Good idea, especially PRs and other WSs.  The attack should cut through enough
to beat these guys.

I'd be happy just to get him there, regardless of what happens once you're
there.

Not a bad idea, except this guy is going to get put out by the same hit that
drives him desperate a lot.  I still like go for the riposte, but only for this
guy, not wastes in general.

Good idea, but not taken far enough.  When you kick it in you have to be the on
the attack, so go all out.  10-2/4/6-10 definately in minute 2.  8-2/4-8 is
good for minute 3, though.

>Good luck.  Why does everyone else get all these good rollups.

That's what I'd like to know, too.
