  Speaker 1: Welcome to press play, where we're going through the less
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: instellar history of video game movies. I'm Drew Shulman, and
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: with me is my beef cheek bro Jason Wynn. Now,
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: whether you're watching along or playing along, it's time to
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: press play. I think it goes on saying we're both
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: familiar with Street Fighter as a game. I'm curious to
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: know how familiar you are with it.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I have not played a lot of Street Fighter
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: in my life. I think I'm I think my household
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: is just a Mortal Kombat household, which we will get
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: into in later.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: Is that like the saga Nintendo Split? Are you a
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: street Fighter or a Mortal Kombat one hundred percent?
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, which is unfortunate if I'm being honest, because I
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: do like the Street Fighter world. I think like the aesthetics.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: I think the legacy that like Street Fighter has left
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: the world in general is just so much like cooler
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: to me. But the game mechanics and just the availability.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: There's only six main Street Fighter games. I don't know
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: if you knew that.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but like I feel like they've re released everyone,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: like even like looking up this movie, I had a
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: moment where I was like, oh, some of these characters
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: aren't in Street Fighter Too, which it says it's based
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: off of, and it's because one of them was only
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: in Street Fighter to Turbo addition, Whoa, and then the
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: other characters and the other character who will get to
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: in a bit later, is just totally made up for
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: this movie.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: Which in the cast of Street Fighter feels unnecessary to do.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: Exactly like you you like change the background of certain
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: characters in ways that like I mean, I'm just gonna
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: say it's e Honda is Japanese in the games and
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: here they're like he's Hawaiian. You're like, you know what,
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: I'm weirdly okay with this because it's still like spreading
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: diversity and it's still like logical that there'd be suma
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: wrestlers from Hawaii where Japanese culture is huge because of
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: like the history. So like, weirdly okay with that one
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: for once of like weirdly like reverse whitewashing one of
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: your characters to a better extent.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: Absolutely, yeah, they have dallism in this There's a couple
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: of characters in this movie that I didn't really eyes
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: were characters. So the fact that they went no, no, no, no,
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: let's add more shit to this crazy Batchit movie.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, speaking of Batcheit, we will talk about Blankele later.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: So for me, I'm that weirdo where there's a third
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: there's like four fighting games in my life that like
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: matter and in order of least important to most important.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: Street Fighters at the bottom, okay, and it's Mortal Kombat,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: uh huh. And then I'm a soul caliber guy.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: Wow a deep cut. I was like that big that's
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: that's that's Coca Cola and pepsi you're putting.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: Up out there. Yeah. No, I'm a I'm a I'm
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: an RC I'm an arc Cola guy, it turns out,
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: But secretly it's because my number one, the one that
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: matters the most to me is Capcovers a street Fighter.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: Which wait, Marvel versus capcom That's what I meant?
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: What did I say? Okay?
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: I was like or a Boris snake eating snake, but yes,
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: which is basically street Fighter. If do you think because
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: of this movie, street Fighter is not big girl? Like,
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: that's kind of crazy to say because everyone knows street Fighter,
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: everyone knows chun Lee, everyone knows Rio as characters. But
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: I do feel like maybe this is biased, but I
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: do feel like Mortal Kombat has been more recent or
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: has more installments and is more in the zeitgeist. And
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: do you feel like it's because of this movie?
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: So I've always said I think the reason Mortal Kombat
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: got more of its popularity early on was because of
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: kind of the like violence in video games is like
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: it was like the first real game where like, ooh,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: there's so much blood and violence. Yeah, like Street Fighter.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: I don't think there's blood and Street Fighter at least
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: in the first field you ever seen you in bleed,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: So like having that level of like one was like
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: the edgy team, like, oh, look at how gruesome and
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: bloody these graphics are. And also I think the characters
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: in Mortal Kombat were just like slightly more memorable, like
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: really like when you break down the Street Fighter cast,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: it's literally two martial artists in different color geeze, a
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: sumo wrestler, a soldier, a female soldier, and a female
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: fighter of some sort of Asian descent who I could
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: not tell you off top my head. Chinese. Yeah, yeah, okay,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: I wasn't sure if it was a specific like background.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: It wasn't, but like none of them really like, we're like,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: none of them had the scorpion get over here appeal
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: that like Mortal Kombat.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: I see what you're saying. Now, I see what you're saying.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So I think it'll be fun, especially that our
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: next movie is spoiler Mortal Kombat. It'll be fun to
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: have these two back to back.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: Weirdly, Oh, I'm super excited. Yeah, yeah, so, I mean,
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: speaking of the movie, shall I recap it for us
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: real quick? Please do so.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: In this fictional Southeast Asian nation of Shadowloo in place
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: of Vietnam, a civil war occurs between the forces of
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: General m Bison and the Allied Nations led by Colonel
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: William F. Guile. He is the most American army guy
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: to ever be American, played by the French just actor
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: available at the time. M Bison has taken several innocent
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: workers hostage, as well as Gile's best friend, and via
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: a live broadcast on TV. Somehow he demands Dials secured
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: twenty million dollars in ransom for these people in three days.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Of course, Gile refuses that was to track down Bison
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: and plays Montreal for his crime, which he doesn't. He
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: kills him. Spoiler but Gile isn't the only one gunning
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: to take down Bison. Yeah, I'm curious. How does this
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: differ from the games?
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, what an interesting, interesting film. So there's a couple
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: of differences low wise and again for some reason, I
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: haven't played a lot of Street Fighter, but I know
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: a bit about the lord here. Shadowloo generally speaking, is
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: the organization. It's like the evil organization that all the
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: bad guys more or less get into. And the main
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: differences are the occupations of the good guys, because it's
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: too far fetched to have martial artists running around to
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: martial arts tournaments for the sake of marshal arts tournaments
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: and fighting for the sake of fighting exactly.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: It needs to be complicated because reasons.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I will say, as a bit of a
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: spoiler into our conversation about the movie, I find the
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: plot charming, which is an adjective I use a lot
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: in this show, but I find it charming because they
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: really they really worked like from reverse, they really worked
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: backwards here they went, Okay, how do we get normal
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: quote unquote people which is a huge asterisk, especially six
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: minutes into this movie, But how do we get them
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: into their com like their video game accurate I must
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: said comic book accurate costumes, because this movie plays like
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: a campy comic book movie. They are quite faithful overall
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: to the source material.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: I do feel that is something I will say like
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: for as much Street Fighter as I have played, mostly
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: through Marvel versus Capcom, Yeah, there is like every character
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: was immediately recognizable, with the exception of like maybe one
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: but I just don't know that character. Yeah.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: I feel like Street Fighter was an interesting one because
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: unlike the Mortal Kombat games, they that the plot doesn't
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: matter as much the Mortal Kombat once like several layers
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: of time travel and so and so forth. It is
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: basically the gist of this movie, which is some good
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: guys who have no relation to each other all have
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: ties and connections to the big bad guys. So they
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: team up and maybe make relationships with one another to
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: fight evil, crazy organization. That's what it boils down to. Yeah,
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: And speaking of video game lore and the history of
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: Street Fighter, if you've been living on the rock, if
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: you go, yeah, I know a chun Lee, I know
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: or Reu, but you don't know necessarily what the Street
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: Fighter games are about. Here's my video game recap please
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: so introduced to arcades in nineteen eighty seven, Street Fighter
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: had you control the protagonist Reu with an option for
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: a secondary player of Ken Masters is Bro enemy for
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: his friend of me from America, a real double dragon
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: situation if you will listen to that episode of press play.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: But after a failed attempt in a beat them Up
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: sequel which is now known as Final Fight the video
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: game series, they went and changed it all up, flipped
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: the script, changed the world in nineteen ninety one with
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: Street Fighter two, the very first game to feature one
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: oh one fight system with different characters with get this,
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: different fighting styles, all of which had like maybe thirty
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: playable combos that were unique to them. So, needless to say,
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: Street Fighter is an absolute staple. It is stuck around.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: It's Capcom's second most popular series after Resident Evil and
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: has contributed to over a billion dollars in arcade cabinet
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: sales alone, and Street Fighter two has sold over ten
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: billion dollars by its fucking self, which is insane. Damn Yeah,
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: that's because, asdre mentioned before, there's only six main games.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: Street Fighter six as of recording, came out last year.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: Because it's January twenty twenty five. Now, but I'll just
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: list off some of my favorite street Fighter two remixes
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: street Fighter two, street Fighter two, Champion Edition, street Fighter two, Turbo,
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: Super street Fighter two, street Fighter to Turbos because they
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: did it again. I don't know how. I don't know.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: Street Fighter Alpha two is also street Fighter two or
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: a sequel to Alpha, that's probably what that is. Hyper
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: street Fighter two, like ten years afterwards, and then just
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: in twenty seventeen, Ultra street Fighter two. Those are only
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: the ones that I can suss out. Our street Fighter too.
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: By the way, if you're like, oh, but what about
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: the Marvel versus Capcom Fighting Collection Capcom Fighting Collection two,
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: it has street Fighters too, I don't fucking know. It
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: probably does. It's a lot, It's a lot.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: Oh my god. That is one of my favorite memes.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: Like I think it's like Kingdom Hearts and street Fighter,
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: just like the games where it's like, let's just repackage
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: of the game with new content, but not change the name,
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: just append more things to it.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I do think that which one was. I said,
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: Super street Fighter to Turbo fucking insane.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, oh my god, Hyper, It's like, oh my god,
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: how many adjectives could you add to this?
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I love it. This series has already broken me.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: Play has already broken me three episodes in Yay. I
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: can't tell if I love this or I hate this.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: And I think that's a good place to be because
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: I feel like looking back, like I said, so many
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: of these movies aren't good, but like going back with
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: the intent of, like, let's just give it a chance,
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: let's see what we can glean from this has made
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: them more enjoyable almost.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: And it's the fact that predecessing this. You know, I've
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: seen you know, The Bear, I've seen Chogun. I know,
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: I know what modern cinema is like nowadays, you know.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: But predecessing this, we've seen the Super Mario Bros. Movie
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: and Double Dragon Double Dragon, which I did not know
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: existed until doing this podcast.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, let's keep the let's keep the bar high.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: We're hoping we'll get the movie one day that is
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: as good as The Bear. Okay, So this movie right
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: away starts off with something that I think in the
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: moment feels so out of left field, but like they
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: do explain it away by the end, and that is
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: Chun Lee is just on the scene news correspondent in
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: the middle of a war zone.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, one of the most the if not the
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: most iconic character of the series, straight off the bat
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: reckconning her. But I think I think it's played by
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: but by the way, the amazing Mignah when oh my gosh,
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: I'm familiar voice of Mulan in Marvel in Star Wars.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, she's she's amazing.
