A reminder that the composer, Koichi Sugiyama, is a hard nationalist that has publicly denied Japanese war crimes committed during World War II. This has really soured my perception of the series, and I know I’m not the only one.

Or one with posts debating if Smash is a fighting game or not.

And all you get are dumb kids who poorly recite old racist jokes they heard in the playground.

Don’t forget his batshit insane religious works.

It’s still a bad game made by an asshole. That’s not going to change.

I knew I seen all those shots before...

In this game, you can ejaculate on people and all they will do is briefly complain and then go on like nothing happened. However, if you touch a bottle of booze the resident meathead will cave your skull in.

Most of that was due to rising costs of chips at the time. You can see why most of the industry embraced optical storage in the following generation. CDs are hell of a lot cheaper to produce and print compared to PCBs.

Yes, fighting games are great.

Well, it’s a lot more impressive when you end up getting a headshot on a 4-time CPL world champion.

It would be remiss to not mention that Fire Pro was originally created by the late Masato Masuda, who was the designer and programmer of the original Pro Wrestling on the NES. Every Fire Pro title is a direct descendant of that game, which I consider to still be one of the best wrestling games ever made.

There already is dirty fanart of Marina.

Looks like someone wants Katamari Damacy on Steam.

He. Just. Does. Not. Get. It.

Look at this and see how many are about Melee:

He’s much stronger with short subjects than he is with feature-length productions. This is good.

Forgot one:

I’d only award someone who would manage to harm themselves in the process. Knuckles and forehead bleeding, possible bits of glass stuck in the skin, knees bruised from breaking things over them... give the prize to whoever looks like they just took part in a Japanese pro wrestling deathmatch.
