Back on Episode 239 we opened a package mailed to us by “Jon from Louisiana”. Inside that package, we found a bunch of great stuff (wonderful toys). We also found Street Fighter: The Movie for Sega Saturn. We finally have a Sega Saturn to play it on (thank you, Ryan) so it’s time to subject ourselves to the pain. There’s a lot of game talk on this episode; we also open a package from New Drew and we take a few calls.
TADPOG: Tyler and Dave Play Old Games
Ep. 313 – Street Fighter: The Movie
Hi there, listener. You're about to experience Tadpog, Tyler and Dave played games, and there will be plenty of game talk. But also, copious amounts of crude, off-color, offensive, and immature speech. So if you are of a rather sensitive, humor constitution, or just letting you know what you're in for with this show, it has games. It has jokes. You know, just games and jokes. Take the games, take the jokes, and have a good time. Hello internet, and welcome to another Tadpog podcast. Still, it happens twice a week, or two old guys talk about old games. This week, we're talking about a video game. Yeah, because we're talking about a video game. This is straight up original flavor. Yeah. It made me sad the other day. I was talking to Josh Edwards and Timelord Josh Edwards, excuse me. And he was quoting the show, where he was doing the whole, Tyler, if you were to get this game, a beard. And I felt really weird inside. I felt like I just watched Henry graduate from high school, because it was like, "Oh, I haven't said that in so long." Yeah, it has been a while, hasn't it? Yeah. Since, Dave's Odyssey. It's true. I think that's the last video game we actually covered. I was that covered. Yeah. I put covered in sequins. I was that long ago. It was last month. Yeah, it's fine. Cool. We better cut off. Yeah, we figured that's about time. This week has been a mixed bag of complaints. Yeah, it has. It's really taught me like, "Dan, if you do, Dan, if you don't," because no matter what we try, somebody's like, "Everything's changing, man." So I was like, "All right." Yeah. Well, what's great is that we had actually planned to do this game before complaints came in. It was like, "We're working on it." But we're glad that you're here listening. That is the truth. If you still are, yes, we're very glad you're here. Yeah, if you are. Thank you. Because my brother, he happened to be on VCI, which is our local, like, Craigslist hasn't hit big in Western Kentucky. We still use an internet service provider from like 15 years ago. Their want ads are the bigger place. And he saw a guy who was selling it. I don't think, they didn't come with any games. Just a Sega Saturn, one controller, make me an offer. And Ryan called him. It was like, "Okay, we have 40 bucks." Okay. So he went and got a Sega Saturn for 40 bucks. Normally they're around 100 on eBay. Nice. So it was a good deal. And we happened to have that one Sega Saturn game sitting back there. We've been wanting a Saturn mainly to play this game that was sent to us by John from Louisiana. Yeah. Back on episode. That's some good. Because I didn't remember. So I'm glad you did some research to figure out who did send us that. It was tough research to do because I what I had to do was go to the site and search for mail. And then, like, any episode that showed up, I was like, "Well, I'll listen to the intro." So it took probably about about two hours to get to find it. But I figured it was worth it because I wanted to give John from Louisiana, who certainly does not listen anymore. I wanted to give him the credit that he is due. Yeah. Because, I mean, yeah, we played that game. We played that game. Yes. We did. We did. We played the game that he included, which was Street Fighter, Colin, the movie. The game. That's not on. That's not on the box, but it should be because it is a game. And we were very confused when we saw his pack, when we opened his package and was like, "Is this... It says Sega Saturn, but I guess it's a game." And then, I guess, whenever I pulled out the disc to put it in the Sega Saturn, "Hey, there's another game under here." So, we've got another Sega Saturn game just waiting for us. Well, when Chris Edler comes up. Yep. Because it is a pinball game for the Sega Saturn. Do you remember which one it was? I can't remember which one it was. Ultra pinball, maybe? Yeah, something like that. I only vaguely glanced at it for just a second. We just know it's a pinball game. Yeah. There's probably only one pinball game on the Saturn, except for maybe 200 Japan imports. So, before we get to Street Fighter, the game, the movie. The movie, the game. The movie, the game, the game, the movie. Damn it. I'm watching it make a movie about us playing the game. I'm your beard host, Tyler. And we got a package. We got a package to open. You want to open it? Yeah, I'll open this one. Because it's in a flat-rate mailing envelope. What's up, Internet? I am your perspective host, Dave. And this is the sound of us opening a package from Drew. Not barbecue baron, Drew. This is a new Drew. A new Drew on the block. So, I'm not going to give his last name because I'm not sure if he's cool with that or not. Yeah. We'll see. We don't know new Drew enough. If there's a letter in here, it feels like it feels like a magazine. So, I'm guessing just from the weight of it that it's a magazine. I feel like this has got to be an old playboy. I'm going to smell it. I've opened it. I'm going to smell it. It doesn't smell like an old playboy, though. Let it be his Christmas carpenter episode for an old playboy. What is this? All right. Are these Garfield comics? Whoa. Whoa. These are amazing. All right. So, it is a whole bunch of comics, one of which I have heard of, but I've never seen before. I've seen scans online for this Super Mario Bros. Valiant, under the Valiant publisher. There is a letter in here. Maybe we should read that. Super Mario Bros. Number one, dollar only five, featuring exclusive scenes from the hottest game ever, Super Mario Bros. 3. Pretty nice. Pretty nice. It is pretty nice. All right. Here is a note that is included, which says, "Hey, guys. My name is Drew, and I just wanted to thank you for all the hard work. You approach podcasting with so much fun and so little negativity, and it's really appreciated." Well, I'm sorry, Drew, but we might have a little bit of negativity on this episode. I'm just guessing, based on the game that we played, so bear with us. The positive attitudes have translated into my own podcast. I noticed, I guess what I'm saying, is Tadpog is infectious in a cool way, though. Not like an STD. Like a disease that is a gift and a curse, but primarily a gift. It's like an STD. Speaking of gifts, I hope you enjoy these comics. That Captain In-Book is a real gem, a real shitty gem. Fun to read, though. Anyway, thanks again for all the hard work, and I look forward to seeing what comes next. Sincerely, Drew Van Genderen. That's my best guess. I'm trying. I'm sorry, Drew, if I got it wrong. And it looks like his Twitter handle is, "Just Drew VG. PS." Oh, God. PS. You can read this on the show if you want. When I saw there was a PS, the first thing was like, "Shit, we have to cut this entire thing." Because he's going to say, "PS, please do not read this." Especially my last name. So speaking of which, are we on USB input? Otherwise, we have to re-record anyway. We're good. Okay. Good, good, good. So thank you, Drew. Of course, we saw the Super Mario Bros number one Valiant comic. Yes. Here is the Valiant Captain In that he referenced. I like that Bigfoot on the back. I know, right. It's an ad for the claim NES Bigfoot game. Not Bigfoot. The monster truck. The monster truck. This is Captain In number three, $1.95. I went back and watched that cartoon a few months ago, and it's weird in that Mega Man is green and sounds like a goblet, because no one, he didn't have a personality established. So they just assumed he was just growly. And apparently the designers had like a fucked up TV that their blue came through his green. So that's why he's green. I didn't see him in the comic, but I just kind of flipped through. Wait, Mega Man's not green. They need to reboot this now for Captain NX for the next Nintendo system. You need to tweet that. That's funny. Here is Marvel versus Capcom, Fate of Two Worlds, which is a small comic that I think that I got when I purchased Marvel versus Capcom 3. Hey, power makes the player and here's your chance to get it. Here is where we can enter a Nintendo power. Is there a phone number? Yeah, call them out and get the power even faster. Hold on. What's the number? 1-800-521. I should have asked when I was ready to dial. All right. 1-800-521-0900. 