Rub it in, Wolfie Wildfire, rub it in.
It’s not like you can do no sin.
Sometimes the enemy is pride, not loss
when you let it be the boss.
A comprehensive win, there’s no doubt,
but now we look for the shout.
Winning the game because of a slip?
That’s like losing to a tail trip.
He’s beat, it seems, but not yet defeated.
His determination can’t be metered
But has he impressed you all the same?
Can he be your secret in the game?
Was your error since your first goal , Kai : show to Rex you were weak in stamina and fast run (last panel : https://www.twindragonscomic.com/comic/one-point/)
For the actual strip , Rex is lucky this isn’t a glass panel holding the basket ^_^”
Yeah, breaking a glass pane wouldn’t have been the greatest idea. I don’t think stamina would have mattered a lot against Rex, it wouldn’t have given Kai better technique or anything.
Seeing how your challenger is weak and slow , you have just to put the game to your own rhythm and he’ll collapses soon ^_^
Well nowadays its more plexiglass than glass so it holds out better. Thoo rip bending the hoop
HEH? Rex has emperor eye? Thats cheating!
Kai just lost his footing.
Or did he…
You know sir, I had a jerk of a coach in my high school, who’s team was a winning team and he felt that that he just didn’t need anyone else on his team, even though the schools policy was for students to try out for team sports. I tried and ( i’m 6′ 7″) unlike Kai, I whipped his butt. I assumed that I might have a spot on his team. Wrong, he basically told me to get out of his gym and a few other things. What neither of us noticed was the principle of the school was watching. What in-sued next, I was told about, because I had said a few things to him as well (I do have a short fuse) and I stormed out. I was offered a spot on his team but I declined. What would be kind of nice, if Kai’s principle was some where in the wings watching this, and offered Kai a spot on the team.
Funny how this story line resembles your experience a bit. I should add a disclaimer that it’s purely coincidental xD
Ouch. I have no other words for this. Just ouch. That has to hurt both his tail and his pride. Probably not too badly though; dragons are tough, and was he really expecting to win after 20-2? You did your best Kai. You can never expect more than that from someone. I’d say you’re the real winner here for going so long without crashing with that Stamina of yours. Still, looks like someone’ll be getting hit with a potion. Sorry about that buddy. Robin? I know I say it every time, but that’s because every time you deserve it. Amazing work. Keep it up!
I typed my own email wrong.
lol,i do that sometimes
That happens, typo’s are a common thing :p
So, the potion drawing will be coming soon. Did you get enough data to brew a good potion for Kai 😀
Most people’s suggestions for Kai were potions for if he won. I don’t think people wanted to be known as “That person that ruined Kai’s day.” xD Currently I’m leaning towards either turning him tie-dye for the day or making him a foot shorter for the day. Of course, someone could make a final shot here. I’ll let the final decision rest with you Robin. As for Rex, his prize will be a mix of two of my favorite potions. The first one will make him unable to feel tired for the day, but then once it wears off he’s basically just going to fall asleep before he even has time to say “I’m tired.” The other one is essentially super-caffeine. It lets him move up to ten times faster than normal. Of course, that’s ten times as tiring. It also has potential side effects, which you so kindly demonstrated Robin. xP Welp, have a great day everyone! Let’s see what happens!
Kaya’s outfit is nice for halloween , but Benji’s one is so LOL ^_^”
Benji was very committed when he made his costume :p
This has been a good case of reality ensues (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/RealityEnsues).
It will be interesting to see the fallout from this.
Yeah, having Kai win this would have made him some sort of basketball wonderkid which I didn’t really want to do. He has a week worth of basketball training, that won’t do him any good against a seasoned player like Rex :p
i admire the cuphead costume
It’s really admirable. Benji went all out :p
I noticed that Rex did not call Kai “Shrimp” this time! (Is “Kiddo” a step above “Shrimp”?) 🙂
I am still liking Rex, so far. The previous strip made me a bit nervous, but he seems to have done all his scoring without cheating, or even cheap tricks; all done with skill. I’m not sure what he did in this strip, but it appears he just used his skill and practiced quickness to get ahead of Kai so that Kai got his own feet tangled trying to keep up with Rex’s move. I think the next strip with really show Rex’s character. 🙂
(…and, Kaya has the best costume!)
That’s indeed what happened. Kai is exhausted and couldn’t keep up with his own feet. I don’t know where Kiddo stands compared to Shrimp. We should get a chart xD
If only Kai could have gone down with dignity.
Ah well. Your mouth tried to cash a check your body couldn’t and now it’s time to pay the piper Kai. At least you still have your moral grounds if nothing else.
He went down ON his dignity :p
but i dont get why kaya is in a dragon costume when she is a dragon XD
it’s a demon
She’s a demon, so she gets wings :p
oh,i feel stupid XD
Nice kuroko reference there! 😀
Thanks, it was unavoidable :p
“It’s all Greek to me!” 🙂
Looks like it’s game over. Hope Rex doesn’t make Kai do anything crazy.
