I'll sue on a street.

Alright, players, ready?

You hit me really hard!

Ow!

Come!

Get up off the ground!

Ow!

It hurts!

Come on, man!

This is street fight!

No, you're gonna hit me again.

Ow!

That's right, I'm gonna fucking hit you again.

Come on, it's a real street fight!

Oh, I didn't think you were serious, ow.

why'd you come out here to fight me?

No, I didn't think we were just posturing.

Wow.

Are you crying?

Yeah.

You sound like a cat.

Oh, yeah.

I'm sad.

I'm hurt.

What?

This is a trick, isn't it?

Huh?

Yeah, I'm gonna ask if you're alright.

I'm gonna get over there.

I'm gonna get close.

No.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You look really hurt.

I'm gonna get over there.

I'm gonna punch you hurt.

You're gonna kick my knees out from under.

I'm not, because then you might hit me again.

Ow.

Time.

Heather wins.

Round two.

No!

Fight!

No!

No, I don't want to do round two!

We overcome psycho-powers with bromance and take a lengthy, erotic shower as we discuss Street Fighter 2, the animated movie, this week on Get Played!

I live in this

play

Welcome to Get Get Played, your voice house show.

Oh, no.

Can you imagine if that was how the show is going to be?

Try to 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 Apodaka.

Hello, everyone.

Hello, everyone, and welcome back to Get Played, the premiere 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.

Is that shave 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 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, Axe.

No, I'm looking at it right now.

It upticked by one versus last week.

So this is

specifically targeted at you, that individual responsible for that.

We sort of have like a...

You know, like in movies where there's like an 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.

Strangeloves style, 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 the pandemic, right?

When

you were miserable, yeah, when we

can't keep track of time.

I'm asking you what day it is.

I think 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 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 going to 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 the Hangout episode.

And then we were like, well, this is easier and more fun.

Yes.

And more sustainable.

We'll just do this.

And then we'll actually

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 VI came out for home consoles and PC.

That's right.

Did it come out for PC?

I don't know.

Yeah, yeah, it's not PC now.

Street Fighter VI,

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

to lackluster approval.

And time came only bafflement.

People were just so confused by Street Fighter 3.

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 an Akuma shirt.

That's really cool.

Yeah.

I would be dressed like Dudley if I was a boxer.

Great look for you.

You could absolutely pull that off.

You think I could?

I think we could sort of apart down the middle, but like

greased down.

I'll do it.

Look at that mustache going.

Yeah.

These blue boxing gloves.

But yeah,

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.

He's such a funny character.

We're talking about Street Fighter adjacent stuff because Street Fighter VI 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 26th.

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 like retro games and game-themed bars and who knows what's out there in the greater world.

Yeah.

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 get played.

We're doing a lot of table setting.

And guess what dinner's almost ready

you know what we're having soup

because we love it it's fucking great

any soup updates before we keep going everybody i'll tell you what is curry a soup yeah

it's absolutely not no

there it is there it is

it's 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 think you can just call it 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.

You can't forget about him.

Sounds like Heather forgot.

I did.

What 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, 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-action one, Raoul Julia's final performance.

I just don't think an episode of about Street Fighter the movie can be topped after the incredible, How Did This Get Made episode about Street Fighter?

That's right.

That's an all-timer.

And also, I think there was an element of like, we don't want to torment ourselves unnecessarily.

Because that movie is dog shit.

It's really bad.

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 is it?

Is something wrong?

And I went, no,

we're just going 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 listening no it's also it's it's just it's well-trodden territory everybody's everybody's heard about it yeah but the but the and not to get too far ahead of ourselves but like for instance the Super Mario Bros movie the live-action one that's like a fascinating watch yeah 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 that'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 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 these guys talk about anime in a pretty cool way you should listen to our sister podcast get anime that's right there's sometimes we'll talk slash get played sometimes we'll talk about soup there too you never know where we'll talk about soup

we we talk about soup all the time.

It's coffee soup.

Okay.

So that's closer than curry is, I think, but I think still no.

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.

Coffee is sort of like...

Coffee, no.

Coffee is more like Coca-Cola.

And nobody would be like, oh, Coca-Cola is a soup.

Or 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, if, 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.

Yeah.

Uh, 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 my god, it's Deckard Kane from Diablo.

Wow!

What the fuck?

Another

June 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 place.

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 Herodric Cube.

I tell you, you put three potions in the Herodric 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

part of Diablo's Legion.

