Also reporting in as hype for D4 PC and new DBZ. I was never really into DBZ as a kid but the DBZ Abridged series dragged me back in, in a big way.

Side note: Huzzah for years more work for Team Four Star!

Machamp is about 10 times cooler than Big Daddy Marduk.


Machamp is the best pokemon because he wrestles and wears a championship belt and has 4 arms. 4 is like twice as good.

Yea Kai isn't really a new show, it's a fix of Z where they throw out most of the filler, make the style better, that kinda stuff. It's been forever since the last proper Dragonball show.

The problem with Kai is they took out the episode where Piccolo and friends go to get their driver's licenses which while filler is probably the best single episode of DBZ.

About sixteen minutes into podcast #22. Matt and Woolie were at Magfest and met a guy who called them Pat and Chewie. Fast forward to last week's and this week's podcast.

It culminated into Chewie and gently caress Face. So yeah.

Question for Matt or anyone who played a lot of the ps1+ era MK games, why do so many people (Don't mean just the Zaibatsu with this. I've heard it from some MK fanboys I know) act like Liu Kang is some super paragon that's just stratospheres above everyone else? Like I know he canonically beat the villains in the old poo poo but even then they're usually pretty close fights, and almost none of that happened in MK9's versions of the story so he never had a chance to grow so powerful. It's weird hearing Pat talk about how it's dumb that Jax and Raiden are winning fights against him when he never really got up to the heights of his old protagonist powers and everyone else has had years of training and experiences different from what they were pre-retcon.

MK9 didn't exactly treat Liu Kang as some end all be all hero man who could beat anyone. Hell, who did he even beat in MK9/X's version of the timeline? Shang Tsueng? That dude was a joke from the get go. Had to call in a ringer for his own tournament and he called in Henson Puppet.

Now Johnny Cage, there's a hero.

Plus, Raiden beat Liu Kang in the last game. It's not surprising that he could do it again.

Raiden held his own against Shao Kahn in that same story. Pissed off "You're literally the last thing in my way" Shao Kahn. Raiden can probably hang with Liu Kang.

EDIT: God I forgot that Shao Kahn just loving walked off getting his heart exploded. I'm glad MKX is at least just a tiny tiny bit more grounded than MK9. There's like talks about politics and poo poo and nobody lets Sindel talk for more than a few seconds. It's truly a golden age in Earthrealm.

Wasn't he super-juiced by the elder gods?

I thought that happened after he held him off for a bit. Maybe I'm misremembering the order of events there. I thought Raiden beat off Liu Kang then scrambled to stay alive against Shao khan and THEN the elder gods finally decided to do something.

Yeah, that's what happened. Liu Kang died, Shao Kahn shows up and beats the poo poo out of Raiden like in the intro, showboats about merging realms, long enough for the rules to be considered broken and have the Elder Gods intervene.

I'm kind of surprised they were even able to remaster the show, unless the cameras they shot the show with was HD they must've preserved the original cels, which is crazy considering the animation industry's habit of burning most of the pencilwork and cleaning out the celluloid for re-use.

Yeah I thought sure it was new art based solely on how good it looks. Dragonball Kai is still incredibly valuable for the recut alone though.

Yea gently caress it a zombie demon army wants to enslave earth because we pussed out in a universe wide fighting tournament and mr skullface dictator hates pussies.