0-9-0-0. All right. Here we go. Thank you for calling Nintendo. What? For 18 years and over 28 million calls, we have discontinued our live game counseling service. We want to thank our many fans who used our service throughout the years. Although we no longer offer live health, we have many options available for game play. This is nuts. For online game play information, you may want to try our website at nintendo.com. Another source for detail gameplay information is a video. They still have a tip line? The number to call is a 1-4-2-5 8-8-5-7-5-2-9. This is a regular log. This is a call. It's just a log. This is a call. How do they do that? How do they cover that? They assume no one's going to call it, such as a guy named Chad. I've got game backs pulled up right here. It has to be. They pay somebody to do that. What area code was it? Did they say 4-1-5? I do not remember. I think our real problem was I'm looking at it right here and the power line is closed on Sundays. I think that's what it was. I'd love to call back Monday through Saturday 4 a.m. to 10 p.m. Well, it is Tuesday, Tyler. As a special bonus with your two-year subscription, you get a free team power pin. I wonder how much team power pins are going for now. I can find out. We probably should. We probably should. Also, 4-1-5 is a San Francisco area code. I'm assuming that it's time Lord Josh Edwards with his cell phone. That's his cell phone number. People just call and he looks it up on game back just like he said. We have to call that number. We have to call that number. Let's see 7 over some more Patreon money to pay for our long-distance phone calls. That's what I don't understand. There are no long-distance phone calls from a cell phone. I don't even understand why it's like-- How are they even making money? Right. I wonder if you call and then it pops up. Enter your credit card information. Enter your PayPal. We can do it. What's the thing called the team power pin? Team power. That explains all these really weird results I got from the team power pin. Okay. Tyler, I found on-card rare Nintendo power magazine. Team power promo metal badge pin. Silver or bronze? It doesn't say. Because if you get a 2-year subscription, you get a silver one. It looks like it's nickel? Okay. You're free nickel pin. How much do you think it-- oh, I see a photo of the bronze one. This is definitely the silver one. How much do you think it is? For buy it now? 30 bucks. Actual retail value of the Nintendo power magazine. Team power promo metal badge pin at the time of this recording on eBay is $8.99. All right. That's doable. We're probably going to have to get those. Here's a cheaper $1.699. These are all silver. Ooh, yellow and gold for $10.99. Yeah, these are cheap. Also, if you're interested in a 2010 Vancouver Olympic team Canada power skating ice pin, I know where I can hook you up for $3.99. So Marvel versus Capcom, fate of two worlds is a tiny comic that drew us in this. I'm interested in these two as well. This is a Maximo comic, which is straight up ghosts and goblins. And it looks like in the very first page, in the bottom panel, looks like there's Naruto. Check that out. I'm sure they didn't get sued over that. Holy shit. Like down to the leaf headbands. All right. All right. Who's the who? Who's the artist on this? I say that thing like expecting I would actually know who draws Naruto Kishimoto. Oh, well, I don't see it. Well, no, wait a minute. There's no way it's the same person, right? I wouldn't think so. No, these are all English names. And then the final comic. This is a Marvel comic. You might have heard of them. Marvel. I'm sure. I'm sure this is the next Marvel Studios MCU release. Double Dragon. This is a double dragon number one. Oh, nice. This is holy shit. Look at this ad. On page seven, you're in for the time of your life, Dungeons and Dragons game. Oh, man, perilous journeys and heroic adventures. Nice. 1991. Very cool. Oh, I recognize that name. The editor is a co-creator of Deadpool. So I wonder if Deadpool makes an appearance in the double dragon comic that would be sweet. Thank you very much, Drew. That is very awesome. Yes, Drew. Thank you. And thank you for the very nice note. And I'll have to check out your podcast, which I assume is just Drew VG. If it's not, I'll tweet at you and find out what it is. Or you can tweet it us. You're probably listening, maybe. Maybe still. Unless we have it. Yeah. Scared you off yet. Hear that, Dave? I do hear that. We'll see. What have we done so far that I can make a noise about? Well, we rifle through some comics. I wish I could do a good impression of Time Lord Josh Edwards taking calls. Yes. In the four one five area code. Bay Bay's world. The sequel to Bay Bay's kids, Bay Bay's world, which is just a reskin of Super Mario World. That's fine. Super Mario Brothers 2 reskin is Bay Bay's world where you each of the kids all have different abilities. Yeah. All right. I'm down. I'm down. You had me at Super Mario Brothers too. I do hear that long distance phone call that we're making. Which, of course, ushers in a segment that we like to call, Dave reads Wikipedia. In just a moment of typing furiously. All right. Okay, guys. Street Fighter, colon, the movie, parentheses, console, video game. This article is about the PlayStation and Sega Saturn version of the Street Fighter, the movie video game. For the arcade game based on the same film, see Street Fighter, the movie arcade game. Street Fighter, colon, the movie. Tyler released in Japan as Street Fighter real battle on film. All right. That's appropriate. Uh huh. It is a head to head fighting game released for the PlayStation and Sega Saturn in 1995. The game is based on the 1994 live action Street Fighter movie and uses digitized images of the film's cast posing as the characters in the game. While it shares its title with the arcade game Street Fighter, colon, the movie, the home version is not a port but a similar game developed on the same premise. The home version was developed and published by Capcom in Japan and released in North America, Europe, and Australia by Acclaim. I can go into gameplay if you would like. Okay. Okay. Although I will save reception before the end. Because man, this game, let's start with the movie first of all. The movie is just like, the movie itself is pretty bad. I wanted to rewatch the movie, but I did not want to pay three dollars to rent it. That was my only option. I saw it as a kid in middle school, a guy's birthday party, and I remember being confused. Because I mean, the movie, the movie itself is not nearly anything as fascinating as the background to the movie. Like all the production process, everything that went into this movie is just like endlessly fascinating and what just a horrible clusterfuck it was. It makes you appreciate, or at least it made me appreciate like what all has to happen for a movie to be made. Because it seems like the story for Street Fighter in the movie is like at every possible point of failure, there was a failure. Like at every single turn, it was just like, no, I'm sorry, God does not want this movie to happen. The only thing that I guess, I mean, if Raul Julia had died during production as the only thing that could have went wrong, but didn't go wrong. Yeah, well, he was recovering from stomach cancer during the filming of the movie. So I mean, he wasn't quite, he didn't quite die. Yep, he waited till six weeks after the movie dropped. Yeah, and that's a bummer. I say waited like he was like, I'm holding on. It's going to see this movie. Maybe it's good. Oh, it's not good. But the first time I'd ever even heard of it was I was in the third grade and after spring break, everybody had to come and do an oral report about what they did on a spring break. Oh, man. And oh, man, this is good. It was Cockmaster Ashley Shake who got up. And for spring break, I wouldn't saw the best thing I've ever seen in my entire life treat fire the movie. It was absolutely amazing. Every minute of it, it made my spring break. I can't quit thinking about it. I was like, Oh, man, that sounds pretty good. Did you get to see it? Did your parents allow you to see it? No, no, I my parents did not enjoy movies very much. Right. I remember. So yeah, like got we move over to go see less than five movies ever. Geez. So this this didn't make the cut the same cut that Captain Ron did. So I was curious at first before I forgot about your family's relationship with movies when you were a child and music and music. Just pop culture in general. Yeah, I mean, video games were all and barely have that, right? Yeah, it's true. That was a struggle. Books were always okay. Yeah, that's good. Yeah. I was curious if they didn't want you to see it because of the rating because there's an interesting story behind the rating to Street Fighter the movie. It is PG-13 and it was one of the many hurdles that this movie went through before release was the MPAA rating and the director had written for like Running Man, a bunch of Schwarzenegger movies. He'd done big action blockbusters. Yeah, he'd written them. I think this is his first time directing, which I would say probably that shows. But just directing a cast of like 40 different characters. Yeah. So he knew how to write a PG-13 movie like and that's what they were aiming for. So that's what he that's what he directed. He directed a PG-13 movie. So he thought the MPAA thought that there was too much blood in it for it to be PG-13. So they gave it an R rating. Man, there's no way this movie should have been rated R. That makes no sense this movie would have been rated R. So to get around it, what they did was cut a bunch of stuff from the movie that had blood in it because they didn't have time to shoot because this movie like this movie wrapped after Deadline and then they had to do a week extra of shooting in like Vancouver just to finish it up. So they had no time to reshoot anything. So they just edited the hell out of the movie. So they took out like snippets here and there like Gyle has a bloody lip. They just like trying to eliminate as much blood as they possibly could in the movie. And then they resubmitted it to the MPAA and they turned back and gave it a G rating. And they didn't want a G rating. They wanted a PG-13 rating. I don't know why. I guess it's they're playing a game right where it's like, oh, well, our demographic, more people in our demographic will see in the movie if it's PG-13. So street by the movie, general audience. That's why there is a throwaway line supposedly. Like I said, I haven't seen this movie since I was a kid, but there's a line where John Claude Van Tam aka Gyle is crawling through ducks and not ducks, not the animals. Quack, quack, quack. But like the ventilation ducks. Van Bisonley's army of ducks and Gyle has to army crawl through their legs. So he's not noticed. He just like dresses up in his bread suit, which is just like astroturf on the back with just like bits of bread. Just bunny bread. He just carmy crawls through. That's a scene out of hot shots. That's going to suck. Is there a hot shots game? I wish there was better be and that no UHF game. Oh, UHF game? Yes, please. So while he's crawling through the ducts, there is a line that he says, which is a very buddy cop movie line. He does say I'm too old for this shit. They put in the word shit so that they would get a PG-13 rating. That's all that they did. Man, so is it Kevin Smith who writes about just how fucked up the MPAA is? Yeah, he has had many a battle at the MPAA. And that like unless you're like already a powerful like director, they usually won't even tell you why they gave you the rating that they did. Like who was he working with? Like he was producing something, submitted