I mean, I think

I don't think they could call the game Lilith.

I think people would be like, oh, it's a Diablo game.

Hey,

Decard, was it?

Yes, Decard Cane.

Decorred Cane.

I've got a question for you.

Is ketchup,

is ketchup a kind of curry?

Is ketchup curry?

No, no, it's not.

It's a soup, maybe, but it's cladacling.

It's curry.

Coca-Cola.

Ketchup?

No, ketchup is close 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

I'm 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, Descartes Kane.

Are you related to Fraser?

Distinctly.

His last name is Craig.

Yeah, so if you 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 tell you guys, speaking of ancestry, about what I found out about my last name for real?

Side tangent.

Your great-grandpa is a can of soup?

No.

I found out, and this, this baffles me, completely baffles me.

So

have done a lot of research, some genealogy.

Have I really not told you guys this?

I think so.

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 ancestor was concerned about the brand.

I

like my whole family, like we've done like, oh,

the Campbell clan and like 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 23 in me.

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 Kane?

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, so all that money goes to fund the fight against Diablo.

I see, I see.

I didn't realize that this was

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.

It's very

charitable.

Is this part of this episode that this guy just dropped by to tell us to do micro training?

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?

How do I buy it?

Just

look into the online store okay it's integrated into the game so it's it's it's you can't miss it uh well deckard um

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 gotta say well nick first of all you miss deckard cane i know and i'm such a huge diablo fan

Of the three of us, it goes you, then me, then a chair, then a chair, uh-huh, 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 left, 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 into the bowl.

He 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,

I don't know.

I popped 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.

Yeah, sweetie.

I'll just turn it up.

I'll turn it up.

Maybe the maybe it'll get to a point soon.

Do you guys notice that the room is slowly filling with gas?

Deckard asked before he left.

Okay.

I'm

still.

It's time for Fortnite news.

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.

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 and not a big, not a huge fan.

The season ends.

Sound like Jay Jonah Jameson over here.

Give me those Spider-Man hands.

That's the right guy, right?

Yeah, okay, great.

Perfect.

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.

Yeah.

You gotta.

I love Miles.

Also, for the first time in my whole life, I found I received a spoiler about like an October Fortnite thing that I can't show.

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, wow, 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,

it's a it's a 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 like generic

wait the he's a player character yeah that's the name of the generic character model jonesy yeah jonesy yeah

No, Jonesy didn't tell me.

Okay.

Was it the banana?

It was the the banana.

Well, 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.

The blood, 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.

No one's done with Tears of the Kingdom.

All right, Heather's not playing Tears of the Kingdom.

I got the Master Sword sword and i stopped playing heather played the game you know what can only be described as an absolutely insane way

wait everybody i quote i'm just running towards things i think i can kill and i kill it

then i have i i know i've said it on get animated but i don't think i've said it here got the master sword yeah before i got binoculars yes i don't know what i'm doing in the game you have the paragliders yeah i did i did get the paraglider which was necessary to get the master sword.

No spoilers.

I think you just need it

in order to do half of the shit on the island.

That's, I mean, it's, I want the master sword because 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?

Like combat and not getting killed.

And I have like 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 get I want to get

I want to talk about this lightly and not like spoiling things.

Obviously like there's stuff in the game that like still people are like discovering on their own.

But when you complete the temples, uh, the, or, you know, when you, uh, uh, when you explore the

environmental phenomena, the what?

That's what, like, one of the main quests is on the map.

It's like, that's the, that's what they want you to do.

Like, oh, go explore why the, the Rito village is snowy or why, uh, you know, there's, why the Goron village is, um, everyone's all weird there now

because they're 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, you've all done the

wind temple.

Yeah, that was a really fun boss fight, I thought.

Like maybe like an all-time boss fight to me, honestly.

Like I was like, that was, 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 did have, I had enough arrows, but you don't necessarily need arrows to make that happen.

You can dive to, it has, 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 because there's all these like frozen ponds that you

go to a high elevation and then you smash down through.

That's I'm fucking dumb, so I was just like, oh, I 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 like put wrap your body around it and just scream at top speed towards those enemy points yeah and you go through the glass and the weak point all in a single motion okay yeah i liked i of the boss fights that i've done so far in of of that quest

uh i think that one is still my favorite of the three that i've done uh i didn't love the boss fight for um

the

the water temple or whatever the what are they called uh you know king uh prince sidon yes I can't remember what.

Zora?

