There are two fighting characters that suit <Sim name>'s unique style of keypad flailing: Bobby Kitaki, the bamboo wielding sushi chef, or Johnny O'Shea, the charismatic musical theatre star turned fighter out for revenge. <Sim name> mashes with both characters equally well - who should <he/she> bring into the fight? | Bobby Kitaki | |

If not, <Sim name> must change <his/her> gamer tag to "Loser".
