Akira Toriyama - Creator/Writer/Artist on Dragon Ball and Sand Land and Dr. Slump, Artist for Dragon Quest and Chrono Trigger and Blue Dragon - Dies at 68

I know everybody's talking about it, but I feel like everyone is focusing 100% on how he was the Dragon Ball guy. And while that's undoubtedly his most famous work, I'd say that he had many famous works. He designed all of the Dragon Quest series' characters, which is probably his second-biggest contribution to culture. He also created/designed both characters and settings for the seminal RPG Chrono Trigger, designed the characters for the Tobal series of fighting games, designed all characers for the Blue Dragon series, and wrote/drew NUMEROUS other manga, with his second-most-famous probably being either Sand Land or Dr. Slump. You can get a better look at his entire oeuvre here.

I was legitimately stunned when the news broke. It always felt like he'd keep going forever, y'know?

Getting Akira Toriyama to do character design was one of the most amazing things japanese game dev companies would just do every once in a while.

Another Vortexx Casualty...

I almost forgot Dragon Ball Z Kai is one of the Vortexx's shows. Sadly, the mangaka for this series, Akira Toriyama, died earlier this year. Man, he gave his whole life to bring us some goodies like the Dragon Ball, Dragon Quest (Dragon Warrior), Tobal, Chrono, Blue Dragon, Dr.Slump and Sand Land franchises. If it weren't for him, someone else would have beat him to the punch with such ideas. It's a shame he's no longer with us anymore, but his works will shine on.

Console Fighting Games of 1997 Tobal 2

Second and final entry in the Tobal series of fighting games on the PlayStation, Tobal 2 like its predecessor the games characters are designed by Akira Toriyama.

Tobal No 1 sold extremely well in Japan with over 700k copes sold, this was likely due to the FF7 demo that came with the game, these sales however did not translate to the US where the game failed to break the 100k mark, as a result Tobal 2 was not released outside of Japan.

I set up Tobal 2 at home, and I am now pretty sure that the buttons were not mapped right during my tournament set against PND Ketchup; not all of the attacks were even mapped. But!! It was fair because our buttons were the *same*, and neither of us had played the game before.

My victory burrito was delicious.

Chicago's Famous Mystery Tournament

So overall, I had a great time at COMBO BREAKER in Chicagoland a couple of weekends ago! Lemme tell you about the MYSTERY TOURNAMENT and my experience playing in it!

MYSTERY GAME is an FGC tradition, specifically coming up out of Chicago (so you'll see it at Frosty Faustings and Combo Breaker especially!), but you'll see it run at other events too!

The premise is, at every stage of competition, you are faced with a different obscure game, given no instructions, and you have to play a set in that game right now! Figure it out, kid.

Generally everybody in a pool will play the same sequence of games, and it can vary, depending on whether you're on winners side or losers side -- but different pools will get different games if it's a big event.

So I signed up for this at Combo Breaker, because how could I not? It was initially full, but thankfully they raised the entry cap, so I got in there!

For my tournament run, my pool started off with Asura Blade, which I had never even heard of, but I got a moment to look at people playing it before my match, and it looked like a fairly normal 2D fighter. Unfortunately, my opponent didn't make it to the pool in time, so it looked like I would skip out on playing Asura Blade! OK, we take those, no worries.

For the next game on winner's side, we got the surprisingly familiar Art of Fighting 3, which I had played before, and has had a few videos made about it recently (this one is great, you should watch it), and I picked Robert and did some pretty Normal Shoto Zoning in the way a person who's been playing fighting games for 30-odd years might. It worked out, and I won!

But. While I was playing my second match, my opponent from the first match showed up, and the bracket runner decided to un-DQ him for some reason!! They were yelling "hey where's Alex R" while I was playing AOF3, and I was like "I'm right here, I'm playing, you putz!" ... the decision was made that I'd have to fight my first opponent in Asura Blade, and if I won that one, then my second match would count, and if I lost, then that match would be invalidated! I wasn't too upset, but I feel that was a bit unprofessional; they should have kept my opponent DQ'd.

