I cracked up when I saw the first &quot;SICK&quot; popup, and the slow motion was pretty fun.  I even found out you could aerial slash during the slow motion, which helped a lot.  I ended up getting the ultimate victory.  :D\r<br\/>\r<br\/>You could probably make this sort of thing into a more complete game if you wanted.
