	I'm curious...how do you run him? I have a lunger from the Orccon
'91 tourney, and he is: 11(10)-12(10)-7-15-21-4-17. He started Adex Attack.
He now has Admaster Attack, Master Init, Adex Def, and Ex Decise. The only
problem is how to run him. He's slow as hell. He just got beaten by an
Aimed Blow who almost killed him. The guy jumped my lunger and just beat the
crap out of him. My lunger's record is 16-11-1, but I can't seem to get him
to AD. How do you run your guy against faster opponents? 4-9? 6-9? If I take
the Init away, I almost surely will win, but the problem is to do it before
getting hit and going down. Well...thanks for your time.
