maximum length of 8 minutes imposed upon it, so there was definitely time to spare to show it off. I believe if I ever get other matches that allow for it, I'll leave this segment intact, but in the case of ten-minute (or twenty-minute) games, I'm afraid I'll have no choice, unless they get cut short by players jumping ship.

I think I probably see too much of the Streets...but maybe it's my imagination.