On the other hand, I got a chance to try out Asura Blade, and I won my match in that game too -- I picked Rose Mary, the hot girl with purple hair and a floating sword and zoning strats. Can't go wrong with the purple hair girl. And it worked out! I found the good buttons (floating sword go brrrr) and figured out how to do supers when I had meter, and so my first two matches counted. On to the third match! Am I truly unstoppable at mystery? ...

For my third match (still on winners side!), we played SABER MARIONETTE J - BATTLE SABERS, which I had definitely never heard of before. I forget exactly which character I picked, but it might have been Bloodberry? I think if I knew the name, I would have picked Bloodberry. I found out how to block, and I found a good special move, and we were off to the races, won my set 2-0 again! Up three sets!!

For my fourth match, we played Battle Cross, which alert readers at home might know -- is a racing game, not a fighting game, and was never released outside of Japan. It was completely unlocalized, and the interface was inscrutable for those who cannot read Japanese.

So a second ridiculous thing happened here. I sit down next to my opponent. We fist-bump. The little race begins, and we intend to start guiding the little cars around the little track.

One of the cars -- the red car -- is moving around the track. The black car is remaining stationary, at the starting line. This is WINNERS FINALS of the pool, and the winner of this match is going to get out of the pool on winners side, SECURING A FREE BURRITO. I'm pretty sure that I'm driving the little red car, and my opponent's car is still remaining stationary. I'm not going to say anything about this, because This Is Tournament.

So in not too long, the little red car completes its tenth lap around the tiny track, and a little stats screen pops up. Race over! On to the next race! And my opponent says "OK, 1-0, let's go!" ... but I am sure that I was driving.

We call the judge over, and he fiddles with the controls and tells us that I was actually driving! (my opponent thought the same thing I thought, except I happened to be right!) The judge told my opponent which button was the gas pedal, and the match proceeds. With that knowledge in hand, he brought it back and won the next two races, sending me to losers. GGs and good racing, opponent.

On Losers Bracket, I then faced none other than PND Ketchup, one of my favorite Kommentators and video essayists about NRS games! (my other favorite is his brother Mustard). And we played Tobal 2, which I had never played before, but I vaguely knew about! I picked Ill Goga and Ketchup picked Hom the robot, and I pretty quickly found how to block, and how Ill had some good jab strings and a really nice ranged tail attack. To be totally honest, it's possible that the buttons were not configured right, because neither of us found any attacks that had to be guarded low, but... simple jab pressure and handling the frames well and spacing with the tail attack, and I beat one of my favorite YouTubers, FOR THE BURRITO!

He was very gracious afterwards.

I made it out of my pool, on to the second stage!

For the second stage, I played Slap Happy Rhythm Busters against a guy possibly even older than me, who I found out afterwards is an obscure fighting games enthusiast and variety FG streamer, and that is exactly the kind of person you don't want to face in mystery tournament. I picked Garia, recognizing her as a profile pic that @vice-s-assistant uses on Steam, and my opponent picked April the cowgirl. And uh... I didn't win.

But I had a great time! Out at 4-2. And I got a burrito credit to redeem later at Chipotle, and it tasted like victory.

Thanks for reading <3 Play fighting games.

RIP, Toriyama-san. Your pen and perspective will be missed. 🙏🤖🐉

While they both go about it in different ways and one (Legends) definitely does it better than the other (Evolution) I feel like Mega Man Legends and Evolution exist on that cozy axis in regards to their tone/worlds.

Obviously that's because they have similar premises (Adventurer explores ruins to make dosh + uncover some legendary thing that turns out to be a device with a 'kill all humanity/not!humanity function) and a main difference in that one is fantastical and has airships and what not while the other is a more down to earth and semi-realistic including crippling debt setting, but still.

Am I just trying to say I'd be down for a crossover between these two settings? Maybe.