Yeah, the Zora, 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 you go in that one.

I found that one to be quite difficult.

But once you clear those, you get...

In the same way that you would get

an ability after completing a

divine beast temple where you get like Rivali's Gale or whatever, you get like an ability

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 because I think it would just be fun to have 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.

Tolin.

Right.

Gusto is

going to call him.

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?

Well,

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, they're like with you as a squad.

Yes.

You have to go up to them.

That does get frustrating actually.

So like you'll have, 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.

Sholin is going to be in the air.

That's going to be easier for using the gust.

But if you're on the ground, you know,

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.

Because

they are

alive somewhere in the world, but their apparitions are following you

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 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.

God.

And

that person unleashes the powers that you have whenever whenever they're required.

But you don't have to be cognizant of that 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 me hanging out with them.

Well, they probably don't have you specifically.

They probably have somebody they like 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.

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,

That would be wonderful.

I love that.

But, I mean, all that to say, I'm playing this game still.

I'm really loving it.

I think I'm like 60 hours in.

I've definitely crossed over the 60 hour point at this point, somewhere between 60 and 80 now, I would say.

But

that's it.

I'll be playing this for a while.

And now it, with now 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 a, you know, again, this is an FMV game.

It is following one actress and her career as she acts in three different movies across

three three different decades.

She's in a movie in the 60s and the 70s, and then she falls off the mat for a bit and she returns and she has a movie in the 90s.

And what you're basically doing is going through the raw footage from each of these films.

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 know, you're using editing software.

So it'll be like just one character's coverage or, you know, like 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 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 70s sort of crime drama that's also got elements of like, you know, the pop art scene.

And then there's a movie called Two of Everything, which is kind of like a little bit of a Prince in the Pauper sort of, you know,

two people switching identities involving a pop star and is very much in kind of like the 90s

musics world.

One thing that I think is really cool, and this is, this, this, 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,

you know, he's clearly changed roles and they're now, 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 in a non-linear fashion, because basically what you'll 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 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 it like her story it never really spoon feeds for you what the story is.

All 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 that it also 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 mouse and keyboard.

I also think that 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 on the footage, some other figures who aren't actually in the scene or 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 it is clunkily sort of

maybe that's because it's kind of clunkily implemented.

And so, I like 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 didn't, wasn't sure what was happening.

I wasn't sure if I could just figure, couldn't 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 of change.

And I couldn't figure out how to progress.

I would like figure out, I'm trying to like literally fucking everything to try to get something to queue up.

I end up like searching for it.

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, but then your 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 are other endings and stuff, but it was just kind of one of those things like, ah, God, I wish this had been fucking patched out by this point.

So anyway, overall, a really cool game.

I think a really interesting,

you know, 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, you know, maybe some people played it, have 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 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 i don't know 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 uh you absolutely should have your mom play that if she loves her story she'll she'll totally like that oh it's on netflix if you have interesting uh the mobile app or on the ipad you can you can play it so i think uh 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 gonna you know she's not gonna like that

my son told me to play this game

I'm going to be grounded.

My mom is about to finish octopath travel.

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.

Yeah.

I could ask my mom.

She should do a mom check-in.

When's the last time you talked to her?

She's, I'm waiting for her to recruit 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.

This is an absolutely true story.

One time I was in Japan and I had my cell phone with me, but I was

following somebody around in the city and having a good time.

And then they locked me on a roof of a skyscraper because they were a crazy person.

That's a true story.

And my cell phone didn't have wireless access.

So this next ad is specifically something that I could have used in the past.

Because if I'd had Wi-Fi, I could have called somebody, but instead I had no cell phone service trapped on a roof in Tokyo.

That's S-A-I-L-Y dot com slash get played i eventually got off that roof uh when the sun rose

uh we've got a really fun uh thing to talk about today our our main topic is street fighter 2 the movie the animated movie uh which uh 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 II revision of the Street Fighter II 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 II, a massive fucking hit.

Then there was Street Fighter II Championship Edition, in which you, the player, could then play as the bosses.

Then there was Street Fighter II Turbo, which sped up the entire game.

Then Super Street Fighter II, which introduced even more playable characters.

And then finally, Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo.

So

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 Street Fighter 2, the animated movie, before,

I think before, before the live-action

film starring Jacques Lan Vidam.

Yes.

Well, that's the thing.

And

I'll just say it now.

