Consider these two part of my bucket list. (No pictures for these)
For those who don’t know, the Sprite Royal Rumble is something I do from time to time. It's basically WWE’s Royal Rumble only, it's mostly full of OCs and the winner is chosen randomly. And for my 20th Anniversary I got dream entrants with Bob and George entering the event. And as you see, I am currently working on a Theme SRR with Sonic Inspired Characters. So what could my dream SRR be?
Simply put, having the entire group being wrestlers. Current, former, fictional, the Sprite Royal Rumble of my dreams that only people who are good with Create a Wrestler and have the latest WWE game can do on a whim. Since I would need all these to have sprites, I can only dream. So if I had no limitation, who would I bring in? Part 1 is for the men and part 2 will be for the ladies. So who will be in my Dream Sprite Royal Rumble...
Former Rumble Winners
Starting off with Some actual Royal Rumble winners: John Cena, Hulk Hogan, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Cody Rhodes, Rey Mysterio, Brock Lesnar, Shawn Micheals, Bret Hart, the Rock and Roman Reigns. That’s 10 spots off the bat and I don’t want to fill it up with just winners.
Fictional Wrestlers
I’m sticking with 5 fictional wrestlers as the absolute limit. I do want to stick with mostly real wrestlers. First off, Zangief from Street Fighter because of course. When you think of fictional wrestlers, I bet most would think of him first. Then King from Tekken because he would probably be the second person most would think of if not the first. Now for some not so obvious picks.
Wolf from Virtua Fighter is one I have a strong attachment to. I (technically) beat my first arcade game with him. Long story but in short he’s a big reason I’m a fan of Virtua Fighter. Starman from Nintendo’s Pro Wrestling because I always had a strong attachment to him since playing that game as a kid. And the final Fictional Wrestler will be someone not from a video game...
Mantaro Kinniku, or for us Dub Listeners, Kid Muscle from the Kinnikuman. He comes from the anime Kinnikuman Nisei or as it is called here: Ultimate Muscle. Wanted to bring the Manga series that many people around the world enjoy and showcased their love for wrestling in every page. And if you need a fictional wrestler, you gotta have a Kinnikuman.
Personal Picks
15 have been selected, now for some personal picks. The Miz because he’s Awesome. MJF because he’s better than me and I know it. Kane because, despite his current political position, he was my favorite competitor in the Royal Rumble event. Bad News Brown because I just like him. And Owen Hart, who I wish could be around today but sadly passed away. May he find peace and the Hart Family reunite regardless where they are.
Spots Picks
Now with 10 spots remaining, let’s pick wrestlers who would make an interesting story within the event. Tiger Mask, the actual professional wrestler, meeting King is just too perfect to not pass up. Curry Man because every Royal Rumble could use one joke entry. Bill Goldberg because between his fictional feud with Brock Lesnar to his real life feud with Bret Hart, not to mention actually having Stonecold face Goldberg.
Speaking of facing Bret Hart, CM Punk, Kurt Angle and Bryan Danielson. Some of the best modern wrestlers meeting the Best there is, was and every will be. Darby Allin because we could use a spot monkey and this guy is nuts. Keith Lee I feel would be a nice mix of powerhouse who can move and would be neat to see him against others in this match. He did an impressive showing against Lesnar after all.
Antonio Inoki, founder of NJPW, definitely would be a great addition to the real Royal Rumble back during his prime. So to have him go against some of the best then and now would be a treat to see. And finally, Taz has some ECW representation as well as a spot in the movie where he suplexes almost everyone in there.
And these are my picks. Hopefully a good mix of people I know Vs what people would want to see an event like this. The full list is below and next time, which will be after the story, I’ll do this with the women.
Antonio Inoki
Bad News Brown
Bill Goldberg
Bret “the Hitman” Hart

Here’s my note before I’ll get started….
New rule changes down below! ⬇️
(DON’T YOU EVER COPY FROM MINE OR MY FRIEND’S WORK, CHARACTERS, AND STUFF IF ONE OF YOU ARE IMPOSTERS WHO HAD HABITS OF PLAGIARISM! I WILL BLOCK YOU FROM MY BLOG IF I SEE YOUR POST WITH MINE OR MY FRIEND’S ORIGINAL WORK BEING EDITED ALL OVER! I’LL EVEN SHARE IT ONTO MY BLOG SO IF EVERYONE WILL SEE THAT YOU TRYING TO COPY MINE OR MY FRIEND’S THINGS FOR NO GOOD REASON WHATSOEVER! That will be all….I mean it.)
Hello to all as we're almost going through 🍁Autumn 2021 soon. So it's bye bye to summer sunny days and ahead to breezy cold winds when the leaves falls into piles. Honesty, it was disappointed since we're still in the pandemic for so long that me and my family haven't got into vacation plans like if we would've to. Sadly no, but at least knowing that we're still alive while staying our house and doing some good work as I did alright during my own summer activities; like doing reviews with my YCCTEAM Controller, checking Tekken's Kazuya Mishima in Super Smash Bros Ultimate, and some DeviantArt and Tumblr art posts to name of few. For that, it was at least good for my liking. 😉👍🏼
Anyways, I'm bring to you my latest Tumblr Exclusive to share something for my P-Pal again. This time, my main OCs is happy to know that today's Riya Speedster 8th birthday celebration! She was born back in 🍁📚🍎September 20th, 2013 when my P-Pal created her as a twin sister to Spot Speedster and to their parents Bonn and Rita Speedster. Link Here
Though originally that I'm supposed to save it until Riya Speedster's 10th Anniversary; which is gonna be in the year of 2023 if I would've think it harder next time to plan. My apologies and to my P-Pal by doing this, but nevertheless it came out nicely while celebrate Riya's birthday with my mains around. 🙂👍🏼
🐰👊💥May: This time however, we wanted to show from us while wearing our Riya Speedster's clothes for the first time. Three of them each actually.
🦊⚽️Sam: Yeah. We actually having our Riya's clothes to owned today and we wanted to use it to honor our friend's 8th birthday a chance. Though we would've wait until her 10th birthday comes in 2023, but can't help it that we're celebrate too early sometimes. We're sorry, Riya. 😅 At least knowing your twin brother's 10th anniversary will be coming during last week of September. Hoping it was the right time to get there while wearing our Spot's clothes soon. For now, Happy 8th Birthday to you! 🎂
🐰🖌Maxwell: Indeed, but while wearing our own Riya's clothes includes me was a not bad to get used to it. 👍🏼 Happy Birthday, Riya. Next time, we promised now we can celebrate for real while you're having a 10th Anniversary celebration soon. Again, we're sorry if our A-Pal came up too early today.
Well it's something that I'm needed to think hard next time. 🤔

🎮 Where’s My Controller?
Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve poured almost 15 hours into Yakuza 0. I fully intended on playing through all the games up until Yakuza 7: Like a Dragon.
