I live in complaint Welcome to Get Played, your voice-over show. Oh, no. Can you imagine if that was how the show started? Can you imagine? Welcome to Get Played, your one-stop show for good games, bad games, and every game in between. It's time to Get Played. I'm your host, HAC, along with my fellow host, NW. That's me and FW, Nick Weiger, along with our third host, Matt Apodaca.

Hello, everyone. Hello, everyone. Hello, everyone, and welcome back to Get Played, the premier video game podcast where we talk about video games, video game-related media. We gripe about, I don't know, like hitting the streets. Yeah. Politics. Politics. We get into it. Sometimes we'll talk about soup for too long.

Have we done that? I felt like we talked about soup for a little while, and it was within my power to cut it out, but I felt like the people needed to know what we thought about soup. And it turns out, we all love it. It's great. If you're just joining us for the first time, and this is your very first episode, I want to say welcome. I want to say, you know, from the subscriber numbers from the listener numbers it

looks like you may be the only new listener this week but i'm talking specifically to you that's huge actually no i'm looking at it right now it upticked by one versus last week yeah this is yeah specifically targeted at you that individual responsible we sort of have like um you know like in um movies where there's like a imminent war or something and there's like a big board with the entire map on it and lights little lights indicating where the war might happen right we're sort of recording in a war room i'm thinking of like dr strange love but you're but you're gesturing to our map yeah no it's our map yeah we have that map yeah we have the map and that blinking light is you and i want you to know a little history this show started as

a show where we talked about the worst games of all time and we subjected ourselves to just infinite horrors by playing them every week. It's true. Then we went crazy and we were like, I can't do this anymore. I'm miserable. That was during pandemic, right? When you were miserable? Yeah. I can't keep track of time.

I'm asking you what day it is. We're quantifying it by when we were miserable? Yeah, when we... I can't keep track of time. I'm asking you what day it is. Well, if we're quantifying it by when we were miserable or not, it's going to be hard to figure out exactly when that was. As far as when we sort of gradually opened it up to include, we would do episodes about notable games. We would do episodes about just like weird games that were still also interesting. Worst and Weird weirdest became our thing

but then we'd also like be like ah let's talk about ghost of tsushima or whatever well and then also there would be there was a brief period of time where we also were like we're gonna scale back the number of games we do a month and then just do one episode that's just like a vibe oh that's right like it's a hangout episode and And then we were like, well, this is easier and more fun. Yes. And more sustainable. We'll just do this. And they will actually will switch. But every episode still has a topic.

And we've got a really fun topic this week. Here the same week that Street Fighter 6 came out for home consoles and PC. That's right. Did it come out for PC? I don't know. Yeah, it's on PC now. out for home consoles and pc that's right come out for pc i don't know yeah it's on pc now yeah street fighter 6 uh the latest iteration of the street fighter series from parent company capcom famously in the 90s released many many many versions of street fighter 2 until finally releasing street fighter 3 uh to lackluster approval and time time can only- I would say bafflement.

People were just so confused by Street Fighter III. Yeah, but not me. I loved it. Well, by the time Third Strike came out, I think everyone came around, but you were on board from the get-go. Yeah, well, it's, I mean- It's more Street Fighter. Yeah, if Ryu's in it, then I'm in.

And if Akuma's in it, then I'm fucking in. Whoa. Akuma's a good, he's cool. Sometimes I box in's in it, then I'm fucking in. Whoa. Akuma's a good... He's cool. Sometimes I box in an Akuma shirt. That's really cool. Yeah. I would be dressed like Dudley if I was a boxer. Great look for you. I could absolutely pull that off. You think I could?

I think we sort of part down the middle, but like greased down. I'll do it. Get that mustache going. Yeah. Big blue boxing gloves. And I'm fucking huge. He's huge. Yeah, he is huge. He's a big dude.

He's huge. And he throws a rose that does damage, chip damage. Anyway. Such a funny character. We're talking about Street Fighter adjacent stuff because Street Fighter 6 came out this week. Yeah, that's right. And this month's We Play, You Play will be Street Fighter VI. So we're going to have a full episode dedicated to it.

All of our thoughts once we get some more reps playing this bad boy. That will be out on Monday, June 26. This is also the month where Get Played goes international. We are going to have one of our members recording abroad for a short stint. And that member is me. Wow. So I'm going to be covering some of the gaming situation in Europe, how easy it is to game there, how hard it is to game there.

I think that we've, especially recording in Los Angeles, we have like kind of infinite access to retro games and game-themed bars. And who knows what's out there in the greater world. So if this is your first episode and you're in Europe, keep listening. And tell your friends. And if there's gaming-specific

things in Europe that you're aware of that Heather might not know, let us know. Yeah. Find us on our Discord, which is... Discord.gg slash getplayed. We're doing a lot of table setting, and guess what? Dinner's almost ready.

And you know what we're having? Soup. Because we love it. It's fucking great. We fucking love soup. Any soup updates before we keep going, everybody? I'll tell you what.

Is curry a soup? Yeah. It's absolutely not. No. Oh, there it is. There it is. It's not... not viscous viscous i also think that it's like it's since curry can also be just like a sauce or a seasoning i was gonna say it's more of a gravy to me yeah it's like yeah it's almost like gravy well there is thin curry there's

like watery curry yeah you can have a curry that you can't pour over something because it'll just go in between the cracks and i feel like this must be said just to get it out of my system you can't forget about tim curry either a fucking legend yeah you can't forget about him voice of gabriel knight in the original game you can't forget about him can't forget about him it sounds like heather forgot i did I kind of forgot. I did. Speaking of what you were saying about the worst and weirdest format and what we're covering today, we, in the past, we did an episode on Street Fighter, the movie, the game. Yes. Which is the tie-in game for Street Fighter, the movie, the live-action movie. And we were considering doing Street Fighter, the movie, the live- movie. And we were considering doing Street Fighter the movie,

the live action one, Raul Julia's final performance. I just don't think an episode about Street Fighter the movie can be topped after the incredible How Did This Get Made episode about Street Fighter the movie. That's right. That's an all-timer. And also, I think there's an element of like we don't want to torment ourselves yeah necessarily because that movie is dog shit it's really bad you what you want it to be fun you want to have some redeeming aspect but it's just nonsense i got

visibly angry when i looked at the text yeah and my wife says what what is it is something wrong and i went no we're just to watch this fucking terrible fucking movie. And I don't want to do it. And I'm angry about it. And I don't want to. But that's not what we're doing, listeners. No. It's well-trodden territory.

Everybody's heard about it. Yeah. But not to get too far ahead of ourselves. But like, for instance, the Super Mario Brothers movie, the live action one, that's like a fascinating watch. Yeah. And it's got elements of it that are kind of interesting. It's completely foreign

from the source material. Yeah. But it's kind of a, it's got a cool aesthetic. It's got cool production design. It's got strong choices versus Street Fighter. The movie is just fucking nonsense.

But that's if you're talking about Street Fighter, the live action movie. And today, we're going to're talking about Street Fighter, the live action movie. And today we're going to be talking about Street Fighter 2, the animated movie, the 1994 Japanese production that's just a Street Fighter anime. And hey, if you like listening to this episode and you think, ah, these guys talk about anime in a pretty cool way, you should listen to our sister podcast, Get Animated. That's right.

Sometimes we'll talk about soup there too. You never know where we'll talk about soup. We talk about soup all the time. Is coffee soup? Okay. So that's closer than curry is, I think. But I think still no. Matt, what you said is insane.

That's closer to being soup than curry? I think so. I think it is. If you're sort of like looking at it on like a scale of what is and isn't soup, curry, no. No, curry, yes. Coffee is sort of like. Coffee, no. Coffee is more like Coca-Cola and nobody would be like, oh, Coca-Cola is a soup.

Well, crumbled some crackers into coffee. Look, you'd be institutionalized. I stand by what I said. And obviously, Coke is not a soup. It's cold. Wait, but no, there are cold soups. Not in my house. What have we done?

We're doing it again. Let's get out of soup country. Yeah, no more soup. Yeehaw. No, we should start with a discussion of like, oh, wait. Oh, sorry. Yeah. Do you want to grab?

Yeah, you can grab the mic. Yeah. Stay a while and listen. Oh, wait. Oh, sorry. Yeah. Do you want to grab? Yeah, you can grab the mic. Yeah. Stay a while and listen. Oh, my God. It's Deckard Cain from Diablo. Wow. What the fuck? Another early June release.

