"Story of our lives," Taichi says to Barry, with a melodramatically long-suffering tone. "On the macro scale of all our competitions, we're running equal. Yamato's ahead of me in swimming races, chess and Go, and cooking; but I'm ahead on soccer shoot-outs, card games, and foot races. We keep running equal in endurance contests, dancing, and dice games. We'll be dead before we break the stalemate."

Yamato rolls his eyes at Taichi, nudging a hand against Cisco's shoulder. "We can. I think you'll win out over all of us on racing games, though, kid," he says easily.

"I guess racing games work for me, too. Can't promise I'll put in that good a performance," Taichi says.