🎵 Turn it up to 11!
Since I’ve been playing Yakuza 0 for the past couple of weeks, I’ve listened to in-game music. Let me tell you. This game has such a banging soundtrack. It’s in-game fight game music to its karaoke selection. You must hear “Heartbreak Mermaid”, easily one of the best songs in the line-up. The others are fantastic too, and I’ll probably show you the others next week, but for now, go listen to “Heartbreak Mermaid”. Drenched in thick 80s synthesizers with an addictive chord progression, paired with hard-hitting brass hits and an uplifting and fantastic chorus, it makes me feel some sense of joy (especially since I’ve been depressed at work). Please go and listen to it. (YouTube Link)

20 Years of PS2: Flashback Special
October 26th this year marked the 20th anniversary of the North American launch of the PlayStation 2 (PS2) and I am ready to commemorate it with another flashback special recounting my highlighted highs and lows with the system since its launch. Like with my previous console retrospectives I have un-vaulted a few of my older podcast episodes focused on the PS2 and uploaded them to YouTube that you can check out embedded at the bottom of this piece for your listening pleasure. One of those episodes was recorded around the then-10th anniversary of the PS2 in 2010 where we brought on two hosts from the PSnation podcast and we waxed nostalgic for three hours about our favorite PS2 games and memories. The episode proved to be our most downloaded ever to the point we had to purchase more web server space to handle the downloads. Now I think the best way to start off this special on the PS2 would be to remember that leading up to its October 26th, 2000 launch, that it was impossible to ignore….. ….The Hype The PS2 was the first Sony console I purchased. I never owned a PSone because our family opted with the N64 (of which I have no regrets and many great memories of), and by the time I got my first job a decent way into 1999 where I could afford a system with my own income, it was either heavily speculated at that point or confirmed the PS2 would be backwards compatible with PSone games. This was a big deal learning of this in 1999. Up until that point in America, backwards compatibility only hit consoles (excluding handhelds) in small waves with the limited Master System library working on the Genesis with an adaptor, and the under-performing Atari 7800 having back-compat built inside the hardware so it could play 2600 games. So for having the mega-successful PSone library being guaranteed to work on the PS2 on launch day sold me on saving my money on a PSone system and waiting for the PS2.
The other big selling point for the PS2 was that it would be the first game console in America to support DVD movies. DVD players first started hitting in America in 1997, but it was a very slow growth process for them because they remained at a high price point their first few years on the market, and VHS tapes were exponentially cheaper. For you younger kids growing up with streaming tech, I feel obligated to say how big a deal was that PS2 was able to play DVDs. When I first saw what DVDs could do in 1999 at a friend’s place I was blown away with no longer having to rewind tapes, being able to pick certain scenes to jump to, interactive menus, extra bonus features and the big jump in picture quality. This is also why Dominic Toretto and his motley crew were hijacking semis in the first Fast & Furious film in 2001 for their precious DVD player cargo. With the PS2 being able to play PSone games, having guaranteed third party support from most of the PSone game publishers, being able to play audio CDs (which were still a major seller in 2000) and DVDs all for the launch price of $299 made the system garner mammoth hype leading up to the October 26, 2000 launch. The Launch After instantly getting sold on DVDs at my friend’s place in 1999, I started to collect some of my favorite movies on DVD leading up to the PS2’s launch and by launch day I believe I had roughly a dozen movies already with some of my then-recent favorite films at the time like Fight Club, Go and Detroit Rock City being early DVD favorites. The console was the first game product I remember our local Software Etc. offering to pre-order, and I was able to pre-order early enough to confirm a system for me at launch, which was a relief after hearing how Sony announced shortly before the launch they would be reducing the amount of systems available at launch by half from one million to 500,000. I pestered a co-worker at the time, Troy, a couple months before launch if he would be able give me a ride to the store that day to pick it up since the store was opening early before school started and he gave me his word. I thought it was not going to happen when he quit where I worked a few weeks before the launch, but somehow I was able to figure out where his next job was at and called him up at his other job a couple days before the PS2 launch to see if he would still honor his word and he assured me so. I showed Troy many thanks by covering breakfast for him that morning!
22 games launched with the PS2, and despite the variety, there was never a ‘killer app’ on the PS2’s launch. Despite Sony being a powerhouse of a first party publisher on the PSone, they only had one game available for the PS2 at launch with the puzzle game, Fantavision. I have always felt the PS2 launch got an unfair look over the years, as indicated in this AV Club piece. While there was never one end-all-be-all game, there were still plenty of solid ‘fans of the genre’ titles in my opinion. Racing game fans were covered with Ridge Racer V, the original Midnight Club and MotoGP. Over the years I became a fan of the three launch PS2 tag-focused fighting games Street Fighter EX3, Dead or Alive 2: Hardcore and especially putting a ton of time into the first Tekken Tag Tournament. FPS fans had a solid port of Unreal Tournament, and the heavily anticipated TimeSplitters with the gaming press at the time hyping it up to be the GoldenEye-killer since a fair amount of the development team worked on that hit FPS title. EA Sports had their latest NHL and Madden entries at launch, and the first game under their “EA Sports BIG” label with the original SSX. I think it is forgotten at that time the gaming mags and early online gaming press outlets heralding SSX as the surprise best original game out of the PS2 launch. For myself all I wanted was TimeSplitters and Madden NFL 2001. I knew my friend and former podcast co-host, Chris would be picking up TimeSplitters, so I stuck with Madden and a memory card for my pre-orders. Troy and I got there an hour before the store opened, and only one other person was ahead of us in line, so we were in and out of there in a breeze….only after the store manager jipped me out of a memory card I pre-ordered because there was a shortage on those too, but apparently the manager got first priority on the several she pre-ordered and offered to sell me one outside the store. I asked if it would be for MSRP, and she just gave me a knowing grin, and I was not having any of that and said no thanks and was fine waiting for their call when their next shipment of memory cards arrived (which was only about a week later, and for Madden it was not that much to get worked up over).