That's all month long. I've heard you talk about Hyrule this and Zelda that, but you have not talked about the return of Diablo. The scourge ravaging Tristram, turning towns into fountains of blood. The only Diablo I've played is the

fucking iPad version. And I feel like I have let you boys down by being the person who is the least Diablo of the three. You've let down the people of Tristram. You didn't stay a while and listen. You left immediately. The craziest thing is that this elderly man has no notes. He's just pulling all of these words from his memory of the places. Everyone is going around in tears of the kingdom

being like, oh, look, I can build a big mech with my ultra hand ability. Well, you know what we've had in Diablo for a long time? The Horadric Cube. I tell you, you put three potions in the Horadric Cube

and out emerges a bigger potion. There you go. Okay, that's actually pretty, that's good, useful information, I would say, Deckard. Useful information of the battle against Diablo. But here's the thing, and maybe we'll get into this later on in the month. I presume we're going to be speaking about Diablo 4 at some point. Shouldn't this game be called Lilith? Lilith is a part of Diablo's legion. I mean, I think it, I don't think

I think you'd call the game Lilith. People would be like, no, it's a Diablo game. Hey, Deckard was it? Yes, Deckard Cain. Deckard Cain. I've got a question for you. Is ketchup is ketchup a kind of curry? Is ketchup curry? No, no, it's not curry. It's a soup, maybe, but it's closer to Coca-Cola. No, ketchup is closer to tomato soup.

Well, you've caught me in a little trap, haven't you? Ketchup is closer to soup than coffee. And if ketchup is a soup, then so is curry. Ketchup, the tomato soup, all that makes me think of is all the blood spilled by the minions of Diablo. I am worried that people are listening to this and thinking we all got bonked. Like we all just got like bonked in the head. My wife got bonked in the head by one of Diablo's minions. I do have a legitimate question for you, Dickard Kane.

Are you related to Frasier? Obdicitly. His last name is Crane. He changed his when he immigrated his family at ellis island they added an r that's right no i remember this yeah that's a very that's a big plot point did i did i tell you guys speaking of ancestry about what i found out about my last name for real side tangent your great grandpa's a can of soup no I found out, and this baffles me, completely baffles me.

So I have done a lot of research, some genealogy. Have I really not told you guys this? I don't think so. I'm just meeting you now. So I went, I don't know, like 10 generations up. Yeah.

Not even. Six generations up. Yeah. My family immigrates in like 1901, right. I don't know how many generations that is. They they they they immigrate in 1901. And when they're in England coming over, their last name is Smith. And when they arrive, their name is Campbell. And I was like, what the fuck is this? And it turns out that one of my relatives started a photography business and he just changed his name because he thought smith wasn't marketable so my last name is an advertisement wow that's interesting yeah no you never said that before your your your your ancestor was concerned about the brand i i like my whole family like we've done like oh what what the campbell clan and like the sc the Scottish kilts and going to Scotland. And, like, all of it was bullshit.

It's all fake. I don't even have Scottish in my 23andMe. That's interesting. It's Irish. Yeah. You said the name was originally Smith? Yes. Are you related to the Smith who destroyed the monastery

and slaughtered its inhabitants? Why are you rolling your chair so much, Deckard Cain? I can't get comfortable. This robe doesn't work with the height of this chair. Anyway, you may be asking yourself, how can I, the listener, help in the fight against Diablo? And, well, I would encourage you to spend a bunch of money in the Diablo online store and buy cosmetics.

Okay. All that money goes to fund the fight against Diablo. I see. I see. I didn't realize that this was SpawnCon. I didn't know that Deckard was coming on here to shovel his wares. Oh, just buy a bunch of platinum. That's the in-game currency.

And use it to buy cosmetics, you know, because the stuff looks great. And also all the money goes to us and we help, you know, unify everyone to fight Diablo. So it's very charitable. Is this part of this episode that this guy just dropped by to tell us to do microtransactions? I guess so.

I'm looking at the production order here that I have in front of me, and it does turn out that, yeah, this is a sponsored episode. That's part of my agenda. Again, it's a good cause. Yeah. Can I ask you about the one cosmetic set that costs 27 real American dollars? Yes. What's your question?

How do I buy it? Yeah. How do I buy it? How do I buy it? Just look into the online store. Oh, okay. It's integrated into the game, so you can't miss it. Well, Deckard, usually when we have a guest drop by, we like to have them ask us a particular question.

That's right. That's right. You know, that's my main reason for being here. And my question for all of you is, what are you playing? Wow. Deckard. Wow. I got to say, well, Nick, first of all, you missed Deckard Cain.

I know, and I'm such a huge Diablo fan. You're of the three of us. It goes you, then me. Then a chair. Then a chair. then a chair, and then Heather. Yeah. As far as who's a Diablo fan. Well, Deckard comes in here. He's like, we only got the three

microphones. So I was like, okay, you can take my microphone. And then I remember I had some soup heating up in the microwave. So I went to go get that. Yeah, and he just pounded that real quick, and I thought I'd be back here in time. Pounded soup? Yeah, my mouth is scalding. Yeah, some hot ketchup. Squeezed a bunch of packets

in his bowl. He used the scroll of town portal and got out of here. Oh my god. Wow. It was cool to see him for a minute. It was cool. He was really nice. Carl! Carl! Carl! What is this show? Well, uh, I don't know. I downloaded it. Thought we'd listen to

some of it on our drive. Well, I don't understand. I downloaded it. Thought we'd listen to some of it on our drive. Well, I don't understand. I thought it was a video game show. Uh, yeah, sweetie. I'll just turn it up. I'll turn it up. Maybe we'll get to a point soon. Do you guys notice that the room is slowly filling with gas?

Guess what? As of this record, mere hours ago, the once vaulted trios system, which would allow not one, not two, but three players to perform the act of Fortnite together simultaneously, was taken off of the playable modes just hours ago as of this record was returned to Fortnite.

Wow. So that means that if you only have, as my friend Barrett likes to say, I'm an adult. As my friend Barrett likes to say, I'm an adult. I don't always have time to wait around for all of my squad to show up. Sometimes only three of us are there. And that's the compromise you make in adulthood. Sometimes there just aren't enough people around to all play a video game. So I am glad that the adult mode of Fortnite has returned. But what hasn't returned are swords.

Instead, there's Spider-Man fucking web slingers. Not a big, not a huge fan. The season ends. Sound like J. Jonah Jameson over here. Give me those Spider-Man hands! That's the right guy, right? Yeah. Okay, great.

Perfect. That's the right guy, right? Yeah. Okay, great. So in just a couple of weeks, this season of Fortnite ends. The island is currently cracked as some kind of like volcanic activity is happening. I love that there is a perpetual change in the game itself. But I don't really have much else to report on the Fortnite front. It feels like the game is in a bit of a

holding pattern as we wait for the next huge launch. I did get the Miles skin. You gotta. You gotta. I love Miles. Also, for the first time in my whole life, I received a spoiler about an October Fortnite

thing that I can't share. Oh, interesting. Wait, did this like get data mined and you got it's like on a site or are you saying you actually have some inside info? Inside info. Wow. It's pretty exciting. So if you're from Epic and you're listening to this, why don't you just fucking grill everybody and be like, who told her? Who fucking told her?

And the truth is, you don't even know what I'm referring to. Can I ask you something? No. But it's a good question. Did John Jones tell you? Who's John Jones? He's like the main guy. The main guy of what?

In Fortnite? No. He's just like the white guy. That generic guy. Wait, he's a player character yeah that's the name of the generic character jonesy yeah jonesy yeah no jonesy didn't tell me okay hey the banana it was the banana well he he woke me up in the middle of the night unzipped his suit. Horrifying. He peeled himself.

Yeah, and he had the body kind inside. Oh, God. The blood and flesh. The banana with bones? Yeah, the bones banana. Matt, what have you been playing? Okay, well, guess what? What?

I'm still playing Tears of the Kingdom. That's okay. We're all playing Tears of the Kingdom. I'm not. No one's done with Tears of the Kingdom. All right, Heather's not playing Tears of the Kingdom. That's okay. We're all playing Tears of the Kingdom. I'm not. No one's done with Tears of the Kingdom. All right, Heather's not playing Tears of the Kingdom. I got the Master Sword and I stopped playing. Heather played the game in what can only be described as an absolutely insane way. Wait, have I-

I quote, I'm just running towards things I think I can kill and I kill it. I quote, I'm just running towards things I think I can kill and I kill it. I know I've said it on Get Animated, but I don't think I've said it here. Got the Master Sword before I got binoculars. Yes. I don't know what I'm doing in the game. Do you have the paraglider? Yeah. I did.

I did get the paraglider. Okay. Which was necessary to get the Master Sword. No spoilers. Yes. I think you just, you need it. Right. In order to do half of the shit on the island. was necessary to get the master sword no spoilers yeah i think you just you need it right in order to do half of the shit on the island uh that's i mean it's i want the master sword because i

i'm having not that i'm having a hard time i'm finding out that i'm not good at some of the things that are like i'm just not good at parts of the game like what uh like combat and not getting killed uh like and i have have quite a few hearts. I've been completing the dungeons, the temples. I have, last night I completed my third temple, three of four. Wow. And I have, I think, something like 12 or 13 hearts

and almost complete stamina. I'm one thing away from having three full rings of stamina. One stamina ring. Yes. Five hearts. Master sword. No binoculars. I want to talk about this lightly and not spoil anything, because obviously there's stuff in the game that still people are discovering on their own.

