    No sé a qué se debe pero a mí no me gustó perseus, a la salida huele a enjuague bucal y al secar huele a jarabe para la tos muy amargo

    Translation: I don't know why, but I didn't like Perseus: the opening smells like mouthwash and the drydown like a very bitter cough syrup.

  3. YouTube comment@zvikaso90% match, read from the wording

    MA's Pegasus clone is spot on, because Pegasus is a very simple frag (unlike Herod) and thus is easy to perfectly clone.