Those first few months of the PS2 launch from late 2000 into early 2001 were a memorable time during my senior year of high school. I played a plethora of Madden NFL 2001 against my neighbor friend Rich, and my brother-in-law, Shawn. I watched the hell out of those first dozen DVDs and threw in a few random PSone games I picked up too. Chris picked up several PS2 games at launch and for about two weekends a month I met up with him and the two primary games we played were TimeSplitters and Tekken Tag. The original TimeSplitters blew us away with its customization options for FPS multiplayer with being able to play against a huge variety of bots and in-depth level creation editors. We would create a map where we started in a room with all the ammo and weapon pickups, and a sea of mindless bots would march down a lengthy hallway to enter a room where we would be anticipating their entrance so they could rush into a hasty demise. I totally devoured Tekken Tag with Chris and got into its roster of characters and tag-style fighting, and especially its five star bowling mini-game, Tekken Bowl. Chris’s family had access to purchase bulk boxes of those rectangular bricks of school cafeteria pizza, and I have nostalgic memories putting away that delicious pizza while consuming the PS2 launch window games. Early-through-Summer 2001: My First Apartment Three Blocks Away From a Blockbuster Video As the months wore on after the launch window, the only early 2001 game I really enjoyed was the PS2 port of Quake III, even with its ridiculous loading times! For not having a powerhouse PC at that time, it was a fun alternative to experience the deathmatch chaos that was dominating the PC scene at the time. In the spring I got Onimusha: Warlords, and while I was digging the samurai/zombie action, the Capcom tank controls eventually got the best of me and I had to step away from it after a few hours. It was not until well into the summer of 2001 that I started experimenting more with the PS2 library when I got my first apartment with my friend Matt. We lived a few blocks away from a Blockbuster Video and so we made frequent trips there on weekends chancing random games that popped out to us. We did not have a computer at our place, and the high-speed Internet era was about another year or two from catching on, so that was one of the last years you could really just chance a game by going by the box and from whatever was available in print at the time.
Capcom debuted two classic single player franchises in the first year of the PS2 in the forms of Devil May Cry (left) and Onimusha: Warlords (right) We rented plenty of stuff throughout the remainder of 2001. Some titles like the quirky action/adventure game, Okage, was decent, but nothing remarkable. Others we ate up like Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance, where it perfectly encapsulated the addicting hack ‘n slash, action-RPG loot-fest gameplay of the acclaimed PC Diablo series on console. We took turns passing the controller progressing away at the stylistic action title Devil May Cry, which blew us away back then. Speaking of stylistic Capcom titles, we re-busted out Onimusha and I witnessed Matt get past my hang-ups and go on to blitz through it. It recently got remastered on PS4/Xbox One and worth checking out if you have yet not. Summoner was a so-so fantasy themed action game, but we were looking at the options screen for that game and for whatever reason we decided to check out the credits from the options. After a minute of that we realized this was a waste of time and pressed the X button to proceed on out of there, and instead were bamboozled at the following bonus cinematic it unlocked. We must have watched it at least four or five times throughout the day, because we got more out of that sketch than Summoner itself. It was a radio skit that was CG animated for this game and kind of went on to have some notoriety in gaming circles, but if you are unaware than I will encourage you to click or press here to experience it for yourself. Holiday 2001: A Flurry of All-Time Classics Arrive
The fall of 2001 was a big quarter for PS2. Several classic exclusives hit that holiday season for it. Metal Gear Solid 2 was the first entry in the series I played. Matt and I rented it, but its stealth-focused gameplay was too much for us at the time and both us kept messing up sneaking through the speech scene near the end of the opening boat mission. It would be over a decade before I revisited it and finally played through it in its entirety off the PS3 HD collection of the PS2 and PSP games. I loved both Sons of Liberty and Snake Eater, but I would have to give the nudge in favor to Snake Eater with its superb origin story, nonstop 007-homages, an extraordinary ladder climb like no other, one of the best theme songs in videogame history and one of the best final boss battles in videogame history too. The first of many yearly WWF/WWE games hit in fall of 2001 with WWF Smackdown: Just Bring It. We had the multi-tap, and for that game it greatly benefitted because it became a hit with our neighbor friends where we would play a seemingly infinite amount of Royal Rumbles and Survival elimination matches. I threw it in again a few days ago to prep up for this and to relive the dozen zany created wrestlers that still lived on in my save file. The graphics have come a long way I can say for sure! Twisted Metal: Black was a big deal for Matt and I at the time. The gritty, M-rated cutscenes for each character’s opening, middle and ending cinemas that were unlocked from their story mode completions inspired Matt and I to play through the story mode in co-op with every single character. Thankfully the game saved the cinemas unlocked, because Matt and I were so impressed by how they stood out at the time that we forced them upon several friends that stopped by over the coming weeks. Gameplay-wise, it was a well-refined, straightforward Twisted Metal car combat game, but its M-rated makeover from the T-rated PSone entries struck a chord with us.
Speaking of M-rated games that were huge for us that year, that was when Grand Theft Auto III released and changed the gaming landscape as we know it. I was vaguely familiar with the first two games, but with the third one having 3D gameplay and a more expansive open world, it seemed like it would be a surefire hit, and boy was it ever. I loved SimCopter on PC (an early 3D open world game), and the gaming mag previews gave me the impression that it would be SimCopter, but with guns and violence, and it delivered on that front in spades. I dug its primary narrative for it too, but I think it is safe to say that I was like nearly everyone else and eventually wound up having more fun getting lost and immersed in Liberty City’s world and eventually causing so much mayhem just to see how long I could hold up against a five star wanted rating. 2002: Highs and Lows The early months of 2002 I recall was when I kept going back to those same fall 2001 games I just broke down, but later came around on going all in on those aforementioned PS2 fighting games. I picked up a copy of Tekken Tag for myself around this time and invested a lot of time into it. I took a chance on Street Fighter EX3 and after getting over the initial awkwardness of a 3D-based Street Fighter game I got crazy into EX3 with its devastating meteor attacks, optional tag team fighting and its colorful cast of characters such as the affable Skull-o-Mania! This was right when Guilty Gear X released too and I absolutely ate up that title with it upping the WTF quotient like no other fighter before it. Its unique roster performed all kinds of bizarre attacks, and learning its intricate control systems with complex mechanics like instant kill maneuvers and ‘roman cancels’ had me studying its manual for days!
