holy shit, i never actually read the byakko vs vyx thing and just did. that shit is awesome haha, cant believe something like that happened. werent you worried he might pull a knife or have some random buddies or some shit? id never entertain the idea of meeting someone im arguing with online for fear of shit like that happening. id at least bring someone else to make sure. reminds me of when my friend went to go fight somebody from another high school over a facebook fight and get jumped by the guys dad (who was wielding a baseball bat) and his fucking dog, who bit him so bad it put him in the ER for a bit.

Byakko, whats your favorite jojo character and why?
I mean style, design, powers, the whole thing.

If you could get a piece of clothing from any anime or comic ( without any fancy powers, i mean just a replica of something that exists in those) what would you get?


If you had a special move what would its name be?

Is there any "personal canon" you have for something game wise ? ( I mean something that you believe must have happened even if the game never tells you this )


What was your favorite darkstalker?

Do you still watch anime? What was the last two cartoon shows you watched if yes.( if not then maybe the tv shows)


Whats your favorite mugen thing? ( char, stage, etc)

[Thagr8test]

do you have $8 I can borrow and pay back on the 33rd?

[Legendary DeMoNk@I]

Didnt know this whole time you were Byakko....so why the name change and what does DKDC mean?

[Gritsmaster]

Holy shit I just read the Byakko vs Vyx thread as well.

My only question is: Where do I sign up for the Byakko fanclub?

thoughts on this character that is apparently you

[Byakko]

Actually, for the record, I'm all about just shooting the shit in this thread, but when I did it back then you seemed uncomfortable. If you're OK with being on the spotlight again, and people asking you dumb questions, go for it, and Cyanide can be after you

Yeah, I was weirded out by being the first on the sudden change of topic and some of the strange questions, but I'm willing to play along. Not sure I'll hold for 3 days though.

I was going to ask if you were going to ghost-edit any of your posts here during your 3 days but you already did and it only took you 1 post, so lol.

Hey, screw you, I only add minor details and clarification on some sentences.

werent you worried he might pull a knife or have some random buddies or some shit?

Nah, that doesn't happen around here. And even if it did, I'm the vindictive and brutal one here, crazy people be damned. I've had run-ins with a couple of crazy dogs before. (one got hurled into the river)

Byakko, whats your favorite jojo character and why?

After the anime, straight arrow Sunlight Yellow Overdrive Jonathan. I'm not too big on Stands, in term of fighting it's the same as how I hate mechas, it's not the actual guy doing the fighting. They rather rely on unique powers, and the situation they come up in, but it doesn't last enough for me to get attached to it. It's all about the writing.

If you could get a piece of clothing from any anime or comic ( without any fancy powers, i mean just a replica of something that exists in those) what would you get?

From a game, Tir McDohl's head scarf from Suikoden 1.

If you had a special move what would its name be?

I'll just pick a random move from one of the characters I made up for potential fighting games : Saiganken (rock-smashing fist). For a special. For a super, I'll go with Tiger King Quake.

Is there any "personal canon" you have for something game wise ? ( I mean something that you believe must have happened even if the game never tells you this )

I'm no stranger to trying to making sense out of something unsaid, but lately there hasn't been anything I was interested in where I needed to do that. Nothing recent or iconic enough springs to mind.

What was your favorite darkstalker?

I never actually played Darkstalkers. As for a character, I'll go with Talbain.

Do you still watch anime? What was the last two cartoon shows you watched if yes.( if not then maybe the tv shows)

Very rarely, only ones I'm really interested in. I'm just picking up Fate/stay night Unlimited Blade Works, and of course there's JoJo ; nothing recent before that.

Whats your favorite mugen thing? ( char, stage, etc)

My Jin, my Kim, PotS' Geese, and certain stages I've used in my Jin videos. It's only my favourite if I'm the one doing the tweaks on the system, most of the time I'll find things I want to change when it's done by someone else.

do you have $8 I can borrow and pay back on the 33rd?

See, I want to play along and pull a funny response, but I'm just at loss on what to come up with.

Didnt know this whole time you were Byakko....so why the name change and what does DKDC mean?

