The year is 2007. Everyone plays James Bond, the undisputed best character in the game. His Neutral-B, "gun", is a projectile that comes out on frame 1, and instantly kills whoever it touches. Because of this, the winner of a match depends solely on who clicks the B button fastest after the match starts.