But when you complete the temples, or when you explore the environmental phenomena. The what? That's one of the main quests on the map. That's what they want you to do. Like, oh, go explore why the Rideau village is snowy. Or why the Goron village is, everyone's all weird there now. Because they're eating, eating like poison rock meat is that true yeah and then you explore why and it's interesting but like after you complete those

you get um there's like a boss and the bosses are all so fun and so interesting i don't know if you've done any of these you've done yes you've all done the uhau Temple. Yeah, that was a really fun boss fight, I thought. Like maybe like an all-time boss fight to me, honestly. I loved it. Can I ask how you guys handled that boss? Because I feel like the game's been out for a little bit. What was your technique? I mean, I had enough arrows,

but you don't necessarily need arrows to make that happen. You can dive to, it's this sort of, it's not quite a dragon, but it's like this like big bug kind of, right? Yeah. That has these sort of like glass ovals in it. It has three of them. You know, you break through all of them and then it has a weak point that you can get after that. You can dive through those if you're flying through the air. Or if you've been paying attention to what you've been doing in the run-up to that,

because there's all these frozen ponds that you go to a high elevation and then you smash down through. That's right. I'm fucking dumb, so I was just like, oh, I've got to hit those things. So I just blasted them with arrows. Yeah, I did it with arrows just for expedience, because also you don't have to get that close to do it. You can do it from kind of a safe vantage. I did the dragoon spear dive.

Oh, nice. So if you have a spear, you can wrap your body around it and just scream at top speed towards those enemy points. And you go through the glass and the weak point all in a single motion. Okay, yeah. I liked, of the boss fights that I've done so far of that quest, I think that one is still my favorite

of the three that I've done. I didn't love the boss fight for the water temple or whatever. What are they called? You know, Prince Sidon. Yes. I can't remember what. The Zora?

Yeah, the Zora area. I didn't care for the boss fight in that one. I thought it was just a little too easy, that one. But then in the Goron village, that's a great, great boss fight. But then that temple is hard as shit, too. I thought it, because it's in the depths when youon village that's a great great boss fight uh but then that that temple is hard as shit too it's i thought it because it's in the depths when you go in that one it's i found that one to be quite difficult um but once you clear those you get in the same way that you would get um uh an ability after completing a um divine beast temple where you get like rivali's gale

or whatever you get like an ability uh where you can like summon the power of one of these guys or whatever and I think I'm trying to get the final one so I could just have all four as I go through like the rest of it and like explore more uh because I think it would just be fun to have my my guys just kind of hanging out. I've heard online, but I haven't seen demonstrated. So I only have the one guy. Okay. The wind guy. Tolan.

Right. Or Gusto. Gusto. And you just, he's activated by pressing A. Yes. When he's ready to go and then you press it again and then you can blast wind. I've heard that after you get all the guys, you got to go up and talk to each of them to unlock their powers is that true i'm well i think i think the powers are upgradable like no that they're just like standing around and you got

to go fucking talk to them oh like in the world no that they're like with you as a squad yes you you have to go up to them. That does get frustrating, actually. Jesus. I have three of them right now, and you have to be standing by the one that you want to use. Sometimes it's conditional, right? Like they're not going to be all in the air with you. Sure. Cholin is going to be in the air.

That's going to be easier for using the gust. But if you're on the ground, someone might be standing next to the Goron guy that you get and you might accidentally activate the wrong one. But it doesn't, they all have individual cooldowns. It's not like a one cooldown for like using an ability. Like you could trigger them all at once if you want. The thing, this is the thing that these NPCs do to me is fill me with existential dread.

Yeah. This is the thing that these NPCs do to me is fill me with existential dread. Yeah. Because they are alive somewhere in the world, but their apparitions are following you. Yeah. As like a fucking avatar or a like, what is happening exactly? Is that a projection of their mental thoughts? Is that a clone of them that exists in the spiritual realm? Well, there's the ghost you become when you die.

Yes. But when you're alive, you also have a ghost. So that ghost is being separated from your physical form. Yeah, you, Nick, currently have a world ghost. So my world ghost is out somewhere just up to no good. Yeah, and there's somebody he's probably tethered to. Yeah. up to no good yeah and there's somebody he's probably tethered to god and yeah and that person unleashes the powers that you have whenever uh they're required yeah but you don't have to be

cognizant of that when when somebody else is dealing with your world ghost so yeah again that's what just sort of fucks with my brain the idea of that happening the idea that somewhere a stranger has just like me hanging out with them. Well, they probably don't have you specifically. They probably have somebody they want to hang out with. I could help them with some tasks. I'm tall. I could

reach things. That's true. You are tall. Yeah, you're good at reaching. Yeah. No, that's good. Fucking great at reaching. I hope that the world ghost of Nick is the Japanese dubbed version so that when somebody needs something like a pepper shaker,

they're like, hey, Nick, and he goes, Ike! That would be wonderful. I love that. But, I mean, all that that to say i'm playing this game still i'm really loving it i think i'm like 60 hours in uh i've definitely crossed over to 60 hour point at this point somewhere between 60 and 80 now i would say um but that's that's that's it i i'll be playing this for a while and now it that June's here and Street Fighter and Diablo are out, I'm in trouble, baby.

Too much stuff is going on. So as far as what I've been playing, I have also been playing Zelda. I have nothing new to add to the Zelda conversation. I feel like my thoughts are everyone's thoughts. I'm experiencing the same things everyone is experiencing. It's kind of overwhelming, but it is cool. It is an

amazing design. I want to update people on Immortality, which was a game I talked about last week and which I have now finished in a sense, which I'll get to. So this is, again, an FMV game. It is following one

actress and her career as she acts in three different movies across three different decades. She's in a movie in the 60s and the 70s, and then she falls off But it also includes things like rehearsals and auditions. Some of it strains credulity a little bit where there's like, you know, why would they be filming a table read in 1968? But you just kind of, like, it's fine. Like, you give it some leeway. And it is kind of cool, I feel like, in terms of just showing, like, the filmmaking process because you're not getting scenes, you're getting shots. It's like you're using editing software, so it'll be just one character's coverage or just the wide as an entire scene is being acted out.

And then the three films that they've come up with, and they're all B-movies, and I think that was also a strong choice because it lets them get away with kind of having like, you know, a little bit more of a low budget production value. They get to lean into the jank a little bit. So there's a movie called Ambrosio, which is like, you know, like a kind of a monastery where there's some sort of demonic happenings. There's one called Minsky, which is like a seventies sort of crime drama. That's also got elements of like, you know, the, the pop art scene. And then there's a movie called two of everything, which is kind of like a, a little bit of a, a, a Prince and the popper sort of, you know, two P two people switching identities involving a pop star and is very much in kind of like the nineties music's world.

Uh, one thing that I think is really cool, and this does a great job of exploring to varying degrees of subtlety, is the interpersonal dynamics between the cast and crew. Like on one of the films, you can tell they're all clashing with the director.

They like fucking hate the director. And then on the next film, the director is now the director of photography from that film so like they keep like you know he's clearly changed roles and they're not they have a different sort of interaction with them there's like love triangles that you can sense between crew between cast members and crew members and you know there's like producers being sleazy like all that sort of shit is is is integrated in there and it's like just cool it's just interesting storytelling

to kind of discover that um in a non-linear fashion because basically what will happen is you'll what will happen is you'll scrub through some footage you'll find a clip and i think i talked about this last week and then it will just basically match cut from something in that to a something possibly from that same movie possibly from a different movie or possibly from a bit of supporting archival footage from a talk show appearance or a commercial or something. There also are, as you start to explore this, there are these larger, more supernatural narrative elements that tie into the title. I won't spoil them, but like her story, it never really spoon feeds for you what the story is. You have to infer a lot in terms of like, okay, who are

these supernatural beings? Exactly what is happening. And I think that's all cool. I think all that is great. My issues with this game are technical. One is that it actually plays better with the controller, which doesn't really make any sense. I'm playing this

on PC. There's no reason why this shouldn't be very playable with mouse and keyboard. But as far as scrubbing through footage, and then also it offers a lot of force feedback in terms of cues of when something important might be happening that you need to catch, like that's conveyed much better on the controller. And I just don't quite get why this isn't why it's not easier to do with a with a mouse and keyboard. I also think that there's a there's something that isn't told to you. And I understand why it's not told to you. But it's like kind of hard to discover on your own. I did, but I was reading some people's reactions and a lot of people didn't figure this out so sometimes when you'll be scrubbing backwards or forwards through footage at a speed other than just like standard play you know play speed you will start to see hints of something weird happening like something will be superimposed or the footage some other figures who aren't actually in the scene or now suddenly appearing but it depends on how fast you are going whether or not you will actually cue that so there's stuff you can have watched a clip completely and totally miss out on that element if you're not going through like you either have to be fast forwarding it or rewinding it or go or doing frame by frame in order to actually pick up on that and then if you once you once that clicks in that scene will play out automatically and that will inform the larger narrative but just the way that is i'm clunkily describing it but i it is clunkily sort of

