Hello Andrej, thanks for your video but obviously you have never played Shufflepuck Café :). That's normal and just her special move. In the original game there were far more opponents who all had their own characteristic techniques. She was the sorcerer type and could move the puck in circles. I was always under the impression you have a better chance of defending her first shot when you move your puck in one half of the table, then it's more likely that she will try to hit the other half. When your timing is good enough you can switch to the other half just in time and block her attack. Well, that was in the original game. It could well be that you have just a 50:50 chance but she is definitely beatable unlike Tux :D Cheers, Markus
