 Click here to jump to the latest update! Sushi Striker: The Way of Sushido is a puzzle-fighting game where you beat the snot out of people by eating sushi from magical Pokemon creatures. This game was developed and published by Nintendo, in cooperation with Indieszero, and was released worldwide for the Nintendo 3DS and Nintendo Switch on June 8, 2018. I will be using the Switch version for this LP. Story You play as an orphan named Musashi who, after discovering a love of sushi, sets out to spread that love and sushi to everyone; even if it means toppling a powerful empire that seeks to control all the world's sushi. The LP This will be an semi-informative hybrid LP consisting of both screenshots and video. I say semi-informative mostly to cover for anything wrong I might say about the game's mechanics as I'm not as well prepared as I usually am for this LP. I kinda just wanna share this wacky adventure with you and not worry too much about being really good at this game. Spoiler Policy Please don't spoil anything story related that has not been covered yet.

Update 1 - The Taste of Destiny The first thing we see after booting the game is the opening. It's just a musical number paired mostly with shots from the in-game cutscenes, but it does give us an idea of what we're in for. Video: Opening (Click the CC button for subtitles) There's also an alternate cut of the opening that can be viewed if you sit on the title screen for a minute. Video: Alternate Opening ♪ BGM: Title Screen ♫ So without further ado, let's get started. Before we can actually begin, we need to choose our main character's appearance. I'm going to pick girl Musashi because I like her better. Video: Prologue Oh this is easy, it's oil right? Huh? Well I guess that makes sense considering the fish situation. I'll admit I'm not really a seafood person, so I'd be okay with not having sushi ever again. Now if this was world without cows, that would be a different story. I'd die on a hill for beef. POWs were forced to eat gas station sushi; and yes they fought by throwing plates at each other. Uh oh, does this mean I'm going to jail for this post? Did I mention this game has a jamming soundtrack? ♪ BGM: Musashi's Theme ♫ ♪ BGM: Early Republic - Shrine Grove ♫ Here's the overworld map. We'll be using it navigate the world by moving along this linear path and selecting levels to play. Technically, the first three spots aren't considered levels since the first one is the intro and the next two are also more cut scenes and tutorials. Anyways let's move on to the next area for another cutscene, and this one is animated like my Japanese animes. Video: The First Bite What's so weird about picking fruit? Unless it's some of kind of fruit that's bad for you like horse-apples. I really hope you get a tummy ache, ya jerk! Tag yourself, I'm the girl on the left. Says the dork who just gobbled up a whole basket's worth. I AM NOT A TRASH EATER! Now if you'll excuse me, my cheeseburger Hot Pocket Slideshots are ready. That is a very 'What am I doing with my life' face. Like for real, I'm having trouble remembering what your facial features look like. Anime boy alert, 6 o'clock! Is...is that a plate on his head? If there's one thing I would complain about in this game, it's that the sound mixing for these animated cutscenes isn't that great. Most times the background music will drown out characters like Franklin and there's nothing I can do about it. Like for real if there weren't subtitles I would have serious trouble figuring out what he's saying in this scene.  I'm calling the cops! I will now dedicate my life to fighting against the atrocity that is sushi! Cheese-n-crackers! I'm gonna be seeing that in my nightmares for now on. Well I think you're a cutie pie!  That's a bold claim. Is it better than a cheeseburger Hot Pocket Slideshot?  Video: Tutorial 1 - Eating ♪ BGM: Franklin's Theme♫ Alright so, the biggest part of this game is linking colored plates to create plate stacks which will be used in battle. We'll get into combat later, so for now we just need to focus on getting used to linking plates. To do this we can simply touch a plate and draw a line through similar colored plates to link them. (Surprisingly you can play through the whole game with just the touch screen. Getting a stylus is highly recommended.) Alternately, you can move the left stick to move the selection cursor to the plate you want, hole down the A button, and move the left stick to link plates. It's not the ideal way to play, but since I'm capturing this with the Switch docked I don't have much of a choice. We have to practice linking plates a couple more times. When it comes to moving from one plate to the next you can move in the standard up, down, left, right, and diagonals. Also the plates don't have to be right next to each other. If there's a empty gap between plates, you can jump the gap to get to the next plate which is why you can make this move in the shot below. If you're still having trouble figuring out what you can and can't grab, linkable plates will flash white. Now we're talking! Time to chow down on some sushi sandwiches! What do we got here, cucumber rolls, egg sushi, creamy shrimp, and pineapple? Well of course we gotta have something sweet from time to time! In addition to sushi we'll also find fruit in the lanes, and they have the added ability to heal Musashi's HP after eating them. It doesn't heal for much