cobra maneuver

More from the ongoing SSF saga: So I finally get behind the flock with enough time to spare. I waxed three, and I was getting ready to take out the fourth. I was right behind him! I mean, the shot doesn't get any prettier than that. I hear the lock, launch the missile, and fire my guns for good measure. But next thing I know, I'm approaching him too fast and his plane is almost on the vertical. That's when I realized the damn plane did the Cobra maneuver!!! I fell for a damn air show trick! The missile flies right under him and he manages to get behind me, and I ended up running out of time trying to get him back in my sights!! So close, but yet so far!

Heh, I was just talking about playing Sega Strike Figher in the student center arcade during my lunch break again. Its what passes for "excitement" in my dull life.

I thought you spent your time hitting on all the college chicks.

Eh, I talk a lot of shit. I'm not as outgoing and gregarious with the ladies in real life. (And I'm also kind of lazy!) I think I've only made a play for three girls in the past three years, and was largely unsuccessful for various reasons.
