Okay I do admit a slip up there when I should have said that only a small number of fans don't like it but I don't agree with some of your points. Kiri clearly had emotional problems before he met Gao ie: being quiet heartlessly forgotten but his old friend long before he met Gao. Gao had no control over him turning so called evil, his mental and emotional barriers were already weak and all he needed was Davide's toxic influance to send him over. That had nothing to do with Gao at all, I never understood why people thought there was a connection there. Second forgetting to write a letter to his mom to me hardly consitutes as a great life changing mistake, he just forgot and the way they went completely off the handle was rediculous. Gao didn't accidently kill a small family or put his sister in a coma, he just forgot to write his mother. A harmless mistake that he can easily fix at anytime.

Yes I am a writer and as one at my age I understand the importance of balance within the conflicts, having your favorite character win is satifying. I would be lying if I didn't enjoying winning but I'm sure Maddog you've played fights you didn't winor stuggled to win. What if Gao didn't draw the cards he needed just as he needed them? Having him draw what he needs all the time slowly eats away at the foundation of tension and suspense that keeps the battle intense and engaging.