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 i have it transcribed coming in spring 1995 jean-claude van dam rao julia street fighter directed by stephen e d'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 to release a good version of a Street Fighter movie, but it's not.

It came out first, which I was shocked by.

It came out first.

It was announced at the Ryogoku Kokujikan,

which was a Street Fighter II turbo tournament held at that location on August 19th, 1993.

This film

wasn't just like a like a minor film.

This was 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, it sold 500,000 copies 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

was so, I loved it so much.

Like, it's extremely well choreographed.

I actually, it's okay.

So, here on the Wikipedia page, it says the fight sequences of the film were choreographed by K1 founder Kazuyoshi Ishii.

K1 is like a mixed martial art promotion in Japan, and professional fighter Andy, I'm gonna say Hugue, Hug, Andy Hug,

who

was

like a professional kickboxer who died very suddenly of leukemia, but was extremely famous in Japan.

um

the film is like you watch it because you are like what are the fights gonna look like yes and the fights in this movie fucking rule they look great this is this is what i was gonna say is this

it's 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

what do you want in it see ken's hog see ken's hog i want to see ken's hog well to nick's point too it like starts and immediately fucking rules

like listening like so you know is the the the fight with uh sagat like you have you know the lore of sagat has the the 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 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 like that one, it's like they're all, there's so many fucking characters, and they all are like part, like, have kind of important like roles in the story,

uh, 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 then and Vega, aka M Bison.

Yeah,

I

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.

Like, Ryu is the guy who does, like, especially in the Super Street Fighter.

game.

Yeah.

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,

you know, wooden flutes.

Right.

And.

you're waiting for your table at P.F.

Chang's.

Yeah, like, like, nebulous Asian sound.

And when it doesn't have that sound, it has KM FDM,

corn, Alice in Chains, and Silver Chair doing the fucking music.

I was fucking pounding my fists.

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.

I only watched the subtitle version.

I just kind of found the music generally kind of unremarkable.

Yeah.

But

I didn't have a big problem with it, but that's fascinating to hear.

And you know that I'm always going to be like, oh, the original mode's better.

Not this fucking time, man.

Yeah.

I do want to comment on something about the

Western versus the Japanese versions.

Because I've never, I don't, and this is probably well-trodden territory.

I just, 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.

Ballrog is known as M Bison in Japan.

It's a three-way swap basically to get over being sued for calling the Mike Tyson-like boxer M Bison.

Oh.

So they were like, so yeah,

he was M.

Bison.

It's easier to put in your keep in your head if you think of it that way.

This is also why in the international, like, pro-fighting, pro-street fighting game world,

because you don't know what audience you're talking to, they have been

like their identities are dictator, boxer, and claw.

Yeah.

Like, that, it's like, who are we fighting?

I'm fighting as claw.

So that

so that you don't confuse the listener.

It sucks because I, look, I know he's a bad guy.

M.

Bison's my guy.

I love M.

Bison.

You mean Vega?

Well, yeah.

You mean Dictator?

No, not Ballrock either.

Yeah, no, yeah.

Dictator.

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.

But they always bring that guy back.

I hope so.

Because

I love him.

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, like

terrifying psychopath

that like climbs on a wall and uses a claw and protects his face.

Like Vega feels like, oh no.

Yeah, that one fits really well.

Yeah.

Like I don't look at that guy and be like, oh, that's Balrog.

Like, no.

I'm like, oh, he's got a, he's got to have like a Bishonen name, like a Vega.

But yeah, so I, this was my first watch 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 Blu-ray from 2015 or 2016?

And I'll tell you, it's basically two shots of Chunley's boobies.

Hell yeah.

Full frontal Chunley's boobies.

Hell yeah.

Nipples out, nudie in the shower, Chunley's boobies.

That scene is so prolonged.

They really take their time with it.

She got clean.

Yeah, she gets clean as hell.

But like, you're seeing a lot from the back, and you're seeing, like, like, like, like, you know, you're seeing, uh, you're seeing a lot of butt, you're seeing a lot of side boob.

And so when the shot of her just like fucking tatties out, like from the front comes, you're like, oh, wow, they went for it.

Yeah.

Like, I thought they were just going to like tease out.

Like, oh, yeah, here you go.

Then they're just like, nope, there you go.

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

like how long it takes.

Like while she's showering, you cut to 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.

It like really builds like a horror movie.

But we've jumped ahead.

Let's start from the beginning.

We got a scene where Sagat and Ryu are fighting.

And while they are fighting, we see digital

scans of their bodies because we are finding out later that a cyborg is watching them fight to deduce who's the strongest.

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 could see them fighting.

That dude Ryu is really strong.

You should recruit him.

But instead, 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 3,600, which is like a key plot thing.

I guess, yeah, I guess it is.

That's just in anime.

Like, power has a number, like, and everybody knows the number.

Um,

so after, after this scene, we see a, uh,

an assassination by Cammie.

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 Cami in a, 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, Cami 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.

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 having seen this movie before, I thought she was going to demask him.

Because I was like, oh, 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, he's like, okay, she's going to 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.

Cause canonically, Cammy has been brainwashed by Bison or dictator.

And so that, that's what she does.

She gets, she gets arrested and you cut to Chun Lee.

who we know from the games is an Interpol agent, right?

And she's like, hey, we got something serious is going on.

There's a, there's an assassination plot and like a group of terrorists headed by the international dictator M.

Bison.

And she is in her dolly, like bright blue dolly dress

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 Cami in her garb.

Here's Chun Li in her garb.

This is just what, this is just what this is going to be.

But yeah, it's nonsense.

It's nonsense.

So she's like, we got to involve the U.S.

military.

And we cut to Guil on a fucking military base.

And he's like,

he's out 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.

So

Chun Chunley's like, hey, uh,

why don't we team up?

And Guy's like, no, I work alone.

And she's like, well, you know, Bison killed my dad.

So like, I, I want to, I want to do this.

And he's like, no, I only work alone.

Uh, we, we go to

the Shadow Lou or Shadow Law base.

Uh, Bison's got his, like, four bosses with him, his three bosses, Balrock, 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.

It's going to be the same.

Like, you don't even bother to wear a shirt.

Put a shirt on.

Fucking disgusting.

Nasty.

You don't want to wear that thing.

Fucking dash.

It's one thing you got fucked up, but now you're gross.

So it's like, we're going to send out like a bunch of robots to find Ryu because he beat the shit out of you cigar.

Yeah, I get it.

And then we see Ryu's journey.

And Ryu's going all over the world looking for a good fight.

Right?

He fights Fay 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, or they can't find him on set and he goes in and he parts, he jumps into this after Ryu.

Like, it's also weird because 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 here.

You're fucking huge.

Get over here.

But they also say, like, this asshole is mumbling about the fight, which is funny to think of Ryu's character where he's just like, man, that move sucks.

I could do that better.

No way this guy's got 3,600 power.

But then Fey Long, 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 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 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 Gisoburo Suguyi, who has like, like, I don't, not super familiar with his work, but if you look at his, 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'd been working in anime for like 30 years or something by that point.

So is just like clearly just a total craftsman.

And yeah, and I also think just like that,

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, fucking Feelong's over here.

He's hunger movie.

He goes in Splunsport and then they fight.

They're just trying to get things through as quickly as possible so they can spend time in 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.

From

he, Ryu beats Feilong, and there's a really great moment afterwards where Feilong's like, yeah, there's this group of terrorists who's like,

you know, going after our people and like, I don't know.

And Ryu'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, Ryu just like walks away down like another road.

Feelong like looks at him and is like, well, I guess that guy's a real fighter.

Something like that's great.

Feelong in this world is like a legit movie star.

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 Ihonda's like, here, just take half my money for some reason.

Which, in the dub, by the way.

So, first off, let me let's get to that.

Yeah, he shows up in Calcutta and he's watching Dolceem and I Honda fight.

And it's just like a regular street fight between two dudes who are 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 seem because it's like he doesn't he does a little bit of stretching, but it's not as exaggerated as it is 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.

He's more does it get in like his movement kind of

not really like, yeah, it's not exaggerated to be like a video game

or unnatural.

It's just more like he is, 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 to the ground.

And Honda in the dub is like, no, don't see right there.

But in basically in the same exact thing, he says in Japanese,

but then an assassin shows up and like shoots somebody and is running towards the car to get away.

And

the car opens fire on him.

He's like, 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

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

um

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 got to take half of my winnings because if it hadn't been for you, I wouldn't have won that fight.

We Japanese Japanese have to stick together.

Yes.

Cause we're brothers.

There is a version of there is something akin to we Japanese have to stick together or 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 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 Faye Long.

That's it for Dal Seem.

It's just like, here you go.

Here's a little, here's a little cameo from a character.

Like, we're going to get all the Super Street Fighter characters in there.

T-Hawk's going to be in there.

