TZW Interview

XSPR conducted a great interview with combo godfather TZW.

In a real game, what is the biggest or fanciest combo or feat you accomplished?

Using Guile, jumping heavy kick (roundhouse), standing light punch, Sonic Boom, standing mid punch, Sonic Boom, jumping heavy kick (roundhouse) (6 hits). I chose this for a Zangief player who was dizzy; after I did this 6 hit combo, he was re-dizzied.

Another time with Guile, I did jumping heavy kick (roundhouse), standing light punch, Sonic Boom, crouching light kick, super (5 hits connected, for total of 9 hits).

Go check it out. He dodges the nickname question, but TZW signed up for a lot of Mikado ranbats as "Tazawa" so that's...

Also: Nikachan uploaded the proper part two from the other day. New link in previous post.

Nishinippori Versus Video 121410

I wasn't able to view part one; Nico is acting funny this week. Also the files are misnumbered and/or there's a piece missing. Fixed 12/16

This was the fiftieth Versus ST Tuesday contest. There weren't any set teams — each player pulled a card, ace of spades fought two of spades then the three of spades fought the winner, etc. Toutanki took an FAB break.

Pick Dhalsim vs. Ken, brother!

GMCTV was interesting. Aniken invited various tough guys to fight with him, his brother and Dara.

Skip to the second hour of the archive for TZW, Baby Nine, Prince, Kusumondo, MAO, Tasaka, Nakamu, ARG, Star, etc. With any luck they'll rope in Sako for a future broadcast.

Otochun said he'd continue to work on his anti-DJ game. Stay tuned. He spoke highly of XSPR's Dhalsim.

Dara ran some viewer polls:
