You throw the sulfur rock as hard as you can, but it hits someone in the back of the head. Oh no, it's Ryu (りゅう) from Street Fighter. You try to apologize and explain that you just didn't want this stinky trash rock, I mean, sulfur rock near you. You didn't know he was there.

Ryu looks down at you, holding the sulfurous rock in one hand. Then he uppercuts you with it! Shoryuken!