maybe that's because it's kind of clunkily implemented and so i like i that i found a little frustrating especially for a game that i think is going to be like non-gamers will play this they'll be like oh i like movies i want to play around with this or like i'm not someone who wants to something with a challenge because there's no real challenge in this game it's just exploring everything and discovering and piecing some things together. But the worst thing is, the big issue is that I get a bug with the end game. There's a certain point where, and this was

a thing that I thought, like, I wasn't sure what was happening. I wasn't sure if I could just figure out the puzzle solution. But there's a point where I will be, I will not spoil this. I will be very, very spoiler-light. There's a point where your thumbnails for all your footage changes to something else. And they all sort sort of change and i couldn't figure out how to progress i'm like figure i'm trying to like literally fucking everything to try to get

something to queue up uh i end up like searching for it what is and it turns out this is a known issue this is a known bug that some people encounter where you this is what starts up the end game um but then their game just kind of hangs So I had to control all the lead out of there. I got back into the game and I got the achievement for finishing the game. And so that's how I experienced the ending. And it was just like a real fucking bummer. Like, you know, and I could

play some more and I played some more and, you know, found some you know, there were other endings and stuff but it was just kind of one of those things like, oh god, I wish this had been fucking patched out by this point. So anyway, overall a really cool game. I think a really interesting piece of interactive entertainment. Again, a really super committed performance from the lead actor, which I think I said on the last episode. And I do think it's worth checking out.

It's on Game Pass. And maybe some people played it, had different experiences because it's been out for a while now. But yeah, those two last things were a little bit frustrating and made it so it was not a thing that fully landed for me that sucks yeah it's kind of a bummer because like yeah you were invested you were so invested in it and then just for it to just sort of you know fart out kind of sucks and it's fucking scary too you're like oh shit some scary things happening and then it's just like oh no yeah i think i'm gonna tell my mom to play it because my mom played her story after i told her about it when we did it on the show.

And she loved her story. You absolutely should have your mom play that. If she loves her story, she'll totally like that. Oh, it's on Netflix. If you have the mobile app or on the iPad, you can play it. So I think that's right up her alley. She likes scary, too. It is scary.

It definitely gets scary. And it's fucking, I said it last week, it's horny. Well, she's not going to like that. My son told me to play this game? I'm going to be grounded. My mom is about to finish Octopath Traveler. Wow. That's fucking sick as hell.

She has fully become a gamer. That rocks. Yeah. One or two? One. Wow. Yeah. Well, that's what we've been playing. And I guess our moms. Yeah, that's true. Yeah. Well, that's what we've been playing.

And I guess our moms. Yeah, that's true. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I gotta ask my mom. She's doing mom check-in. When's the last time you talked to her? I'm waiting for her to approve my call. I left her a voicemail on my birthday.

Hey, just to see if you have anything going on or in particular that you want to say to me today. I first gave AG1 a try because I was tired of taking so many supplements every day and wanted a single solution that supports my entire body by filling in nutrient gaps daily. I need energy. I wanted to simplify my morning routine with easy habits. Since drinking AG1, I've felt energized, strong, and nourished. Not only does AG1 deliver my daily dose of vitamins, minerals, pre and probiotics, and more, but it's a powerful, healthy habit that's also powerfully simple. It's just one scoop mixed in water once a day, every day. I've definitely tried a lot of supplements over the years, but taking multiple supplements and mixing and matching pills and powders every day isn't all that efficient

and not always effective. This is why AG1 is a game changer. Just one daily scoop of AG1 covers my nutrient gaps and supports my mental and physical health in just 60 seconds every morning. I noticed I needed more nutrient support than I used to, especially when I was running out of energy in the middle of the day. But AG1 covers my bases with high-quality ingredients in pre and probiotics, adaptogens, antioxidants, and whole food source nutrients. I know with AG1, I'm giving my body high-quality nutrition. Every batch of AG1 goes through a rigorous testing process, so you know it's safe.

And AG1 ingredients are sourced for absorption, potency, and nutrient density. AG1 is a supplement I trust to provide the support my body needs daily, and that's why I'm excited to welcome them as a new partner. If you want to take ownership of your health, it starts with AG1.

We've got a really fun thing to talk about today. Our main topic is Street Fighter 2 the movie, the animated movie, which is a 1994 anime film, which is an adaptation of Street Fighter 2, specifically Super Street Fighter 2, because it includes characters from the Super Street Fighter 2 revision of the Street Fighter 2 game. If you weren't around in the early 90s, you may not know what I'm referring to. So originally, there's Street Fighter 2, a massive fucking hit. Then there was Street Fighter 2 Championship Edition, in which you, the player, could then play as the bosses. Then there was Street Fighter 2 Turbo, which sped up the entire game. Then Super Street Fighter 2, which introduced even more playable characters. And then finally, Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo. So if if you were

earlier, I hinted that everybody was waiting for Street Fighter 3 to be released and it seemed like it never was going to. But Capcom did release release street fighter 2 the animated movie before i think before before the uh live action yes uh film starring jean-claude vietnam yes well that well that's the thing and i'll just say it now the because i watched the subtitled version i'd never seen this movie i'd seen clips of it i watched the subtitle version and it ends after the credits it ends with a card and the card reads they have it transcribed coming in spring 1995 jean-claude van damme raul julia street fighter directed by stephen e de souza now filming in hollywood all caps and i watching this movie i was like this to me felt like a response to the botched live action street fighter like this was like kind of like, look, we're going to reclaim this IP.

We're going to release a good version of a Street Fighter movie. But it's not. It came out first. Yeah. Which I was shocked by. It came out first. It was announced at the Ryogoku Kokuji-Kan, which was a Street Fighter 2 Turbo tournament held at that location on August 19th, 1993.

This film wasn't just like a minor film. The year it was released, it was one of the top five films in Japan. Wow. Like it was a big fucking hit. And here in America, Wow. Like it was a big fucking hit. And here in America, it sold five hundred thousand copies on on VHS and eventually DVD. I had this movie on VHS when I was when I was a kid. Wow. That's awesome. And I I was so I loved it so much. Like, it's extremely well choreographed.

It, I actually, it's, okay, so here on the Wikipedia page, it says the fight sequences of the film were choreographed by K-1 founder Kazuyoshi Ishii. K-1 is like a mixed martial art promotion in Japan. And professional fighter Andy, I'm going to say Hug, Andy Hug, who was a professional kickboxer who died very suddenly

of leukemia, but was extremely famous in Japan. The film is, like, you watch it because you are like, what are the fights going to look like? Yes. And the fights in this movie fucking rule. They look

great. This is what I was going to say is this Street Fighter 2 the animated movie it's like what do I want from this thing and it fucking delivers. It's got like great street fights. It's got the special moves you know from the game and you see Ken's hog.

What do you want in it? See Ken's hog. See Ken's hog. I want to see Ken's hog. But to Nick's point, too, it, like, starts and immediately fucking rules. So, you know, the fight with Sagat. You know the lore of Sagat has the scar, the scar Yukin from the shore Yukin. And we start with that fight.

That's our cold open, which I think is a great choice. And it's also like it anchors the narrative on Ryu, which is the problem with the. And I don't want to just like talk about everything that's shitty about the American live-action Street Fighter movie, but that one, it's like, there's so many fucking characters, and they all have kind of important roles in the story, and they're all trying to make them make sense in terms of the world. Here they really focus it down, or in terms of their narrative, here they really focus it down on Ryu and Ken and Vega, a.k.a. A.M. Bison. Yeah.

Watching this as a kid, you're like, oh, this is how the game is. This is, like, if there is a protagonist of Street Fighter, it's Ryu. It's certainly not Guile. No. Like, nobody would go up to a Street Fighter 2 machine and be like, oh, the main guy is Guile. No. Like, nobody would go up to a Street Fighter 2 machine and be like, oh, the main guy is Guile.

Like, Ryu is the guy who does, like, especially in the Super Street Fighter game, he's the guy that starts the game. Like, you see this, like, nice sprite animation

as he's, like, building up for a Hadouken. So the movie starting with basically that moment, that's fucking on point. This movie was so successful that it inspired Capcom to create the Street Fighter Alpha series. Because you got all of these backstories with these characters like young Ken and young Ryu and Ken giving him the headband and stuff. And they were like, that should be a fucking game.

And they made the Street Fighter Alpha series because this movie was such a hit. As I mentioned before, I had it on VHS when I was young. And there are some pretty substantial differences between the dubbed version and the subtitled version. When I watched this on VHS, I heard

the soundtrack that they ripped out all the sound. Wow. So the score was completely redone. And it has this nebulous Asian sound. Like like, you know, wooden

flutes. Right. And you're waiting for your table at P.F. Chang's. Yeah. Like nebulous Asian sound. And when it doesn't have that sound, it has KMFDM, Korn, Alice in Chains, and Silverchair doing the fucking music. I was fucking pounding my fist. I was so stoked. Well, when I watched, so I have the Blu-ray, and I had it sealed until this week because I was like, I'll want to watch this someday.