In late spring of 2002 I moved out of my first apartment so my renting marathons with Matt were over, but shortly-thereafter I landed my first sort-of major gaming press gig. I was independently submitting reviews to GameFAQs for a few years at this point, and the management at the website Game 2 Extreme (G2X) contacted me to coming on board and said while they would not pay me, they would offer me free review copies of games. As a freshly turned 19 year-old, I looked at this as an opportunity to bigger and better things and jumped on it. I will never forget the very first review copy I received for the so-so monster truck driving game, Monster Jam: Maximum Destruction. I spent the rest of the decade jumping to different websites to write for every couple years and lost track of all the titles I got to review. I can attest for the PS2 there was a wide range in quality of titles I received to review. For some of the higher performing games like SOCOM III, Hitman 2 and Star Wars: Battlefront I was able to review, there were bottom of the barrel licensed titles like Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly and Hard Rock Casino to balance things out. Also around this time of mid-2002 my PS2 became my first console to brick on me. Worst of all, it was a gradual, painful death. First, it stopped reading blue-disc games on CD-ROMs, and then it started getting sketchy performance out of certain silver-disc games on DVD-ROMs. My brother at this time had his own PS2 that he won in a local grocery store contest a few months earlier. The PS2 network adaptor coincidentally came out in mid-2002 as well and he was freaking addicted to playing the original SOCOM online all the time. I did not want to shell out $300 for another system so I believe after testing that SOCOM still worked fine on my degrading PS2 I offered to trade my breaking-down PS2, for his newer model for $100 and the condition that if my system I was trading to him would stop playing SOCOM that I would go back on the trade. Thank goodness that never came to be, and as an impressionable 19-year-old at the time I became kind of bitter to the PS2 for a few years with it being the first system I purchased to break down on me. A few years later though after having a couple 360s and my PS3 also all brick on me, I later came to accept that sometimes these systems go bad, especially when getting the first wave of systems rushed through manufacturing in time for launch. For the last two game console generations I have since waited a couple years after each system launch to purchase it in hopes of the console’s manufacturing process being less prone to producing faulty hardware. Sports-ball Love There was a ton of sports games on PS2 and I was lucky to review a lot of them. The football titles in particular I had to plead with editors not to trim down on 3000+ word counts because I exclaimed how the readers wanted to know each and every little detail of what was improved and added in the latest game. I had fun reviewing some of Midway’s arcade sports offerings that generation with NFL Blitz 20-02 and MLB Slugfest: Loaded. Another quirky arcade baseball game was 2K endorsing Konami to release MLB Power Pros in North America. It was a cartoony, cel-shaded baseball game that saw adorable pint-sized versions of MLB players duking it out, but fleshed out with in-depth single player modes. On the PSone I was happy to see Arena Football finally receive its own videogame, and on the PS2, EA acquired the license and released two AFL games that were faithful renditions of the sport, especially the second game that added both AFL divisions. They were sadly the last games released to get the AFL branding as the long running indoor football league finally folded operations last year after a 30-year run.
Two under-the-radar sports series I recommend tracking down on the PS2 are the Power Pros and Arena Football games. I played almost all of the 2K games on Xbox, but as I mentioned above I played a lot of Madden and NCAA Football on PS2 because the PS2 versions had exclusive online support for a couple years, and additionally because of my rivalry with my brother-in-law, Shawn. This generation saw both of EA’s football games explode in popularity and it was no longer apparent the NCAA game was the NFL title slapped with college teams and rules over it. Shawn and I played a lot of Madden at first, but eventually shifted over to the NCAA games more, with the 2003 and 2004 editions we especially played to death. I liked the variety of teams and unique playbooks, and found myself picking Navy a lot because of their unorthodox playbook that focused on fullback running plays. Shawn only played the football games to the point where I could hardly compete with him. One priceless memory of mine was having an awful game full of turnovers and pick-6s, and I swear to god I am not embellishing this: we were playing five minute quarters and it got to the point I wanted a moral victory to avoid a shutout and make one score, and somehow luck struck on one play where I connected on a deep throw in the final minutes of the game and proceeded infuriate my brother-in-law as I celebrated as if I won the game. I understood his frustrations because I will forever remember the final score of that game: 100-6. A Terrific Twilight The PS2 sold so well into the 360/PS3/Wii generation that its cross-gen viability lead to a regular slate of games releasing through 2009-ish, and a handful of sports titles sneaking out after that with the final PS2 game, Pro Evolution Soccer 2013, being released in North America in 2012. If you were keeping up with release schedules, you will notice that two types of games dominated the PS2 in its cross-gen years. One were ports of PSP games from Sony, with titles like Motorstorm: Arctic Edge and the pair of Syphon Filter games getting ported up to the PS2. The Wii was technologically not that far advanced from the PS2, so a lot of cash-cow licensed games on Wii also got ported to PS2 with titles like X-Men Origins: Wolverine and Ghostbusters being completely different playing games by other developers when compared to the bigger budget versions on the 360 and PS3. Some PS2 exclusives also snuck out in this timeframe like the first two Katamari titles and the first two Guitar Hero games. I was a big fan of both games and invested serious time into both series. There are many fond holiday 2005 moments of passing the guitar around to family members trying to best each other’s high scores.
I recall being stoked that the PS2 became the first home console in North America to get an official FirePro Wrestling game with 2007’s FirePro Wrestling Returns. I remember speaking to some of the people working for its publisher, Agetec, at E3 and how excited they were that they finally got Sony to loosen up on its restrictions of releasing 2D games on the system now that the PS2 was in its waning years. Another hit stealth PS2 release from this time was Silent Hill: Shattered Memories that hit America in early 2010. I had a friend visiting from out of town that was huge into the series, but was unaware of this PS2 entry and so we stayed up all night deep diving into that unique take on the series. The first two Yakuza games hit late in the PS2’s lifecycle and I was especially eager to play them because they were being hyped as spiritual successor’s to the Shenmue games that I ranked so high. I played a good ways into the first Yakuza, but recall getting stuck at a funeral escape stage in that game, and unfortunately never got back to it. Yakuza 3 on PS3 is the only title in the series I finished, and now with the Kiwami remakes of the first two games I need to one day just dedicate a year to only playing the many Yakuza games that have since released. MISC Memories -I never got too invested into the online PS2 scene. Usually that was because my brother was always using the PS2 to play SOCOM online a lot. I would use it from time to time to test out online play for games I was reviewing, with Star Wars: Battlefront and SOCOM 3’s online play standing out the most of what I reviewed. I do recall taking up Sony on its mail-in offer for a free copy of Twisted Metal: Black – Online with purchase of the PS2 network adaptor and having fun online in that for a couple weeks. My brother got the PS2 version of Final Fantasy XI, and I briefly dabbled in that for a couple hours, and it was interesting at that time playing an MMO on a console with a controller. The original Xbox had a significantly better online interface with Xbox Live, so that became my preferred console online play option. Only exception to this was for the 2003/2004 installments of Madden and NCAA Football because EA Sports held off on implementing online play for their Xbox games for a couple years, and that was key for me opting in on their PS2 versions when both of those football titles were surging in popularity and lead to the most consistent online play I did with PS2.
-There were so many PS2 games being released in its heyday from 2001-2006 that I would take random payday visits to Best Buy when they had gargantuan videogame aisles in hopes of discovering games I never heard of from smaller label publishers. This worked out both ways in learning of little known ‘hidden gems’ of that era, and eventually finding utter trash. -One odd peripheral I received for review was the PS2 ‘Clash Pads.’ It was a pair of controllers that were connected together with a little accessory box that had switches to give your gaming partner/opponent advantages and disadvantages for gameplay. The controller was a mess to operate, and the added perks and penalties it implemented were mind-boggling. I will instead recommend Namco’s light gun for the Time Crisis games….but only if you still have a standard-def TV. -Popular in the retro gaming scene lately is HDMI cables for retro game consoles to up-convert a system’s signal to HD and provide a much improved looking display than the muddy, watered down graphics that would result when plugging in composite cables into an HDTV. I picked up the HDMI PS2 cables from Pound last year, and they worked nicely on my slim PS2. I understand there are more expensive alternatives out there that yield noticeably better results, but for $30, the Pound cables provided enough of a bump up in quality for me.
