This week for me is the Dynasty Warriors 3 waiting room. I didn't play the demo because I already knew I was going to be getting it, so Im willing to wait the extra week or so. I talk about DW a fair bit, but its hard to fully speak to how important the series is to me so im super excited for this.

Just finished playing through the Wo Long 2 demo. Liking what im seeing so far. It's a lot of what I was expecting, carrying over from the first game, with a few additions to the combat that give it just that little bit more. There were definitely some bugs and jank, but its a demo, so of course.

I was already honored to be a voice in their game, but now I’m DOUBLY grateful to have @doublefine.com’s continued support as they unabashedly celebrate our collab! (And please don’t worry. While my success & public joy seem to be upsetting to some, I feel like I’m getting to live my dream life!)

Double Fine's decision to cast Erika Ishii has sparked harassment and abuse online, prompting the studio to shut down replies.

Took my time back to master ball tier in champions for the new format due to a bunch of reasons, one of which being an insistence of having Absol Z the whole way there. Did get there though, so maybe I can start looking at some other teams. I love AbsolZ, but goddamn is it tough to get right.

Now that im back I can actually get back to the speedruns ive been working on, and also look into some new ones. Ive been told that the length for the new onimusha speedrun is in my wheelhouse, meaning several hours.

Context: on the Friday there was the SF6 crew battle, NSW vs The Rest, which I was signed up on the side of NSW. Zonatte is one of the regions best Lilys, would go on to make top8, and had just taken out several people in the crew battle. Cue this going to final game, final round. Unedited btw.

Okay i did find the clip in the vod, and there were some stream hiccups that honestly makes the ending so much better, we've been dying of laughter because of it. I'll have to post it once I'm back with a disclaimer that the clip is entirely unedited and is what was on the vod

First big day of OHN and I'm ready to go, kinda, i need coffee. I'm not too worried about my results, especially after getting having one of the most stressful ft2 endings in the crew battle yesterday. When the weekend is over and I'm back home I'll have to grab the clip for sure.

My tournament runs are over, i went 1-2 in Strive to get 33rd for the 3rd year in a row. In Street Fighter 6 i went 4-2, spending almost the entire time in losers bracket to end up in 17th. I'm very happy with how i played, and even forced multiple players in both games to switch characters.

Just finished Onimusha, and goddamn thats a good game. The way the combat flows in the big fights is the highlight for me, just exactly what ive been vibing with in these kinds of games. There were a few things here and there that felt minorly tedious, but overall great.

usually I would start the week of streams with some pokemon speedruns, but i would like to finish up Onimusha before im away for the weekend so ill focus more on that for now. those speedruns arent going anyway, I can get back to them when ive returned :)