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: Uh. But I texted you about what was the what
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: was the time marker? I think I said six minutes
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: and forty secondso and I was like, Drew, this is
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: fucking insane, and I think I'm having fun.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: Everyone go insane, have fun.
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they start off with the made up country of Shadowloo.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: You know it's Gomez Adams as.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: Em I know, what what a get? What a get?
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: He's playing it to the one hundred and tenth degree
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: as well, like if if his like rip. I think
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: he passed away at a very early He passed.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: Away very early stomach cancer. Literally right after filming this movie.
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: He never saw a co Oh wow, I did not know.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: But he plays it. I think he's the best actor and.
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: He plays like almost like a proto like Red Skull
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: before the mcu days. It's the most accurate. The costumes,
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: by the way, in this movie are insane.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, like and I love the fact that I
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: put this in the notes had to make sure it
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: got shared. Is they credit the costume designer who I
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: didn't think they're named, and I apologies, but they are
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: so talented. But then they separately credit A. Marilyn Vance
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: specifically for m Bison's costume, and I just think that
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: it's such a like like it really is. I think
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: beyond him as an actor is the standout piece of
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: this movie. His outfit is everything about him. Even his
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: outfit is so elaborate and perfect it's like it deserves
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: it accurate to it.
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: See. And the weird thing about it too is he's
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: got like he's got goons that are like dressed up
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: as well, and they're pretty good like hydra henchmen kind
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: of looking dudes. But at the same time, this this
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: movie does weird thing where it plays in camp, but
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: it also kind of wanted to plays it seriously. Like
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: Guile's like a military special forces like commander, like protagonist
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: guy in classic of like the eighties early nineties, and
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: m Bison is like this evil dictator guy, but he's
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: got goons, you know. Oh yeah, playing it like a
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: Power Rangers episode, Like you might expect them because they
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: look like they're coming out of Power Rangers episode, but
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: at the same time they kind of do because there's
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: jokes all the time.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: It's such a weird, like they've they've ridden the line
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: of camp so well, and like, had they actually gotten
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: like an American actor to play Guile and like play
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: it the way that he does play it in this movie,
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: it would be too serious, too dry, and too like
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: military propaganda. But the fact they went for Jean Claude
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: van dam who is blatantly not American, doesn't even ride it,
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: is like it makes it feel like a can't be
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: character when it probably wasn't meant to be.
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's a great point. I think that's
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: a great point. There was parts of this movie where
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: I was like, Wow, John Cloud fan damn. I don't
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: like him. I don't like I don't like what he's doing,
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: I don't like his presence. I can see why he
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: didn't make it out of like the eighties as an
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: action star or household name like. But there was other
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: parts where it was like, no, he's doing this exactly
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: how he's supposed to do it. He's supposed to be
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: doing it. There is one part I think you have
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: some notes about this. I have some notes about this.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: But during a newscast, they're interviewing Gile about the situation
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: with m Bison, this evil dictator. What are your thoughts
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: on him?
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: Right?
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: And Bison's watching it live. But then m Bison starts
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: talking to Gile and then they start having like a
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: FaceTime conversation. How it happening through news which listen, I'll
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: suspend disbelief. There's fucking this crazy technology, g I Joe,
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: shit happening. I'll give you FaceTime. But then I was like,
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: wait a minute, So Gile's talking through the TV. If
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: you're just watching like the Channel five fucking news, what's
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: happening here? You're just watching a one way conversation with
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: Gile a talking to him.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: Assume it's the other round. I think everyone's seeing m
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: Bison have a one way conversation and only Byson can
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: hear Guyle, which I think I think is almost even weirder. Yeah, yeah, yeah, no,
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: it's great.
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: And then while he's talking to him, by the way,
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: because again they're like, god, damn it, William F. Gyle whatever,
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: You're the goddamn best at what there is and your
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: sealed Team six and all this other stuff. And then
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: when he talks to m Bison, he does like a
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: he does like an elbow slap. Yes, I'm gonna get you.
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: So he's like a he's like a professional wrestler cutting
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: a promo and he's like, you better watch your ass
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: Saturday night. I'm coming for you. It's like, all right,
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: so what's happening?
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, because then.
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: Not when as Chunnley is playing a straight fucking lace,
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: hard hitting news oh my god, in.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: The fact and like the fact that we reveal it
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: that she's like like, I'm confused. Is she actually a
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: news anchor it was this whole thing fake? Or did
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: she actually get into news work her way up to
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: hopefully get the assignment to be at m Bison's so
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: that she can, you know, like continue her master plan
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: of revenge or exactly where's this whole thing faked? I
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: don't know now.
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: No, no, no, it's it's the second one because they were
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: doing the Dark Night before the Dark fucking Night, all right,
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: she's the joke.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, she's her.
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: Because her plan is because m Bison's like this evil
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: dictator who was ruined people's lives or whatever the fuck,
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: and her her dad was a magistrate, which what that
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: is I don't actually know. I've only ever seen it
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: in old Chinese movies. Is she also from the eighteen hundreds?
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: Is a question that I have. But she goes, Okay,
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: so you killed my father. So I went into news
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: for ten years. For ten years of my life, I
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: devoted to being in the news, so I could what
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: interview you? Like, what's the point? What what's the How
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: does news get you into dictator zone?
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: There?
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Like, I guess it's a
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: really specific career path, like you your like quarterly reviews,
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: like where do you see some of ten years interviewing
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: m Bison, who, by the way, has been at this
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: for twenty years according to the movie.
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: Hell yeah, brother, Yeah, numbers out the window man. Oh yeah,
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: early earlier, I think you said you might have said
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: twenty million dollars is what he was asking for? Ye
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: he was billion billion nineteen Yeah, it was definitely billion
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: back in nineteen ninety.
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: Oh my god. Yeah. I also love the power move
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: that like he's watching this broadcast of Guile based this report,
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: but how evil he is not just like watching it,
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: but has it on like multiple screens around his like
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: evil layer in front of his hostages who are in
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: a pit in the floor of his main office. It's awesome,
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: like it is. It is like Power Rangers level of
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: campy villain like accoutrama and set design for a character
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: who is like I'm basically trying to combine Mussolini and
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: like Hitler into one character for you.
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And I think that's why it's really interesting that
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: you say that too, because that's it's not that much
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: more dumb or sophisticated than what was happening in Street Fighter.
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: If anything, it punched it up like story wise, the details,
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: and then I think, like Street Fighter three, four and
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: five is where you start getting into actual lore bits
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: and stuff with the all the things that I said.
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: But it's it's interesting that as far as accuracy goes,
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: and as far as like keeping close to the source
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: material compared to what we've had before, while as as
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: dumb and campy as it is, it's kind of perfect.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like they were essentially. I think it's that
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: same issue we've seen with the past movies where they're
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: tasked with, like take these characters who are very one
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: dimensional and make them fit in a three dimensional world
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: in a logical way. And while we can make fun
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: of like chun Lee being a reporter, it's like, well,
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: we need an excuse for her to be here. You know,
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: Gyle's easy. It's a war zone. Even like while Ryu
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: and Ken as like illegal gun smugglers who are actually
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: con artists is like a really bizarre poll. I mean,
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: it gets them into the scene.
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, everything everything about this movie in the exposition
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: part I think was all to lead up to the
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: ends where they're like, Okay, well, how do we get
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: Ryu and Ken into like geeze without making it look
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: like they're hokey and dumb. We'll make them dress up
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: as the henchmen. How do we make them be the henchmen?
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: Oh?
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: Because they were double crossing and playing this like and
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: who double crosses smugglers?
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: Four dimensional going on here, And I'm impressed by that.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: I'll give them that much.
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: They even give Chunley like a situation where she might
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: be sexually assaulted by and Bison, and that's all to
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: give her not only her weird skimpy dress that doesn't
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: make any sense for this strong, independent, like female character
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: to be in. But then they even get it down
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: to the fact that like he's kind of into sex
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: slave shit, so she gets her like awesome cuff links things.
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: They're even thinking about that, Oh, I can't tell whether
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: I want to give it props or like maybe we.
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: Don't need the cup links.
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: Maybe that's just you know, like that's fine, like just
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: drop it.
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: Like it really feels like they almost want like too
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: hard in one direction of like, oh, yeah, we got
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: through the bite of the scene. Yeah, but can we
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: get her into that outfit? Yeah? But how do we
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: even get like cuffs on her? Let's just make it
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: a weird bedsm thing for no reason, Okay, Like like
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: even I Honda like losing his shirt because he got
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: like whipped like crazy and it's all ripped up in
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: the backs. When he goes to fight, he just tosses
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: it off, because yeah, you might not otherwise toss your
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: shirt off before a fight, but it makes sense.
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: My otherwise take off his shirt is a crazy thought
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: going into these sets of movies.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: That were about to get into ju true so much
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: that very very valid point. I also just need to
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: There's one very specific moment, and it's when in that
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: like back and forth interview because I'm still there, when
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: Guile like speaks to Bison directly for a second before
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: it's actually establaged that they're talking. The facial expression on
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: Bison is like oh, oh, Like there's like oh, there's
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: like a Tim Curry level of like joy in his
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: face that I could not understand. But it gave me
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: so much joy to see him like perk up in
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: his eyes. It was like almost a little bit of
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: a crush going on, and I love it.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a lot, there's a lot of that energy here.
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: Why I will I will say one of the energies
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: that I was kind of missing is between Rieu and Ken.
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: There are these moments because they're they're they're bro smugglers, right,
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: and if we're being honest, it's a very It's again
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: it's a very double Dragon situation. Coming from the Mayo Bros.
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: To Double Dragon to this, you would think that they'd
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: be very BROI there is one part I'll skip ahead
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: to the later in the movie. There's one part where
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: they're like in the secret organization and there's this there's
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: a map that they need to pay attention to, and
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: Ken goes to re You and he's like, did you
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: get the map? And where He's like, I only got
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: the right side of it, and Ken goes, good, I
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: got the left side, which is like the most broie
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: they ever get in the movie.
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: It's also what a stupid thing. I saw a map,
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: but I only focused on exactly fifty percent of it
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: because I knew I wouldn't.
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: Have time good because I also thought to think of
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: the other half of that fifty percent.
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: We're perfect. It's like part of me is like I
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: want it to be a reference to something, but I
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: know it's not. It's just a really weird line.
