If Johnny uses disconnected elements to get that big effect from time to time, he plays well with Timmy. If he uses them to be ultra-efficient and mow down enemies time after time, he plays well with Spike.I don't think Timmy and Spike play well together, and this is about character optimization rather than psychographics to some extent. If Timmy is going for the occasional "holy cow!" effect but often accomplishes nothing while Spike is going for efficient consistency in every round, they're probably not going to like each other's play styles. Timmy will find Spike boring; Spike will find Timmy frustrating.It's not to say they couldn't be an EFFECTIVE combination (sometimes a little "holy cow" is exactly what Spike needs), but I don't think the players would enjoy sitting down together. Timmy would like it if other Timmies were doing the occasional amazing thing and they all missed with their attacks about as often as one another. Spike would like it if other Spikes combined to be an unstoppable monster-demolishing force.I think both Timmy and Spike would be likely to look at the other and think, "You're doing it wrong."</blockquote>