it, they gave it a rating and he was like, okay, well, why can I cut to get it down? They refuse to tell and they're like, we cannot tell you that whatever. And then the next time he worked with another like bigger director, they're just called somebody. Oh, well, at this minute, this scene, this minute, this scene, and it's just, and going from R to G. Oh God, man. That's so, oh, that's so fucked up. Supposedly, I just heard this on one of Kevin Smith's podcasts. He, his most recent movie yoga hosers, he wanted to contest the rating from the MPAA. And he has contested so many ratings and overturned to them that when he had a date set to contest it and everything, he got a call. He said, I think three days prior, that said we just lowered the rating. They just, they just did it. They like didn't even want to bother like him, like having him come in to contest it. And he said that he thinks it's because he almost holds the record for overturned movie rate. And he, I don't know if he was joking or not when he said it, but he said that he thinks that they might just not want him to have the record. Man, God. Oh God, it's so fucked up. Oh it's so fucked up. It just, it, it frustrates me thinking about it. How just, oh man. So Street Fighter the movie, it's land before time essentially with the word shit thrown at it. Because if my parents never really, the only time they ever gave me a hard time about going to see a rating based on the rating, like half baked my mom threw a fit about me seeing. The alternative was Titanic, which she didn't want me to see that either because of the nude scene. Yeah, I'll not say that has a dirty titty in it. Yeah. That was, I don't know if I've talked about this before, like, because Brandy Gatsby was obsessed with Titanic. She bought the dual VHS tapes, the day it came out. I remember that dual VHS set. And like she bought it and she had it, she was going to have people over that night from school to come over and watch it. And she went to class, went to school, came back, had friends over, popped it in, they watched it. When it gets to the nude scene, suddenly it skips through it and watch you've been at school, her dad went in and passed over the nude scene. What did he put in there? I think he just blanked it out. I'd be great if it was just him like staring at a camera in a dark room. Just describing the scene. There's a boob here. None of you are married to that woman. You cannot see it. This scene Leonardo DiCaprio paints this woman like one of his French girls, and then it just picks right back up. And let's see. That's great. I love that. I love that. Because everybody asked her like, how do you do that? I don't know. I still don't know how we do that. We didn't have like anything to like do that on like. Yeah, it's weird. There's like just five seconds of Joe versus the volcano in the middle of time. It's the scene in that Garfield movie where he cruises in a volcano, then he goes back to the rest of the day. Garfield. So I remember, yeah, it was, I think it was a church youth trip even at that. And then when Brennan and I snuck in to see dogma, like my dad kind of hasled us about that a little bit. Oh, he found out about it? Well, because he knows we walked out on the different side of the theater from the movie we were supposed to see. So what did you guys see? Oh, I forget what it was. What was that about? And he asked us like separately and we said totally different things. He was a little mess, but he was fine about it. And apparently like the Catholic church is going out of its way to try and suppress dogma. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I did not know that I saw that on Reddit. Oh, yeah. Yeah, that was a huge dogma was a huge deal when it came out because that that was a big controversy. I remember I didn't see it in the theater because I was probably like a freshman in high school when it came out or sophomore in high school or something like that. So and honestly, I wasn't even, I hadn't even been turned on to Kevin Smith yet. Because that was like something that Burgerbottom John Turley showed me when I worked at Apex. And I was like, no, I don't know what this Kevin Smith guy is all about. And then yeah, I watched, I watched all of his movies in reverse order. Because I do, I watched Dogma than Chasing Amy, the mall rats and clerks. See what else about about anything that comes in mind about how awful the game was or Capcom knew nothing about the movie making process and just had a strange list of demands. Yeah, they wanted, they wanted the full roster of Street Fighter characters in the movie. And like, there is, there is a great article before we go any further, I want to mention this article that you've mentioned on the show before Tyler a long time ago on a previous episode. There's a polygon article written by Chris Plant that is an amazing read. It is a wonderful read. It is long. If you have time though, and you're interested in the atrocities of the Street Fighter movie, you need to read this. I will have a link to this in the show notes because it goes over all of this stuff through interviews with actors, interviews with the stunt coordinator. It's a really, really good. It is, I think, the best thing I've ever read on polygon. Yeah. Just how in depth it is. Like, I read it and I was like, this is, this is journalism. This is fucking journalism right here. But so many things went crazy with this movie. And one of the things is what you were talking about. Capcom wanted their full fucking roster of Street Fighter characters in this movie. In a 90 minute movie, they wanted all of their characters. And so the director, he convinced them to do seven because he said, he asked them to name all the seven dwarves. And they couldn't. And he said, people can only remember up to seven characters. He said, that's the maximum. There's seven, there's seven wonders of the world. There's seven dwarves or seven samurai. He went on this whole like seven thing. And they were like, okay, all right, we're on board seven. Well, the seven characters will pick seven characters. And they did that. And then while in production, they wanted to add two more. And so he was apparently so exhausted from like trying to get everyone cast because he kept like the day before they're supposed to shoot, he cast Cami, the actress, Blake Cami, which is what Kyle-- Cali Minogue. Thank you. Because she's the local Australia pop star like-- Right. So in the middle of production, they wanted to add two characters. And he's so exhausted from like trying to get everything else to work. He says, okay. And then later in production, like, oh, we need two more characters. It got to the point where I think they had 12 total. So Chris Plant talks about the director doing the math. It's like, okay, well, 12 characters in a 90 minute movie. If each character has their own little spotlight, we're up to like, I don't know how-- I can't do math. But we don't have much time. It's my fucking point to spend on each character. So it's, it sounded like a pretty cool movie to make. Seven and a half minutes. Thank you. Thank you, Tyler. Because what they combine, Ryun Kin, like all their scenes are together. So all right, go ahead and club them together. And they're pretty terrible. But like, I know the-- was Capcom originally wanted a different Ryu, very insistent about with this actor. Yeah. And he had been in a couple commercials in Japan. But the casting art had been locked in. So then they created a brand new character for him named Sawada. Let's see. Ryun Kin are arms dealers. Well, Kin is a con man. In the movie, in the game, Kin is a con man whose job is to swindle street games. Right. That's not what he was in the movie. He was just an arms dealer movie. So, so he and Ryu sell Sagat a bunch of Nerf guns that look like real guns. And they're very upset with them for this. And then of course-- So, Kid and Ryu are the Cheech and Chong, essentially. They're the Jay and Silent Bob of the Street Fighter movie, is what you say. Well, then he's got the journalism team that is Chun-Lee Baurog at Yung Baurog. Baurog. Just a nice guy. They're all in the news band together and all sorts of shit. And then of course they all, they try to stay strangely faithful to like the sets in the game and the costume design. And so all that is pretty spot on. No special moves in the movie. There are, but they're really not well done. Yeah. Because there's-- Oh, because Kin does the Shora Eukin. So, sort of. Where he does the uppercut and then he twirls. He does it as good as I could. Just as-- I don't know. I might be able to do it better than he did. You probably could. They're-- They talk about-- In that article that we mentioned earlier, which is entitled Street Fighter, Colin, the movie What Went Wrong by Chris Plant. Check it out. They talk about how the stunt-- The stunt team was so busy directing half of the movie. The stunt coordinator was directing half of the movie because they got 10 days behind because the whole cast of the movie was addicted to the Thailand massage parlors. Yep. Yep. Because like John Claude Van Dam apparently was just a drug-addled mess the whole time. Like just fucking Kylie Minogue and then Ty Horst. Ty Horst. Yeah. Massus. Yeah, massage parlors. So, the stunt coordinator had a direct half of the movie. So, because he was busy directing, he was not busy coordinating stunts. So, the actors-- And none of them were trained or just had to do stunts or done anything at all. There is a scene where I think it's But the guy who I think played Ken talks about-- Like he was supposed to do this flourish or something with a sword. And he was in the middle of lunch and he got the update that, "Hey, your sword scene is covered up right after lunch." And he freaked out because no one had taught him how to do the thing with the sword. All of the stunt team was occupied. So, he spoke to a guy on set who had some martial arts trading. And in half an hour, this random guy taught him how to use a sword to which the actor claims he calls it himself controlled flailing. Oh, because what else is going to say about this awful awful-- Oh, even as a kid, I remember like, "Why is Jean-Claude Van Damme playing Gile? Why isn't an American playing like the super American?" I know. I know. It's like a foreign actor playing Captain America. Now, well, yeah, okay, yeah, I see. Yeah, I get that. For some reason, when you said Captain America, my brain interpreted as Captain Planet. And I was like, "Wait a minute. I think we all know Captain Planet is American. I don't see the mullet flying in the other countries." Maybe Russia. Maybe. Maybe Russia. Maybe Australia. Okay. Definitely Australia. So, yeah, yeah, this movie was a disaster. And it shows. I remember being very angry in middle school because they had conflated Charlie's story with Blanca's story. Oh, my God. Blanca. Oh, my God. And as a-- When I was in middle school, and I've mentioned this when we've taught on Street Fighter episodes, I've mentioned that Blanca was the character that I always wanted to be good with and never was. And I'm still not good with Blanca. So, Blanca was like-- I was really excited. It looks like Blanca's in this movie. Awesome. He is the worst. He is the worst. He is-- Chemicals are just poured on him and-- It looks like different flavors of Gatorade. Yeah. Or if you use them to him. And Charlie turns in the Blanca. That's the story there. Who is a really, really horrible looking prosthetic mess. Oh, yeah. It's-- Oh, it's very bad. It's very, very bad. It's not well done. Like it's-- Oh, it is-- It is B-Hore movie. Like-- It's a trauma movie, essentially. Yeah, it does. You're right. You're 100% right. It's like trauma Blanca. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. It's like the toxic Avengers. Actually, he looks worse than the toxic Avengers. And I'm not exaggerating. He looks kind of like-- He kind of looks like when you saw him, you mentioned Carrot Top and Kudos to that. Because he does look-- To me, he looks like if Steven Wright and Carrot Top had a baby, that's what-- That is why it's Blanca in the movie looks like. Because yeah, he is green in the movie, but he is flesh-toned in the game, which it looks like you're fighting with Carrot Top in Juggalo Shorts. Yeah. It's ridiculous. Speak of Juggalo Shorts. Holy shit. Where did they get all this camo in 1995? And why is it blue? What of what uses blue camouflage in the green jungle? Well, the-- Tyler, the shadowly of junk is blue, as you know. Because what-- Oh, and-- Because the director said he intended it for the movie to be funny. It was supposed to be a tongue-in-cheek, street fighter movie. So it comes off like, I guess just the riding and the acting, it all just comes together where you almost don't get that it's supposed to be funny. It just comes off as bad. Bad. It does. Because it's so poorly made. Yeah. It does. It comes off as unintentionally funny. Yeah. Well, the director claims that it was intentionally funny. And I can see that. Like, I can see that it was written to be funny, but it is-- But the man, the way it's acted and the way it's produced, it does just seem like the things that are supposed to be funny are not funny. And the things that are not supposed to be funny are funny. So it's like everything is just flipped. Because at one point, they get in stealth boats to go to Embison's fortress. And the stealth boat just has Lieutenant Colonel Gile just blazing across the side of it. So, okay, that's supposed to be funny. I get that, but it also just seems like it's just bad direction. Yeah. And then like John Claude Bentham does have a strong accent. Yeah. But in like Bloodsport, I could understand him. Which I've never seen. I guess I need to. Oh, man. Yeah, Bloodsport's good. But and then in the Street Fighter, clearly he is fucked up in so many of these scenes because he just sounds like he's talking gibberish. His accent is not that strong. He is clearly, it's like he's taken-- He's like he's taken Ambien and he's trying to act. Well, he was like in the throes of a cocaine addiction while this movie is being filmed. There is a really funny story in the article that talks about. He, since English is not his first language, the director asked, do we need to do line training? Which I guess is a thing that you do to make sure that a non-native speaker understands the lines and can deliver the lines correctly. And he said no, that he had already gone over them with his wife and he refused to do them. He refused to do them. And then on-- His wife while he was having to call him a no all over the set. And that's not even allegedly. That is like in an interview. Like he said it. Yeah. Like something about like while he was in Thailand, Cali Minow was spreading her thighs for him or some shit like that. Yeah, it was like it was no secret. So it was right. He didn't have time. He didn't have time. He was drugged out having sex with a beautiful Australian woman. And so there's this elaborate scene where they have to rig all the actors up on harnesses. They've got blood packs like it has a whole set up. It's a huge set up. And he, John Claude Van Dam, has to deliver a line that says something along the lines of like, I'll get to you later. I'm paraphrasing. I don't know exactly what it was. So he delivers the line. All the actors jump up on their harnesses. The blood packs go off. And then John Claude Van Dam, not the director says, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut. Like in the middle of filming, they land. They're like, what is wrong? He said, I deliver the line wrong. I said, I'll catch up or I'll, I'll see you guys later. Like L.A. D. D. E. R. And he's like, we got to reset. We have to reset. So they start resetting. They start like they clean up all the fake blood. They reset the packs. They set up. They get off the strap and back on the actors. They get the actors back on their harnesses. They bring, they lift the actors back up on to the elevated positions. Meanwhile, the director has time to review the footage. Turns out he delivered the line correctly, but they figure we've already got it set up. We might as well just fucking film it again, just in case. And they all, they film it again. And this time, John Claude Van Dam says ladder. I read it. And I was like, that is like a tadpog moment. It's like I was trying to prank call film. So it's weird because now that I've read like all the like horrible things that like this the making of the movie, like all the things that the director had to go through, it makes me want to watch the movie again. And like, I'm curious of all how like. I'll watch it with his commentary, which supposedly he recorded commentary before the movie was released. That is that's the quote unquote proof that this was written to be funny. Let's watch it with the commentary. We surely we can find a copy online. Yeah. And my, all of my favorite Kylie Minogue's moment I've ever seen is not this movie, but when she was on SNL, she was the Ian McKellum hosted SNL with Kylie Minogue as the musical host. And everybody knows Ian McKellum is gay. And during Kylie Minogue's because she's a, she's, I feel like she's fairly popular in the US. She's much bigger in Japan as a pop star. But she's, I remember the last time I saw her, this was years ago and she was in her 40s then and looked like she was in her late 20s. She looks good. Yeah. But she's doing her SNL performance, and you see the camera just pans over just slightly to the side of the stage. And Ian McKellum is just jamming out so hard. I, I, until I started doing research for this episode, I did not know that she was a pop star. So like, what is, what kind of music is it? It's very like Britney Spears from Street Fighter. Really? Okay. Oh, it's Smashball. I can't remember what her, what her song, her last big hit was. I would know what if I heard it, but I can't remember up in my head. It was the song that Magneto was jamming out to though, so. So the game. So the game now talk about the game a little bit. It, I mean, it plays very similar to like Street Fighter 2. Like everyone has their exact same moveset. Like you were able to sit down and pick up and control Ryu and Ken like. Yeah, the moves are all the same. Yeah. And that's cool. I do like that because it was, there was no real learning curve to it as far as like that goes. Yeah. But okay, well once it's done, the live action video like shots of them in the actual game. And that is, it does not translate. Well, it looks so weird that they're in these frozen poses walking back and forth and these moving into these strange animations when they get hit. Like, I guess it's fine for those weird frozen poses when it's animated, but watching a real life person do that is just very strange, especially Ken. Oh my God, Ken is hilarious. Just to give, just to give the listener a point of reference, if you're not familiar with the game, which I hope that you're not familiar with the game. This is this, okay, Street Fighter the movie for Sega Saturn is essentially Street Fighter 2 turbo done as a Mortal Kombat game. It really is because it's like, it is, it plays like a Street Fighter game, but it looks like a Mortal Kombat game because everyone's motion-capped, everyone is photorealistic. But I mean, it looks like they took the actors from the movie, set them up in MoCap, which really, I'm sure it is just the actor's heads that they've superimposed onto these bodies. One of them is extremely obvious. I was laughing my ass off the other night when I was playing with Ryan. I think it was Vega, where it was just straight up like the color of his body and the color of his face is just like, whoa, like a huge difference. It's like, it is obviously like, just two different dudes. And it's like, if you look closely, you can see like where the head was like just kind of clipped off and just put that on top. But yes, Ken is fucking ridiculous. All of them are because they don't look anything like they do and when they're animated. For the most part, the casting is just bad. Like, I don't see the parallel, like, okay, Chunli, I feel like it's solid. And Vega's, Vega's pretty solid for the most part. Who else? Zangief is good. Zangief is good. But see what's, what hurts this, what hurts the game is that most people are kind of the same size. You know, they're like within the same realm of one another, while in like the