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: Like you can you can really give this movie credit
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: and be like, well they've been at it for so
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: long that Reu knows he's the left side and Ken
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: knows he's the right side of all things in their life,
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: you know, or.
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: Something like that.
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: God once, we're not gonna give that movie that much
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: credit because they don't establish that prehand. Ever, And two,
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: I wanted more shit like that, you know, like in
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: both Double Dragon and the Super Mario Brothers movies. I
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: I know it's not just about Reo and Ken, but
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: it kind of is like, there are they not our protector?
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: Is there like six different protagonists.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: That's the weird thing. I think if you had to
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: like pick one our like main character, I guess it's Guile, Yeah,
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: even though I feel like he's probably like the least
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: interesting and like weirdly not present for a chunk of
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: the movie in the middle. Yeah, so I would say
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: that I guess our actual protagonist should be Chun Lee
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: should be. But I think they're trying to make it
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: Ken and Ryu more and more every time, and it's fine.
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: It's fine, Like a lot of characters get pushed off
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: to the side because there's a ton like Bao Rag
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: and e Honda are not going to get the spotlight
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: because they're being honest, they're kind of bit characters and
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: they're kind of and all this other stuff, and that's
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: totally fine with me personally. I think this movie tries
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: to be super low accurate, which is honestly really cool
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: for the Street Fighter fans. I think it does a
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: lot because I think they were writing on the fact
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: that they weren't going to get a second movie, which
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: they did it so They're like, let's just put everything
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: out there all at once. Yeah, I wish I bought
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: Ken and Rio Moore's what I'm trying to say here.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I also need to go into, like again talking
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: about the like weird, like the zany factor of some
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: of these moments. So we've also got this this little
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: like b plot that we don't really touch on. Musch
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: tll the very end, which is Gile's best friend. I
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: think his name is Charles Blanca, who has been kidded
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: Carlos Carlos. Sorry, I think he calls him Charlie at
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: some point too, like it's his nickname. He's just like,
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: fuck it, I need I need to make you sound
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: more American like me. Carlos is too Unamerican for me.
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: For me, John smokes his cigarette, smokes his cigarette, puts
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: his back out, and there's arms. His brain walks off.
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: But we then get so we have him like locked
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: up in this thing where they're just gonna show him
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: like horrible footage to curse his brain and then fill
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: him with just the most gatorade ass looking juices I've
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: ever seen.
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: Anabolic something or other, and then just mutant jeans jeans
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: jeans hang around like the dunes.
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: Like two of each. You know, you have to have
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: a good balance of your mutant jeans and your green
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: your ectoplasm coolers.
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: That's how they Yeah, that's what they inject into him.
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: They they give him the oranges, the new clock treatment.
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: And again it's gotta be because it's a kid's movie.
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: But at the same time, there's a lot of blood
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: and in this movie not as much kung fu fighting
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: as I would have liked.
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, like they really like they cram it all at
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: the end. They're like, the end goal is gonna be
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: the crazy street fighter style fighting, but until then we
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: can do other shit, including guns and murder a.
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: Lot lots of guns and murder man. But yeah, they
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: they they would. It's it's fairly tame. Like in the movie,
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: they're like, oh my god, how how what is this
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: stuff that you're feeding into me? And and Bison being
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: so evil goes this is educational content, is all it is.
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: But he's a real human being. That's why he's fighting
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: against it and reacting this way. But really, truly, maybe
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: it's because we live in twenty twenty five. It's just
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: like historical footage of war.
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: This is Sunday night on TikTok for me. Yeah, dude,
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: that's that's just on TV. I don't know what you mean.
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: The reverse of which, the antidote of which, if you
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: want to talk about this, Drew is of course weddings.
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: Yes, it's weddings, children laughing, and like animals. You know,
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: Martin Luther King, you can't wellkay, of course they show
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: at some point in the initial one when do you see
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: a manga shot in the head and Hitler? So the
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: reverse is people getting married and having children and MLK.
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: So you know what at least they like from an
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: incredibly broad perspective, they know what good is. Yeah, Oh,
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: there's dolphins. There's dolphins. Can't for the dolphins. That was
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: the I knew I was missing one of like it's
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: in my notes, you're somewhere now.
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: This movie, this movie is a really long Power Rangers episode,
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: which I think I would forgive truly. There are some
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: melodramatic moments that that kill the moment that this movie
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: broke for me and I was like, all right. Was
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: pretty early on there's this prison escape scene again Rio
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: and Ken bad guys uh and they escape a prison
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: and shoot our protagonist Gyle, I suppose, I suppose showing
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: they really are bad people, and John Claude van Dam
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: goes down in super slow motion. I've never seen this
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: before in my life. I've watched the Zack Snyder film
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: or two. But good googlely Moogly.
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: This is brutal.
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: And they just treat John Claude van Dam with so
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: much reverence, like.
• 27:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't.
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: It's like I know, there's a close up and I
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: know he's gotta say a quippie thing in it's the
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: early nineties, but good lord, they like fucking they zoom
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: in and pan on it and give him the time
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: of his life to say three words like it's so much,
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: it's so much.
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: It's again, it's like it's the it's the camp factor,
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: it's the we need to make this as dramatic as possible.
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: We need to make sure like you, like you as
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: an audience might not know Gyle's the main character yet,
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: but we're gonna make him air quotes die. He lives, surprised,
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: but like we're gonna make sure you know this is important,
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: that he is dead, and that it's gonna be a
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: critical thing to everyone, and like you know, and Bison
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: finds out and it's disappointed to fight him, you know,
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: like that's a big deal.
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: He does have a recurring bit throughout the movie that
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: is quite good that he like loves the thrill and.
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: The honor of fighting.
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: God, he just Adams. I forgot his real it's Raoul Julia. God,
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: he's so fuck.
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: We Also, I love his first two air quote fights
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: against the other two random soldiers that come up in
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: the hostage situation where it's like a three second tussle
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: and then just net crack. Oh another one neck crack.
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: It's like like just cracking their necks like they're freaking
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: like bottles of coke, just twisting them open.
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's awesome. Also, uh, do you think this
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: is a good time to highlight as well? Throughout and
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: Bison scenes, he's also accompanied by two henchmen yes, uh,
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: known street fighter characters I think Jay and Zangief Zangif Yes, yeah,
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: Zanki being like super well known, very popular, right of course,
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: very very recognizable. Dj I had no fucking clue until
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: the very end.
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, he is up there with Like I it
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: was literally going through like the cast a few times
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: where I was like, which of these are characters versus
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: which ones were made up for the movie, And like,
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: I'll be honest, the fact that DJ was a person
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: of color made me go, he's probably a character and
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: not just some random that's really do you know?
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: What it was for me was this is a black
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: guy with a super long, random ass rat tail. What
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: the fuck is going on there?
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: Oh that is funny. That's gotta be a guy.
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: And so but like it I didn't recognize as TJ.
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: Like I was like, is that DJ? Because this Jamaican
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: accent shows up once in the movie.
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it's so like there was one I like Jamaican,
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: Like did I just not notice it before? Movie doesn't
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: give a ship.
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: It's like, we gotta put TJ in.
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: I guess. I also if we can talk DJ for
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: a second. It's the way it's this last scene with
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: Bison or Bison's like, you know, like I have my
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: good men with me and we'll recoup, we'll find her
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: way and DJ is just like walking aways so funny.
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: DJ's one of the funniest bits in the entire movie.
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: I legitimately laughed, not because this movie is bad, but
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: those the comedic scenes in this movie are legitimately very funny,
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: oddly placed.
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, oh my god, I think it's the it's for
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: the most part, it's m Bison's computer just having these
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: like weird witty one liners. But like even early in
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: the movie when we first meet like Ken and Ryu
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: and they go to like they show up at like whatever,
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: this like shop where they're gonna deal the guns, and
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: it's like, no one can tell us that we have
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: a curfew, and then immediately, with perfect timing, the siren
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: there's a curfew. It's maybe selly, it's like it really
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: like it's like it feels like someone went through it,
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: like after being like we could throw some jokes in here,
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: and like the fact that half the jokes are just
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: like a disembodied voice in the background of the computer.
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: We literally have the guy from Good Morning Vietnam saying
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: good morning Shanalou like they actually got him to come
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: do it. Oh shoot, I did not know that. Yeah,
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: like that to me is hilarious.
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, dude, I this movie is all over the fucking shop.
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: I think speaking of characters, because we did just mention
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: DJ and all that. Yes, I think you have some
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: thoughts about Chun Lee's two buds because there's always two
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: buds in this movie.
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: I don't know why they were again, like it's like,
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: did we need them? Like, I think Chunley could have
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: been solo, but you wanted to bring in other characters.
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: And yeah, I genuinely think one of the better fight
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: scenes in this movie is the Honda versus Zange fight,
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: which is a good fight on its own. It's a
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: good fight on its own and only made funnier by
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: the like editing.
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, sure, yeah, yeah. So so what Drews referring to
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: is chun Lee's camera operators and buddies are both e
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: Honda and bow Rog. For those unfamiliar, e Hondi is
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: a Suma wrestler. He's played by a Hawaiian actor in
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: this movie, and Boo Rog was a like spoof off
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: of Mike Tyson.
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: By the way, the hairline that they gave the actor
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: for bow Rog fucking atrocious. I wrote down, Yeah, I
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: wrote down a note that says great googlely Moogly the
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: hair man. The hairline they gave that man, it's insane.
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: But I Honta and Zangif later on in the movie
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: have a fight where it's just too big men just
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: hug at each other, if I'm being honest, But.
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: We also get the moment where they're having I think
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: there's a moment too in my notes where I refer
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: to there is a character who makes it to the
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: very end, a Japanese gentleman who like he's like when
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: they do the end of the movie final like Street
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: Fighter pose, he's included.
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's covered throughout those scenes as well as a
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: military guy.
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: I think during like when Guile's doing his like speech
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: explaining their attack, he's like the guy who like asks questions.
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: He's like the biggest, Like he's like the other guy
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: who's always talking besides him and Cammi. And even then
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: Hammy's just sort of there as like a set piece.
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: She never really says much in the movie. She's really
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: just like I'm here and I'm your best soldier. I guess.
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: But this guy is not based off a character from
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: Street Fighter. He is like just he's completely made up
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: for this movie. And I don't know what it is
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: about him, but the way his dialogue is done, it
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: sounds like he was dubbed over by an English actor.
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: I absolutely think that he was dumped over.
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: It feels like a Godzilla movie, which I was literally
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: writing in my notes as we cut to the scene
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: of Zangif and Ihonda fighting where they're crushing the fake
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: city the Bison is built, and it looks like a
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: Godzilla movie.
