I randomly thought of "wooo weee wababababababa!" today and kind of started chuckling to myself a little. Someone asked me what I was laughing at and I said it was something from a podcast I listened to earlier. Although, the dude who asked is one of the weirdest people I've ever met, so I probably could've just started making the noises and he would've nodded sagely and agreed with me.

I was trying to work out who the 90s AJPW gaijin was with red face paint like that.

He's not just a Virtua Fighter character, AJPW had an actual gaijin wrestler portray Wolf Hawkfield for like 3 years

They also had a guy be Jeffry Mcwild but i think he only appeared on one or two shows, Jim Steele was Wolf Hawkfield for far longer than you'd expect

Ibexaz posted:Checked out a little footage of 2000 and yeah this game looks baller. Love those chunky virtua fighter impact sounds The hidden characters had some interesting movesets that weren't absolutely taken from NJPW guys at the time. Also, Tigre had the coolest finisher in the game and had a tag finisher with Hyper (yellow-brown cyborg thing) which was literally Muscle Docking from Kinnikuman. forkboy84 posted:Was just coming to say this: he's literally on the poster. That was Jim Steele who for a period had the Wolf Hawkfield name. To make it even more confusing, Giant Gram (the game that poster is from) has both AJPW Wolf and VF Wolf in the game as different characters. Also, in a kind of full circle thing, in VF5 and and 5R, Wolf had Steele's finisher as one of his throws, and it was VERY good when facing walls. It got replaced with Goto's Shoten Kai in Final Showdown though which wasn't as good. E: Was beaten by several people on the Jim Steele thing but oh well.

That does an amazing job conveying absolutely none of the brutality & violence of All Japan Women. Terrific. Just majestic. Also everytime i saw someone do a dropkick it's the person doing it who ended up on the ground so that's a design choice. Fascinating creation though

Does anyone have a link to the Gary Albright "that escalated quickly" promo? You know the one. It used to be on Vimeo or Dailymotion and seems to have disappeared.