And that day was this week. So I had never seen the subtitled version. And I grew up thinking, I bet the soundtrack in the fucking Japanese version is better. I bet it's like riffs on the original songs from the game. I bet it's like orchestral versions of those songs. Guys, the American soundtrack fucking kills the Japanese score.

USA! USA! USA! Uh-oh, the guys from Patriot Radio are coming in. I was...

Our Patreon numbers are skyrocketing. I was... Other than, other than, like, two scenes, the American score, not because it's the one I'm more familiar with, is a more pumping action score. And that's what you want when you're watching these dudes beat the shit out of each other. You want like fucking like cool, upbeat music.

And the Japanese score sounds a little bit like casio demos uh i only watched the subtitled version i just kind of found the music generally kind of unremarkable yeah but i was i didn't have a big problem with it but that's fascinating to hear that and you know that i'm always going to be like oh the original mode's better not this fucking time, man. I do want to comment on something about the Western versus the Japanese versions. And this is probably well-trodden territory. I was not aware of this. So M. Bison is known as Vega in Japan. Yes.

Vega is known as Balrog in Japan. That's right. Balrog is known as M. Bison in Japan. Yes. It's a three-way swap basically to get over being sued for calling the Mike Tyson-like boxer M. Bison. Oh. So, yeah, he was M. Bison.

It's easier to keep in your head if you think of it that way. This is also why in the international pro street fighting game world, because you don't know what audience you're talking to, their identities are dictator, boxer, and claw. Yeah. It's like, who are we we fighting i'm fighting his claw so that interesting so that you don't confuse the listener i it sucks because i look i know he's a bad guy m bison's my guy i love m bison you mean you mean vega well yeah you mean dictator no not ball rock either yeah no yeah uh dictator yeah he. He's my main. I love his moveset. I love Psycho Crusher.

And I know that I don't think he's in six because of something that happens in five. They always bring that guy back. I hope so. Because I love him. He's such a funny character. Psycho Crusher. He's such a funny character. Psycho Crusher.

I'm bummed out because I think Vega is such a good name for like the feminine, wily, terrifying psychopath that climbs on a wall and uses a claw and protects his face. Vega feels like, oh, no. Yeah, that one fits really well. Yeah, but like I don't look at that guy and feels like, oh, no. Yeah, that one fits really well. Yeah. But like, I don't look at that guy and be like, oh, that's Balrog. Like, no. I'm like, he's got to have like a Bishonen name, like a Vega. But yeah, so this was my first watch of the Japanese and of the uncut version. Yes.

So what is different in the VHS version that you grew up with, Heather, versus the uncut version. Yes. So what is different in the VHS version that you grew up with, Heather, versus the uncut Blu-ray from 2015 or 2016? And I'll tell you, it's basically two shots of Chun-Li's boobies. Hell yeah. Full frontal Chun-Li's boobies. Hell yeah. Nipples out, nudie in the shower, Chun-Li's boobies. Hell yeah. Nipples out, nudie in the shower, Chun-Li's boobies. That scene is so prolonged. They really take their time with it. She got clean.

Yeah, she gets clean as hell. But you're seeing a lot from the back. And you're seeing a lot of butt. You're seeing a lot of side boob. And so when the shot of her just fucking tatties out like from the front comes you're like oh wow they went for it yeah like i thought they were just gonna like tease out like oh yeah here you go then they're just like nope there you go put it in yeah apparently that was cut

from the japanese version originally so like none of the versions had her full boobies. And then now all the versions have her full boobies. Yeah. And I, I, I like how long it takes. Like while she's showering, you cut the outside of her apartment. While she's showering, you then cut to an open window. Like if you're a woman watching it, you're like, this is my worst nightmare. The pacing of it is great. Oh, fuck.

Yeah. It like really builds like a horror movie, but we've jumped ahead. Let's start from the beginning. We got, we got a scene where Sagat and Ryu are fighting and while they are fighting, we see digital like scans of their bodies because we are finding out later that a cyborg is watching them fight to deduce who's the strongest. Yes.

It's funny to me that the footage that the cyborg records is so shitty by modern standards that it's like significantly worse than what a human being would see. Yeah. And it's kind of stupid that they didn't just send a guy like if they'd sent a guy he would have been like yeah i got i could see them fighting that that dude ryu is really strong you should recruit him but instead it's it's like really bad footage of their fight yeah well if you sent a guy though you wouldn't have like mathematical certainty that Ryu's power was over 3600, which is like a key plot thing.

I guess. Yeah, I guess it is. That's just in anime. Like power has a number and everybody knows the number. So after, after this scene, we see a,

an assassination by Kami. Yes. We see like some random political guy, and this is not a movie about politics, so you cut to like some random political guy, and you see Cammy in a bright red cloak in the middle of a crowd of dudes in suits. And if you were in,

one of the things that stands out about this movie is how often it's somebody in an insane outfit in a room full of dudes who look normal. Yeah. So like Cammy rushes this guy to assassinate him, tosses off her cloak, reveals herself in her like camo, like painted legs and bikini. And then does the most fucking ruthless move to this guy she vaults onto his head breaks his neck doubles over his back and snaps his spine yeah so the guy is folded like a pretzel and then she immediately gets subdued by a bunch of people yeah it's like she's putting him in like a like a wrestling submission but then she actually goes for it doesn't give him the opportunity to tap out i thought not not having seen this movie before i thought she was going to demask him because i was like okay this is she's she's obviously heroic and you know and

like this is this maybe this interior ministry is actually you know someone insidious and like when she wraps his legs around his head it's like okay she's gonna rip his fake face off and reveal he's a he's a cyborg or something like that but no she just fucking murders him right because canonically cammy has been brainwashed by bison right or dictator uh and so that that's what she does she gets she gets arrested and you cut to chun-li who we know from the games is an interpol agent right and she, hey, we got something serious is going on. There's a there's an assassination plot. Like a group of terrorists headed by the international dictator M. Bison.

And she is in her dolly like bright blue dolly dress. Yeah. With huge wrist spikes and her hair done up in fishnets and boots in a room where she is giving this presentation to only dudes in suits yeah just regular dudes in regular like there's no you could have started her off in like business wear and then later if you like show off the outfit you're like oh fuck now she's in the outfit because it doesn't make any fucking sense. It doesn't. But I kind of like it because it's like, look, we're just like we're not fucking around here. Here's Cammy in her garb. Here's Chun-Li in her garb.

This is just what this is going to be. But yeah, it's nonsense. It's nonsense. is gonna be but yeah it's nonsense it's nonsense so she's like we gotta involve the u.s military and uh we cut to guile on a fucking military base and he's like uh he's he's out to to avenge the death of his friend charlie yeah which i don't know if we knew at this point in street fighter 2 now it's such old hat that that's what he's there to do. Yeah. Was there like a like, you know, were there like text bios of the characters and maybe that backstory was in there somewhere? Yeah.

I don't know. I don't know. I don't fucking know. So so Chun-Li's like, hey, why don't we team up? And Guile's like, no, I work alone. And she's like, well, you know, Bison killed my dad. So like, I want to do this. And he's like, no, I only work alone.

We go to the Shadowloo or Shadowlaw base. Bison's got his like four bosses with him, his three bosses. Balrog, Vega, and Sagat. He's like, I got to find this Ryu guy who beat the shit out of you, Sagat. Fucking kicked your ass. He fucking destroyed you. Look at that scar.

Look at your chest. It's going to be the same. Like, you don't even bother to wear a shirt? Yeah, put a shirt on. Fucking disgusting. Nasty. I don't want to do that thing. Fucking gash.

It's one thing he got fucked up, but now you're gross? So, it's like, we're're gonna send out like a bunch of robots to find ryu because he beat the shit out of you so got yeah i get it uh and uh then we we see ryu's journey and ryu's going all over the world looking for a good fight right uh he fights fey long in like a blood sport style, like underground gambling match. Fei Long, who I think is shooting a movie and then is like,

wait, what's going on over here? And then they can't find him on set. And he goes in and he, he jumps into this after Ryu. I like, it's also weird. Cause Ryu, like I'm not here to fight.

And he just gets put into a fight. They're just like, you're wearing, you're dressed like a fighter. Get in there. You're fucking huge. Get over here, dude.

But they also say like this, this asshole is mumbling about the fight, which is funny to think of Ryu's character where he's just like, no, that move sucks. I can do that better. No way this guy's got 3,600 power. But then Fei Long, yeah, yeah, shooting something. He's like, what's going on over here? Yeah, I'll fight. But it's so, again, I've said it before.