-I busted out several games over the past week to prep up for this flashback special. I was finally able to play my copy of the BMX title, Downhill Domination and regretted not trying it out sooner. I had a blast revisiting a couple old favorites in Rumble Racing and Motorstrom: Arctic Edge. Wish I could have tried out more games, but the PS2 was giving me ‘read disc errors’ with half of my attempts and I could not determine if it was the HD cables causing this or if it was the PS2 itself simply aging out. -I touched on a couple wrestling games on the PS2 already, but as a whole I would give the slate of wrestling games for the PS2 in America a hearty thumbs up. I believe I played the entirety and unlocked everything from all the first-run SmackDown games on PS2. When firing up Just Bring It again, I cracked a smile because I completely forgot Fred Durst was a playable character, complete with “Rollin’” for his entrance theme. FirePro Wrestling Returns was a long anticipated console debut for the franchise in America. Multi-platform games I played on other systems like the car-combat spinoff, WWE Crush Hour and the pair of Backyard Wrestling games were fun alternative wrestling games to take a break from the annual core WWE game. Yes, there was a car combat WWE game, and it is surprisingly halfway-decent. I picked up the PS2 version of TNA Impact, but it was a victim of the ‘disc read error’ from the past week. Ditto with the Ultimate MUSCLE-licensed Galactic Wrestling. I picked that one up long ago, but never played it all these years and was stoked to sit down with it on a couple occasions this past week to play it, but alas it was not meant to be.
-A game that was able to load on the PS2 this past week was Namco Bandai’s The Fast and the Furious. It turned out to be an ok-open world street racing game, much like Need for Speed: Underground on the PS2, but with more of a focus on drag races. Odd memory of the day I picked up this game I will never forget: I was out of town for a hockey game killing time at a pawn shop a couple hours beforehand with a buddy where I randomly bought this with a handful of other games. In a gut-punch of irony, it was later after the game while re-fueling on gas, I was catching up on my timelines when I found out earlier that day was when Paul Walker perished. -Another game I was hoping to throw in this past week was 24: The Game. I am a huge fan of the show, and I remember playing a demo of it at E3 2005 and thinking it was surprisingly alright for a licensed-based game. Sadly, that disc was also a victim of the ‘disc read error’ message, so instead I will point everyone to this highly entertaining spoof video review you can see by click or pressing here from then-GameSpot staff member, Alex Navarro.
-Speaking of PS2 games based off licensed TV properties, I want to shout out The Shield: The Game. It was a very by-the-numbers third person action game, and featured unremarkable gameplay, but having the show’s cast well represented visually and aurally in the form of voiceovers was enough to quench my fandom for that show. Despite the five out of ten I gave it in my review at the time, if you were a ardent fan of The Shield, then it was just something you had to play. -I am a big fan of the PS2 slim, but it is worth mentioning a major caveat of the slim: it does not support the PS2 multi-tap for reasons perplexing me to this very day!
-It is almost a prerequisite that I purchase faithful videogame conversions of my favorite board games and TV game shows every console generation and the PS2 was no exception. It had an adequate version of Risk with multi-tap support which was a semi-worthy substitute when we were not up for setting up the board game. Its versions of Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune had a bountiful amount of hosting video clips from Trebek and Vanna, respectively, to perfectly capture the look and feel of the show. The PS2’s version of Family Feud however is easily the worst version I have ever played. Insanely short entry response times, unresponsive button inputs and overall clunky design forever marred the Family Feud brand! Looking back at my review I am guffawed that I scored this a six out of ten. -The last fighting game I was really into on PS2 than the others previously mentioned was Virtua Fighter 4: Evolution. I first played it at Chris’s place like how he introduced me to most other fighting games, and Chris would school me at it nonstop. A short while later, I was staying over at my sister and brother-in-law’s place where they also had that game. I stayed up late after they went to bed and spent hours mastering Wolf since he was the sole pro-wrestler of the roster. Next time I met up with Chris I finally won ONE match against him, but after that he refused to play me again!
-Now while I gushed earlier of my adoration for TimeSplitters during the launch window of PS2, I would be remiss if I did not give some well-earned props to the third game in the series, TimeSplitters: Future Perfect. In the past several years, that game has remained in the rotation of go-to couch multiplayer game with my friends Derek, Brooke and Ryan. It retains the same style of FPS gameplay and creation options as the first game, but now with a ton of extra characters, weapons and levels available. My preferred playlist would be rocking the disco level with its appropriate theme music, and playing as a big bear (complete with bear claw strike!) and whamming everyone with gigantic bananas on the dance floor. Classic times! One of the Best Systems Ever? That is what hardware sales and overall critical reception trend to be when looking back at the PS2. While I now look back fondly at the PS2 as a whole, especially my first two years owning the system, I cannot deny for a few years in the system’s heyday I was not too keen on the system due to it bricking on me and preferred playing games on Xbox and GameCube instead. Like I stated above, I came around on this a few years later and had a blast with the PS2 in its cross-gen sunset years, and revisited its vast library numerous times over the years.

You’re Still Here!?
Somehow you still made it to the end of another tome of a flashback special from me, so that means I must reward you with an oddball PS2 anecdote of my past! I referenced in past specials how I attended several retro videogame conventions that took place every year in Milwaukee - The Midwest Gaming Classic. At the time the podcast known as Team Fremont Live would always host Jeopardy-style game show each year. My brother and I were picked to be contestants that year! To spice things up for the crowd and get them involved, after every few questions of trivia there would be a quick videogame challenge for extra points and prizes for the crowd and/or contestant. I got picked to play a single stage of the space shooter/shmup, Castle Shikigami 2. Two incredibly loud kids got picked from the crowd got selected to only verbally trash talk and distract me, and if I lost one life then the kids would get a game, but if I somehow overcame the odds and finished a level on a single life then I would win. Now I enjoy playing an occasional shmup, especially in March (it is intergalactic Shmuppreaction month, ya’know!), but I nowhere consider myself legitimately good at the genre and usually lose at least a couple lives a level for almost any shooter I play. Somehow the shmup gods were on my side that day, because even with one of those kids unleashing maximum effort with trash talk directly against my ear, I somehow zoned them out and unbelievably managed to finish the stage and beat the boss with one life. I was at zenith-level of goosebumps during that boss battle and had a cool-down moment of emotions as soon as let go of the arcade stick. My prize? Metal Gear Solid 2, which I would eventually give a serious effort to and finish several years later! That moment, along with the 100-6 loss in NCAA Football 2004, are my two most cherished PS2 moments I will forever remember….and now you can too, because the MGC staff record my attempt and posted it on YouTube. I have embedded it below, or you can click or press here to see it yourself.

