Ever wanted more poetry in a fighting game?
Do you think that naming Kasumi's default punch in DOA along the lines of 'Eight Kimono Threads Gentle As The Mountain Oda' gives the series a touch of class?
Do you think Slayer's Instant Kill is tighter than an altar boy bending over for Father Pete O'Phil?
If yes, you're in the minority.
The very effeminate, Benimaru-Testament-Rasputin-Remy minority.
So, read on.
(If you thought 'no' to all the three questions, you're in the Clark-Terry-Ryu-Haohmaru-Sol-Badguy Mecca of Manhood majority. But read on anyway. This post is packed with 7 vitamins and minerals, and should be part of your complete everyday breakfast)
(If you answered 'yes' to one or two questions, then you may have...unresolved...issues in your past. Please consult your nearest psychological helpline or the aforementioned Father Pete for details. And read on.)
Now that you've scrolled down here, here's the skinny.
We all know haikus right? They're three line poems style originating from Japan, Land of the Rising Cultural Fads. They have two main substyles, one with three/five/three sylable lines, eg:
a haiku
is a small poem
like this one
the other has five/seven/five sylable lines, eg:
longer haikus are
sometimes are much easier to wrire
but mosttimes harder
And we know fighting games, right? Hadoken, Shoryuken et al?
Well, here's your chance to combine the two, into a combination unheard of since peanut butter & jelly and Optimus Prime & Megatron. Post a haiku involving fighting games on the board.
The winner gets hmm....
1)bragging rights and
2)France. (Note: 2 will only be delivered to the winner upon my succesful conquest of the known world)
To kickstart what will hopefully be a snowball which will flatten several rustic alpine villages, here's my entry:
Round 2, Fight!
you're real fighter but
here comes a new challenger!
lovable Igniz!
So, come! Get serious!