so don't depend on them too much. So we have to practice linking plates again, but this time there's actual sushi on them. I guess the only new concepts introduced here is that you only have 7 seconds to link plates and that it's not what's on the plate that determines if you can link it or not, but the of color of plate which means we can link plates with egg sushi and cucumber rolls just fine. We'll explore how the different types of sushi play a role in battle later. For now let's just get through this tutorial. As for the 7 seconds rule... You'll notice as you're grabbing plates that the blue rim around your current position with start to blink and turn red signaling you're running out of time, and if you take too long you'll lose all the plates you grabbed. Losing plates in a game like this is not something you want to do too often. In case you're wondering what happens if you hit the end of a lane and haven't moved to another in time, you don't lose the plates you've linked but you stop linking plates and get whatever you grabbed. For example, I linked 3 plates and hit the edge of the middle lane, so my combo ends but I get the three plates. Anyways we eat some sushi and the tutorial ends. ♪ BGM: Sushi For All♫ You got a weird thingy What is this? Some kind of gear? There's no hole in the center. Does it do anything or is this some kind of knick knack? What!? You can't just hand me something and not tell me what it does! How is that useful?! Well it can't be fishy, there's no fish in this world. Could I interest you in reading my Sushi Literature? Though I gotta admit, these sushi sprites seems like a good answer to world hunger. Now if only there were other food sprites. Video: Tutorial 2 - Combat ♪ BGM: Looming Threat♫ Whoa! Really really big man. It's like he fell straight out of a wrestling promo. This dude looks like he's getting ready to pelvic thrust into Franklin; and then he does so. I'm not lying see for yourself. You got that right. You can probably tell I'm trying to avoid using portraits for Kodiak as he's just that big of a man that his portraits might as well be a 80x80 shot of his pecs. The screen goes dark and then some quick flashes of white accompanied by what sounds like Franklin getting beaten up. OH NO MY ANIME BOY! I thought these guys were suppose to fight with sushi! What do you expect me to do? Kodiak could easily put me in a headlock and slam me into oblivion! ♪ BGM: Battle VS Soldier♫ Not pictured is that Kodiak's sprite is wearing overalls and has a mallet, so we can confirm that some sushi sprites have a sense of fashion. Alright, time to get serious. So the sushi field has had a few things added since we were last here. For starters, there is now a side of the arena for your opponent which comes with its own sushi lanes. In the center of the arena is a special lane named the 'Shared Lane' and as its name implies both strikers can link sushi from that lane. It can come in handy when you need to keep a combo going, but it's first come first served so be careful. Another cool thing about the shared lane is that both teams' first sushi sprite influences what kind of sushi shows up on this lane, which is why there are sushi that will not show up on our side of the field like Inari Sushi, orange slices, and strawberries. At the end of each side is a little table that I will dub 'The Stack Table'. Here is where all you plate stacks go, and it can hold up to five stacks at one time. So let's go ahead and fill all five slots with plates. While watching the video, you might see a glowing plate from time to time; well that's a special plate that spawns when you link 7 plates or more. The great thing about it is that it can link with anything. (It also provides a damage bonus and plate protection, but we'll talk about that later.) So now we have all the slots on the stack table filled and I have a sixth on the way and you're probably wondering what gonna happen when I finish collecting plates. Well, what happens is that the new stack will move all the other stacks one slot to the right and the right most stack will be thrown at the opponent for damage. This is known as an 'autoshot'. So to manually throw a stack, you need to either touch the stack you want and swipe up, or use the left stick to have Musashi stand in front of the stack you want to throw and hit the X button. Using the left stick method is a bit fiddly because you'll snap back to the center after a second so that can lead to you sometimes throwing the wrong stack. Ah right, you'll want to— Aw crap... ♪ BGM: Lost a Match♫ Not exactly how I imagined our first sushi battle to go down. With our heroine defeated, what fate lies for Franklin and Musashi? Tune in next time to find out! Before we go, let's examine all the new stuff we experienced today. New Sushi Sprites #079: Ara-o Secret: A pure fighter with serious attention to detail. Skill: ??? #029 Wani-o Secret: Creates a vacuum when it takes a breath Skill: Buff Buffet - Allows user to link any plates regardless of color! New Sushi #001 Cucumber Roll The soft squish of the rice is but a prelude to the cucumber's crisp, satisfying crunch. #002 Egg Seductive slices of a layered-egg omelet rest ever delicately atop fluffy rice pillows. #009 Creamy Shrimp A bouquet of tender shrimp cuddled up next to a loving dollop of mayonnaise. #015 Pineapple A gentle, tender sweetness beckons from within its slightly sour acidity.