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: They add in the sound effect. It's a Japanese guy
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: who hasn't spoken Japanese in this entire fucking movie suddenly
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: starts speaking Japanese just to add in the layers. I
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: think they even put in the goddamn music.
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: I think it was a Godzilla roar at some point too. Zangi,
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: which is it's just like it's it's awesome. It's pretty
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: fucking funny. That's why it's my favorite scene in the movie.
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: If that stupid fight, it's not a good fight. It's
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: just two men hugging. I was about to say the
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: best fight.
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: But yeah, speaking of the rousing speech that guy puts out,
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: I had notes on that one, Oh Claire, where John
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: Claudevandamn has to speak the most he's spoken, uh in
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: this entire movie. It's abhorrent. I really just I really
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: didn't enjoy myself at all. It's not a good speech.
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: It's not rousing. But then, and I was at work
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: when I was watching the movie, so I'm like, it
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: just person like work while like cutting in between, but
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: as is like as he puts on this rousing speech
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: and it's bad, but the music swelling and so and
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: so forth. You have cuts of like random military men
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: and it's just this one like small guy and he's
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: like this small, chubby guy and he's like smiling and
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: he's like this is great, this is awesome. And I
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: was like, who the fuck is who are these people?
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: So I was like freaking out. And as I was
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: looking through the cast list, I found out who he
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: was and he's the founder of Capcom.
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: I was like, is this little guy? Why? Why's he
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: so happy to be here?
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: He's the founder of Capcom, was the chair and CEO
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: for a while. When you said when you said earlier
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: in the episode and you were like, hey, I think
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: Capcom really enjoyed this movie. I think I fucking know why.
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: I think I understand now that is that is so magical,
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: real tears in his eyes. I can see the tearing
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: up as Yeah, I heard all day. Yeah, And I'm
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: gonna catch myself. This is the most I've cussed in
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: a press play episode because I'm really excited.
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: Good, I approve of this. I love it. Yeah, oh
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: my god. Yeah, the entire like I think everything around
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: Gyle was the most boring crap in this movie, and like, dude,
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: they tried so hard. They give him a fucking stealth ship.
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: Most boring scene in the movie.
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: By the way, stealth works really well when you're just
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: blowing shit up. I don't understand. This is the first
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: movie where I went, oh, there's boring bits. So they've
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: all been bad for their own little reasons. Convoluted doesn't
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: make sense, et cetera, et cetera. This is the first
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: time I've been bored two times, which was the there's
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: this really racist market scene.
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah it was. Yeah, the entire scene just felt like,
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: does anyone know what a market in another country feels like?
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: Or you just making it look like the most racist
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: thing you could build.
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, some real scorpion kingship, Yeah, scorpion king Yeah. But uh,
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: it's it's just again, it's not the unnecessariness of We
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: were introduced earlier to this criminal element in the form
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: of Sigatt, who again quite video game accurate. I both
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: like Segatt and Vega. Yeah, Scott in the games is
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: a mhit Thai specialist. He's not as old as he
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: is in these games, but he's got the eye patch.
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: He's speaking tie I believe in the movie. So that's
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: pretty cool. And then Vega just a sexy spaniard kumsk
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: and sharp clause. That's all I need from him.
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: I need to get into a little bit of the
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: Vega thing, because one, it's our first tease of a
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: fight that doesn't happen. Oh god.
• 36:39
  Speaker 5: Uh.
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: Secondly is when they do bust like guy all like
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: burst through the wall and a tank and arrests everybody.
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: We see the audience is like an age range of
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: like little children to like grandmothers. At the Eagles Street
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: Fighting tournament for some reason, you didn't make a note.
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: And then finally not that. And finally when they get
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: to prison and they're having their prison brawl, Vega has
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: built himself another pair of claws in prison. Yeah, like books.
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: At the end, Yeah, he's like, this is my thing, dude,
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: I can't do anything. I'm like surprised he didn't building
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: a wooden mask to while he was at it.
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: Vega's awesome, That's all I have to say.
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: I do love it. I think he was very well
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: out of this movie. But yet like a close up
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: of one of their tattoos and a custom transitions from
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: one person by showing the tattoo, and it's like the
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: tattoo looks like a third grader druid. It's like super
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: uneven line work.
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: It's like, yeah, again, video game accurate.
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: There you go. It looks like it's PS one graphics.
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but yeah, for some reason, we have to introduce
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: these people and for some reason the bad guys have
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: to team up. That seems boring as shit. I don't
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: even want to talk about it. And then I found
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: personally the entire third act to be inanely boring, like
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: the the third Matrix, just action scene for the entire
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: third act and nothing really happens. This is the first
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: time I started skipping through a movie. I had eight
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: hours to watch this movie at work. I did plenty
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: of work. I could not. I just couldn't stand to
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: let this play in the background. I had to skip
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: through it. Which is really interesting because the Guile versus
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: m Bison fight, I think, does feature some interesting martial
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: arts slash yeah, tricking.
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: It's again, while Gile is the most boring part of
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: the movie. It's a decent fight. It's well done. It's
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: like for its time, decent choreo.
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but I think because the fight, and that's why
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: you get John Claudevan dam by the way, I understand that. Yeah,
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: he probably did a lot of it himself. He is
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: a martial artist by trade.
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: I get it.
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: But maybe because it has no point other than action.
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: For action's sakes. You got military men fucking storming the building,
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: there's electrocutions happening, there's big men fighting as Godzilla. None
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: of it fucking matters, And I just got bored out
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: of my mind.
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: No, I will say Chun Lee's initial combat against Bison
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: before she is distracted and he like gets away and
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: try to poison that like legitimately. Again great acting, great performance,
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: and like that's the fight I wanted to see, was
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: Chun Lee versus Bison over Guyle versus Bison.
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, there you mentioned this earlier in the movie.
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: They edge you a lot. Yeah for a street fighter
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: being a one on one fight situation. They have Riyu
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: and Ken do a little kung fu on some henchman
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: here there. They keep they kept teasing these one on
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: one fights, but then having no finality to any of them,
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: so then they just crammed it all into third act.
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: That was another thing I think is just shoving at
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: all towards the third act. All the company accurate costumes,
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: all the fights, all the things that you would think
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: you would want and love are all shoved at the end.
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: For I would say no less than at least twenty minutes.
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: And it's it's a slog, it's.
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: Yere and like there's definitely room, like if we were
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: to remake this movie, like there's definitely room to have,
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: like the Sagat versus Guile fight earlier or Ken Versure
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: like one of those. I'm gonna say, we didn't get
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: the canvass Re one of them secretly evil fight, Like
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: God bless we cut that one out. That's another game.
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: It's another trope from this game franchise and these movie
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: type things. We do need to cut back for a
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: second though, to the Magical Mystery Stealth Bomber Boat. You
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: really want to talk about that because there are two
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: things in it that drive me so bad, and we're
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: going to stealth mode and they all put their visors down,
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: explain why that's necessary. Riot Yeah, Like like why does
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: stealth bade need visors down in inside of a boat?
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: And then there is a moment where Guyle starts watching
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: like footage of him on a date, like on a
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: double date with with Carlos Blanca while they're in the
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: boat fighting things like literally, I know we're in the
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: middle of war and I have a magical super boat
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: that can blow things up. But let me just play
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: this video that someone filmed of me and my best
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: buddy on a double date in what looks like Greece
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: for a few seconds for nothing at all, except like
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: it's remind the audience that I care about him and
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: I want to rescue him.
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: Do you remember where they vacationed?
• 41:12
  Speaker 5: It was?
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: It was very weirdly like it looked like a Greek
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: country side. It was very like I can picture Greece.
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: It was why that stood out to me?
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, No, I forgot, and most likely the audience has
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: forgotten this entire subplot that has happened. Yeah, which is
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: that Carlos Blanco will become that titular character that you
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: know from Street Fighter. What's this deal? I don't even know.
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: It's just that green guy, you know, the green guy,
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: the guy that does spinny thing in street.
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: He's electrical for some reason. That's a thing in the Games.
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: He's electrical. I didn't know, absolutely right, mm hmm.
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: He has to have a connection, he has to have
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: a space here for the relationships him and Dahalism, which
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: they changed a ton. He's no longer like this Indian
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: monk guru situation, which is fine, but he does have
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: to be bald by the end of it. And then
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: they have to explain that or no, no, no, what
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: blank these people.
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: Crazy names, we don't know.
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Blanca and Dalism now have to be two buds
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: again on their own separate adventure, and that Blanc has
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: found these humanity we must like.
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: It's so much dude, it's so okay. But can we
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: just also have a moment of like one how the
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: fun guyle recognizes Buddy as this green and orange who
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: is also like the most ridiculous looking like practical effects
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: I've seen in the movie in a long time.
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: I did, I did laugh that being said, you cannot
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: say that because we just watched the Bobo from Double Dragon.
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: How dare you valid? Vallid? You're right, that was really.
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: Terrible for me to witness and watch I really hated that.
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: Okay, and then can we discuss what what is the
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: reaction Guyle has to see his best friend turn into
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: this weird mutant is to cock his gun and go,
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna put you out of your missing That's right,
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: You're totally right, zero asitation.
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: Like a horse.
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: You broke your leg. Time time to go behind, the
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: time to go to the big farm in the sky.
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: Buddy, you remember that double day we went on in Greece.
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: So well, no one's gonna We're not doing that ship anymore.
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: I gotta put you out of your misery.
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: That sucks. This sucks. This is bad. So I will
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: say I in research and some facts about this movie,
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: there was going to be more plot for these two,
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: for for dal semen Blanca, and the idea essentially is
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: when they do eventually get away, they were gonna live
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: in the woods together and like the Jungles, and that's
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: where he was going to develop, Like because the chemical spill,
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: we get for like a split second his stretching powers
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: and become like, oh, like that was supposed to be
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: if there was a sequel type thing, Oh my god,
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: that's a sequel.
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: We didn't put enough. We didn't put enough. We got
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: to figure out where where does Ehonda and Bawrugg's newspaper
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: career whatever news? And one was an established cameraman and
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: the other one just hung on the van. I guess
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: what do after that? Oh?
