Just like last time, four groups to decide who will get the open spots. However there is a odd number so we might do a Last Chance Preliminary poll once again. The top 3 of each group will move on to the bracket. Number 4 will go to Last Chance. The rest are banished to catering forever.

The preliminaries themselves will be out soon hopefully in the next hour or so are out now. Thank you for the support and here's to another fighting game tournament.

Also been dead for a month so tagging for visibility, however you are not obligated to. If you do, then thank you very much.

Inspired by fistsofcarnage's post found here:

I decided to share my own opinion on the Tekken 8 base roster while we wait for its release!

A more detailed ranking:

Favourites

1. Nina Williams - My Queen since c. 2005

2. Jun Kazama - I really really missed her

3. Lili - Crazy rich girl? Love it

4. Zafina - Weird spider / scarecrow / praying mantis Egyptian lady? Of course I love her

5. Azucena Milagros Ortiz Castillo - La Reina del cafe is looking GREAT

6. Jin Kazama - Him and Hwoarang have been my main "men allowed on the upper tiers" for a while now

7. Ling Xiaoyu - My love for Xiao is a relatively more recent development but she's a queen alright

8. Hwoarang - Angery kick boi. You love to see it

Love (?) Is a strong word to describe my feelings for the following but I like them alright and maybe even played as them in past Tekken games

9. King - I mean it's king

10. Shaheen - A huge downgrade over his Tekken 7 design, still cool

11. Asuka Kazama - Asuka had tons of potential for me but her one-sided rivalry with Lili and them being positioned as the main female rivalry of the series for a while now (I wonder if it has anything to do with them being teenagers~) has kinda damaged her characterisation a bit for me. She's kinda there for Lili to have something to play with nowadays rather than being her own character. I still like her but nowhere near the amount I liked her in her Tekken 5 era.

12. Steve Fox - Steve is cool. He's okay.

Like

13. Lee Chaolan - This is such a weird redesign... Lee is so extra and fun but I can't stand the new look.

14. Yoshimitsu - Yoshimitsu is Yoshimitsu

15. Reina - Kinda basic but cute

16. Leo Kliesen - Kinda basic but cute

17. Lars - Kinda basic

Neutral / Dislike - My phone and also Tumblr only had an orange-y yellow marker so I merged these two together

18. Victor Chevalier - French James Bond Ninja Noctis Samurai looks kinda cool

19. Raven - I liked Master Raven more

20. Claudio Serafino - I liked him back when he was revealed but he ultimately became too forgettable for me

21. Devil Jin - Edgier Jin. Whatevs

22. Alisa Bosconovitch - Sex slave robot modelled after an old man's dead teenage daughter that a middle-aged man has the hots for will never not be creepy

23. Leroy Smith - Meh

24. Kuma - Even bigger meh, and I'm also still mad that both him and the other fucking bear keep taking up TWO slots but Christie being playable alongside Eddy in Tekken 7 was such a ludicrous idea for Namco

25. Marshall Law - I liked his Tekken 4 / 5 moustached look more. Him gulping all the fucking steroids in the world between Tekken 7 and 8 was not a wise choice

Hate

26. Panda - Read Kuma's entry. She's lower than him because she looks weirder now and I think both look weird when they put clothes on them but she looks weirder this time

27. Kazuya Mishima - Too boring

28. Bryan Fury - Too ugly, boring and loud

29. Paul Phoenix - Too ugly and boring, and also he looks his worst in this redesign

30. Sergei Dragunov - Too boring and ugly but at least he's fun to play with

31. Feng Wei - Too ugly and loud

32. Jack-8 - It's a JACK unit... All these redesigns and upgraded models and Jane still hasn't figured out how to not make him look fucking ridiculous

I'm still missing Anna Williams, Christie Montero and (mum) Kunimitsu. I hope Anna at least fucking makes it as Christie is probably gonna be left out in favour of Eddy again and since they introduced a younger, cutesier and more boring version of Kunimitsu in the form of her daughter I don't think we're ever seeing her again.

