I'm not sure that I understand the complaints about headons here. I would have taken the shot if I'd had the opportunity, and I fully expect that my opponents would do the same.
There was a reason XJ blacked out and was incapable of sealing the deal, and that's because choices he'd made earlier in the fight cost him dearly. Saying that someone wouldn't have shot you down if they hadn't wounded you is tantamount to saying that someone wouldn't have shot you down if they hadn't taken taken off your tail or wing. These things are part of the fight. Do not allow them to happen to you, and you will win the fight.
You're a fine stick, XJ, but it sounds like you lost this fight fairly. I don't understand all the bellyaching and chest pounding going on by both sides.