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I guess it is they can go
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: back to effectively boxing and Suma wrestling, like because this
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: will magically clear up whatever past they had that stop
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: them from doing that. But we've also got I think
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: another one of the dumbest jokes in the movie, which
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: is the like Bison like look like looks scared for
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: a second because he has pulled out the tiniest knife
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: to ever be a knife. And it's the re actuality
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: is all of his teammates and all of his friends
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: air quote friends. He doesn't he connects with nobody in
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: this movie. They're all just there because like you're fighting
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: and Bison, we want him dead. I guess you're our
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: champion now, gile Uh. They all show up to like
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: basically say like you got this, We're gonna go deal
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: with everything else.
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's awesome because he's used a gun, he's
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: used a knife. Just use your kicks or something whatever.
• 44:45
  Speaker 2: Guyle is known for just do that.
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and we do. We do get. We do get
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: a bunch of like little vignettes of like decent martial
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: arts scenes, including Reu doing what almost looks like a Hodoken,
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: but they didn't want to go to that level of
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: like mysticism or like special abilities.
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: So it is just probably when I started skipping the movie.
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: Oh so he like does the gesture, there's like a
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: very slight like as if the brightness of the screen
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: goes up for like a tenth of a second, and
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: the random grunt gets like knocked back severely, and it's
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: like did he just adope at him? You don't see it?
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: It's like, you know what. For as much as like
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: there's a mystical element to some of these characters, and
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: they kind of the science he route for a lot
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: of it. Yeah, I'll give them that of like referencing it,
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: but not being like, oh, he can just suddenly shoot
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: fireballs because we decided that was a thing that happened
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: in this universe. They've like weirdly grounded themselves in realism,
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: which is incredibly weird to say. When the next thing
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: I want to talk about is m Bison's electrical like
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: restarting his heart suit thing.
• 45:53
  Speaker 2: Well, I was gonna say, do you think they did
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: it out of the for the Duken part? Do you
• 45:57
  Speaker 2: think they did it out of realism or because they
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: knew it looked like fucking shit? Because these movies they're
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: not known for their special effects. They're not known for
• 46:05
  Speaker 2: the yeah you know, for for for all that good stuff.
• 46:09
  Speaker 2: It's the nineties, we get it, but truly truly uh
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: pixelated like Microsoft fucking word animations for for m Bison's electricity,
• 46:18
  Speaker 2: it's it's awesome.
• 46:20
  Speaker 5: Uh.
• 46:21
  Speaker 2: Star Wars did better effects twenty five years earlier.
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, like the lightning effects on Bison when he's
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: being like resuscitated by his like jacket apparently has like
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: a built like you see it like puffing up and
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: like put it doing chest compressions, like it actually has
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: like a pumpin of some sort. Yeah, and like revives
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: him and he's now he's flying around, which again like
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: makes sense to the character in the games. He's always
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: kind of like that covering thing. But they make it
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: like it's a weird science ability. It's not like magic
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: like I think the game might do. I don't even
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: know anymore. I forget how I don't know who's science
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: and who's magic anymore. Yeah, and like, but we do
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: get like that classically, you think the villain comes back
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: kind of a bonus fight scene. And then, as you
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: pointed out in the notes, you didn't get this and
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: need to die. I looked it up later on YouTube.
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: There is a post credit scene.
• 47:07
  Speaker 2: Oh, it's up on YouTube.
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: I had to go find the clip on YouTube because
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: the version I had didn't have it. But essentially it
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: is just like it's almost the same thing again where
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: it's like the computer talking like good the resuscitation again
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: and like you see his like hand come out of
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: the rubble, and then it cuts to a computer screen
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: where it like navigates through like a Windows ninety eight
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: menu to like options next move world domination. Like that's
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: just that's just an option in his file menu file
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: save as world domination, print world domination. Yes.
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: Also, that's like supposed to be a reveewed. That's his
• 47:46
  Speaker 2: old fucking stick throughout the movie.
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: That's what he's doing. It's like he's already doing that
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: the Nazi all the time. He's already he's already been
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: recessitated once or they didn't go back to again the
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: building blows up at the ends. I guess they don't
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: like think to go back. Yeah, Like you, like, one
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: of the worst dictators in all of human history, who
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: we've all been gunning to kill, is dead and this
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: place has blown to smith areens? Do you want to
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: go back and make sure he didn't get away or
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: some shit.
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: Not. It's a it's a weird thing to say, but
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: I kind of wish there was a sequel. I wish
• 48:19
  Speaker 2: they had, like because they had already dived so deep
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: into the street fighter lore and it's probably I should
• 48:25
  Speaker 2: probably be like a sane person and probably say, like,
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: not this medium. But we haven't had a lot of
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: street fighter mediums since, like we had the Chun Lee movie,
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: which we might may or may not cover.
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I was just pulling it up, thinking like,
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: it's pretty far down the line. It might yeah to
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: revisit it.
• 48:41
  Speaker 2: And yeah, for sure, I think there's a couple of
• 48:43
  Speaker 2: animated OVAs and stuff like that, like not actually like
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: majorly produced or anything, but like a Kuma like for
• 48:50
  Speaker 2: those who are into this, that's like the big bad
• 48:54
  Speaker 2: guy for Ken and Reeu specifically, and he's just basically
• 48:57
  Speaker 2: like an evil version of re and he's probably the
• 49:01
  Speaker 2: next big bad other than m Bison. Like, I kind
• 49:04
  Speaker 2: of do want to watch this continue for the train
• 49:07
  Speaker 2: wreck that it is. Yeah, because at least it establishes lore.
• 49:10
  Speaker 2: At least it was like faithful to the world, which
• 49:14
  Speaker 2: is cool. It's it's kind of like an interesting It's
• 49:17
  Speaker 2: not good. It's not Game of Thrones, let's be honest, people,
• 49:20
  Speaker 2: but it's kind of fun.
• 49:21
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: The end they felt the same as Game of Thrones.
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: They kind of really shot the bed at the end.
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: But no, I'm with you. I thought this was again
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: a like I like, it didn't feel like a chore
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: having to watch this the way some movies I've watched
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: in the past for like other projects have felt like
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: like I had fun. I was reminded and again just
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: to have a personal moment. This is one of those
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: movies my father and I watched growing up because he
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: loved like old shitty action movies. So like Jean Claude
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: Ben Dan was like, I'll watch it. So we actually
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: chatted about it a bit and he's like, yeah, I
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: remember that movie Er John Claude Dana being really good.
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: It's like like he he wasn't that good in it.
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: Whatever you like shat the action movies, So I'll give
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: it to you. But I will say, for the sake
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: of a Paltte cleanser for our listeners, if you did
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: watch along with us or just have to bear with
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: us explaining this movie to you, and you Jason, as
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: a gift, I will find it for you and I'll
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: send it to you. We can put in the show notes.
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: There is a YouTube short that was made as a
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: part of a like mobile game that is street Fighter
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: Cross Power Rangers Whoa and like it's got like, first
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: of all, it legitimately has the original Green Ranger I'm
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: forgetting his name right now, Tommy Frank Mac play like
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: reprising the role of the White Ranger and then they
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: like team up with Chunley and reu for like a
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: fight against Rita.
• 50:43
  Speaker 2: That's pretty cool and it's actually really good. That's pretty cool.
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: It's like a five minute ad for a mobile game
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: that I didn't know existed. So what would you change
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: about this movie? Obviously, like we both don't think this
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: is a masterpiece so far. That is part of the course.
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: What what do you what would you change?
• 51:06
  Speaker 2: You know, I think this movie is really really faithful
• 51:10
  Speaker 2: to its adaptation, something that we have not so much
• 51:14
  Speaker 2: as a scene from the previous movies. And I think
• 51:17
  Speaker 2: I don't think necessarily to the detriment. I think the
• 51:19
  Speaker 2: campiness is good. I think the humor is good. I
• 51:21
  Speaker 2: think making fun of it is good. I just think
• 51:23
  Speaker 2: that it wants to play really serious, and then it
• 51:26
  Speaker 2: also like doesn't give itself enough credit. But I think overall,
• 51:30
  Speaker 2: like if you had to change into something great, it
• 51:32
  Speaker 2: is something like watchable for other people and not weirdos
• 51:35
  Speaker 2: like us. I think you have to like it. It's
• 51:37
  Speaker 2: come back to the essence of a thing. You don't
• 51:39
  Speaker 2: need to explain Chun Lee being in the dress that
• 51:42
  Speaker 2: she is and having her van braces or gauntlets or
• 51:45
  Speaker 2: bracelets or whatever the fuck they are, right, I think
• 51:47
  Speaker 2: you just need to be like, all right, who's his character,
• 51:49
  Speaker 2: what's her motivation? And then, honestly, for this movie as
• 51:52
  Speaker 2: a single outing like that's okay, chop out some characters
• 51:55
  Speaker 2: I don't need. I don't need Tea Hawk, Like I
• 51:58
  Speaker 2: didn't even know that was Tea Hawk.
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: Oh one hundred percent. It was literally He has a
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: one throwaway line where he mentions the bandana being like
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: Native American. Yes, And like I was like, wait, is
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: that a character I actually know about? And like I said,
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: he's not in a street Fighter too, he's only in Turbo.
• 52:15
  Speaker 2: Oh okay, he's in other games after but way after
• 52:19
  Speaker 2: this movie.
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: Way, I'm not even I'm not even sure, Like what
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: was he like reference in the game. It is not
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: a playable character, I don't know. But like if you
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: look up street Fighter two characters, he's not listed. And
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: then if you look like look up Teahawk, it's like, oh,
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: street Fighter two Turbo introduced him.
• 52:31
  Speaker 2: I'm like, wow, okay, yeah, so yeah, I don't need
• 52:34
  Speaker 2: I don't think you need to be so slavishly devoted
• 52:37
  Speaker 2: to fan base. I just do like cut things, you know,
• 52:41
  Speaker 2: make make it good for the story. I kind of
• 52:42
  Speaker 2: did find like a little bit of charm in saying like, Okay,
• 52:46
  Speaker 2: this is how this person interacts with this person. That's fine,
• 52:50
  Speaker 2: you know, like it's okay to be a little more complicated,
• 52:52
  Speaker 2: not as cut and dry, but just yeah, just just cuts,
• 52:55
  Speaker 2: cut some fat I think.
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think genuinely, what it comes down to is
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: like if I were to reshoot this movie with the
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: same cast, the same character choices the ones, Like I
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: would like that first scene where there's almost a fight
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: between Vega and Riu, Like, let them have that fight.
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: It interrupted early, but like we get like a fight,
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: you know, somewhere in the middle, have like a sigatte
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: face off with somebody, just so that they like, like
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: give every character, even if it's just a brief moment,
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: let them have their fight. Yeah. Like I feel like
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: again like Tea Hawk, dhlcium DJ, like they're there because
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: you had these names, and you're like, well, if we're
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: gonna have a random nobody, it may as well be
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: a character. But like, don't do that and instead let
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: the ones you have. Like how many lines does fucking
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: Kylie Minogue as Cammy have in this movie? I think
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: it's too.