I wouldn't mind seeing Katarina return either, Miguel's chest is always nice to look at and I'm DEFINITELY on the Lucky Chloe did nothing wrong camp! I also think that over the years I've grown more fond of Forest than Marshall but unless his dad's liver stops working from all the extra steroids he took I don't see him making it back until the next Tag Tournament

JE RENDS HOMMAGE ... A tous ceux qui parlent au vent , Les fous d’amour, les visionnaires , A ceux qui donneraient vie à un rêve ! Les rejetés, les exclus , Au réel ou suspect fou . Aux Hommes de cœur , A ceux qui persistent à croire, Au sentiment pur . A tous ceux qui se déplacent encore ! Un hommage aux grandes impulsions, Aux idées et aux rêves . A ceux qui n’abandonnent jamais, Ceux qui sont ridiculisés et jugés . Les poètes du quotidien ! Pour les héros oubliés et pour les vagabonds . Pour ceux qui n’ont pas peur De dire ce qu’ils pensent ! A tous les chevaliers errants , Qui ont parcouru le monde Ou qui le feront un jour . Miguel de Cervantes

@ n'abandonne jamais

FLOWER POWER

Flower Power est une œuvre de l’artiste Miguel Chevalier. Cette installation consiste en un parterre de fleurs projeté au sol par des projecteurs. Ces fleurs poussent de manière organique et aléatoire, suivant un cycle naturel: elles naissent d’une graine, grandissent, fanent, puis laissent place à de nouvelles fleurs. Cette œuvre recherche constamment son arrangement idéal. En plus d’être en perpétuelle évolution, elle est interactive, permettant aux visiteurs de se promener dans le parterre de fleurs où ces dernières se déplacent sous leurs pieds pour créer un passage.

J’ai choisi cette œuvre car j’ai trouvé son côté immersif pour le visiteur très intéressant. Le publique participe à son évolution au fil du temps. J’ai également apprécié son lien avec la nature. L’utilisation de nouvelles technologies dans ce projet est pertinente et peut remettre en question l’idée de la recherche de l’idéal. Est-ce toujours nécessaire d’aspirer au meilleur, et à quel moment peut-on réellement dire l’avoir atteint?

Happy Fall!

Afterlife by Julia Alvarez

Antonia Vega, the immigrant writer at the center of Afterlife, has had the rug pulled out from under her. She has just retired from the college where she taught English when her beloved husband, Sam, suddenly dies. And then more jolts: her bighearted but unstable sister disappears, and Antonia returns home one evening to find a pregnant, undocumented teenager on her doorstep. Antonia has always sought direction in the literature she loves - lines from her favorite authors play in her head like a soundtrack - but now she finds that the world demands more of her than words.

Afterlife is a compact, nimble, and sharply droll novel. Set in this political moment of tribalism and distrust, it asks: What do we owe those in crisis in our families, including - maybe especially - members of our human family? How do we live in a broken world without losing faith in one another or ourselves? And how do we stay true to those glorious souls we have lost?

At the Edge of the Orchard by Tracy Chevalier

1838: James and Sadie Goodenough have settled where their wagon got stuck - in the muddy, stagnant swamps of northwest Ohio. They and their five children work relentlessly to tame their patch of land, buying saplings from a local tree man known as John Appleseed so they can cultivate the fifty apple trees required to stake their claim on the property. But the orchard they plant sows the seeds of a long battle. James loves the apples, reminders of an easier life back in Connecticut; while Sadie prefers the applejack they make, an alcoholic refuge from brutal frontier life.

1853: Their youngest child Robert is wandering through Gold Rush California. Restless and haunted by the broken family he left behind, he has made his way alone across the country. In the redwood and giant sequoia groves he finds some solace, collecting seeds for a naturalist who sells plants from the new world to the gardeners of England. But you can run only so far, even in America, and when Robert's past makes an unexpected appearance he must decide whether to strike out again or stake his own claim to a home at last.

Harvest of Secrets by Ellen Crosby

It’s harvest season at Montgomery Estate Vineyard - the busiest time of year for winemakers in Atoka, Virginia. A skull is unearthed near Lucie Montgomery’s family cemetery, and the discovery of the bones coincides with the arrival of handsome, wealthy aristocrat Jean-Claude de Marignac. He’s come to be the head winemaker at neighboring La Vigne Cellars, but he’s no stranger to Lucie - he was her first crush twenty years ago when she spent a summer in France.

Not long after his arrival, Jean-Claude is found dead, and while there is no shortage of suspects who are angry or jealous of his ego and overbearing ways, suspicion falls on Miguel Otero, an immigrant worker at La Vigne, who recently quarreled with Jean-Claude. When Miguel disappears, Lucie receives an ultimatum from her own employees: prove Miguel’s innocence or none of the immigrant community will work for her during the harvest. As Lucie hunts for Jean-Claude’s killer and continues to search for the identity of the skeleton abandoned in the cemetery, she is blindsided by a decades-old secret that shatters everything she thought she knew about her family. Now facing a wrenching emotional choice, Lucie must decide whether it’s finally time to tell the truth and hurt those she loves the most, or keep silent and let past secrets remain dead and buried.