DJ is going to be in there.

We're going to get them all into the movie, but we're not going to spend a lot of time with them.

We're just going to acknowledge their existence instead of being like,

what is it in the fucking Street Fighter movie?

It's like, it's like

Balrog is is part of

the camera crew for like the like and like E Honda's like a reporter or something.

It's so fucking complicated to try to rationalize their inclusion instead of like, hey, here's a here's a fight that's taking place with this character.

All right,

you saw him, we're done.

Throughout the this animated film, the main sort of dramatic tension that isn't the

singular

like finger on the nose plot, which is Bison wants to get Ryu so that he can create the great assassin, is this

musing that both Ryu and Ken have about their childhood, where they trained together under their

sensei.

And in the off-camera sensei.

In the American dub, that sensei is 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, focus on the fish.

What do you see?

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.

But that to me is like, maybe they were like, an American audience is never going to buy that, like, somebody goofy taught them something.

And they're like,

because just the way that, like,

people in America like value, like, not like the military, but like things like that.

Yeah, Yeah, toughness.

Yeah, toughness.

But like a goo, yeah, like a goofy old man, like a Yoda-like figure is like a trope in like anime.

And in

like Western stuff, like it's, you know, like

Yoda is Yoda.

Sure.

So if you're going to say,

yeah, we, we're all the same stage.

We're on the same stage.

Yeah.

But yeah, it's, that's an interesting swap.

I wonder that the, the, the sensei being off camera, you see him like from indoor, that he's in like the closed doors of, of his dojo or whatever.

Is it like, do you think that was a Capcom thing of like, we don't want to sit, 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 in Side of Popcorn.

So you cut back and forth between Ryu and Ken and they're like, oh, 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 City.

Because he's just just driving and he's like, hey, you want to get married?

Like, without even looking at her.

He's like, you want to get married?

And also just blasting like, flies in the Vaseline to y'all.

What's real and what's for sale?

So

she's like, what's this tree?

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 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 movie, like a horror movie.

Like, oh, he honks his horn to tell his girlfriend that he's here.

He's basically Paul Rudd in Wed Hot American Summer.

You smell like a burger I don't like anymore.

So, uh,

so

then he goes, like, he drives into the city to like fight somebody, right?

And that's when he fights T-Hawk in a warehouse.

warehouse yeah and it's you know

baffling yeah it's just a baffling sequence um

and uh what oh uh

no no no no that's much earlier then then he this is when he fight if he gets kidnapped by bison Yes, is yes.

Yes, yeah, yes.

I'm slightly out of order.

He drops off Eliza.

Yeah, you want me to maybe first see him when he's fighting T-Hawk.

Maybe that's where it starts.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So

he's ambushed by Bison.

Bison captures him

by like

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 fireball.

So then

Guile is hunting down Bison

and

Sagat Sagat is like, you see Bison, and Sagat's like, come on, man.

You got to let me fight for you.

You got to look at my chest.

You got to 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 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.

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 just such a specific time.

it just time stamps it so specifically

i mean i saw that and was like i don't know this looks kind of good

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 crazy like it stands out because it's old but like

like it gets more grace because i'm like oh for the time that's actually pretty it looks pretty good yeah

guile and chun lee join forces and they're like they find out about the cyborg plot and they're like we gotta warn dj

Which is, again, I think it's smart that the movie uses the Super Street Fighter characters in particular in very limited doses.

It's sort of like, here you go.

But like, when you look back on his layers, like,

wait, what?

Like,

DJ just disappeared.

So, like, why did they have to go tell DJ?

Is it like that?

Like, come, that's like called back of like DJ sees a cyborg later.

He's like, oh, shit, you know, or comes to save them because he knows about the cyborgs.

He's like, thanks.

Yeah.

Bye.

See ya.

That night, Chun Li goes to her place in New York, and this is where the fight with Vega, aka 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 get, could fight back?

Yeah.

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.

Yes.

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 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 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 the language.

There's a part later on

where, oh shit, what's his name?

The Ihonda and M Bison, and they're all at the airplane.

Yeah, yeah, they're fighting.

Yeah, they're fighting outside of an airplane.

And like, he's just I 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.

That's

He's like so fucking mad.

I wish that was one of the like the post-match taunts in Street Fighter 2.

I'm going to kill you before I kill myself.

Then we,

after she barely beats

the claw,

Guil shows up.

He doesn't rescue her.

It's kind of fucking cool.