• 53:46
  Speaker 2: I can I ask two questions about that. Yeah, but
• 53:49
  Speaker 2: I'll say this as part of the improvement too. Is
• 53:51
  Speaker 2: Kylie Minogue British? Is that like a well known fact?
• 53:53
  Speaker 2: I don't know who Kyle.
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: I believe she's a well known British. I think she's
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: like a singer, not even an actor.
• 53:59
  Speaker 2: Okay, could not tell terrible accent. Hated her almost every
• 54:05
  Speaker 2: time she was like on screen because she doesn't look
• 54:07
  Speaker 2: like Kamy. She doesn't, she's not as cool as Cammy,
• 54:10
  Speaker 2: and her mind deliveries were bad. So get rid of
• 54:13
  Speaker 2: Kylie minogue is my first improvement. But then to your point,
• 54:18
  Speaker 2: and to kind of my point too, something that was
• 54:20
  Speaker 2: missing was like something I've been trying to pay attention
• 54:23
  Speaker 2: to in movie making and so and so forth, is
• 54:26
  Speaker 2: a lot of good directors or storytellers will try to
• 54:29
  Speaker 2: if you're gonna have these comic book films and action
• 54:32
  Speaker 2: scenes and so and so forth, make the action scene
• 54:35
  Speaker 2: mean something, make it have like some some gravity of
• 54:39
  Speaker 2: the storytelling, so like have fights, but also set up
• 54:43
  Speaker 2: character points where it's like, okay, so if chun Ley
• 54:45
  Speaker 2: has like a chip on her shoulder from m Bison,
• 54:48
  Speaker 2: maybe have them fucking fight and maybe have that fight
• 54:50
  Speaker 2: mean something. Kyle and Bison kind of have like a
• 54:54
  Speaker 2: dick measuring contest, but there's not like a ton there
• 54:58
  Speaker 2: to say that this has to happen between those two,
• 55:02
  Speaker 2: Like if that makes any sense mm hm. So give
• 55:04
  Speaker 2: fights this like stakes exactly, and give them character moments
• 55:08
  Speaker 2: if you have to sacrifice like dialogue and other character
• 55:11
  Speaker 2: moments for the fights.
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: Like genuinely, I genuinely feel like you could have like
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: broken this down into the three act structure and in
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: each act have like one or two fight scenes, like
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: even like yeah, introducing kenon Ryu, it could have been
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: the two of them having a sparring match and like,
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: you know, Sigott being like, you know, you invited me
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: out here, you said you had some weapons, Like what
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: is this and like, oh, it's just like this is
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: like our cover? Is this dojo or like you know, which, Okay, cool.
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: We've seen the fighters, We've seen their skill, We've you know,
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: established people know they're fighters. You know, Like there's so
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: many little things you could have done to like really
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: amp up the street fighter versus a third act kram
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: in as many little idy bitty fights as you could. Yeah,
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: and yeah, get rid of a few of those extra
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: characters that we didn't need like as much as I
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: and and the fact that he still had characters who
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: had like prominent speaking roles and show up at the
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: final like you know, moment I think you actually point
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: out the character in question is uh captain, Like that
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: could have been Cammy. You could have replaced Swata with
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: Cammy and would have been made them like a ten
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: times better character.
• 56:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, ten times that a character show up at the end,
• 56:25
  Speaker 2: you're greatly improved.
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: But like he's also the one who's like having conversations
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: with Guile over all of their planning and meetings, like
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: he's doing stuff. Yeah yeah, yeah. Cammy felt like Van A.
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: White put a step down and we had and we
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: had Vana White in the last movie before we end
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: up and go to our little game segment. I do
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: want to spin off a few fun facts for you
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: to see, uh, to give you some behind the scenes
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: of this movie that I thought were worth sharing. So
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: first of all, Sean con van Dam himself revealed that
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: during the filming of this he was doing tens of
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: thousands of dollars worth of cocaine a week and having
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: an affair with Kylie Minogue. During the filming of this movie,
• 57:05
  Speaker 1: Jesus Christ. Uh, they went as far as hiring a
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: wrangler to basically keep Van Dam in check, but the
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: person they got to wrangle him ended up giving him
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: more drugs. I was often found like calling out sick
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: or leaving set or showing up late, but with no excuses,
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: forcing them to like rip scenes out of the movie
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: and give scenes to other characters instead, so that they
• 57:29
  Speaker 1: were actually an excuse to be one.
• 57:32
  Speaker 2: So he was gonna be like more our protagonists.
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: But wow, yeah, it almost feels like they weirdly like
• 57:38
  Speaker 1: he got cut out of the movie because of his
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: own actions outside of the filming, which gave like ming
• 57:44
  Speaker 1: Nowen a chance to like flourish his chunney and get
• 57:46
  Speaker 1: more scenes.
• 57:47
  Speaker 2: Oh cancel culture, am I right, yeah.
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: I cancel all these cocaine frenchmen. As we brought up
• 57:56
  Speaker 1: earlier with ral Julia, who famously portrayed Gomez Adams, he
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: took this role because he wanted a movie that his
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: kids could watch and enjoy, because they were fans of
• 58:05
  Speaker 1: the game and he wanted to participated in the film
• 58:08
  Speaker 1: that would like bring them joy, which I think is
• 58:10
  Speaker 1: so adorable and I like it makes me love him
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: even more.
• 58:13
  Speaker 2: It is super adorable. Also, your kids can watch Adam
• 58:15
  Speaker 2: his family.
• 58:16
  Speaker 1: It's okay. I mean yeah, I think, I think, I
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: think it's I think. Then it was the considered RACI
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: and now it's like no, it's super plain. Yeah. Also
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: to tie into next week's movie, Jean Claude van Dam
• 58:27
  Speaker 1: turned down the role of Johnny Cage in Mortal Kombat
• 58:30
  Speaker 1: to do this.
• 58:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I haven't known this fact, again being a mortal comic,
• 58:34
  Speaker 2: and I've known this fact about John Claude Van Dam
• 58:36
  Speaker 2: for a long long time, that Johnny Cage is based
• 58:38
  Speaker 2: off of him. They wanted him for the movie all
• 58:41
  Speaker 2: that good stuff. I'll be honest, this is my first
• 58:43
  Speaker 2: John Claude Vandamn movie.
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: I don't like the guy. I don't. I don't get it.
• 58:50
  Speaker 1: I don't get it. No, there's like one other movie
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: of his I watched my father. I cannot tell you
• 58:54
  Speaker 1: what it is, but it's like one of the ones
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: where he does is like famous because his thing is
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: the splits, and he never does in this movie. And
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: that to me is like I was waiting for it, Like,
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: at least, if you're gonna put Van Dam in this movie,
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: you're gonna give me the moment and then do I think,
• 59:08
  Speaker 1: give it?
• 59:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Johnny Cage does. He does this split exact yeah,
• 59:12
  Speaker 2: which is.
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: The most like iconic move for that character. Let him
• 59:16
  Speaker 1: do it, like I Like I said, they kind of
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: got away with nodoken, but giving Reu like a moment
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: to hint at it. Yeah. Like again, chunn Ley never
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: does the spinning bird kick, which is a classic one
• 59:26
  Speaker 1: of her moves. Although how you would do that?
• 59:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's good.
• 59:29
  Speaker 1: I don't want that. Like I'm glad they cut the
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: line on some of these. Yeah. I will share one
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: last fun fact that this one really like threw me
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: for a loop. So surprisingly you know the Wilhelm scream, right, Yeah,
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: and how like every movie has used its almost this movie,
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: to my knowledge, I didn't catch at least doesn't use it. However,
• 59:48
  Speaker 1: I heard it once. Yeah, I think it was during
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: the I think it was during the brainwashing scene. I
• 59:51
  Speaker 1: think I heard it. Oh, maybe I'll have to go
• 59:53
  Speaker 1: back and check. But we do get during that final fight,
• 59:57
  Speaker 1: one of Bison's troops get sent flying out of an
• 59:59
  Speaker 1: explosion and it plays the goofy sound, the goofy like
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 1: what he goes since flying away, which also makes this
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 1: one of the very few non animated and non Disney
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: films to use that sound effect. Oh okay, I kind
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: of want to go back and like look that up
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 1: and now and see what other movies have been able
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: to get away with that. But like interesting to me,
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 1: it's like what a bizarre like like what why this
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 1: movie's awesome? I think that I think also what why
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 1: how describes this movie as in a nutshell pretty much? Yeah, well,
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 1: this was a very fun experience. I love that. I
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: think it was finally broke you.
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, I mean I think this is a good
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 2: time to sow our verdict. Right, we want to test
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 2: these movies now, we want to see the history of
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 2: these movies. How do you feel is it a good
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 2: video game adaptation of Street Fighter or Street Fighter too?
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: And then is it a good movie? Well, I'm going
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 1: to give this on the scale of adaptation, I'm going
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 1: to give this a Hyper to Turbo Alpha edition.
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 2: I was gonna give it a street Fighter Anniversary collection,
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 2: Capcom Fighting Evolution.
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 1: Damn it. He's just better than mine We're Hunger title. Damn.
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: I was like on the spot, like, what are the
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 1: words that throw anymore? He just Mine's real? Okay. Well,
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: when they eventually make a Kingdom Hearts movie, we get
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 1: to make the same jump again in twenty years. I'll
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 1: leave it to you. I'm sorry, but like I like
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 1: some of the like the fact that they had the
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 1: heart to put the right details where it mattered, to
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 1: make these characters feel like their characters and not just
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: like Mario and Luigi or the brothers in Double Dragon,
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 1: where it was just like, here's the character name, now
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: let's put them in our own movie. This felt like
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 1: if you asked a ten year old kid to make
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: up a movie for street Fighter and kind of just
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 1: like American propaganda war stuff, this might be what you
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 1: get with every character almost getting it name and showing
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 1: up and like a ten year old boy, Chunnley, would
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 1: it have been a hot outfit and Canny would say nothing,
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 1: because that's how movies about action heroes.
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, no, it's it's a it's a great adavitation.
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 2: I think we both agree on that. As a movie itself.
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 1: Oh, as a movie itself, I would still give it
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 1: like a seven out of ten because I legitimately think
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 1: this would be a very fun movie to have a
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 1: drink and watch with friends and laugh about.