It is, like, it's not just a lot of these animated fighting movies. You're just going to see the same punch like looped. Like every move in this is looks like it's ripped from an actual training video. Like the blocks are all like dynamic blocks. It makes me wish for a more dynamic Street Fighter experience because it's really flowy. It's it's great looking. I mean, like they make the fights look really fluid. And, you know, like I was saying earlier, but they still deliver on all the special

moves. The director is Gisa Buro Sugui, who has like, I don't, not super familiar with his work, but if you look at his IMDb, he's just got a ton of like TV credits and a few feature credits. Just a dude who's been working in, who's been working in anime for like 30 years or something by that point. So it's just like clearly just a total craftsman. And yeah,

and I also think just like that the so many of the dialogue sequences are so abbreviated and they're really not worrying too much about the logic. They're just sort of like, yeah, if I can pay longs over here, soon a movie goes in split sport and then they fight. They're just trying to get things through

as quickly as possible so they can spend time on the fighting scenes. I think that's a great choice for what this property is. Yeah, especially since we know that when you go the opposite direction

with Street Fighter, the live action movie, it is the least satisfying thing you could watch. Yes. Ryu beats Fei Long and there's a really great moment afterwards

where Fei Long's like, hey, there's this group of terrorists who's like, you know, going after people. And like, I don't know. And Rhea's like terrorists, huh? And he's like, yeah, yeah. And, you know, I'm just not sure we're going to. And while he's just fucking talking to him, Rhea just like walks away down like another road. walks away down like another road. Feilong like looks at him and then he's like, well, I guess that guy's a real fighter.

Something like that is great. Feilong in this world is like a legit movie star. Yeah. So it's like Tom Cruise starts talking to you. You're like, all right, peace out. Yeah, enough of this. Which also, and then we go to, because we almost immediately go to Calcutta, where something that's never established in this world is, how does Ryu get on an airplane? Like, the dude has clearly no ID.

He only has one change of clothes. He probably smells like he hasn't showered in forever. Yeah. And. It seems like his only income source is at a point where E. Honda is like, here, just take half my money for some reason. Which in the dub. So first off, let me let's get to that. Yeah. He shows up in Calcutta and he's watching Dhalsim and E. Honda fight. And it's just like a regular street fight between two dudes who are like fully opposites.

like fully opposites yeah and they they it's like they kind of walk the line in terms of how fantastical they want to make doll scene because it's like he doesn't he does a little bit of stretching but it's not as exaggerated as in the game he does a little bit of like yoga floating but he doesn't really do yoga flame or yoga fire you know it's more just like in like his movement kind of yeah it's not really like yeah it's not exaggerated to be like a video game or unnatural it's just more like he's he's a little loose yeah he's loose and he crunches when he moves yeah and he uses some kind of like hypnotism on honda and forces honda the ground and honda in the dub is like, no, don't see my chair. But basically in the same exact thing he says in Japanese. But then an assassin shows up and shoots somebody and is running towards a car to get away. And the car opens fire on him.

He's like half robot looking dude, like clearly part of the shadow law like organization and ryu does the sickest fucking thing like the car goes to drive away and ryu jumps up and kicks through the windshield to kick the guy who's driving yeah as it's like as the car is rushing towards him and then beats the shit out of the people in the car. It would have been great after that if he also started punching the car. So Honda comes up and you know how there are things in movies

from your youth that have just permanently been stuck in your head forever? Sure. Honda splits his winnings with ryu and in the subtitled version i finally found out what he originally says which is go ahead take it don't be shy but in the dubbed version honda says to ryu uh you gotta take half of my winnings because if it hadn't been for you, I wouldn't have won that fight.

We Japanese have to stick together because we're brothers. There is a version of, there is something akin to we Japanese have to stick together. We're both Japanese. There's something like that in the subtitles. It's nuts. It's nuts. Yeah. And I like watching it. I'm like, that can't have been the joke. What kind nuts. It's nuts. Yeah. And like watching it,

I'm like, that can't have been the joke. What kind of an insane joke is that? But for better or worse, Honda and Ryu are then buddies for the rest of the movie. Yeah. Which is crazy.

He took it to heart. He was like, oh, well, we are brothers. But I'll also say like, this is another thing the movie is smart about. That's it for Fei Long. That's it for Dhalsim. It's just like, we are brothers. But I'll also say, like, this is another thing the movie is smart about. That's it for Faye Long. That's it for Dhalsim.

It's just like, here you go, here's a little cameo from a character, like, we're gonna get all the Super Street Fighter characters in there, T-Hawk's gonna be in there,

DJ's gonna be in there, we're gonna get them all into the movie, but we're not gonna spend a lot of time with them. We're just gonna acknowledge their existence instead of being like,

what is it in the fucking Street Fighter movie? It's like, it's like Balrog is part of the camera crew and E. Honda is like a reporter or something. It's so fucking complicated to try to rationalize their inclusion instead of like, hey, here's a fight that's taking place with this character. All right, you saw him. We're done we throughout the this animated film the main sort of dramatic tension that that isn't the the the you know singular like finger on the nose plot which is bison wants to get reused so that he can create the great assassin is this um musing that

both ryu and ken have about their childhood where they trained together under their sensei. And in the- Their off-camera sensei. In the American dub, that sensei's like, you know, focus on your fist. What do you see behind your fist? But in, again, shock of shocks, in the Japanese version, that guy's voice is like

it's a very comedic character it's really strange it's wild like you don't it doesn't i was again it felt like the movie was reverse dubbed that to me is like, maybe they were like, when American audience is never going to buy that, like somebody goofy taught them something. And they're like, cause just the way that like people in America, like value,

like not like the military, but like things like that. Yeah. Tough. Yeah. Toughness. Yeah. Like a goofy old man,

like Yoda, like figure is like a trope in like anime. And in like Western stuff. Yes. You know, like Yoda is Yoda. Sure. So if you're going to say, yeah, we're all on the same page. We're on the same page.

Yeah. But yeah, that's an interesting swap. I wonder that the sensei being off camera, you see him like from indoor that he He's in the closed doors of his dojo or whatever. Do you think that was a Capcom thing of we don't want to depict this character because we might have him planned for a future game or something like that? I wonder if that's what was happening. I bet it was. Because when you do finally meet him in Street Fighter 4, the dude is a thug. Like he is so muscly and so big and so imposing.

And clearly not the guy making a voice that's like a little gremlin inside a popcorn. So you cut back and forth between Ryu and Ken and they're remembering their training. You cut back and forth between Ryu and Ken and they're remembering their training. And then you cut to Ken driving as an adult. He's driving his girlfriend somewhere in his Porsche. Before the divorce. And he says, well, I think this scene being canonical really informs why Ken is divorced in Street Fighter 6. Because he's just driving and he's like, hey, you want to get married? Like, without even looking at her, it's like, you want to get married?

And also just blasting like, flies in the Vaseline, we are what's real and what's for sale. So she's like, what's this? You've never talked about this. And he's like, I don't know. I'm just thinking about stuff. She's like, okay. Then bafflingly, he drops her off at her house. And is like, all right, see you later.

It's like how you'd establish that a boyfriend character is like a piece of shit in a horror movie. Like, oh, he honks his horn to tell his girlfriend that he's here. He's basically Paul Rudd in Wet Hot American Summer. He's like, you smell like a burger. I don't like you anymore. So then he drives into the city to fight somebody, right? Yeah. And that's when he fights

T-Hawk in a warehouse. Yeah. And it's you know, baffling. Yeah. It's just a baffling sequence. And what? Oh. No, no, no, no.

That's much earlier. This is when he gets kidnapped by Bison. Yes, that's right. Yes, yes, yes. I'm slightly out of order. He drops off Eliza. Yeah, you maybe first see him when he's fighting T-Hawk. Yeah.

Maybe that's where it starts, yeah. Yeah. So he's ambushed by Bison. Bison captures him by, like you using a reflect move like ken throws a fireball and bison deflects it right back at ken and ken gets fucking decimated by his own Uh, Guile is hunting down Bison and, uh, Sagat is like, you see Bison and Sagat's like, come on, man, you gotta let me fight for you. You gotta look at my chest. You gotta let me do this. You have to.

Please let me do this, dude. I'm huge. And Bison's like, no, I'm going to, I'm going to brainwash Ken to do it. And Bison's like, no, I'm going to brainwash Ken to do it. And is subjecting Ken to psycho powers to brainwash him, which involves both seeing his own memories and also like mid-90s screensavers, like spheres on a screen, just like gray balls that morph and then shatter. balls that morph and then shatter yeah and like they'll shatter and this must have been the height of technology in the early 90s because it's ken screams when it happens like it's the scariest thing he's ever seen i kind of love it just the marriage of like really well executed 2d animation and then just like really janky early like 3d it's just like it's it's it's just such a specific time uh yeah you just time stamps it so specifically i i mean i saw that and was like i don't know this looks kind

of good that's the thing it like it also looks cool it's like well art directed it's just sort of it's just the 3d looks kind of crude like it stands out because it's old but like like it gets more grace because i'm like oh for the for the time, that's actually pretty. It looks pretty good. Yeah. Guile and Chun-Li join forces and they're like, they find out about the cyborg plot and they're like, we got a Warren DJ. Which is, again, I think I think it's smart that the movie uses the Super Street Fighter characters in particular in very limited doses. Yeah.

