To combat this, I read a book while waiting for my opponent and put the controller on my lap and wait for it to vibrate. Then my opponent happens to be a 0 bar I have to kick, and that continues for the rest of the day. Read a page, vibrate, kick. Man, glad I have UNIEL now.
As far as the opening goes, I hope the song is hype. Blue Sanction was pretty good, but it wasn't Iconoclast good.
