>When has he been dishonest?
Every time he gets into bed with Akane.  And the fact that he keeps
doing it.  I'd call that pretty damn dishonest myself.  Or are you some
sort of Ryouga fanboy who will find some way of making that perfectly
acceptable.  Just in keeping with the trend of calling people fanboys
here.

>He's just love starved.  No one's ever really been nice to him before he
>met Akane, and he's certainly never had a girlfriend.
No I call him fickle.  I mean Ranma disguises himself and claims to be
his fiance.  He says he knows about the curse and then Ryouga
proclaims that he will marry her.  I said that already didn't I.

>I didn't say that Ranma didn't have skill; just that Ranma didn't have
>enough skill to take on the tougher opponents without cheating.
By the same coin Ryouga doesn't have enough skill to beat Ranma
without learning some sort of instant win technique such as his beleif
in the bakusaitenketsu(sp) in killing Ranma instantly.  Myself I don't
think that using something that can help you win is cheating.  Though
there are certain boundaries to this rule.  Such as the no guns thing.

>>Hmm...I thought Ranma won using a HSH.
>The breasts thing was a distraction.
How were they the thing that allowed him to win.  Did they in themselves
cause Ranma to win?  If not it wasn't cheating.

>I'm pretty sure he could.  I mean, just throw his bandannas and Ranma and
>get him dodging, then toss a few shishi houkoudans at him and he's finished.
I'm pretty sure he doesn't use those bandanas that often.  Anyway from what
I have seen they don't do all that much damage in the first place.  Probably
only the Full shishi hokudan would seriously hurt Ranma.