Sort of like, here you go. But when you look back on those layers, wait, what? DJ just disappeared. Why did they have to go tell DJ? It's not like that's called back of DJ sees a cyborg later and is like, oh shit, you know, or comes to save them

because he knows about the cyborgs. He's like, thanks. Bye. See ya. That night, Chun-Li goes to her place in New York, and this is where the fight with Vega, a.k.a. the Claw, happens, a.k.a. Balrog, and it's a fucking great, great fight. Really good. It's really desperate.

Like, Chun-Li takes her aforementioned shower, she gets out, notices, like, a slight vibration in her like furniture, just like a trembling in her furniture and immediately is in the fight of her life against Vega. Yeah. And this fight is played like what if the girl in Psycho could fight back? Yes. like what if the girl in Psycho could fight back? Yes.

Like she's never, she never is truly got the upper hand, but she's also not a victim in it. It's an excellent boy-girl fight in a movie. She wins. Yeah, she does win. She gets badly wounded, but she wins.

Yeah, she wins in part because she throws a couch at him at one point. Yeah. Which is awesome. She gets like knocked onto the couch and he's like takes off his mask and he's like, oh, I cannot wait to skin you alive. It is my favorite thing to do. And enraged, she picks up a sofa and throws it at him before stomping on his face. Yeah.

And then like kicks him through a wall and he like looks like heping on his face. Yeah. And then, like, kicks him through a wall, and he, like, looks like he falls to his death. Yeah. But then at one point, too, he, like, licks blood off of his... Blade? Off of his blade. And the movement they gave his tongue was shocking. Yeah.

We should... You just mentioned the blood, and obviously, as you might infer from the nudity that was mentioned this is like a pg-13 to almost r-rated movie it's not like you know like a ninja scroll level of blood it's not like like super like fountains of blood but there's a good amount of blood in this move in this movie in the dub they say fuck i'm serious yeah i was pretty surprised by like the language there's a part later on um where um oh shit what's his name the e honda and m bison and um they're all at the airplane yeah yeah they're fighting yeah they're fighting outside

of an airplane and like he's just E. Honda's like really had it. He's fucking so sick of M. Bison. He's like, all right, I gotta kill this guy or I'm gonna kill myself. I just, that's so funny. He's like so fucking mad. I wish that was one of the, like the post-match taunts in Street Fighter 2. Yeah, I'm that was one of the, like, the post-match taunts in Street Fighter 2.

I'm gonna kill you before I kill myself. Then we, after she barely beats the claw, Guile shows up. He doesn't rescue her. It's kind of fucking cool.

She, like, holds her own. Yeah. Her final move is doing her flash kick, like, just annihilating vega knocking him through the wall and then she falls into a coma from how badly she's been like like she's had the shit kicked out of her in this sequence she comes to her wounds yeah and then we cut to ryu climbing a mountain yeah and it's so long. It takes him so long to climb this mountain. You see a wide shot and there's a little house

on the mountain and you're like, oh shit. This is how he goes to home every day as he climbs this fucking mountain. And then fucking Honda's just there. And it's like, how did Honda get up there? They have the Dominic Toretto travel plan. Because those characters

in the Fast and Furious movies just are wherever they need to be at any given time. And they're just like, well, how'd they get there? I mean, they drive really fast. I like that maybe the script is written like, okay, who are we going to book? Yeah. Well, like, Honda and Dulcim are like

a cool visual... They have two totally different styles. We'll book those guys. Oh, Zangief has a fight. Zangief's going to fight against, who does he? Blanca. Yeah, he fights against Blanca.

It's like a Vegas show. Yeah. And at one point, Zangief points to the rafters where the boxer is watching and the boxer gets so mad that he flexes his muscles and his shirt rips open.

Yeah. But you see all these different pairs of booking. And at some point they were like, you know what? We should also have Honda fight the boxer. Like we should have him fight

M. Bison slash Balrog. And oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. So in order to orchestrate this, you need to have Honda and Guile and Ryu

and Ken and Bison all at the same location for the finale. Right? Oh, yeah. Honda and Balrog or M. Bison,

whatever the fuck, the boxer, their fight is like four hits and then they fall off the mountain. Yes. Guile fights against Bison and just gets his ass handed to him. Like, it looks like Bison may have paralyzed him at the end of the fight. Right. And then won't even give him the dignity of killing him which guile is like no come back i'm not finished with you please yeah fight it's really desperate and then ken and ryu fight against each other uh ken brainwashed and ryu like being like

ken come on and in the dub he's got like a weird sort of new york accent yeah for this fight yeah because he's so like intense about it eventually ken comes to and he's like we got to fight this guy together but his legs won't work because he's been brainwashed and then like hit against a tree by bison i love when a good guy gets brainwashed by the bad guy yeah it's one of my favorite things. It's always so funny. It's good. Because you know they're not going to stay that way, that they're going to snap out of it and be like, oh, I'm sorry, or you know, whatever.

It's always good. I love it. That's what happened to me. Oh. Are you currently brainwashed? I mean, I could say something kind of like actual, like, yeah, I was an innocent kid who was eventually brainwashed by the lutheran church oh yes yes yeah and then uh came back into my power that's true yeah take that take that lutherans lutherans martin luther fucking spitting in his grave yeah bad bad person yeah bad person didn't know it growing up bad person. Yeah. Bad person. Didn't know it growing up. Bad person. No.

So, Ken has to focus on his breath. He hears the voice of his master being like, What do you say? I'm right here. Yes. And then he joins Ryu in the fight. They pull off a move that I think they don't do again until like Marvel versus Capcom, where the two of them throw a fireball together. Yes.

Yeah. In order to beat Bison. Like Ghostbusters crossing the streams. But it's a really good fight. Also, it's a lot of fucking like really stylish two on one action where Bison, of course, holds his own for most of it. And also a lot of shots of they really love his like hover jump. They use that a lot. And like the way, you know, his boots just like lifting off the ground and levitating a few inches off of the earth

yep all looks great um we did we did it i know i know we're on the other side of it but just just to go back to the himalayas real quick there's like a moment there's like a line that uh bison slash vegas says that i really liked which is that like i'm sending my cyborgs to the himalayas it's like a dr evil aspect to say it's so funny you're sending your cyborgs to the himalayas i'm sending my cyborgs to the himalayas so uh everybody joins back up chun-li's okay guiles guiles okay uh the united states military blows up bison's uh you know base yeah uh and um yeah but very very pro u.s military intervention yeah this movie they couldn't have done it without them yeah so i wonder it's kind of have we're like low-key conservative Japanese politics behind it. Ryu and Ken say their goodbyes.

Ken gets back into the Porsche with his girlfriend, Eliza, who's driving. Nice touch. I liked it. I liked it. And then Ryu's like, I'm going to start my journey. And he goes to head down the road. But then a semi shows up. We're laughing. This movie fucking rules.

The ending fucking rips. It's so good. But a semi shows up on an American road, driven by bison, and Ryu leaps toward the truck to fight the truck, and then he cut to black. Yeah. It rocks. It says, like, there's some text. I don't know if it's in the dub version, but it just says, like, teaser. And that's the end of the movie.

Like, they're going to make, make like a Street Fighter 2 2. But they did make an animated series after this. Yeah, Street Fighter 2 V, which is no good. That's a bummer. No good. But they do really amplify the sexual tension between Ken and Ryu in that show. Like those two get real close to kissing. Also, this movie introduces so many things that

are then incorporated in Capcom games, like the field where Sagat and Ryu fight in becomes a stage in a later game. Oh, wow, that's cool. The Ryu's headband being canonically Ken's hair tie.

I love that. Usually when I'm like, here's how this thing that you didn't really ever need explained is explained like Han Solo's name. Usually when that happens a prequel, I'm like, all right, come on. But that happening here, I was like, oh, this feels earned. This is nice. It felt really nice. Evil Ken becomes a playable character in later games. So does Evil Ryu in alternate realities where Bison wins.

It's not just a an animated movie it's like an official capcom production it feels like like the star wars comics yes will stay say stuff about star wars and then it'll be like referenced in the mandalorian in the same way this is like official are there any other heather like official. Are there any other, Heather, do you know, are there any other movies or anime that begin with the Capcom logo? Because that's like, I saw that and I was like, oh, wow. It was pretty cool. They play a little sound thing. I would assume that Monster Hunter movies start with a Capcom logo. That makes sense.

But I'm not sure. I also loved, I mean, it's such such a small like not even really part of it detail but uh in the street fighter logo you know like where it'll say like super behind the word street fighter yeah but here it says movie and i love that really good uh yeah this rocks but oh i wanted to go back to this super street fighter 2v the animated show bad yeah street fighter v street fighter 5 bad what do they have in common the v great point kind of interesting and you know what they got rid of the roman numeral v for street fighter 6 is just the number 6 yeah that's true they true. They had it in four. Yeah.

