Whoops!  I think John is right here.  The fact that different styles favour
different fighting rhthyms (sp?) does probably affect fights to some
degree.  On the other hand, some styles fighting rhthyms also tend to favour
numbers which can get them a lot of losses at that level.  This is purely
guesswoork here, but I bet that if TP Scum's favorite rhthym is 1-1-1 x-P he
doesn't use it that much.  He'd get massacred by the massive levels of
attack up there that his parry can't totally handle, and
his defense wouldn't be up enough for at AL 1.  Therefore, even
though style may play a part here, even that factor is probably
only of some consideration. For more on this, I'm going to post
something on what I've heard about the different styles in
Primus, and why some work better than others.