Street Fighter games, Zangief is huge. Like he is impossibly large. Like he would have had to have been like the mountain from the Game of Thrones is the only person who could have like done that justice. Yeah, absolutely. Even if that. So like in this game, there's not that much of a difference. And I'm assuming in the movie, there's not much that, not much difference as well. Just because most people are kind of within a foot of each other in size. And Balrog, the actor who plays Balrog looks more like Little Max trainer than he actually does Balrog. If you want to see- They make a funny hand job joke between Balrog and Yhonda, who are buddies. There's something, there's a joke in there about 100 hands left. I just don't know what it is. And that, well, whenever you go to the character select screen, that it looks like they had each of them, each of the actual actors do like a pose for their being chosen. Like, and it's still, they're still behind like a blue screen. Like it's like minimal effort. No production. And even all the poses are bad and like them saying their names. Like that's just, that is awful. That's intelligible gibberish. So I just remember what, because strangely enough, I had no idea that you told me that Akuma is actually a playable character in this, which he's not in the movie. You have to enter a code to play as him. He's not in the movie. No. Okay. I didn't think that he was, but I was confused because he was in the game. I mean, his story, I don't know what they would have done because they were planning to do a sequel. Yeah. I don't know how they would have wedged Akuma in because Ken and Ryu have nothing to do with what their actual storyline is in the game. No, no, no, no, no. So how Akuma fits in, I don't fucking know. And they're not even like their characters. No. Like, I mean, that is probably like, that is a really disappointing point of the game or the movie, where it's like, Ken and Ryu are like, they're pretty big deals as far like Street Fighter goes, right? I mean, like Ryu is the poster child of the game. The main character of the original Street Fighter, like, yeah, he should have been the main character and not Kyle. From what I understand, this is just a guess, but I do know that Capcom said that they wanted a Hollywood action movie. So maybe that's why they chose the American character because they wanted to give it like a Hollywood style, like a, I don't know. I don't know. It's a bad call, I think, because Ryu is the fucking heart and soul of Street Fighter. That's what that is what's cool about Street Fighter is you've got a guy who trains and can throw hadokins and then he's got, it turns out there's another guy training and then there's another guy training and then there's another guy training and then there's a girl who wants to train. So I mean, when I say it, doesn't sound interesting. He sounds pretty fucking sexist when I say it. All one of the teenage girls who has a crush on. Speaking of ballrock, because you mentioned you mentioned ballrock looking like little max trainer. So if you want to see a better representation of ballrock, I think we might have mentioned this video a long time ago. There is an excellent video called Street Fighter ballrock colon behind the glory, which is an amazing video that is interviewing ballrock's dad about about ballrock and it's like done in this like really touching documentary style. If you have not seen it, I will have this in the show notes. You do need to watch it because it is very, very good. It is, it is hilarious. Also, who did those, who did those Street Fighter shorts? Was that, was it, it wasn't all a tumor, was it? It might have been. I think it was called a tumor like Street Fighter the after the after years. Yeah, when they finally finished that, that was so good. That was man, that was cast better than this movie. Oh yeah, and it had better effects. Now granted, I know it was like what, 10 years later, but still, it did not cost them $35 million to make the Street Fighter. After years, I'm assuming. Yeah, because that ends, the later years, I'm sorry, Street Fighter colon, the later years, link to that in the show notes. And the movie, like the movie still made a profit, it still made like a $33 million profit, I think. It did really well worldwide. Domestically, it almost broke the record for a ticket drop from Friday to Saturday. Yeah, it was, it's the second highest, I do not know what the first, the first is, but worldwide, it did very well. It made money, because I think worldwide, it did like $125 million or something like that. But it did not do, it did not do super well here domestically, here in America, I shouldn't say here. It's also sad, like, because man, raw Julia does a really good job in the movie, and like he did research on like, he tried to portray, he had a lot of research on Mussolini trying to portray Bison. So he does a very, very good job in the acting, but yeah, the movie still, like, you don't really see many fights in it. I think the first fight is like an hour and 12 minutes into the movie with got its guy on Bison. Yeah, because you just see just short action scenes before then, but that bugged me as a kid too, because it's like, there's just a lot of shooting in the movie. I remember that. I remember like a lot of, a lot of just firing of guns and throwing of grenades, and that's fine. I'm okay with that. I like that stuff, especially as a kid. I love that stuff, but this is a Street Fighter movie, and I want to see fighting. Fighting. The stunt coordinator was like, no, you guys are going to kill yourselves, just shoot guns and throw grenades. Do you want to know the reason? Yes. Because you're going to love this. Capcom, I'm just going to throw that out there. Capcom kind of comes off. Like, when all the dust settles, Capcom's Capcom comes off as being opportunists. And this wasn't Capcom was considered good. Yeah, because they wanted this movie made, and they knew how they wanted to do it, and they knew the roster that they wanted, and they were going to go along with it. Oh, yeah, I was sure we'll compromise, and then sneak everything in later, later, later as it goes. Not only that, this movie, Capcom had a deal with the maker of G.I. Joe. G.I. Joe, the G.I. Joe toys were not selling well when this movie came out. So there's a time in the 90s where G.I. Joe wasn't doing so well, and they wanted to pick up the sales. So they licensed Street Fighter. And because of that, Capcom was like, hey, we need to have some kind of like G.I. Joe kind of stuff in this movie, so that we can market the toys that we're going to release on Black Friday before the movie, or after the movie releases. So that is why we have that stealth boat, from what I understand is a reskin G.I. Joe toy. And that makes things with G.I.O. and on the camouflage. Oh man. Yeah. So there's a little, the world sucks when you understand how, like, why decisions were made, and it's like, has nothing to do with like artistic integrity or anything, or telling a good story even. It's just about fucking selling video games and toys. And it, because the game, of course, where there's movie, the movie mode. Yeah, there's three different modes, because there's movie mode. There's, there's movie battle, I think it's called street battle, and then versus battle. We didn't get to play versus battle, because we do only have one Saturn controller. Yep. But we did the thing. Joe, we know you're collecting 16 from a bomber man, so I just, just said this one. I appreciate it. Thanks. So we did the big brother, little brother thing, where we just passed the controller wagon for, but we got frustrated. Your turn. Your turn. Yeah. See if you can do this. So we, we started with movie battle, which is a weird mode where you do not get to choose who you play. Yeah. You're assigned. It'd be good for Jacob, because Jacob main line's guile. So he would have been totally fine. That's all you get to play is guile, because he is the main character in the movie. So you got to play through the game this mode as guile. So if you don't like guile, if you're not good with guile, two fucking bad. Yep. It's, oh, it's, it's like a choosjourn adventure kind of thing. It is because in between each battle, a kami, there's a gift of kami in this video transmission, where she's like, all right, well, there's the entrance to bison's hideout, but there's also a road, which would you like to check out? And then there's a menu and you choose bison's hideout or that road. Where should we go to the ship or to the black market? My favorite was what it asks you, how do you want to get to the hideout, the secret stealth boat or the truck? Because then, of course, everybody that you find, like, you have to fight him. You find, you find kin out by the shipyard, and he's trying to con some more street gangs and he, he won't talk to you unless you beat him first, and then the same for right. You've watched, you brought me at a prison, so I should give you information. Come get it. Okay. I get it. They wouldn't have a game if, if not for that, but, but come on. Yeah. Come on. Well, the difficulty curve or the spike in difficulty is pretty nuts, because I feel like this is, I mean, sure, all the characters had their same moves, but they're all basically the same speed. See, I was curious if that was an illusion, like, because they're all kind of the same size, but I do think you're right. I honestly do think that they're all roughly the same speed. Like, Zengief, obviously, I think is the biggest problem as far as speed goes, because Zengief is very strong, like his- Oh my God. He is the, he is the strongest character in the game. And he is strong in Street Fighter II, in Street Fighter II Turbo. He is strong, but that's countered by him being slow. He is a little slower in this game, but not enough. I don't have to make a difference. Yeah. Because you can't successfully, I mean, you, you can't successfully hide him. That's, that's not going to happen. And he will, if he hits you four times, that's it. Like, we counted. It's like, yeah, if he hits you four times, you're done. I played it as a Kuma. Kuma is like, I feel like a Kuma is meant to be the strongest character. His