Oh boy, this game. I followed it when it was announced, it seemed like it'd be really fun, and then I just kind of forgot completely about it until now. Needless to say, I'll be following this LP and see what I missed, maybe I'll even get it myself! What I can see from this first update beyond the obvious is that this game really likes references, doesn't it? The opening had what was very clearly A CHAR and then in the update itself we have Wani-o repping Nintendo and its well-known mascot. Also, Kojiro looks very similar to a certain other Kojiro also partly owned by Nintendo, though that one is better known as James this side of the world.

Update 2 - How I Met My Sushi Sprite When we last left Musashi, she encountered a strange man named Franklin who offered her some of the forbidden food, sushi. After eating the sushi, Musashi was delighted by its taste and asked Franklin to stop by her village to feed the other orphans. On the way, they were spotted by an imperial soldier and soon found themselves surrounded by the Imperial Army. Among the troops was the ripped general, General Kodiak, who demanded Franklin surrender his sushi sprite, Ara-o. Franklin refused, so he got beat up; and then Musashi stepped up to defend Franklin, and got beat up. The story continues just after Musashi's defeat. Video: Meeting Jinrai What are you goofballs doing? Is this Kodiak's idea of 'securing the perimeter'? Me in the back making awkward kissy faces at my anime boy. Good question, wish he would have told us!! I WANNA GET RIP'D! I HEARD THAT... Would've been nice to know that up front, but whatever, now we can have sushi whenever we want! Everyone, lend me your sushi so that I may make the Sushi Dama! (That's Sushi Bomb to your westerners) Aww, Jinrai is so adorable.Anyways, we're not only officially a sushi striker but we also have a mission to rescue Franklin from the Empire's clutches; but I feel like we're forgetting something important. Oh well, let's go save Franklin! ♪ BGM: Republic ♫ Now that we've finished the basic tutorial, we have reached stage 1-1 and our first real sushi fight. Every stage has one of these info boxes that let's us know a few things like a vague idea of who we'll be fighting, and judging by the silhouette it's a generic soldier. We can also see that their team consist of one sushi sprite, as well as, the reward we will get when we win, and some score keeping stats like grade, high score, and stars. The stars are side objectives that you can complete during the match and they reward you with bonus experience, so getting as many as you can is a good idea. In these early stages, the star objectives are very easy to get. Video: Tutorial - Skills ♪ BGM: Soldier Scene ♫ To be honest. I'm actually three sushi sprites in a trench coat. I guess Jinrai's a really popular sushi sprite. One-of-kind, baby. ♪ BGM: Preparing for a Battle ♫ This is the pre-battle screen. Here we can get information about the enemy and we're able to swap out which team of sushi sprites we'll take into battle. Since Jinrai's our only sprite, there isn't really any reason to swap teams. In the team box, we see Jinrai starts out at level 1 and his skill, 'Sushi Bonanza' is also level 1. A sushi sprite's level and skill level have different methods of leveling up. A sprite's level goes up by getting experience in battle while the skill level levels up by other means that I'll talk about at a later time. Over on the right side, we see that Pvt. Unger has 2100 HP and is using an level 1 otter-like sprite named Uszo. Notice the fireball icon around Uszo's skill Super Scout, this is to denote that the skill is at max level meaning you cannot level up Super Scout beyond level 1. Another thing we can do is change out our 'Striker Specs' or equipment basically. We don't have anything to equip so we'll ignore that for now. We can hit R to get more information on everyone's skills. We'll learn about Jinrai's Sushi Bonanza in the actual battle, so let's take a moment to see what Uszo can do. Allows only the opponent's image to displayed on the live monitor! What does this all mean? Not much at all, the live monitor, as far as I can tell, is just a little window that shows characters up close while they're fighting and nothing more. (Check my current avatar.) So basically, Super Scout is an otter-ly useless skill. Last but not least, we can hit R again to see what kind of sushi is being brought to the table. I'm not too concerned about what the enemy has access to, but it looks like Jinrai's sushi leans heavy on the cyan side so we can probably get a lot of big stacks going if we focus on grabbing cyan plates. The downside to this is that cyan is the weakest plate of all, but for Pvt. Unger we can easily knock him out with just cyan plates. ♪ BGM: Battle VS Soldier♫ For reference, you hit Up for