This is the ninth volume of the "Wine Country Mysteries" series.

The Cider Shop Rules by Julie Anne Lindsey

The Fall Festival is in full swing. Civil War reenactors from three counties are partaking in Blossom Valley’s tribute to John Brown. Blue Ridge Mountain foliage is in full bloom. And best of all is Jacob Potter’s pumpkin farm where his hay rides, piglet races, pumpkin picking and corn maze are time-honored draws for locals and tourists alike. That’s why it’s such a shock when Mr. Potter is found dead, hidden under a tarp in the back of Winnie’s pickup truck. This certainly betrays Potter’s reputation as one of the town’s most popular citizens. Fortunately, when it comes to solving a murder, no one has a patch on Winnie. Now, all eyes are on her to do it. Unfortunately, that includes those of the killer who’ll do anything to keep an orchard full of secrets buried.

This is the third volume of the "A Cider Shop Mystery" series.

Fernando Pessoa, uomo dalle mille vite

Lo scrittore che raccontò il magico mondo del Portogallo… Fernando António Nogueira Pessoa nacque a Lisbona il 13 giugno 1888 da Madalena Pinheiro Nogueira e Joaquim de Seabra Pessoa, critico musicale d'un quotidiano cittadino. Il padre morì nel 1893 e la madre si risposò nel 1895 con il comandante Joào Miguel Rosa, console portoghese a Durban, così Fernando passò la giovinezza in Sudafrica, dove seguì tutti gli studi fino all'esame d'ammissione all'Università di Città del Capo. Pessoa tornò a Lisbona nel 1905 per iscriversi al corso di Filosofia della facoltà di Lettere e,  dopo una disastrosa avventura editoriale, trovò lavoro come corrispondente di francese e inglese per varie aziende commerciali, impiego che mantenne senza obblighi di orario per tutta la vita. Intorno al 1913 iniziò a collaborare a varie riviste, come A Aguia e Portugal Futurista, avendo al suo attivo letture significative, come i romantici inglesi e Baudelaire, scrivendo prose e poesie in inglese. Intorno al 1914 cominciò ad usare gli eteronimi di Alberto Caeiro, Ricardo Reis e Álvaro de Campo, autori fittizi che posseggono una loro personalità e  il loro creatore viene chiamato ortonimo. Pessoa da piccolo ideò il suo primo personaggio di fantasia, il Chevalier de Pas, attraverso il quale scrisse lettere a se stesso, come disse in una lettera dell'eteronomia a Casais Monteiro. Nel 1915 con Mário de Sá-Carneiro, Almada Negreiros, Armando Córtes-Rodriguez, Luis de Montalvor e  Alfredo Pedro Guisado, Pessoa fondò la rivista d'avanguardia Orpheu, che riprende esperienze futuriste, pauliste e cubiste, suscitando varie polemiche nell'ambiente letterario portoghese, aprendo una serie di prospettive inedite fino ad allora all'evoluzione della poesia portoghese. Seguì poi un periodo in cui Pessoa fu attratto da interessi esoterici e teosofici che ebbero dei riscontri profondamente influenti nella sua opera. Al 1920 risale l'unica avventura sentimentale della vita del poeta, con Ophelia Queiroz, impiegata in una delle ditte di import-export per le quali Fernando lavorava ma, dopo una pausa di alcuni anni, il rapporto cessò definitivamente nel 1929. In un'intervista rilasciata a un giornale della capitale nel 1926, successivamente al colpo di stato militare che mise fine alla repubblica parlamentare e portò all’avvento del regime salazariano, Pessoa espose le sue teorie del Quinto Impero, consistenti nell'attualizzazione delle profezie di Bandarra scritte nella prima metà del XV secolo che raccontano di come il re Don Sebástian, dato per morto nel 1578 nella battaglia di Alcazarquivir, sarebbe tornato per instaurare un regno di giustizia e di pace, di carattere culturale e non militare o politico come gli imperi del passato. Mensagem fu l'unica raccolta di versi in lingua portoghese curata personalmente dal poeta,   pubblicata nel 1934 ed ebbe un premio governativo di 5 mila escudos, con una serie di scritti di teologia, occultismo, filosofia, politica, economia nonché altre discipline. A seguito di una crisi epatica, causata dall'abuso di alcool, Fernando Pessoa morì in un ospedale di Lisbona il 30 novembre 1935. Mentre in vita la poesia di Pessoa ebbe poca influenza, fu  poi ampiamente imitata dai poeti delle generazioni successive, grazie anche al lavoro di traduzione di Antonio Tabucchi, traduttore, critico e grande studioso dell'opera del poeta portoghese.