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah. It broke It broke me.
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 2: I had to skip it. I did not know who
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 2: John Claude van dam was like screen wise, I now
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 2: know his work. I don't like the guy understandable that's yeah,
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 2: you might be a good guy, John Claude, honestly like
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 2: a decent human being. Maybe I don't know, but I don't.
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 2: I just don't like you on principle. Now for that,
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna give you a quarter circle back, mid punch,
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 2: low punch. If that's an actual combo, I don't fucking know,
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 2: but I know that's how that works in Street Fighter.
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 1: I'm sure I can look at up and find if
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 1: it's a real move. I had to look at a
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 1: lot of moves for our minigame, which we'll get to
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 1: in a little bit. Welcome everyone to another mini games
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 1: segment on Press Play. We are joined this week by
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 1: Aaron and John is returning. Maybe you'll redeem yourself in
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 1: this week's game after last week's being crushed by your partner.
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 1: Maybe maybe not. I don't know. It's just like it's
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 1: like a trade fighter. You you you do your first round,
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 1: you don't do so well, and you get a second
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 1: round to recoup yourself and come back to the winner.
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 5: Yeah, hopefully this is my Chunneley or Vega round, so
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 5: I can just just spam attacks the whole time.
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 1: Ah yeah, insight there, that's awesome. Or spamming with fireballs.
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 1: I guess there's there's a lot of there's a lot
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 1: of cheap moves you can do. Oh yeah, early early
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 1: fighting games was just like, oh, you find that one
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: move that's like too quick and hard to dodge, and
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 1: you just keep doing it and like piss off your
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 1: brother who like thinks he's good at the game but
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 1: can't get a move off because you don't stop just
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 1: lower kicking in the corner. Yeah.
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 5: Uh, a lot of broken controllers.
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 2: So it sounds like John, you definitely have some experience
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 2: with Street Fighter. I am not I not a Street
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 2: Fighter household unfortunately, but Aaron is also joining us from
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 2: the amazing BFY CW podcast also gate Leapers cast, Helly,
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 2: Thanks thanks for coming in, Aaron, of course. How familiar
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 2: are you with Street Fighter, the game, the movie.
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 3: Oh man, everything. I watched the movie just before coming
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 3: on today. I made sure to watch it this morning
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 3: just to remind myself of how amazing it is. I've
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 3: been a Street Fighter guy since I think the arcades
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 3: when Street Firry two showed up. Never played the original
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 3: until after, but Street Firry two was a phenomenon.
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 4: It was everywhere.
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 3: It was even in like pizza pizza shops and you
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 3: know it was it was like two different places in
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 3: the mall.
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 4: So you could play it just about anywhere I am.
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 4: It was wild.
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 3: It was wild when when it popped, it was like
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 3: the biggest thing imaginable. And I managed to get my
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 3: parents to get me Street Fighter two Turbo for the
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 3: Superintendo when that came out, and I just remember having
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 3: a blast with that. But when I really got sucked
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 3: in was like when street Fighter Alpha came out. That
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 3: series just waw, Like I still absolutely love those games
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 3: to this day.
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 2: Record of you playing the game, Oh yes.
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 4: I absolutely.
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 3: I used to stream professionally, so to speak, quote unquote,
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 3: not really for for goog dot com. Uh yeah, they
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 3: have their own stream team and I was a member
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 3: for like two or three years, and one day they
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 3: they had they might still have it.
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 4: I don't know if it's still there. I hope. So
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 4: street Fighter Alpha too.
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 3: There was a PC port. Now, I have to tell
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 3: you the PC port is terrible, absolutely terrible. Tons of
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 3: frame drops, lots of input, it's it's it's pretty bad. So,
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 3: you know, in an effort to make my stream of
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 3: this game entertaining, I'm like, okay, what if I take
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 3: the worst possible character on the worst possible port and
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 3: try to beat this game on the hardest difficulty. Ah,
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 3: So for an hour and a half straight, I played
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 3: as Dan on the hardest difficulty on the Street Fighter
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 3: Alpha two PC port uh and it was. It turned
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 3: into a phenomenon. It's probably my biggest dream.
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 4: I ever did.
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 3: There because people started coming in to watch and and
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 3: they started like just because my my hand minor net
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 3: handles pantsls errand they just started randomly like replacing words
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 3: in video games with pants and posting them in chain.
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 4: So people are posting things.
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 3: Like call of pants, sid Meyer's pants left for pants, like,
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 3: and it just got more and more ridiculous, to the
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 3: point that I'm laughing myself sick. So like there's a
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 3: highlight reel of the whole thing, and I put it
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 3: up on my watch soup and it's it's It's one
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 3: of my favorite things that I've ever done. I did
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 3: actually eventually succeed. Like I said, it took me an
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 3: hour and a half. I had to fight a don
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 3: I don't know how many times, something like something ridiculous
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 3: like seventeen times in a row before I could finally
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 3: take him down.
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 1: Holy shit, it was.
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 3: It was.
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 4: It was a lot of fun. I'm glad I did it.
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 4: I'm never doing it again.
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 2: That is legally so cool. I think I did not
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 2: realize that that was like that was the content. I
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 2: just watched you play a video game, and I was like,
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 2: this is pretty cool.
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 5: Oh my goodness, people love Dan. Holy crap, that character
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 5: has blown up for somebody who was created to be
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 5: such a joke character, Like he's so much fun, he's
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 5: got personality.
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 2: John, Like your face lit up when Aaron mentioned Dan,
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 2: Like it's just so you allude it. Obviously you are
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 2: a fan of Street Fighter, but like, what's your connection
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 2: to the movie to the video games?
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 5: You know, very very similar to Aaron, Like I I
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 5: grew up going to the arcades playing Street Fighter two
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 5: at all of its different iterations, when Championship editions, Super
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 5: street Fighter two when you got four new characters, and
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 5: then the Alpha series especially like we have a very
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 5: similar track, you know once it went into Alpha and
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 5: then all like the Capcom Versus games like that was
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 5: absolutely my childhood going into Roundtable Pizza every Friday after school.
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was. It was. It was a staple.
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 5: And when I had Sega Saturn, like getting street Fighter
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 5: Alpha one and two and Marvel versus Capcom two, like
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 5: it was. Street Fighter was one of my favorite games
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 5: because I'm not a patient gamer, Like I can't do RPGs.
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 5: I'm not good at racing games. But you can do
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 5: you can jump in, you can do quick rounds.
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 5: The the combos are easy to master, you know, like
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 5: Martal Konas was more difficult because you have to do
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 5: like back forward, back back forward, you know, high punch. Oh,
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 5: but you know little quarter circle punch to throw a fireball.
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 5: Hell yeah, that's that's a that is uh that is
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 5: right up my alley.
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 1: So I'm the asshole massacists who got into soul Caliber.
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 1: So I'm used to like left left upright, b forward,
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 1: send me circle forward, left forward back while doing a grab,
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 1: but only in the air with these three characters as
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 1: the enemy.
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no, it's Street Fighter. Combos are pretty simple. Anybody
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 3: can do a jump in kick like a light or
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 3: medium punch into a haduke, and we're sure you can.
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 4: Anybody can do that. It's it's easy to figure out.
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 4: You A lot of people learn it on their own
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 4: without being taught, Like.
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 5: Yeah, my natural was the jump in, fierce punch, uppercut
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 5: to the hadu.
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 2: Can those are as a non street fighter fan these
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 2: are This is awesome to hear. This is like, I
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 2: have nothing against it. This is really awesome. If anything,
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 2: it's told me that I'm on the wrong side of
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 2: the fence here. I just didn't grow up with it
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 2: in my house. So that's awesome. And I'm super fun
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 2: stoke for this uh bonus round minigame over there were Yeah,
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 2: So this.
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 1: Mini game, I'm realizing this thing where it's like, I
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 1: think I have a really fun idea for a minigame,
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 1: and then the players come in with so much more
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 1: knowledge that I anticipate. So this mini game is being
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 1: delightfully called quarter circle. Back up your memory. So we're
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 1: gonna be giving you a list of moves, one at
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 1: a time. For a point, just let us know if
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 1: it's a real move or not, and then for a
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 1: second point, whose move it is, So up to two
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 1: points per question. However, each of your list does contain
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 1: one fake move, which one point for identifying that it's
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 1: fake and a second point for giving us a really
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 1: let's go with a fun, silly or creative what the
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 1: move would do. So we're gonna go back and forth
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 1: with some moves. We're gonna see if I picked ones
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 1: that are weird enough they might cause some confusion or
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 1: if your boat is gonna hammer these out perfectly the
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 1: whole way through.
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 2: Okay, look at the list. A couple of these moves
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 2: kind of sound like sex things.
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 4: Number five especially welcome to the world of fighting games.
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 1: Well we'll get started, Aaron. I'll give you your first move,
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 1: and that is the Devil verse Devil reverse, Devil reverse.
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's definitely one of the sex things I was referring.
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that sounds like I gave her the old devil
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 3: reverse last sounds like it might be from Tekan, But
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 3: I you know what, I genuinely think.
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 4: No, I'm gonna say that's real.
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 1: And it is real. You get a point. Do you
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 1: know whose move it is? Though?
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 4: I don't just based on the name, though you can
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 4: guess it just based on the name. I'm gonna go
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 4: with Julie.
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 1: John, do you know whose it is?
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 5: I don't know, but I I would assume based on
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 5: the name that it's a Kuma.
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 1: It is an m Bison move.
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 2: Ah name pixel, Julie and Auma are huge.
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 1: Oh good, I'm glad this is working. Okay, good h John,
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 1: You're up next and yours is the jack knife maximum. Oh,
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go real, and you would
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 1: be correct. Whose move is this?
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 5: This is tough because it's either it's either an air
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 5: grab going down or it could be like a guy. No,
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 5: that's the flash kick. Never mind, I'm gonna go. I'm
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 5: gonna go. Charlie.
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 2: Who the fuck is Charlie?
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 4: I was, I was. I was pretty sure I knew
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 4: that one. Dang.
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 2: All right, Aaron, you've got the air Frankensteiner.
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 4: I'm pretty sure I know whose it is.
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 3: If it's right, and you know what, I am gonna
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 3: go with that. I think it's real, and I think
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 3: it's Rainbow Mika's move.
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 1: What are you saying?
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 2: Now? Who's that that would imply that there's a ray?
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 4: No, it's just your name.
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 1: She screamed, wrestler.
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 4: She literally screams rainbow, which she does crazy.