Dreamcast Games In-Retrospect: Soul Calibur
“A Tale of Swords and Souls, Eternally Retold”
Last month I had briefly discussed the Sega Dreamcast’s 20th anniversary. I mentioned how, for a console with as limited of a lifespan as this one had, the Dreamcast resonates with me to this day. It took a month for me to think about all of the games that I’ve had the fondest memories of, so I’ll get started on one fighting game that had a bit of a resurgence in the past year or so.
Although we are currently up to Soul Calibur 6 at the time of writing, there are seven games in the series.
Serving as the sequel to Namco’s cult classic sleeper hit, Soul Edge (Or Soul Blade if you played it on the Playstation in North America), Soul Calibur tread new ground on the Dreamcast.
With a different name, different leading protagonists, and a different story revolving around said characters, it is to be forgiven for most to mistakenly attribute Soul Calibur as the beginning of the series. When I was a child and I first saw this game at a friend’s house, I had initially thought the same myself. For many such as myself, this was their first foray into a series that would stand the test of time to this day and what a statement this game made.
Graphic-wise, this game was akin to catching a glimpse of the gaming future. Released on launch day in North America, the game was beautiful to look at. If there was a game to fully exhibit the power that the Dreamcast had to offer compared to already established consoles at the time, this would be the game.
Compared to Tekken, Namco’s other flagship fighter, the stage models are rendered as beautifully as the character models. There are actual 3D models in the background of some stages, as shown in Sophitia’s stage with the pillars and Kilik’s stage with a lone dock.
In stages that feature water, when a character falls in the water, ripple effects are shown. Water movement is natural. In stages that feature specific timezones, such as a lone ship at sunset, dynamic lighting is used to illustrate this.
Heck, one of the stages even has you fighting through a Japanese cave on a raft!
While moving stages has been a thing since the original Soul Blade and prior fighting games, seeing it at such a smooth framerate was exhilarating. The motions of every character in the game felt solid and unique. Each character had personality even without knowing the context of the story.
The gameplay even reflected this as a hulking beast like Astaroth who can command the mid-range with his mass and mighty axe can be overwhelmed by the more nimble and close-range trickster, Maxi. Fitting that these dualities are what stems their rivalry as well.
Soul Calibur was many things. It could be considered Dreamcast’s tech demo. In some circles, a killer app. In many circles, it was a gateway to a legendary series that was overlooked on the Playstation 1. Going immediately to Soul Edge once I was aware of its existence made me appreciate what Soul Calibur had done for the Dreamcast. Everything I had mentioned as far as graphical achievements, were details that the Soul team was doing back in the mid 90s. The Soul series always excelled in pushing the boundaries of what a game could be capable of.
Soul Calibur was a game that expanded my horizons as a young fighting gamer. Coincidentally, another 3D fighter would provide the same effect. One that I had talked about briefly earlier this year. Care to take a guess on what the next feature will be? :)
Until next time! May your Soul still burn!

Koei Tecmo: One Last Chance for English Dub
It has been nearly three years since I started writing the Koei Warriors Rant Series in reaction to Warriors Orochi 3 Ultimate and Samurai Warriors 4 being localised without English voices. Over the years, I have learnt a lot about the localisation and dubbing of animes and video games, along with the sad truth about gaming companies - they don’t listen to their fans when it comes to some particularly important elements.
Over the course of the Koei Warriors Rant Series and later, Dub Logistics, I have changed my focus of my ranting and discussion from Koei Tecmo to other Japanese gaming companies. However, I have noticed recently that despite my efforts, Koei Tecmo have still not dubbed some of their most important games, which I will outline below. Therefore, it is with a heavy heart that I provide this ultimatum hypothesis:
If Dynasty Warriors 9 and at least one other game (preferably Dissidia Final Fantasy NT) is not dubbed on release, then Koei Tecmo will likely never dub a Koei Warriors game again.
As you may know, Koei Tecmo have disgraced their dub fans time and time again with their lack of English dubbing in localised games, particularly in the Koei Warriors series, which is the main focus of this post. Here are a few examples of the “important” games that have not been dubbed:
Warriors Orochi 3 (despite a two-year gap between releases, Warriors Orochi 3 Ultimate has not been dubbed as well)
Samurai Warriors 4 (despite the game celebrating the tenth anniversary of the franchise)
A.O.T. Wings of Freedom (despite the original Attack on Titan anime receiving an English dub)
Berserk and the Band of the Hawk (same as above)
Before you start at me for being entitled or something like that, let me tell you now that I’ve heard all the reasons before and I will more or less have the same answer for what you are thinking. So why not just check out the Dub Hater’s Guide to Dual Audio and look up your reason before I have to ban and shame you on my Facebook page?
Here’s my reasoning about why I have picked Warriors All-Stars, Dissidia Final Fantasy NT and Dynasty Warriors 9 as the lynchpins for my hypothesis:
Warriors All-Stars
While the undubbed digital exclusive Dynasty Warriors: Godseekers celebrated 15 years of Dynasty Warriors 2′s release in Japan, Warriors All-Stars, also known as Musou ☆ Stars, celebrated Omega Force’s 20th anniversary and by extension, the Dynasty Warriors series.
At the start of the year, I made a post predicting that Warriors All-Stars would be subbed based on the number of franchises that have received dubbed or subbed releases. A few weeks later, I broke down the statistics and discovered that the ratio of dubbed to subbed franchises came very close at 7:6. When Koei Tecmo announced that they would be localising this game to the West, I gave them a challenge to implement dual audio for the characters who came from dubbed franchises. At the same time, I broke down the statistics again and determined a dub/sub character ratio of 15:12. I thought that if only the 15 characters received English voice options (maybe alongside the original characters of the game), then maybe the fans would be a bit happier. I mean, look at the Marvel vs. Capcom series, or maybe even Tekken and Street Fighter. If those games can have characters speaking their own languages (let along dual audio), then I don’t see why the characters in Warriors All-Stars can’t do that as well.
So in short, partial dubbing for this game would be sufficient in my opinion. Subbed characters like Toukiden’s Tokitsugu or Nights of Azure’s Arnice can still have their Japanese voices, while dubbed characters like Zhao Yun or Yukimura Sanada should have an option to switch between their English or Japanese voices.
UPDATE: 7 August 2017 - After checking the newly-created Steam page for Warriors All-Stars, it is now clear to me that Koei Tecmo intends on subbing this game, even with William from Nioh retaining his English voice actor. This is NOT a partially dubbed game, but rather a sub-only game, just as we predicted. As such, Koei Tecmo have failed the challenge that I have given.
Dissidia Final Fantasy NT
This game is not a Koei Warriors game, but there is a reason why this game is on the list. As you may know, Dissidia Final Fantasy was a PSP game that featured characters from every Final Fantasy game ever made. In 2015, it was announced that Dissidia Final Fantasy would receive a reboot for arcades, with a PS4 release being planned for at least a year after the launch. The game would be developed with the partnership of Team Ninja, known for developing the Dead or Alive games and being affiliated with Koei Tecmo.
