Looks like D-Young never took Titus' fashion advice.

Does anyone know what this photo was for?

Also, Gabriel has the look of "There's always one..." looking at D-Young.

Oh God he finally got added, Mugen Punk is a really good one but I don't know how he'd hold up in the crazy world of Saltybet.

I saw him once and he pretty much straight up destroyed Black Adam with strong rushdown, but then again this isn't Injustice, so Adam isn't overpowered in this.

I can't see him standing up to Dark-Donald/Rare Akuma/Omega Tom Hanks though.

I think it was actually a picture of Muta, Chono, and two other dudes with the "This is Puro" macro in Japanese, I believe. That was pretty cool.

edit: Found it

It was for King of Colosseum II. The wrestlers are Mutoh, Misawa, Hashimoto, and Chono. I believe they were there to represent four of the main factions in the game (All Japan, Noah, Freelance, and New Japan).

Eurovision is pretty much a tournament where random acts from European countries and non European countries sing mostly terrible songs. The quality of which is made irrelevant because all the neighbouring countries vote for each other. It's fun to watch people get so wrapped up in it though. It's also fun to play "Guess which very attractive lady singer is actually a man".

In short, watch the Father Ted episode "A Song For Europe". It's funnier and will probably explain far less that you'd think, but it's Father Ted, so watch it anyway.

Now can we get back to talking about Okada and Gedo playing Pop-up Pirate?

There was more to the AJPW and Virtua Fighter cross over than that game.


Things kinda went full circle in VF5 when they gave Wolf the Turbo Drop III, which was the finisher of Jim Steele, the guy who played Wolf in AJPW. It was also a really good move in game because it could lead to some very big damage wall combos. Then they took it out from Final Showdown and replaced it with Goto's finisher instead.

Also, as nerdy as it is, in terms of representation of wrestling moves in fighting games, VF is probably the most realistic. There's a hell of a lot of little touches to the moves that games like Tekken and Dead or Alive just don't do.

Jeffry is also basically karate man "Bear Killer" Willie Williams who wrestled in the UWF and RINGS.

He's also a more accurate representation of a Pancratium practitioner than the one in Tekken, although Yoshimitsu's motion capture however was done by PSP favourite Minoru Suzuki.

3, 4, Tag, and 5. I'm not sure of any other famous mocap artists that have worked on it.

LvK posted:




This is true in general. One of my friends is a hardcore bajiquan practitioner and he's consistently impressed with how VF actually uses (highly-abstracted) real-life applications of the art.

People may call the game boring or hard, neither of which is true because it's the most balanced big name fighter around, but it's pleasing to watch the moves. When you compare the way Marduk's Jackhammer is done to Wolf's, you spot a ton of differences which makes Wolf's version look so much better.

I know. I play him (or I used to since he's now been taken out in favour of Gigas in 7). Wolf is still a better character though.

I might have been wrong. Looking it up, this is true, however it seems only two people did the motion capture for Tekken 3, and the other was another lesser-known wrestler, so Suzuki could have done Yoshimitsu's mocap too.

I met Christopher Daniels at the San Diego Comic-Con about 5 years ago. He was a nice man.

I now partly feel guilty about saying I hoped TNA would re-sign him because TNA, but 2012 did give us Bad Influence, Claire Lynch, and a lot of really solid AJ vs Daniels matches with Kaz and Angle thrown in at times, so there was some good out of it. Also he had the greatest weapon of all time.

Wasn't Baba such an honest promoter people would just flat work for him without a contract because they trusted him to pay them what they were worth?

I think there was a story about the British wrestler Johnny Smith who would not negotiate and just let Baba pay him what he thought he was worth. He also apparently was given a jacket made by a fan which spelled his name "Jhonny". The fan was so nice that he kept the jacket and wore it because he didn't want to tell the fan he'd made a mistake and hurt his feelings.

I personally like how Kiryu does everything sternly faced, be it beating people up, karaoke, dealing with his superiors, disco dancing, car chase shootouts, arcade games, etc.

Also, him agreeing to get a kid something from a vending machine because his mother wouldn't because unbeknownst to both he and the kid it was a porno mag was great too.