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 2: It is the wrestler one. Oh yeah, she shows up
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 2: as Armika.
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah she's Armika, but it's it's short for Rainbow. But
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 4: I take it it's not her. For your reaction, No,
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 4: it's Cammy's Cammy. I wasn't aware she had an air throw.
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 4: I mean kind of. I guess.
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 1: I'll be honest. The list I pulled these from, it
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 1: did specify if they were grabs her in all, but
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 1: I didn't make.
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 3: A note after like thirty plus years. There are so
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 3: many characters and moves that I did. Yeah, this was
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 3: this was going to be a challenge from the off,
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 3: but oh yeah, I'm enjoying it.
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 5: So yeah, you brought you brought up Rainbow Mika, and
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 5: I was like, oh, that's that's my knowledge. I'm one
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 5: or two games behind. I think Street Fight or four
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 5: was the last one I really played.
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 4: This guy knows Street f I was gonna say, you
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 4: played street for Alpha three?
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 1: Right?
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 4: She was in that?
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 1: Oh?
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 2: Was she?
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 5: Yeah? She was like the blue mask.
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, yeah, oh I know who that is? That? Okay,
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 1: thank you.
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 2: Everyone's caught up on who Rainbow Meek is. All right,
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna throw it over to you now, John, let's
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 2: do it. Your move is the Mexican throw geez?
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 5: That seems so it seems so so basic and like
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 5: I can I can think of the character that it
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 5: would be, but I don't know if they are Mexican
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 5: or not. No, no, I know he's Mexicans. I'm gonna go.
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 2: Fake unfortunately, which I guess I would reveal whose it is,
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 2: but do you want to guess.
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 1: I'm I'm spacing on his name.
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 3: He was.
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna say you get the name, will still give
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 1: you the bonus point.
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 5: He was a character from from Street Fighter Alpha who
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 5: had like a samurai helmet looking thing and he had
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 5: like a charge and he bore like shoulder.
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 1: Pads and oh, I know who you're pleasuring. But no,
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 1: I don't remember his name.
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 2: I don't think it's this guy because it's Tea Hawk.
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 1: Oh wow, yeah, yes, Tea Hawk, who is not Mexican. No,
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 1: that was remotely, which is why I had to include it.
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 1: Was like, what why? What's weird?
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 5: Is like when you said Tea Hawk, I feel like
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 5: the music from his stage popped in my head from
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 5: Super Street Fight.
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 1: Wow yeah yeah, Oh my gosh. Also occurs to me.
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 1: There are fakes on this list. I never confirmed they
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 1: were fake in future games further down the line, but
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 1: I'm so convinced they're fake. So we'll be gre Have
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 1: you made it up by yourself? I mean I can
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 1: come up with.
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 2: Can you in your head?
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 1: We'll let that. We'll let these two players be the
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 1: judge when they come up. Eventually, here's an air Dracula,
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 1: I know, the underground Wolf. No, Aaron, your next one
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 1: is the knee bazooka.
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 4: Okay, uh.
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 1: Searching the mind Palace.
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 3: I am there's a bunch of characters who will use
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 3: knees in, you know, some powerful moves.
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 4: But I'm I'm gonna go fake on this one.
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 1: Mm. Unfortunately it is a real move.
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 4: Damn, damn.
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 1: Do you want to take a stab again for a point?
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 1: Stab at whose move it is?
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 3: There's there's two people who come to mind. Uh, it's
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 3: one or the other. I'm gonna go with aid On.
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 1: Who was the other one? Yeah, it was neither of
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 1: them was. Giles is a great choice. Though. Gyle has
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 1: a move called Nika. I just assume it's very American sounding,
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 1: having a big gun and that's what it's for.
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 4: That's bizarre.
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I can't even think of what the move, what
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 5: Gile's move would have been.
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 1: I I just look.
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 2: I will say Aaron is super super on the point
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 2: with because he chose the two white Thai characters.
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and I would have figured, Okay, ship John.
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 1: Robbed to you next, and your is the ultra fish twist.
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 5: Oh my goodness, what are you doing to me? And
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 5: I feel I feel like like eventually something has to
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 5: be fake. So and I have no reason. I have
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 5: no character to attach this too.
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 1: So wait a minute, remembering there's that weird disco dancing.
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 1: But I'm curious caliber character.
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 5: If it's a fake move, what's the bonus point?
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 1: Come up with a fun Really.
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 5: You even said that. You said that out loud to me.
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 5: I'm gonna say it's it's fake and you would be
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 5: our first fake move of the game. Yes, hooray. So
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 5: for a bonus point, what is the ultra fish twist move?
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 1: I know, I want to hear. It's a it's a move.
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 5: It's a new move in a new Street Fighter game
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 5: by the classic character Vega, who who does a jump
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 5: and grab and he sort of like twists his legs
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 5: around like like a like a tail around you and
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 5: then and then does a little sucky face on you
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 5: with his mask off and then he uh then he
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 5: then he slaps you with his claws and and pulls
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 5: his mask back.
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 1: I'm so sold that that is a damn good move.
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 1: I like that. I like, of all the characters to pick,
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 1: I think going for Vega really sold it. But I'm curious, Eric,
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 1: what were your thoughts on the Ultra face.
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 3: Well, there's a character in Ultra street Fighter for his
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 3: name is a Khan, and his his gimmick, so to speak,
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 3: is basically that he covers himself in oil, and the
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 3: more covered he gets, the more dangerous he becomes. For
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 3: some reason, but I'm just picturing as like he grabs
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 3: his opponent and just kind of wriggles him around his
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 3: body so much that his opponent is now covered in
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 3: and then he just squeezes and because he's so like,
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 3: you know, wet and you know oil, he just pops
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 3: out of his arms and flies across the room, Like.
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 1: I just need to know. When you initially described this character,
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 1: all I saw was that seed of Willie and the
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 1: Simpsons where he's looking for the grease? Do you have
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 1: any grease? Rips his shirt off. Yes, But John, you
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 1: are getting a bouth a play for that answer.
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 2: I really did enjoy it, Aaron, Yeah, your move is
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 2: electric thunder, because what else is thunder.
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 1: Sound? Wow? Yeah? Fuck you guys. I'm not a scientist.
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 2: I just play street fighter or something electric thunder.
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 3: There are a couple of characters who play around with electricity. However,
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 3: the name of this move is so ridiculous that I almost.
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 4: Have to go with fake.
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 2: Oh, this is a street fighter we're talking about. It's real, baby, unfortunate.
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 2: But now that you know that it's real, who does
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 2: it belong to Blanca?
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 1: He certainly does.
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 4: If it was gonna belong to somebody, it was gonna
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 4: belong to Blanca.
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 2: That was.
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 1: That was one of those picks of like, this sounds
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 1: way too obvious and way too fake. There's no one
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 1: gonna believe this. That's awesome.
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 2: All right, I'm gonna throw it over to you now, John,
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 2: all right, your move is buffalo head, which was my
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 2: other sex thing that I thought about.
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 1: I was gonna say, oh, God, what does that entail?
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 1: I don't want to know what that What does that
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 1: even mean?
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 2: As long as you do to quarter circle back, quarter
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 2: circle forward, I'm in a happy place.
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 1: I was gonna make it talk about like storming the
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 1: Capitol and then giving someone head a giant buffalo thing. God, No,
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna go fake.
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 2: This is also real. Actually, I think you are went
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 2: through your fake one, so I think, oh, is.
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 1: There only one fake one? Yeah? Sorry, yeah. I also
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 1: said that. Yeah.
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 2: Oh, I don't know if I just gave you a
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 2: bunch of points.
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 1: I'm just here it is real. Uh for the bonus point,
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 1: what does it belonged to?
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 4: Ah?
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 2: Who's the most likely to give you?
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 5: I mean there's the reason why why why I went
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 5: fake anyway, was because I was like, Okay, Bison Buffalo,
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 5: that's a uh you know, that's a that's a play
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 5: that that Drew might do.
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 1: That is smarter than me. But I appreciate you think
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 1: so highly of me. But the other one, who's just
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 1: name a character? See if you get lucky, I don't
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 1: have even guess. Yeah, Bison, okay you tried? Yeah that
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 1: was that was Oh wow. Yeah. I was sitting there.
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 5: I was like, Okay, who's who's the Native American character?
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 5: And like we already talked about Tea Hawk.
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, well again would have made more sense.
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 3: He's the only one I can think of who as
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 3: like a rapid fire like head button move. He just
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 3: grabs and slams over.
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we had to our final two Aaron for you,
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 1: I have soaring a dog moon fake, very fake. You've
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 1: met a game, You've met a game? Real? Good?
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 4: I mean, it has to be. We're at the last
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 4: one and I haven't had a fake one yet. So done.
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 2: But also, how dare you make fun of my my
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 2: beliefs in astrology?
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 1: Sorry for a motus point, What does this move do?
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 4: If it was a move?
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 3: So Julie like grabs her opponent, flips over him, you know,
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 3: kicking her legs in like a crescent style, and then
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 3: throws her opponent you know, over her head, landing on
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 3: all fours you know as they as they crumple to
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 3: the ground.
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 4: She's the moon and they're the dog.
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 1: Well thought out and toned and making a move, capcom
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 1: it's a free And then John, to end us off here,
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 1: your last move is Rolling Crystal Flash. It's real wow,
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 1: a whole name. But again, in case you need to
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 1: figure out who it belongs to, it is Rolling Crystal Flash.
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 4: John, you gotta have this.
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 5: Oh no, I mean, I'm guessing just be just because
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 5: it seems kind of obvious. I'm well, no, never mind,
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 5: I should never assume something's obvious. But I'm gonna go.
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 5: I'm gonna go Ken because he's got he's got his
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 5: grab move where they roll.
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 1: Oh and Aaron, do you want to correct, the poor player.
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 4: It's gotta be Vega.
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 1: It is, in fact a Vegas. Yeah moves. Yeah.
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 4: I was like, it's got to be him, It's gotta
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 4: be man.
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 2: I love this, just watching two experts in their fields.
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 1: It really was. It was the way you knew so
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 1: many characters and moves. I was like worried you would
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 1: get too many any of these, And then I think
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 1: the like second guessing you kind of did you just
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 1: you just.
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 3: Gave us the right list. If I'd had John's list,
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 3: I would have crushed it. Really, I knew almost all
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 3: of his and almost none of mine.
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 1: That is amazing situation. Well, despite that, Aaron, you are
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 1: winning with five points, with four four points? What point?
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 1: If only if only I had listened to the rules.
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 1: Oh my god.
• 1:24:33