The arcade version of the game was released on November 26, 2015. In early June 2017, an Amazon entry for a worldwide PS4 release was leaked, confirming an early 2018 release, similar to Final Fantasy XV. Currently, we have no information regarding its localisation or the languages available, but given that the game was developed with the cooperation of Koei Tecmo, we fear that the game may not be dubbed, thereby alienating and disgracing English dub fans.
As such, we hope that Koei Tecmo stays out of the localisation and release of this game, allowing Square Enix to release the game as they do best. However, being a Final Fantasy game, I can probably reassure you that it is a given fact that Square Enix would be responsible for the release of this game. All we can do now is pray for this game to be dubbed.
UPDATE: 7 July 2017 - It seems that we have confirmation of Dissidia NT being released with dual audio, thanks to a tweet from Square Enix community manager Dan Seto. Basically, regardless of what happens with Warriors All-Stars, everything stands on the localisation of Dynasty Warriors 9.
Dynasty Warriors 9
Koei Tecmo’s habit of not dubbing their localised games led to them forcing a partial dub for Dynasty Warriors 8. Camp voices and narration were omitted, to the outrage of English dub fans, and certain voices (like enemy defeated quotes) from Dynasty Warriors 7 were also reused. Now, don’t get me wrong, but I think a partial dub is better than having no dub at all. However, given their disgrace to their dub fans in recent years (particularly regarding the release of Dynasty Warriors 8 Empires), I think that it is time to say “enough is enough”.
If Dynasty Warriors 9 does not receive a decent English dub, then it is likely that future Koei Warriors games will never be dubbed again. Keep in mind that I’m not talking about other Koei Tecmo games like Dead or Alive and the Atelier series (which frankly, is still sub-par in terms of dubbing all the voiced lines).
With Dynasty Warriors 9 being an entirely new platform with the introduction of the open world system, we are predicting that this game will hopefully be more popular than any other Dynasty Warriors entry, even if the entire series is just repetitive in terms of gameplay. Without English voices, the games wouldn’t be as popular and successful as they are today.
UPDATE: 7 August 2017 - With the confirmation that Warriors All-Stars will be subbed and Dissidia NT will receive dual audio, this is basically a reminder that the fate of English dub in Koei Tecmo games rests with Dynasty Warriors 9. While it is clear that we should not expect English dubbing in most of their games (with the exception of the main Atelier and Dynasty Warriors titles, possibly including Xtreme Legends), we hope that Koei Tecmo will at least wake up and give us an explanation as to why they have not dubbed many of their important games. However, I realise that this “explanation” has been answered by a lot of their fans, some who are pretty adamant on defending their decisions. So while they have lost a lot of my respect for them over the years, I’m basically making Dynasty Warriors 9 my “last chance” for them, since I believe that they are probably saving up for this game.
As of this post, we have received no confirmation or explanation as to why Koei Tecmo is giving up on dubbing their localised games. By extension, I have not seen them implement my suggestion for funding an English dub through a Kickstarter-like campaign. If our hypothesis is proved to be true, then we may still have a chance for future games being dubbed on localisation. Otherwise, we can conclude that Koei Tecmo has stopped caring for their English dub fans. Until then, I will be posting updates regarding this on the NoDubNoBuy page, so stay tuned.
UPDATE: 13 Feburary 2018
Well, Dynasty Warriors 9 has been released with English voices alongside Japanese and Chinese (Mandarin) voices as well. It’s a 2 out of 3 result now, meaning that there is still some hope for Koei Tecmo to continue dubbing their games. However, because the cost to dub the game was too great, I have now decided to end my fight with Koei Tecmo and stop following their pages. In this post, I’ve identified over 15 games that had their potential dubs sacrificed in order to dub this one. Additionally, the recent SAG-AFTRA voice actors’ strike has caused them to change recording studios and fully recast the voice actors. I know the strike wasn’t necessarily Koei Tecmo’s fault, but that just did it for me.
We may have won, but at what cost? With things going the way they are, it’s better to just assume that Koei Tecmo will only dub the Dynasty Warriors games and move on.

My reactions to the Nintendo E3 Direct in order of shit I remember best:
- Who? I actually saw the name on Tumblr first, did not know who the fuck this was; still not sure. Like I know what Tekken is, but eh whatever
- Oh thank fuck, Kirby lived
- Sees the bananas and the word “anniversary”, gets hyped for a second, realizes it said “20th Anniversary”, and realizes it’s not Donkey Kong related; immediately loses hype
- fuck-yeah, Metroid
- I don’t know what’s going on in BotW2, but Link has a robot arm and has cool new powers and shit, so that’s cool.
- I don’t know what this edgy bullshit is but I’m glad people are excited for it
- Wario, my fuckin-man!!! Now all I need is some friends,
- Super Mario Party, but better.
- CapCom You already had your time yesterday with your Monster Hunter Pokemon game, either show us something new with it or give something else a chance.
- Golf with no limits
- Where’s Bayonetta?
- Where’s Donkey Kong?
- 40 minutes in and it just ends? Was that it? We had like 20 more minutes, Nintendo really couldn’t muster up anything else to put in? Pokemon? Splatoon? Nintendo World? Nothing?

EVO Reaffirms Plans to Host Tournament at the End of July
March 19, 2020 11:28 AM EST
While keeping an eye on the Coronavirus pandemic, the EVO Team announced it still plans to host the popular fighting game tournament at the end of July.
In a sea of canceled events, tournaments, and public gatherings, due to coronavirus, one tournament is (so far) standing firm, EVO 2020. The largest fighting game tournament in the world released a statement this week, regarding the fate of this year’s event. In the release, the EVO Team states that they are still planning to hold the tournament at the Mandalay Bay on July 31 – August 2. This is, of course, assuming that the venue itself is back open.
An important message from the Evo team… pic.twitter.com/jUuiQSIITz
— EVO (@EVO) March 18, 2020
Being a bit later in the year than other tournaments and events like E3 offers the group a bit more time to wait and see. The release does indicate though that the team is closely monitoring the virus situation. And should EVO ultimately wind up being canceled or postponed, ticket owners can feel safe knowing that their purchases will be refunded.
EVO 2020 surprised fighting game fans earlier this year with the return of an older EVO staple and a glaring omission from the modern FGC scene. Marvel vs Capcom 2 is making its triumphant return to celebrate the games on the 20th anniversary. It will bring together previous EVO champions of the title. Keeping a spot open for new challengers for a chance in an 8-player to take the crown themselves.
It takes the spot of last years’ Mortal Kombat 11 which just recently held its stream-only Final Kombat tournament. While it was highly anticipated prior to its release and found a relatively strong following, Mortal Kombat 11 was dropped after only a single EVO appearance. It’s a decision that has left fans divided and shocked. Especially considering it had been receiving new characters up until just recently.