the first(top) sprite, left/right for the second(middle), and down for the third(bottom). Take note of the line up of plates. These plates go from weakest(cyan) to strongest(gold). Alright there a few more new things added since our battle with Kodiak, namely we can actually see the health bars this time. Next to each health bar is second meter known as the Sushi Jubilee Meter. Eating sushi fills the meter and when it's full you'll automatically enter 'Sushi Jubilee'. (Think hyper mode) While in this mode, higher quality sushi enters the lanes, and on top of that any stacks thrown deals 50% more damage. (More on this later.) There's also the Live Monitor which I already mentioned, and the score counter. I'll be honest, I haven't really tried to pin down what all goes into the scoring system in this game; but all I do know is that if you want a good score, winning the fight quickly helps. Now I remember Ara-o mentioning something important just before Kodiak interrupted him, but what was it...  Oh yeah! Let's try that by stacking cyan plates. After eating about 26 plates of sushi, Jinrai's skill bar is full. So let's hit it and see what happens. Sushi Bonanza turned all the plates on the field a lime green which we scoop up most of them. When the stack reaches the table, it takes on the color of the strongest plate in the chain. In this case, it was dark blue which is pretty good for a level 1 sprite. We also ate enough sushi to enter Sushi Jubilee. Now our plate stacks have a x1.5 marking to show that they'll hit extra hard when thrown. We unload all our plates and win the fight. ♪ BGM: Won a Match♫ Here's the results screen. After completing each stage you'll receive a letter grade based on your performance. The letter you get is determined by your score. Getting higher ranks mostly comes down to how fast can you win the fight. We also knocked out all three star objectives in one go! And Jinrai leveled up! His defense stat increases as well as gains an improvement to his sushi lineup. A sprite's defense is mostly just a stat that contributes to Musashi's overall HP, and leveling up the sushi lineup basically means that weaker sushi is being replaced with stronger sushi. (Be sure to keep track of which colors are altered.) On top of that, Musashi herself has gained a level which means she gets more HP and can throw a little harder. ♪ BGM: Musashi's Theme ♫ So, can I mail-order sushi sprites from it?? Heh, order your first sushi sprite within the next five days and we'll throw in another one absolutely FREE! What a deal! We're practically giving them away!! Well I dunno about you but I'm stuffed from all this content... and sushi. Tune in next time for when Musashi goes plate to plate with her... rival(?) New Sushi Sprites #001: Uszo Secret: Has a playful face but is a bit wild. Skill: Super Scout - Allows only the opponent's image to be displayed on the live monitor! #100: Jinrai Secret: Said to conceal a power of the highest order. Skill: Sushi Bonanza - All user's plates turn the same color, allowing maximum linkage! New Sushi #003: Inari Sushi A salty-sweet pouch of friend tofu skin with a nugget of rice curled up inside. #004: Edamame A salty-sweet snack you'll keep coming back to like the tide's ever ebb and flow. #007: Squid Well known and eagerly anticipated for its signature bouncy toothsomeness. #011: Shrimp Its slightly reddish, regal flesh is the very definition of refinement. #014: Bonito Boldly eating a thick cut of bonito atop rice is beyond stylish. #018 California Roll Wistful memories of sun-kissed days and sea-swept nights linger with every bite. #023 Scallop Delicious, surely, but even just looking at its juicy, shimmering flesh is transcendent.

Oh! Looks like Franklin's name in the Japanese version is Yukichi, which is neat since both of their namesake's (is that the right term for it?) faces are on the US 100 dollar bill and the Japanese 10k yen note respectively. I've been enjoying Sushi Strikers since I first impulse-purchased it in a different thread, but can't help but wonder if I would've had more fun with it on the 3DS. I can barely get good combos going on the docked mode, and I've never been fond of smudging the touchscreen with my grubby fingers.

That's the saddest thing I've read in a while. For me, I like salmon best, though yellowtail is a close second. As for cooked sushi, eel is amazing. Especially in a roll with some cucumber. (Fite me, jobbo.)

Mackerel. I love the standard tuna and salmon and all, but mackerel is something a little different. It's nice and salty and fishy and has that pretty shiny skin on the side. Don't know if it's easier to find in the States, but here in Australia if you find a place that actually bothers to serve mackerel, it's probably at least a little higher quality than your average sushi train, too.
