This is amazing. Japan's largest Instant Udon brand has a popular animated commercial series featuring a young man who meets a fox girl (Kitsune Udon means Fox Udon) whenever he eats it. But for some reason they did a collab with Baki and the fox girl is played by... Yuujiro.
Fighting Games are not popular because:
1) Incredibly unforgiving for New Players
2) They do a terrible job of teaching you how to play
3) Execution Barrier/Fast Reflexes required
4) Poor Single Player content
5) Huge skill gap between Casual and Pros
6) Greedy DLC practices
I try not to post about my private life but…
Today I became a father. Her name is Anna/杏奈. She’s healthy, cries a lot, and has a big head like me. I have no idea how to be a parent, but I’ll do my best to make sure she has a good life.
“King Of The Iron Fist Tournament” and this dude shows up with Knives, Katana, Laser Pistol, Grenades, Shield, Teleporter, X-Ray Glasses… get him OUTTA HERE!
“You have to duck the second hit.”
“You need to break those.”
“Where is the sidestep.”
“Why didn’t you launch that.”
I’M TRYING OK?? I’M DOING MY BEST 😭😭 I’M LIKE 40 AND I HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF A BABY AND DOG AND PAY TAXES AND THIS HWOARANG PLAYER KEEPS DOING STRINGS ON ME AND
Only Leffen can get sniped by a troll playing on the laggiest setup known to man, told to kill himself, and then HE gets called the bad guy.
That’s my GOAT.
Apparently Uma received an invite to Red Bull Kumite after winning Capcom Cup, but he is unsure about attending because it overlaps with Hololive 5th Festival (and his birthday).
"3 Sword Style Unemployed Man" is trending in Japan today after a 37 year old was arrested for brandishing 3 knives in public - one in each hand and one in his mouth.

netplay with the absolute WORST connections known to mankind. I’m talking 20+ year old laptops connected to stolen wi-fi downloading anime torrents and mining crypto in the background. You have been warned.
This (excellent) video did irreparable damage to the FGC.
Instead of watching it and thinking about the nuanced discussion presented, the FGC saw it and somehow walked away with, "No Nerf, Only Buff!". An absolute midwit take that's still being repeated to this day.

This tweet about a player hitting Celestial VIP got big on Japan Twitter and I wasn't sure why. Turns out the player is Koyasu Koki, the son of Koyasu Takehito - the voice actor of Zato.
"Thank you Zato! Thank you Father! Thank you ArcSys! I did itttt!"

Every FG Player:
“Out at 64th, lost to Naruto69! He deserved the win; but I did drop the game winning combo. The crowd was too noisy but he played really well. Nothing but respect for him; monitors were a bit laggy though. Amazing player; I think I’m sick though. He’s so good b
Jing entered 4 games at EVO: Melty Blood Type Lumina, Aquapazza, Dengeki Bunko, Arcana Blood.
He won all 4. In addition to prize money, he’s going back to Japan with a Golden Victrix Stick and 3 Snackbox Micros.
If you're one of the 37% that picked "blocking," congrats! You have no idea how fighting games work! Blocking is a myth. There will ALWAYS be an optimal button to press. Blocking exists for the first 5 days of a new game. After that, you're just doing bad mashing.
I have negative interest in the series, so I don’t care if they change it; but I hate the forced violence/gore in Mortal Kombat.
That’s it, that’s the tweet.
RAGNA WIPES HIMSELF AND ANY MEMORY OF HIM OUT OF EXISTENCE SO EVEN HIS FAMILY AND LOVED ONES FORGET HE EVER EXISTED IN ORDER TO CORRECT THE TIMELINE AND ENSURE HUMANITY AND BEASTKIN HAD A FUTURE. DON’T YOU EVER COMPARE HIM TO JIN KAZAMA FROM TEKKEN OR I SWEAR TO GOD I WILL MAKE Y
Finally got my Japanese License. The officer who gave the test was a demon; he made the other 2 girls cry and failed them mid-way. Luckily I’m used to getting yelled at by people online so I wasn’t phased.
Time for a road trip.
Capcom community having a public meltdown over Zangief doing Drive Rush > SPD.
Now imagine if Drive Rush was faster. And SPD refilled Drive Gauge. And looped into itself on Oki. And recovered his life. And was safe on whiff for half a bar. And could be combo'd after for 50%+. An
After 2+ years I finally cleared ARR in

. People told me to skip it, but I didn’t want to miss out on the story. Now that I’ve played it, I can safely safe:
You should skip ARR.
Tekken discussion is always so funny because it's dudes with 15+ years of legacy skill telling you the game is not hard. Speaking as a newer player, Tekken is IMO the hardest game to get "good" at because of the sheer amount of characters/moves/knowledge required. BUT..
Seeing the Capcom community fighting amongst themselves over SF4 vs SF5 is honestly kind of pathetic. You should learn to get along and love ALL the games in the series, just like the Guilty Gear community does.
I've been playing exclusively Modern in
#SF6
.
-Modern is strong enough to compete with, but the downsides are noticeable
-Some characters are better than others in Modern (they lose less key moves)
-Classic is better than Modern for every character at HIGH level

知らない天井だ。。
Don’t really talk about it, but I’ve had some medical problems these past few years. Came in for a checkup today, and the doctor told me I couldn’t go home and had to remain in the hospital for 2 weeks. Hope it’s not that serious... 🤞🏼
A huge Japanese celebrity who has been active for 50 years just passed away due to Coronavirus. I hope this will finally get the country to start taking this a bit more seriously...
RIP Shimura Ken
This will be a good fight.

Big story in Japan now involves a city that accidentally sent $463,000~ in COVID-19 support intended for 463 households to 1 person who immediately blew it all in an Online Casino.
How did such a large error occur? The city government still uses Floppy Disks for business… 💾
Hey rev 2 lab monsters. I don't want to be that guy but please don't clip yourself mixing up newcomers in the corner with the caption "welcome to xrd" or "no walls to save you this time". Saw some people doing it during bbcf rollback hype and it just rubbed me the wrong way