She like holds her own.

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 succumbs 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 and you 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, they have like the Dominic Toreto like travel plan.

Because like those characters in the Fast and Furious movies just are wherever they need to be at any given time.

And there's like, well, how'd they get there?

Like, 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 Dulcime are like a cool visual,

like they have two totally different styles.

We'll book those guys.

Yeah.

Oh, Zangief has a fight.

Zangieef's going to fight against

Blanca.

Oh, 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 like 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.

Ken brainwashed and Ryu

being like, Ken, come on.

And in the dub, he's got like a weird sort of New York accent for this fight 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.

And then, yeah, and then came back into my power.

That's true, yeah.

Take that.

Take that, Lutherans.

Lutherans.

Martin Luther fucking spitting in his grave.

Yeah.

Fucking enable this theses to the fucking wall.

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,

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

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.

Yeah.

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.

We did it.

I know we're on the other side of it, but just to go back to the Himalayas real quick, there's like a moment, there's like a line that 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 asset to say, it's so funny.

You're sending your cyborgs to the Himalayas.

I'm sending my cyborgs to the Himalayas.

So, everybody joins back up.

Chunley's okay.

Guiles okay.

The United States military blows up Bison's,

you know,

base.

Yeah.

And

yeah, very, very pro-U.S.

military intervention in this movie.

They couldn't have done it without him.

Yeah.

So I wonder, it's kind of have we're like low-key conservative Japanese politics behind it of like, you know.

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 ripped ending fucking rips.

It's so good.

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 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,

it gets off the sea.

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 like hair tie.

So, that's

that.

I love that.

Usually, when I'm like, here's how this thing that you didn't really ever need explained is explained, like Johan 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.

Yeah.

Evil Ken becomes a playable character in later games.

So does Evil Ryu in alternate realities where Bison wins.

It's not just an animated movie.

It's like an official Capcom production.

It feels like the Star Wars comics will 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, do you know, are there any other movies or anime that begin with the Capcom logo?

Because that's like, I was like, I saw that.

I was like, oh, wow.

Okay.

It was pretty cool.

I don't know.

I want to play a little sale soundsting.

I would assume.

that Monster Hunter movies start with the Capcom logo.

Yeah, that makes sense.

But I'm not sure.

I also loved, I mean, it's such a small, like, not even really part of it detail, but

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 this.

That's really good.

Yeah, this rocks.

But oh, I wanted to go back to this.

Street Fighter 2 V, the animated show, bad.

Yeah.

Street Fighter V, Street Fighter V,

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 had it in four.

Yeah.

And that was good.

It was an exception that proves the rule.

Do 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 2, the movie, the animated 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, 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 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 KM FDM song or something.

Wake me up, wake me up inside.

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, like, if you haven't seen this, like me, it's on, you know, 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.

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 movie.

Yeah, if you 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's like an animated movie?

Okay.

It was also just refreshing to watch like a video game adaptation that is just...

exactly the same thing.

Like that's

good.

Like they didn't like try to like explain away something or like

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?

Yeah.

And I'm a businessman.

Like I'm some kind of street fighter.

I got to get into my hot rod.

Oh, it's Steve Guile.

Can't fully commit to the name for some reason.

The M and M Bison stands for mean because he's bad.

Mean Bison.

I had, you know, it's, it's, I like, was thinking back, 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 it in the EGM, and then I eventually got a cabinet,

or didn't get a cabinet, but got to play a cabinet in the arcade.

But I remember talking to kids about this game, and like

we did, there wasn't like a pronunciation guide.

So, like, kids were just saying names however they thought they were supposed to be said.

Steve told 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, nah, man, it's Gilly.

I like,

called him Gilly.

It's just like, and there's no way to win that fight.

You can't just be like, no, it's supposed to be Giles.

Like, nuh-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 could say like, hey, here you go.

Here's this happening.

Here's this streamer saying 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 shown you guys the footage of me at like the 1993 Street Fighter tournaments.

Yeah, when we talked about Street Fighter 3, yeah.

Oh, God.

What such a 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 arcade.

We'll cover it on

the game was better.

How about a segment, guys?

You ready for a segment?

Let's do a segment.

Segment.

Whoa, that's really good.

How has it taken us this long to do that?

That's excellent.

That's fucking great.

This is a new segment, and it was suggested by Joltz in the Discord.

The get played Discord, 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.

Here we go.

I'm going to say here.

