There needs to be a level of cooperation in order for competition to be interesting, at least to me. 

 Poor two second analogy, but I have to be willing to admit you hit me in the head.  I didn't block it.  I didnt tense me neck muscles at just the right time to absorb the force.  I didn't open my mouth and bite your fist at the last second.  I'm not actually a master of the Iron Jaw technique and therefore you didn't actually just break your own fist in my face.

You got me.  It hurt.  I'm probably bleeding.  My bell is a little rung.  I'm gonna have to adapt.  I wasn't ready for that.  Fucking ouch man.  Damn.

>True, although I do think having a plan for scenes on top of that would help as well. That way you actually know which way the plot is going to go rather than just making up in the moment.
