competitive balance

Competitive balance is a concept used for good game making in multiplayer, player versus player games where different characters have different stats.

Basically, no single character type will be better than the other character types.

So if the character types are warrior, archer, and mage, a game that maintains competitive balance will have archers beat mages, mages beat warriors, and warriors beat archers for example.

Note that this is a generalized concept. An archer could theoretically beat a warrior in a fight in the above example, but generally, warriors will have the advantage over archers.

Also known as Elemental Rock Paper Scissors when elements are involved.
*Playing Super Smash Brothers Brawl*

Leg up on the competition

A relationship between two men when they realize they are Bucephalus and the Alexander made manifest. Living embodiment of a twin soul who realize that they are each other's shadow who cannot go forward in life, being at the end of their rope, having reached their limit, finding solace, fidelity, and mutual respect, admiration and cooperation. The homoerotic as harmonious accord to by-pass realized limitations to their psyche and self-perceptions, becoming better than they were. Iron sharpening iron
Needing a "Leg up on the competition," they decided to join forces, realizing then, in that moment that they had become stronger together, a force of nature- that which brings reckoning; inner transformation by merging with another being.

Leg refers to a male's penile member after the mind has been properly and compassionately linked, usually following an epiphany thru mutual reciprocity and respectful attitudes from two men who realize they are equals that makes the man feel at ease with himself and the universe , leading to arousal and ending in an erection and full mast: a leg up so to speak
