I once ran a lunger set up much like the one you've got, only not as smart
and faster.  I've got 2 works: Dark Arena.  Well, actually, no, I DA'ed
mine, but since you've got skills, I'd fight him for, oh, 10 fights and
see what he's like.  You might try 10-6-6-L.  That's more a power lunge
strategy (in my experience, anyway), but it could get you more hits...

I never was very good at lungers, although the 2 best guys I've had were
both lungers.  Well, them and a TP... :)

Anyone from Riztab (#13, I think)?

Later,
  Jim