For as much as I love EVO and fighting games in general, I think it’s only a matter of time before it gets moved or canceled too. EVO draws in giant crowds, particularly on Sunday with the Grand Finals of big games like Super Smash Bros Ultimate, Tekken and Street Fighter. I would be quite surprised if the ban on such large and cramped together events is lifted in time.
For the full list of games that will be at EVO check out our thoughts on the lineup reveal!

It was to begin with launched inside Japan as an arcade recreation, still was launched internationally upon Wii U inside 2016, and is way too getting ported in direction of Nintendo Swap. As with a lot of battling video games, gamers acquire a temperament towards a lineup and interact inside of hand-in direction of-hand battle with an opponent. Classic combating game titles are traditionally performed with buttons which correspond toward the energy of the assault, these as effective punch or very poor kick. Tekken, Sadly, dedicates a button towards every of the 4 limbs of the fighter. The gameplay course of action involves blocks, throws, escapes, and flooring battling. Inside A historical past of violence: Harada upon his Tekken ISO occupation , avid gamers could possibly merely block assaults manually. Towards then upon, starting off with Tekken 2, figures instantly block When not relocating ahead or operating routines, a aspect termed "impartial protect." Name or retreating people will block large and heart assaults with no enter versus the participant, even though crouching people will duck substantial assaults and block minimal types. Purely natural heart assaults will strike crouching gamers, yet some one of a kind mid-assaults can be blocked by means of each stand and crouching impartial shields. In the meantime, urgent backwards will supply the participant an "busy safeguard" that can face up to sure combo assaults that would generally penetrate the impartial defend. Some figures are in a position with parries and reversals that act such as classic "thrust button toward block" courses. Tekken 3 launched handful of gameplay alternate options that had been stored inside later on online games, which includes the electric power toward sidestep into the foreground or record. Tekken 3 and afterwards game titles moreover very low restoration year right after becoming knocked down and gave figures rolls toward recuperate abruptly soon after hitting the flooring, making it possible for the participant in direction of attain back again into the battle even more all of a sudden at the possibility of staying strike even though rolling. Tekken 4 gave figures even better mobility via including real 3D stream within geometrically difficult arenas with asymmetric flooring, obstructions, and partitions. The 3D gameplay permits detrimental aspect and again throws as a advantage for outmaneuvering the opponent, as effectively as evasive assaults that produce right versus a sidestep. Tekken 5 observed a blend of walled and unlimited arenas, although discarding asymmetric flooring. Tekken 6 keeps a great deal of the style versus Tekken 5 nonetheless way too incorporates a "Rage" manner, which activates anytime a persona is close to the close of his energy bar and earns a problems multiplier. "Certain" hits had been on top of that additional, in just which a participant related with an airborne opponent will point him inside of an inevitable grounded country, permitting combo extensions. Tekken 6 on top of that includes destructible flooring and partitions that make it possible for the fighters in the direction of blast all through in the direction of fresh new battling parts whenever damaged. Tekken Tag Match 2 keeps Those variables although on top of that incorporating a fresh style of point crack ("balcony breaks", which is a blend of flooring and wall breaks in which people will transfer in the course of a breakable wall and drop towards a low position inside of the identical series). Tag 2 person attributes involve Tag Attacks (cooperative mixtures prompted as a result of hitting a Certain and a tag at the similar period) and Tag Crashes (an unexpected emergency tag taking place the moment downed and the associate is now within just Rage). Tekken 7 introduces some flow improvements in direction of the Tekken components. The again stroll animation is at the moment identical in the direction of Tekken Revolution, presenting a even further fluid move absent towards the opponent as opposed in the direction of a slower shuffle. Regular monthly again rolling against a grounded place consists of been taken out and rather changed with a fresh new escalating animation and doing work a "ankle kick" (kicking the name opponent although laying facial area up upon the floor) is at the moment accompanied via a refreshing back again roll in the direction of aid crank out break up. Balcony breaks versus Tag Match 2 are clearly show and work equally in the direction of how they did in just solo enjoy. Fresh new characteristics involve "Ability Crushes" (an assault that are unable to be interrupted as a result of month-to-month assaults at the time the animation incorporates started) and "Rage Arts" (assaults that can simply be utilized whenever your personality is made up of strike a Raged region around the stop of their power meter, sacrificing the Rage manner in direction of work the assault). Certain includes been generally taken off help you save for unique cases (confident moves can bring about a Certain if not comboed into and all lower parries will result in a Certain effects, related toward Tekken 6: Bloodline Rebel; ground breaks currently final result within just an influence equivalent in direction of a Tag Attack inside Tag 2 as an alternative than a common Certain) and alternatively people at the moment consist of additional regular reach in the direction of an "Aerial Tailspin" affect (an assault that throws an opponent backwards on to their thoughts as opposed in the direction of specifically downwards, When it is nevertheless unavoidable after induced which suggests the combo can proceed). Avid gamers can decide towards a distinctive forged that hails against a wide range of ethnic backgrounds and combating products. A handful of figures consist of supernatural origin, this sort of as Devil, Angel, Mokujin, Ogre and Azazel, whilst animal people together with Kuma, Panda, the Roger household, and Alex offer comedian aid. Inside the tale method of the activity, each individual persona always consists of their individual unique good reasons for moving into the event and competing for the prize. The protagonist of the sequence incorporates different involving installments; the temperament finishing of just about every canon match establishes the protagonist of every single. Kazuya Mishima was the protagonist inside the first match, his dad Heihachi Mishima was the protagonist of Tekken 2, and Jin Kazama is made up of been the protagonist because his debut within just Tekken 3. Hence considerably, simply 4 figures include seemed inside of all most important Tekken online games: Yoshimitsu, Heihachi Mishima, Nina Williams and Paul Phoenix. The Jack cyborgs, Kazuya Mishima and Lee Chaolan seemed within just 8 installments (When Kazuya did produce a cameo within just the 3rd video game). Other repeated people contains Anna Williams, Lei Wulong, Marshall Legislation, King and Kuma. Inside of truth of the matter, all 9 online games characteristic the latter 3's combating models, even if they had been represented by way of substitute people (i.e. Marshall Legislation vs. Forest Regulation, King vs. King II and Kuma vs. Kuma II). Figures with record connections in just the tale normally incorporate types or moves within well-liked. For case in point, Heihachi and Kazuya Mishima, by way of virtues of familial romantic relationship and looking through less than the identical Superior Mishima Structure Combating Karate self-discipline, consist of rather very similar moves and a signature "crouch sprint" stance for lovely considerably their total appearances within just the collection. Jin Kazama, once he debuted, furthermore experienced the very same Mishima battling structure, whilst he merged this with Kazama Structure Classic Martial Arts as practiced via his mom, Jun Kazama. For storyline explanations, beginning upon Tekken 4, he forwent this within just want of Classic Karate, a extensively choice willpower that technically built him an absolutely option identity, though his outdated movelist was presented in the direction of his demonic type, Devil Jin.