And that was good. It was an exception that proves the rule. Did the Resident Evil movies start with the Capcom logo? I don't think so. I don't remember. There's no way. Because they're not even the same thing. So that's Street Fighter II, the movie, the animated movie movie i'm so glad we watched it yeah it's i'm i the relief i felt when it was like we're not going to watch the live action one we're going

to watch the animated one and then i was like oh my god i might even own it that was so nice such a good feeling and on the blu-ray I was able to switch back and forth between the dub and the subtitled version. That's nice. And it was, I was like, God, I remember this scene. So the one scene I think that has a better feeling in the Japanese version

is when Chun-Li and Vega are fighting. Chun-Li goes and turns on like the radio, which is a very fancy radio. And she's listening to like a full, like an acoustic folk song. And that fight listening to like a like an acoustic folk song and that fight being underscored with an acoustic folk song is pretty excellent

whereas I think in the you know the American version it's like some random KMFDM song or something wake me up wake me up inside I think this movie is fucking Wake me up inside. Can't wake up. I think this movie is fucking great. I thought it's super fun.

Absolutely delivers on the promise of the premise of the IP. I think that if you haven't seen this like me, I think it's on Prime. I watched it on Crunchyroll. It's streaming on some services. Check it out. It's like an hour 40. it's super fun and it looks great very fun um probably one of the better movies we've watched here for the podcast yeah

i think so it was great it was so much fun it's a very entertaining yeah if you if you like street fighter it's a great movie yeah like if you're like oh i've spent my whole life liking street fighter and what's this there There's an animated movie? Okay, sure. It's also just refreshing to watch a video game adaptation that is just exactly the same thing. That's good. They didn't

try to explain away something. Ryu, you're such a professional businessman. Yes, I am. Have you ever considered fighting? Fighting? What's that? Yeah, exactly.

What's Bison doing over at Bison Corp? You want me to join this fight, and I'm a businessman. What are you, like I'm some kind of street fighter? I got to get into my hot rod. Oh, it's Steve Guile. I can't fully commit to the name for some reason. yeah oh it's steve guile like they just like can't fully commit to the name for some reason the m and bison stands for mean because it's bad i i had you know it's it's i like i was thinking back this was making me think back on my initial

exposure to street fighter 2 the property which was like talking to kids at school before i actually played it like i read about an egGM and then I eventually got a cabinet. We got to, or didn't get a cabinet, but got to play a cabinet at the arcade. But I remember talking to kids about this game and like, there wasn't like a pronunciation guide. So like kids were just saying names however they thought they were supposed to be said. Yeah. And she told me this.

Yeah. So like there me this. Yeah. So, like, there was a kid at school who was convinced that Guile's name, and I knew that Guile was a word, so I thought it was Guile. But he was like, no, man, it's Gilly. I called him Gilly. It's just like, and there's no way to win that fight. No. You can't just be like, no, it's supposed to be Guile.

It's like, uh-uh. You can't point to any source to refute him at that point in time you can't argue with a stupid kid who thinks they're right but if you had right but in this age you could like point to a youtube video or something you say like hey here you go here's that's happening here's this streamer saying this name this way so like you have some evidence but that didn't exist yeah the internet was not as we know it yeah this is dr disrespect saying that yes yeah i've i've shown you guys the footage of me at like the 1993 street fighter tournament yeah yeah when we talked about uh street fighter 3 yeah oh god what a joy fucking like those are good times did i ever show you the documentary i made about that same arcade i don't

think so i should show you that wow i made a documentary in the 90s about that same arcade? I don't think so. I should show you that. Wow. I made a documentary in the 90s about that arcade. We'll cover it on... Oh, no. The game was better. Oh, God. How about a segment, guys? You ready for a segment? Let's do a segment.

Segment! Whoa, that's really good. How is it taking us this long to do that? That's excellent. Fucking great. This is a new segment, and it was suggested by Joltz in the Discord. They get played.

Discord.gg slash get played. I'm going to name a game and Nick and Heather must guess how much storage space it takes up without going over. It's time for The Size is Right. I'm going to be bad at this. I'll try.

I'm going to be bad at this. I'll try. Here we go. I'm going to say... So I have a list of games right here, and the platforms are four, and you guys just have to say what the size of the game is. Here we go.

Here's the first one. God of War Ragnarok. For PS5. Because there are size differences depending on the platform so i'm just saying the platform for a reason uh beep beep 75 gigabytes okay interesting uh i was i'm not gonna i'm i'm not gonna do like a one kilobyte here uh even though i think it's under, I'm going to try to make my best guess. I'm going to say 64 gigabytes. Heather is closest. Wow.

84 gigabytes. That's a big boy. That's a big boy. It's a chonker. Yeah. God of War Ragnarok, 84 gigabytes for the PlayStation 5. For the PlayStation 4, it's a little different. I think it's more.

Wow. Here's the next one. So Heather has one point. That's right. Super. Here's the next one. So Heather has one point. That's right. Super Mario Odyssey for the Nintendo Switch. I think this is a little bit more slender. I'm going to say seven gigs. Four gigs.

Heather's closest without going over yet again. 5.7 gigabytes yeah come in and spin the wheel or whatever god I want nothing more than spin that wheel here we go Elden Ring for PS5 I feel like I encountered this recently Here we go. Elden Ring for PS5.

I feel like I encountered this recently because I was looking at what I got installed. 59 gigabytes. It says 59. I'm going to say 61. You're both over. Oh. Wow. The answer for Elden Ring on PS5.

44.47 gigabytes. So much game in a relative paucity of gigabytes. It's really interesting, right? Yeah. I was kind of surprised that it's kind of small compared to just for what it is. My experience with development is over 10 years ago. But the things that take up a lot of space are, and compression has changed, but it's art assets. It's things like video. It's art assets.

It's things like video. It could just be that there's a lot more FMV in something like Ragnarok that just takes up more space. It could just be that. Yeah. Audio can take up a fair amount. But I think compression has advanced so much further and also has uncompressing things in real time and streaming things in so hmm it's interesting pretty interesting here's the next one Metal Gear Solid 3

Snake Eater for the Playstation 2 Metal Gear Solid Snake Eater what a thrill oh there we go oh yeah we're crossing IP here. What the fuck?

What's going on? This is the GSN universe. Crossing IP just like he crossed the picket lines. So. Just Ken Jennings. Not the ghost of Alex Trebek. Here we go. Here we go.

Alex honored the picket line. I'm going to guess 900 megabytes. Interesting. Interesting. How big was this fucking game? It's on a DVD. Yeah. It was on a DVD.

This is another one. 3.1 gigs. Okay. Heather is closest without going over. Nick, you barely just went over. I'm so fucking pissed. 2.89 gigabytes. God damn it.

But think about Snake Eater, though, too. Isn't that interesting? There's so much in there. It's a big game. It's big. I feel like it really stretched that DVD. Yeah, it stretched it. But, you know, like in the Metal Gear games, a lot of those...

Metal Gear? Metal Gear? A lot of those cinematics are, like, in-engine. Yeah. So it's like, that's not, you know, again, not going to take up as much space as some... That's true. ...old FMVs. But you also have footage of, like, actual World War I.

Yeah, that's true. Yeah. Yeah, like, yeah. Okay. war one yeah that's true yeah like yeah um okay heather's in the lead three to zero oof that's that's hard can i give can i give nick one of my bones i don't want your fucking charity points okay heather has two yes and nick has one all right i don't want it. Nick has zero and Heather has two. Floating point. Heather's back at three. Just for, just for, just because it's on, we're all talking about it still.

Yeah. This will be the final one. Okay. The Legend of Zelda, Tears of the Kingdom. This game's not as big as some other games of its scope no again it's like it's like the elden ring thing and it's also because it's on fucking switch um is it 10 gigs 19 gigs nick gets a point it is 16 gigs the elden ring for nintendo. So much game in there. 16 gigs. So much game. Well, I mean, they save a lot of space by just having Link go,

Yeah. Looks bad. It doesn't work. But that's the size is right. Shout out to Joltz yet again. And if you'd like to suggest a segment, maybe I'd pick it.

get animated heather we're watching a very fun series that is new to me and matt it is the mid-2000s mega hit the melancholy of harhi suzumiya if you liked anime in the mid 2000s this anime was everywhere but if you're new to anime you can watch along as we view the show in broadcast order which we have written so much about. There's a chart on our Twitter. It's like posted on the Discord. It's a very strange order. Non-linear, non-chronological viewing of the show as they originally broadcast it. But yeah, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya is on Patreon.com slash Get Played.

That's Patreon.com slash Get Played. Or later on Stitcher Premium. If you haven't, if you're not familiar with this show and you've never seen it before, I heartily recommend it. Whether you listen to the podcast or not, you can find it on Crunchyroll.

It's just such a fascinating piece of media. It's really entertaining. It's genuinely funny. So yeah, check that out. But watch it in broadcast order. Watch it in broadcast order. Watch it in broadcast order. You gotta.

You gotta. You have to. It's the law. It's supposed to be. And guys, maybe, maybe only Nick got played this week. Oh.