damage is a lot higher, and he has all the different moves. Zengief is still stronger than, than a Kuma. Yeah. It's crazy. Oh, absolutely. I mean, hit for hit, defense, speed, like everything. Yeah. Zengief. God tier. Yeah. God tier. Cannot. And I imagine playing as him is going to be trying to pull off his moves because his pile of drivers and stuff are really complicated. Right. When you're playing the fucking computer, like the only time he ever hit me was with these devastating. Oh, sure. So it was just like spinning pile of driver quarter of my life, spin around in his circle or whatever with his hands spinning around, like another quarter, and then his spinal like shadow suplex dead. Yeah. It's great. It was, oh, because I, I had to beat him by just like, I had to be a Kuma, and I had to use like my quick move that has the most reach to have more reach than him. So I could just hit his elbow or not. His ankle. That's his weak spot. Yeah. Just had to keep hitting, just his ankle before you get to me. 15 to 20 times. Sweet, the leg Johnny. Yeah. To beat him twice in a row. My favorite move of yours, because I was going to say that's pretty cheesy, but you were really, you were really strategic with it. That's how I have to play fighting games that don't, I can't do special move, but it wasn't cheesy because like you would mix it up because I was, I was, I thought it was really funny because it's like you would crouch down and he would get close and you do that kick, you kick him in the ankle and then you jump over him and then kick him on his other ankle and you like turn around and you jump over. It was really cool. And it's like, I can't really say anything because I couldn't fucking beat him. And I'm using like flash kick and sonic boom. It's like that. I can't win. So. Because I beat Zangief is the hardest behind him. Probably Sigott, Sigott's special moves are fast. Yeah. So I give him that, but like walking speed, indulging speed, just the same. And Embison was extremely easy compared to Zangief. He looked very easy. I don't think I lost against Embison. I think I lost once or twice against Sigott before I beat him and then just walked the floor with bison twice in a row. So the most interesting thing I think about this mode, about the movie, movie battle mode, is that you have unlimited continues, but there is a, there is a time limit. There's like a 49 minute time limit. You have to beat the game essentially in 49 minutes. I don't even know how, yeah, if that's time just right or not. Yeah. It doesn't, I don't think that it is. I think, I don't know if it uses like the internal Saturn clock or if it uses something else, I don't know. But I think that's a cool concept. Like that's, that's a, that's an interesting mode. It's almost like, it's, it's almost like a survival mode, but instead of there being waves, there's just a set time. I think it would be cool if it was like, if it was kind of like an unlimited mode where it's like, you have 50 minutes, just see how many dudes you can beat in that 50 minutes. I think that would be more fun than trying to do a storyline under a 50 minute constraint. Yeah, because I mean, you were plowing through it until Zangief. Yeah, it gets like, it's a hit a wall. Yeah. And even once you get over the Zangief wall, then it was dramatically easier. I mean, that was, Zangief was by far the hardest part of the whole game. He's, he's this game's Goro. Yeah. The other mode is just a simple, they call it, what, street battle. Yeah, where you just add your stand progression through a fighting game. Yeah, you choose your character, and then you have to fight all the other characters. It is long. Yeah, because I mean, you have to fight, I think you have to fight the entire roster, which is like what there's probably like 15, 15 fight or something like that. And the battles, I mean, the battles aren't short. And what does not help it is the loading times. That is honestly my biggest complaint about the game is that it takes forever to load. And I'm not 100% sure why, because it's not, I mean, it looks like, I'm not trying photo realism. I'm not trying to slam the game when I say this, but it looks like a Mortal Kombat game on the Genesis. Yeah, like it doesn't look that much better. It's not a big jump. It must be all the video stuff, but I say that, but then the video stuff is like a character selection and stuff like that. I don't understand why it needs to look. It looks like the 3DO, like, yeah, all the video doesn't look exceptional. No, no, no, I don't, I just don't understand why the loading times are what they are. I mean, it was long enough to where we would finish a battle, and then the loading screen would come up, and you and I, like, we've just turned the television and watch a commercial. Like, I was watching commercial. What's on a commercial and the Spurs versus... Yeah, some one. We'll watch this basketball game for both. Okay, loading's over. I mean, that's how long they were. That's a problem. I do honestly, as ridiculous and stupid as the game is, I think that is the biggest flaw is the loading screen. Absolutely. And then, of course, I beat it as Akuma. I couldn't beat it as anyone else. I needed a powerhouse to get through Zangief and through Segot. And, of course, he's the bonus character, which the actor, they dress up to be Akuma. It's just, it looks like it's an Asian man with a red man bun. Yeah. A tattered ghee. It's so bad. Yeah. And, of course, I guess he's the bonus character, so he doesn't have an ending. You just see him, turns his back on you, the end. That's it. Yeah, the character design's awful. It is, it is awful. And it is like, it takes one of the... This game takes one of the best things about Street Fighter, which, to me, is the art style, and it just completely throws it away. It just 100% makes it an ugly game. They just mortal combat it. It's pretty bad cosplay all the way, all the way through. It is. That is a really good way of putting it. Segot looks like, instead of having leg wrappings, it looks like he's wearing tube socks, pulled up, and then the feet were cut off. Which is probably exactly what the costume was. Yeah. Who did you say he looked like when we were watching it? He looks like the leader of the free world. He looks like Barack Obama. He looks like Barack Obama. To me, he looks like Barack Obama. With an eye patch. So, I mean, that was cool, I guess. Riot? I'm gonna tell you. I'm the leader of the chanaloo. Man, I tell you what, after I lost my first fight and he hit me with the Affordable Healthcare Act, I did not know what to do. I was like, "I was like, "Oh, look here. Oh, look here." I was like, "Segot, why did you compromise? I was with you, man. Why did you compromise on this?" You see the scar? You know, I have a pre-existing condition. So, I appreciate that. Hell, whatever. My premium's really high now. Really high. Oh, fuck. Because in the movie, he's trying to make, what, like, Bisonopolis? Yeah. Yeah. Bisonopolis. His right hand man is DJ of all fucking people. DJ Connor. That'd be great. That would be really good. Can someone please go through and head it out? DJ for the street fighter member, replace him with DJ Connor, like, Forrest Gump style? Or then what T-Hawk makes an appearance? What, okay, they shorten it from Tomahawk. But, of course, in the movie, like, Gile still calls him, "Thank you, T-Hawk." And he's like, five second appearance. Wing of the camera. That's T-Hawk. You put him in the movie for you. There you go, Capcom. Here's your other one. You're welcome. He's probably a toy, right? My favorite stage in the game. Yeah. Oh, that is pretty good. Is him Bison's, I guess, personal recorders? Yeah. Where he has the John Wayne Gacy painting? Because he has, like, what is, it's like a famous painting of the John Wayne Gacy that have, like, the clown, the sad clown, only it's repainted to have, like, and Bison's hat on it. Which is in the movie. We saw that. So, I'm glad that they put it in the game, apparently. And the big painting is the redone, Napoleon, like, on a horse. Yeah. And that's Redone Bison on the horse. Yeah. And I would love to have that. Yeah. I would love to have that as a print that has to exist, right? Surely. I'm going to look it up. I'm going to look it up after, after hours. There's another stage, E-Hondas, where there's belly dancing going on there, which is also, like, a four-frame GIF that just repeats. So, it's, like, it's weird because it's, like, the backgrounds are very similar to the Street Fighter series, you know, where it's just, like, people in the background, like, pumping their fists. And it's, like, that's all they do. But it's so weird in this game because it's, like, motion-captured people. It's not, like, a cartoon character in the background of, like, the Chinese market, like, on a bicycle. Yeah. It's, like, it's, like, a pudgy dude lying on a prison floor. That guy. He's just, like, lays been, like, "Go, yeah, we're all in prison, so we're friends." He's all sexy. He's got, like, his shirt unbuttoned all the way. For your place of sex, you're in the chai prison. Yeah. Sounds like you've said that before. Yeah. Let's open up a restaurant. Let's open up a restaurant called Sexy Die Prison. We'll, we'll cane you with flavor. All right. So, where do you think it's? Do you have achievements? No. I've got some. Okay. I'll try to think of some. All right. First achievement I've got is called, like, on, this is so unoriginal, but it's called Princess Kashmir, which I'm sure you remember from the season one episode of The Simpsons, where Homer almost commits adultery because there's a belly dancer named Kashmir, whom he is quite smitten with. So, in order to unlock Princess Kashmir, what you need to do is lose on Ehonda's stage because it has belly dancers. You need to succumb to the wiles of the four frames per second animated gif of the belly dancer and, and lose your battle versus Ehonda. My second achievement is called hamster style. And in order to unlock hamster style, you need to get a perfect with kin on any battle. As long as you get one perfect with kin, you unlock hamster style because the mocap actor for kin reminds me very much of Ben from orgasmo. He