I don't see nothing wrong with going all out in a casual, as you fight to win (while having fun obviously)... However, I feel that some people tend to be only one trick ponies, in the sense that you only have one 100% to give, and not say 4 or 5 100%s... I see this like Tai Chi; you can still give your all, while also being able to become free flowing and switch it up without necessarily being repetitive... Sure, this character is built to "zone", but can you work him/her to hold it down up close in a tight situation (i.e.- corner trap, etc)? Can you train your opponent to think a certain way, while pulling off something he wouldn't have expected because he expected something else based on the "training" you were doing??? How well can you adapt??? I'm pretty sure Daigo, Chibita, Dio, and a few other top JP players who play the same character can do casuals, but still come through in tournaments, because they adapt and overcome...
