TLO tell his friend that HE can't beat Pikachu.

*double check top \ source... * yup, pretty sure.

He probably meant Pikachu could beat him.
As in, she would give him a good game.

Damnit TLO, just go catch a ground type pokemon. They're super effective!

Hopefully she keeps up the practice and stays competitive for the next competition. I like that these interview questions were less serious.

Not exactly, because if the statement was that 'Pikachu could beat him' then it's also possible that he could beat Pikachu, they're not mutually exclusive.

if tlo couldn't beat Pikachu, that means Pikachu would always beat TLO, a big difference from Pikachu being able to beat TLO

Really good interview, she has excellent taste in units.

thanks for the translation - reminds me of a Korean classmate of mine...we played BW a while, he stomped me, and then he told me that his wife was a lot better than him O_O his wife is around 30-32 I think, probably close to the same age as our Pikachu here

gaming definitely gets a different reception in Asian countries, much more accepted by the parents and girls don't automatically discount you because you like to game (it's pretty much expected)

I'm surprised no one's really made the "a-move onto my dick" joke

Kudos to her tho. Her play was pretty good, even if the opposition wasnt the best.

Ehhh...I kinda feel like...who cares? There are much better players than her and it's silly to get worked up over a girl just because she plays Starcraft. Most girls I know that play video games are far less than desirable and I see no immediate reason why I would prefer her over someone more outgoing and accomplished.


Are you talking about her playing skills or dating her? Sounds like your sizing her up like a potential mate.

Don't you see his name? Dude's gotta be picky about women. They must be clambering over each other just to catch a glimpse of his perfect (and gilded!) body.

Just a small discrepancy I thought I'd point out - in the thread title her last name is spelled "Liao" whereas in the OP her last name is "Lao"

Doesn't really matter but... small things like this peeve me a bit lol
