Dang, this was looking like a good one. Cro Cop was kicking, but his health was trash (note to his team - toughness is your friend). But Shamrock is a bit more developed, and withstood those epic kicky-times, got into sub-situations, and landed the subby wubs. Cro Cop looks on at his legs, with a look of heartbroken betrayal across his face. "What ever happened to CCKCCW?" he says, sadly. A single tear escapes from the corner of his eye, and he races to the back, just as the floodgates open, and rains down across his face and soul.