So I have a list of games right here, and the platforms are for, and you guys 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 saying the platform for a reason.

Beep, beep, beep, 75 gigabytes.

Okay, interesting.

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 gonna try to make my best guess.

I'm gonna 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 Mario Odyssey for the Nintendo Switch.

I think

this is a little bit more slender.

I'm going to say 7 gigs.

4 gigs.

Heather's closest without going over yet again.

5.7 gigabytes.

Yeah, come and spin the wheel or whatever.

God, I want nothing more than spin that wheel.

It'd be so fun.

Yeah.

Here we go.

Elden Ring for PS5.

I feel like I encountered this recently because I was looking at 59 gigabytes.

59 gigabytes.

It says 59.

I'm going to say, hmm,

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?

Like, I was kind of surprised that it's like kind of small compared to

just for what it is.

My experience with development is, you know, over 10 years ago.

So, you know, but

the things that tend to that take up a lot of space are, and, you know, compression has

changed, but like, it's like, you know, it's, it's,

uh,

it's art assets.

It's like things like, like, video.

Like, it, it could just be that there's a lot more like FMV in something like Ragnarok that just like takes up more space.

Like, it could, it could just be that.

Yeah.

Um, audio can take up a fair amount,

but I think compression has advanced so much further.

And also has like, you know, like uncompressing things in real time and streaming things in.

So

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.

PlayStation 2.

Oh, there we go.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, we chill.

We're crossing IP here.

What the fuck?

What's going on?

This is the GSN universe.

Yeah.

Crossing IP, just like he crossed the picket lines.

Just Ken Jennings.

Not the ghost of Alex Sherbag.

Here we go.

Here we go.

Here we go.

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.

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.

I think.

I feel like it really stretched that DVD.

Yeah.

Well, stretched it.

They did, but it means, 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.

So it's like, that's not, you know, again, not going to take up as much space as some

old FMBs.

But you also have footage of like actual World War I.

Yeah, that's true.

Yeah, like, yeah.

Okay.

Heather's in the lead three to zero.

Oof.

That's.

That's hard.

Can I give Nick one of my books?

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.

The Legend of Zelda, Tears of the Kingdom.

This game's not as big as some other games of its scope.

No.

Again, Again, it's like the Elden Ring thing, and it's also because it's on fucking Switch.

Is it 10 gigs?

19 gigs.

Nick gets a point.

It is 16 gigs.

Woo!

The Elden Ring for Nintendo Switch.

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, you know,

looks bad and doesn't work.

But that's, that's

the size is right.

Shout out to Jolts yet again.

And if you'd like to suggest a segment, maybe I pick it.

Send it to the Discord, discord.gg slash get played in the

in the suggestion box channel.

You know, it'd be fun to like to throw in some retro games with this.

Yes.

Because like there's some fucking,

it's amazing how small games from like the this the even the 16-bet era were.

I mean, I have, I had two more that I was like, just for time, didn't do.

You want to guess

Pokemon Gold and Silver?

That one's kind of interesting.

Pokemon Gold and Silver

128K.

I'm going to guess.

I'm going to guess

900 KB.

Next to close it without going over.

710 KB.

Wow.

Pretty nice.

And then the final one that I had was Super Mario 64.

1.5 megabytes.

How big were those cartridges?

Because they were megabit cartridges, right?

I think it's less.

Heather, what was your guess?

1.5 megabytes.

That might be more than that.

I'm going to go 15 megabytes.

Heather's closest, 8 megabytes.

Wow.

Incredible.

God.

Really interesting stuff, though.

Hell yes, Alex.

Thank you.

That was perfect.

But that was the sizes right.

I'm going to play as my coffin lowers into the earth.

No, that's going to be like the,

I can't even think of a positive song.

The joke was people are going to be excited.

Baby elephant.

They're going to actually just drop you in.

But yeah, that was the sizes right.

Thanks a lot, Jolts.

And that was this week's Get Played.

Our Engineering is by Alex Gonzalez, Dead Air Alex G on Twitter and Instagram.

And also, as Heather was talking about, we got Get Animated, where we watched Street Fighter 2, the animated movie on this episode of Played.

But on

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 Harui 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 Harahe 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, if you're not familiar with the show, 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.

Watch it in broadcast.

Watch it in broadcasting.

You gotta.

You gotta.

You have to.

It's the law.

It's supposed to be.

And guys,

maybe

only Nick got played this week.

Oh!

Oh, wait, watch out for that subway truck.