"Don't Know, Don't Care". I'm not big on a desire for identity so I wanted to get away from what I'm known as.

thoughts on this character that is apparently you

Easy archetype, easy name recognition "just pick something from mythology", nice design, but really underused and underdeveloped. It's like it's just random fodder for one more character because we need to expand the roster.

TOP 5 NARUTO CHARACTERS?

[Saikoro]

As for what got me into it - love of fighting games (though at the time I didn't understand much of it) and martial arts in general, plus a growing interest in coding (Mugen actually got me in computer science).

Now that's just fucking cool. Mad props to that as well as it being a bit of inspiration for me to finally get my busy ass into Mugen coding.

[Byakko]

Thanks

[JustNoPoint]

Just to clarify: byakko,  titiln, and jango we're not added to the list originally since they didn't get to have the full experience of the thread like picking another person themselves. Titiln opted out and was added back into the list as someone that cannot be chosen again.

What do you recommend in improving reaction time?

Are there any game centers in your area and what cabinets does it have?

Have you shown interest in Pokemon at some point in the past?

Fighting game you feel you'll never get the hang of no matter how much time you put?

Name one fighting game you feel deserves a one shot OVA.

Favorite "VS Styled" game?[Since X-Men COTA to UMVC3)

And a interesting question:

If you have the power to change the world with only ONE word, what word you will use?

[extravagant]

Byakko: where do you hang out nowadays? do you still work on any Mugen projects? and was it you who sprited the CvS2AKyo??

[Byakko]

- do you follow bleach at all? thoughts?
       ---- if yes, who is the more insane writer, kubo or kishi

I look at the manga from time to time. Most insane is Kubo, he has dumb one-time crazy characters all around the ass who are just here for their one-time powers and the counter that one-ups them.

- top 5 vgm tracks since iced is a bitch nigga and copped out

Bravely Default's Vagrant of Love, Final Fantasy 7 Crisis Core's SOLDIER battle, Samurai Shodown 64's Snow Flakes, Hyrule Warriors' Psychostorm, and ... Warriors Orochi 3's version of Ryu Hayabusa's theme, Vivid ~ Ryu. I'm skipping the musics that sound more like actual songs, like stuff from the Suikoden AST, or Rival School's opening song. Top 5 is not easy but I tried to pick only one song from each game.

- noticed you read kiseijuu, one of my favorites. what are some other manga youd recommend

Vagabond, Saint Onii-san, Tsukihime, Full Metal Panic Sigma are the ones I've bought the most often in the last few years.

----- if you could have an incomplete parasite transformation, which body part would it be on?

The arm, I guess.

- thoughts on the blazblue series?

I'm not interested in the style (both the designs and the gameplay)

- how do like to relax on a sunday?

Sleep all day long if I can.

- if vyx did pull a knife and came at you, what would you do?

Throw some rock at his face, and kick his hand so he drops it. Probably break the arm after that because you don't do shit like that.

- what is your inner source of power?

Zen.

Are there any game centers in your area and what cabinets does it have?

Some stuff in Paris, last time I checked it had KoF2002, 98, XI, and other classics like that, I think it had Street Fighter 4. I don't go often though.

Have you shown interest in Pokemon at some point in the past?

Zero.

Fighting game you feel you'll never get the hang of no matter how much time you put?

Most doujin fighters.

Name one fighting game you feel deserves a one shot OVA.

I'd go with Melty Blood for an easy pick.

Favorite "VS Styled" game?[Since X-Men COTA to UMVC3)

None, actually. Well, UMvC3, but I'm not really into VS style, no more than occasionally.

If you have the power to change the world with only ONE word, what word you will use?

Uh ! Either "understand" or "sex".

Byakko: where do you hang out nowadays? do you still work on any Mugen projects? and was it you who sprited the CvS2AKyo??

As in on the Internet ? Mostly just here, it's the last forum where I'm active (that and Elecbyte's forum too). I have some Mugen projects but they're for some distant future. And yes, I did CvS2AKyo and sprited just about all of the original stuff in it (save for a couple of sprites here and there).

edit - I forgot one.

What do you recommend in improving reaction time?

Training. The more natural an action comes to you, the faster you'll be able to use it to react to anything, it has to come like a natural reflex, and you build that with training. Train the physical action, and study the situations where you can use it, so you'll associate one with the other by reflex.
