i guess? i've only played LoL, and it hasn't ever sucked me in the way fighting games have.
can I add you on league
sure, though i don't play that much and when i do it's usually with my immediate friends.
What is your favorite board game?
board game? more like bored game amiritei don't really like board games, except Scrabble, which is basically like a turn-based Starcraft or thereabouts IMO.
Seems like a neat idea! I'm all for people getting paid to create educational materials for fighting games... it's a cause that's rather near and dear to my heart. ;) I watched the Chipp video they did for Guilty Bits and it seemed pretty useful as a high-level overview.
It's alright, Asian families are hella racist anyway, I come from one.
So do I, and my family is pretty cool about that shit.When people of color are racist to each other, no one wins. Except white folks, I guess.
What's your opinion on Chris Matrix anime style japanese commentary?
i had to google this to find out what it was.seems to me to be intended as a loving parody of japanese commentator speech patterns, and i thought it was kind of funny to see how much he got "right" considering he doesn't actually know what they're saying.i always hate hearing people do their imitation-Asian ching-chongy stuff, because it's one of those things where the humor comes mostly from just pointing out how different Asian languages sound compared to English. so many bad things happen to Asian people in this country because we're considered perpetual foreigners, and jokes like these kind of normalize that.
What's something random about you that people don't know?
i was an insufferable Apple fanboy from about 4th grade through sophomore year of high school -- basically, when Apple was at its absolute lowest. some people have bands they were embarrassed to like; me, i was the worst kind of computer nerd. getting into anime and fighting games was actually a step up in the world for me.
Boxers.Hilariously enough, I asked Steve Jobs this question when I was a punk ass kid checking out the grand opening of the first Apple Store. That cringe-inducing video probably still lives on a hard drive somewhere.
Can I have a hug?
yeah, totally! i could use one myself, as a matter of fact.
Pancakes are godlike. I have a huge soft spot in my heart (and stomach) for shitty fluffy pancakes doused in cheap syrup and butter (think Denny's unlimited pancakes). Frozen waffles are OK though.
who do you use in Street Fighter?
Ryu pretty much exclusively these days.
u ever see someone get knocked out in an arcade?
nope! i saw a guy pick up a CVS2 cabinet once, out of salt, and once he realized what he was doing he put it down somewhat gently. never seen any fights, though -- i mostly went to UC Berkeley's arcade, and we never had that many brawlers there.
If you were told to pick a wrestler to be put into Street Fighter 5, who would it be?
I've never been that into wrestling. I always thought Antonio Inoki needed a fighting game counterpart though.
When will you do an in depth interview with our lord, Teamspooky? Or do you not do interviews? I've seen some of your work, mostly articles. Maybe you don't do interviews.
I was doing mostly interviews, but since I started working at Riot I haven't been doing much for SRK myself. It's certainly on my to do list though.
do you agree with Chris G who says that winning EVO doesn't mean anything?
Hell no. Evo is our world championships, especially for Marvel. What it *doesn't* mean is that you're the all-time greatest. In MMA and boxing, you're not REALLY considered a capital-C Champion until you've defended your title; I think it's the same thing with Evo.
YOU..yes you, you're at a bar, there is a karaoke stage and suddenly you are being pushed on stage.. What song do you sing your heart out to and expose yourself?
The world is ending, there are hoards of zombies littering the streets, you are in an apt complex that is being over run. Any minute you will be attacked your only weapon is what is to your right. What is it, and what will you use it for? What are your chances of survival?