is the smaller dude who his Kung Fu style is hamster style. He's, I can't remember who he plays in a baseball, but he's got, I can't remember his name, but he's that guy. And whenever Ken like leaps through the air, he's walking, he's got his hands like his wrist up about at his temples. God, it is ridiculous. And then like whenever you win, he gives like the Japanese schoolgirl style V victory, like it is pretty damn ridiculous. Yeah, it's, it is goofy as fuck. And I, this was a legitimate thought that I had when I was playing this game, and was fighting Ken, I got my iPad, and I looked up the origins of the character Dan from the Street Fighter series because I was like, did they base Dan on Ken from Street Fighter, the movie, the game? They did not, but I, but I don't begrudge myself for thinking that they could have possibly done that because the similarities are uncanny. Let's see, I guess I've got Shadow Lou, Shadow don't. And that is just, you get that one review defeat and bison. And then how about, how about shadow shadow loser, where he loses and bison? The real housewives of Sri Lanka, and that is whenever you beat the game as a kuma, because his hair and his outfit, he just looks like we're in the real house. Tyler. Yes, Dave. I've got a few questions for you today. I've had a lot of fun. I've had a lot of fun recording this episode. I've had a lot of fun playing this game with you. This has been a very enjoyable experience. This has felt like a very season one tadpog to me, where we played the game together and then we recorded. This has been great. I've really enjoyed this. But before we close things out, I do have three important questions for you. The first of which, if you were to give this game a beard, that sums up how you feel about it. What kind of beard would it be? I would have to give it the beard of tears of raw Julius family at his funeral. Oh man. That's how, how just sat. How, how sad I am. I mean, that's creative. That is creative. It is a major bummer, but it is Tyler. If you were to give this game a pair of glasses, that sums up how you feel about it. What would it be and why is it the tear filled eyes of raw Julius children? I mean, it also worked double down on that reference. Or I can say the, like whenever you're really sick, like as a kid, we were super sick. You get that eye gunk. You can't open your eyes. Yeah. It's the the hungover coke haze from a a Thai massage parlor of Jean Claude Van Damme. Or like Jean Claude, like congealed cocaine and tears. He accidentally shot it in his own eye. I told you not to move, Kylie. Or the other bloodshot eye of Kylie Minogue. Kylie Minogue's pink eye. We're shocked. We have no idea where Jean Claude Van Damme came. We have no idea. We don't want to put anything on Kylie Minogue. We don't know what she's into, but God bless her. It's fine. Probably in the butt. I'm guess hopefully. That's Cammy Strong's answer. Tyler, I have one more question for you. I want to know how much is this game on Amazon? If you were to buy this game right now, used on Amazon, how much do you think you would pay for it? $7.99. $7.99. Tyler, actual retail value of street fighter, Colin, the movie, the game, used for Sega Saturn on Amazon at the time of this recording is $8.98. Very close. Very close. You are within the dollar, right? You said $7.99. Yeah. I call that a win. You get to spin the wheel twice. Man, I feel like we should take at least one call. Let's take our call. Let's take our call. And that call is from the Nintendo Power Hotline. They're calling us back. Wouldn't that be so cool if you called the 4.15 number and it was just like, it was just Josh Edward's voicemail and you're like, "Hey, call me back. I got a question about a little Nemo." All right, here's what you're going to do. Whatever you do, do not talk to flip the clown. He looks like one of John Wayne Gacy's fans. All right, here is a call. This is from 518, who says, "Motherfucking Tadpog, how's it going? My name's Drew and I'm a big fan of your show. I've been Benjamin Buttoning all the episodes and I'm almost past 200 and I gotta tell you, you guys put out a real quality product. You always tell us some great stories, so let me tell you a great story. The great nonfiction of story of how I became familiar with Tadpog. One day, one Christmas, Winter's Eve, I was walking down the street and there was a boy's choir. They were singing a beautiful song and what the lyrics sounded like was Tadpog. I assumed it was Latin and shrugged it off. The next day I was reading Hentai in the park with a lot of bad looks getting made at me. I looked at the clouds and it looked like it spelled Tadpog and I said, "What a strange coincidence." Well, that day later on, I was with my regular prostitute in our regular hotel and after she gave me my blowy, she said, "Hey, have you heard this podcast called Tadpog?" And I said, "I don't pay you for telling me about podcasts." And she said, "You don't pay me at all." And we laughed and I patted her on the head and laughed. That got me thinking. That's the last time I saw Kylie. I went home and googled this Tadpog website and came across a Reddit thread. On the Reddit thread, it said, "Look in the mirror three times and say the podcast name." And I did that and the lights went off and I felt something weird in my bathing suit area when I woke up in my bed but still feeling kind of weird in my bathing suit area. My phone said, "Hey, you have a podcast to listen to." And ever since, it's been fake. So thanks for all the great content and I hope you enjoy the story. And remember guys, you always got a riskit to get the biscuit. Oh, that's what I call my daughter sometimes. That sounds weird. Yeah, that's done. Because she was six weeks early and one of the nurses referred to her, "Oh, she's in the incubator. She's as warm as a biscuit." So since then, we call her biscuit sometimes. But thank you, Drew. I'm assuming it's the same Drew. Probably the same Drew. We only have two Drew listeners. And that was not the other Drew. That wasn't Barbara, you're bearing Drew Roland. So thank you, Drew. And you know what? I love about that story. It sounded like a really dirty episode of Dr. Who. Like it sounded like one of those one-off episodes that they do where it's like, they see like context clues that don't have, they don't mean anything until later on in the episode, or it's like, "Oh, that's what dad pog is." Bad wolf. Yeah, exactly. Well, thanks for calling. And if you're the same Drew who gave us the wonderful comics, thank you. Yeah. I'm glad we're making somebody happy. That was nice. That was good. Let's save one more. I think we have time for one more. All right. Let's see what we got. Here is a call from 908. Google Translate says something about tattoo dog. Motherfucking tat pog. I think I'm doing that, right? Nailed it. This is Mike. I'm a first-time caller. Nice. I tried at least like 10 times to submit a five-star iTunes review, and it's just not going through. Like, I hit submit and it just doesn't work. I don't know why I give up. I don't ever love them. I don't know why it's not going through. But in lieu of that, I thought I would call. And shadow over that. I'll just tell you guys that I love the podcast. It's great. You guys are amazing. I've listened to it maybe nonstop while I'm doing work for the last few months. It's great. We've warped them. I don't really have a question, but I do have a request because I've listened some older episodes and multiple times. You guys have mentioned that you should do the old Simpson games. And I'm sure it's on the huge eventually list. I'm going to put my vote and say you guys should do the... You've got to do that then. Jesus. You've got to do a Simpson game in the near future. Just because that'd be really good. That'd be really good because a lot of them are really terrible. Oh, they're awful. And I remember when I was younger, I would like emulate it by versus the space goons and I remember the world and got like 10 seconds. I was like, what the fuck is this? It sucks. Yeah. Yeah. Weird one. There's like an itchy and scratchy golf game. You wouldn't dig real deep. There's some real garbage looking Game Boy games. Even some of the newer stuff like Simpson skateboarding and Simpson wrestling on PlayStation. Oh, what is that wrestling game? Yeah, I need to. But yeah, Simpson's games. You guys should do that. That was my request. And that's it. Keep up the good work, guys. And I will keep listening to Kudos. Bye. Thank you, Mike. I'm down. I'm down to do a Simpson series. Yeah, I am too. We've talked about it before. I think it's a good idea. The games are awful. I mean, Bart versus the Space Mutants, I think is... It was one of the biggest disappointments I had as a child running a game because I love the Simpsons. And I think it was the first Simpsons game. It's the first one I remember. It's the first one I remember. I don't know. There might have been one on an earlier system before NES that we just weren't privy to. But I remember getting it. And yeah, I didn't know until I was an adult that there's more than one stage to that game. Yeah, I remember I had played just had no clue what the fuck was going on. Like, I mean, none whatsoever. Like, you can paint some stuff purple and then you have like cherry bombs and then the game's over. That's it. Yeah, Bart versus the world, I remember more fondly. I remember I remember being disappointed, but not as disappointed. Because when I played it, I was like, this is bad, but at least it's not Bart versus the Space Mutants. Yeah, I played Bart's nightmare. I never played that. So much for Super Nintendo, you had to click like his six or seven homework pages. Yeah. Oh, I played that so much and it was so fucking hard. I don't think I ever got a page. I came very close on the itchy and scratchy level, but fuck, that game was so difficult. I did play and owned. Let's see. It was called Bart Simpson's Escape from Camp Deadly. I had to look it up. That is one of the Game Boy games. I remember playing that. I actually liked that. I do not know if it's because I had played the NES Simpsons games and they were awful. So like by comparison, it might just have been one of those