Interesting Note...

Recommended Posts

A friend of mine who lives in North Carolina was watching an Indy show, and the Barbarian was on it. During a match, The Barbarian did a Sharpshooter...and from what he tells me, he does it better than the Rock does.

 

...now if the Barbarian can do a somewhat OK Sharpshooter, why can't The Rock?

Sadly, The Rock doesn't try to sit on the opponents lower back, instead just relying on half assing it by sitting a little on the opponents legs if that

It's the WWE style. Most of Rock's opponents are either shorter than he is, or just pussies who won't take the move right. And yeah, he probably doesn't know how to do it right.

I'd also chalk it up to the WWE style. You put somebody in the Sharpshooter the right way, it hurts like a bitch. Same thing with the Liontamer.

It's not even an actual lion tamer anymore.

 

They just have Jericho do a freaking boston crab!

Speaking of Barbarian...when can we expect the return of him and Meng to "spice up the tag division" and "give a rub to Kane and RVD"?

No...you see...WWE left the Liontamer alone...it's just that Jericho never uses it anymore.

 

He always uses the Walls of Jericho now...except that one time against Trish.

When did the Walls of Jericho become a Boston Crab?

I dunno...I'm trying to use WWE reasoning here! Give me a break...it's painful!

No she means Meng. He's always been called Meng. [/WWE anachronistic logic]

I think you mean she.

Previous post has been edited. Please forgive me for momentarily forgetting there is a female demographic on this board.

 

BTW, for having "Bishoujo Senshi" as a title, I shall use a smiley. :headbang:

You're forgiven. Actually I am not even sure if I've ever mentioned my gender in the first place.

With a title like "Bishoujo Senshi", I'd hope that you're a female.

Yeah, true, but not everyone knows what it means. I am just happy that at least SOMEONE knows.

::chuckles:: I knew from Sakura, the name of the Ryu hero-worshipper from SF Alpha 2, which also means "cherry", not to mention the nice avatar pic... what game is that from? I want to say Parasite Eve 2, but I'm noit certain.

 

::tactfully doesn;t mention his mistaking her for Yuna::

Bishoujo Senshi. I used to watch that show. Regularly, as hard as that is to admit...

 

Anyway, even I've used a decent Sharpshooter as well as been in one, though it really does hurt when you cinch it in correctly. Heck the Boston Crab hurts too if you use it right.

Hence you took the name of the queen of all fighting schoolgirls.... at least until until Alpha 3 came out :D

Karin owns Sakura (the characters). It's a shame the rest of Alpha 3 is so weak.

 

And it's sad that submissions are looking wimpier and wimpier. Before long the Ice Pick will return (Glacier jabbed a thumb into his opponent's pectoral muscle. Yeah...that's it), and the Purple Nurple and Ticklelock Submission will be used as finishers.

Karin Kanzuki does rule and should be in more games for sure...but she is no Sakura.

 

And Alpha 3 is great. My only problem with it is that it doesn't really seem like "Alpha 3". It's more like an uber SF game with all the characters, the ISMs and the weird story.

Yeah, Karin is nothing like her. She has ORIGINAL moves and doesn't flash her panties. :P

 

And basically, yeah, Alpha 3 is lazy otherwise. Too bad the Saturn version is in Japanese only (hence the endings are unreadable to me as well as not very good in English anyway), the DC version sucks control-wise due to the controller, and the PS version has the animation cut problem.

Hehe--yeah, Karin's classy like dat.

 

The one arcade we had around here (Pocket Change) had Alpha 3 for about a week. It's currently out of business.
