Believe me, I've tried helping my friends but they just gave up. The only one who really tries hard to learn is my 8 year old daughter who plays a pretty mean mournful Kitana and can beat all my friends! My fiancee can't beat my daughter yet but I taught her the kun jin cheese game. Between us three, my friends stand no chance unfortunately
If a local scene pops up in Denver believe me I will head over, I've traveled for gaming before.
