you don't really have to last through all of the mix-up unless you're pro tourney status =p i mean people seem to think kune's curse is unlimited and the moment you get hit you're eating 8-12k. the longer you block/run away the less curse he's gonna have, the less damage he's able to do. especially now that he's been nerfed. If you're able to block properly you're only going to get a max of 5k damage, that's just like messing up against any other opponent and getting BnB'd, only it took kune half the match to get to that point and now he has to restart with his crappy precurse.
in the eternal words of firekid2 on fighting games: "it's your fault for getting hit" o3o

edit: ninja'd like 3 times there o3o but it's nice to contribute.