things where it's like, yeah, yeah, this is good. This is good. There was another one called Bart versus the Juggernaut, which I vaguely remember. I'm down for this. We should do this Simpsons series. Yeah, sounds good. I mean, it's going to be miserable that we should do it. No, it's not. That's a thing. It's fine. Anything else? Anything else at all? I do have one more thing. Okay. Do we have a stinger? Maybe. Because if we don't, I could save it for a stinger. We've done that before. Okay. What's the first stinger then? All right. The usual thing, everybody, you can find the show on iTunes, Stitcher, or SoundCloud. So don't miss the next episode. Hopefully, we'll be doing our final act playing installment of Little Fears. That's the game plan. I hope that happens. Because I'm ready to play. Yeah. Ready to finish it up. And let's see. We still love and need even Mike, thank you for trying that. We still need those five-star iTunes reviews. It was obvious that iTunes was like, no. No, they don't. You want to give them a three-star? Give them a three-star. That's fine. Five-star? No. No, no, no, no. But please, go to iTunes. Find Tapbox. Subscribe with the show. Five-star rating and write a review. It helps us substantially climb the iTunes rankings. So, and that means we get seen and heard by more people. It's a compounding effect. Which we want. I don't know if you want. You might not want that. But we want it. So, if there's, I guess what you want to show, a game you want us to play or a Patreon request, whatever that is, put that in your written review and we promise we'll get to whatever you include eventually. Don't worry, guys. Like Tyler said, we're going to be back. In the meantime, you can always find us on tadpog.com. That is where the show notes live. Do you want to check out some of the Street Fighter videos we were talking about? Those will be in the show notes at tadpog.com. You can also find us on Facebook, where at facebook.com/ tadpog. There's a lot of cool people there doing a lot of cool shit. If you have any specific feedback for this episode, that is the best place to let that be heard. Do you like the fact that we talked about a video game today? I hope that you did. I mean, I enjoyed it. It's, you know, we're getting, I'll be using back into it. It feels weird. You can also find us on Twitter. We are at tadpog_podcast. It's cumbersome. I realize. Thank you to everybody who has been retweeting us. I really do appreciate it. It helps spread the word, especially our episode announcements because that is, that is the best. We have a Patreon. I know we mentioned this a lot, but we just recorded and released a bonus episode to Patrons. Patrons exclusive, where Tyler tells a very, very, very, very, very gross story, which has turned the stars. And I lived it. Yeah, which has turned the stomachs of many, a hardened tadpog loyalist. That was the lucky. He was just like eating a frost. He was like, yeah, yeah. So I know that we have some new, we have some new donors. Unfortunately, I don't have the list in front of me. So hopefully on the next episode, we can, we can thank you, but know that we noticed and we really do appreciate it. And I hope that you enjoyed the bonus episodes. If you want to listen to those, all it really takes is a donation of a dollar, just a dollar a month to get you access to all of the bonus episodes that we've done. True. So and all the future ones, as long as you stay a donor. So we hope that you enjoy it, because we are probably our filthiest on those episodes. Yeah, that is saying 100%. That's saying a lot considering that I asked my wife recently, if I needed to tone it down, because she now works with your mom. Yep. And she thoroughly embarrassed my dad the other day. Please tell that. Because my dad came into now, my mom and Nikki's workplace. And Nikki told my dad, like, heard you on the show the other day, and my dad just blanched. I wouldn't have said those things if I would have known you were listening. She said he hurried out of the office. [laughter] She also, I don't know if she told you this, but she said that your mom thought it was hilarious. Oh, yeah. My mom and my mom's, like, right hand person, like they were both just dying laughing or they were crying, the way my dad reacted. So it's, I mean, like shaming me, it's hard to shame my dad. So she told, Nikki told me that several of her co-workers, sons, listen to Tadpah. That is what I said, do I need to chill a little bit? Do I cool down? What I say? Like, am I, I don't want to embarrass you. Like, I don't want to embarrass you. She's like, no, I don't care. And they, my co-workers don't listen, their sons do. And she said, so I don't know if she, like, felt like a little bit of celebrity at the office. What is like an office like six people? So it's like a two of those six people have sons who listen to the show. One of those people, one of those six people has a son who does the show with me that is you. So that's how everybody knows her at work, if pretty much it is like, she's the wife of the guy who does a show with Tyler. She's, but Nikki told me, don't worry, all of her co-worker sons have told their respective moms, do not listen to the show. So I think we're good. They got us. They got us. Good. Yeah, they got our back. So thanks guys. If you're still listening. So, Patreon, that's the last thing I said. If you, you can mail us stuff if you want, like, Drew did today, comic book Drew. New Drew. New Drew, Drew, Drew 2.0. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, I'm not. He just, he just, no, like, one is silver and the other's gold. We still love Drew. It's fine. And one's silver and the power pit. Where's into this new Drew? It's fine. We still, well, you're so great though. This new Drew comes in on his skateboard and his hat turned backwards. But if anything, you want to send us, please send that to tatbox studios, care of Nicole Nance, PL box, 3785, Paducah, Kentucky, 4202. Then we also have an Instagram, that's tatpog_podcast. I have pictures of what Drew sent us up there. I've been lagging a little bit lately on that because I just don't have a ton of content to put up there, but I need to work on it. That's all right, man. If you just publish, publish good stuff. Yeah. If there's nothing, if there's nothing good to publish, just don't, just don't do it. Okay. Right. No pressure yourself. So in our theme song, just move to the skateboard drive, link to that track. We've held the show notes at tatpog.com. How should we close this out? We should close it out as... Sigata Bama? Yeah. You read my mind. I also want to just point out, before we close it, if you want to hear old Drew, old Drew has a podcast. It's true. We'll make it up to him by plugging it. Exactly. That's what you're reading about. Houghton Heroes, which they must have a new episode coming up soon, because I know it's been a little bit since the last episode. So looking forward to hearing that and check it out if you get a chance. Our episode of Low Decart Gaming is also up now. Yep. Which is Paul or Cool is a co-host on Low Decart Gaming on the Low Decart podcast, and he sent me a message that says, "That episode is essentially 90 minutes of rambling, and he loves it." I'm glad that we could bring the tatpog charm to another podcast. Just infect other other podcasts, the legacy virus, the video game podcast. Yes. So until next time, drop a little gab horn. Tyler, I've got a little segment that we've stolen from Sandwich Pope Phil Hawkins, which he introduced to the show, but I've re-appropriated. This is YouTube comments brought to you by the entire cast of Cool Runnings. So what I've done is I've scoured YouTube for gameplay videos of Street Fighter the movie. I've collected my personal favorite, and here they are. Number one, Van Dam lives beside me in Hong Kong. Number two, that's it. No, like that. That's it. How good of a neighbor is he? That's it. Just one line. That's great. Number two, I remember my uncles used to play this on Saturn when I was a gamer baby and child. Not Sega Saturn, actual Saturn. Just on this, they flew to Saturn. Number three, I'd pay $2,000 for another Sega Saturn, misplaying virtue cop in Street Fighter, and this other game forgot what it's called, but one of the old Chinese guy turns around and rips a fart as one of his attacks. My favorite part is I want to play the game called Virtue Fighter, which you go through and fight all seven deadly sins and replace them with a heavenly virtue. I don't know if you want to bleep this out because it's a quote, but here's the next one. Only fags play Blanca. Here's another one. The music is great in this game. You are just letting the stigma. This game has affect your judgment. This was for a root view. There was a YouTube review of the game. This game was actually ran on the Super Street Fighter turbo engine, so it is technically a good game. It was the arcade that was terrible, not the console version. Just thought you needed to know. Thank you, Internet. Why not? You've saved this person from me. Oh, God, I love it. That I love that because because this game ran on the Super Street Fighter turbo engine, and it is technically a good game. Fuck you. Fuck you. It's spelled technically right. You know, shit. All right. Here's another one. This is the last one. This kind of isn't lying. Well, I don't know if you need the Yoshi. This one out too. I'd say let it roll because these are not our thoughts. Right. Exactly. These are not our thoughts. This is just our verbatim quote. It's like when you're a kid and you can't wait to go home and tell your mom that Robbie said fuck and got in trouble. I didn't say it. I'm just saying verbatim what he said. So here's the last one. Actually, this game isn't a port of the arcade version. Capcom Japan took the arcade version, added new sprites being that DJ and Blanco weren't in the crappy arcade version and got rid of this crappy character named Blade. While it's still not the best Street Fighter out there, it is better slash balanced than the arcade counterpoint. Arcade counterpoint so far. So far pretty good. Yeah. Thanks to those Japanese. So there we go. Just a proof that YouTube is a hive of scum and bility.
