    Man, youngest of 5, and my brothers beat my ass in EVERY game we got, rpgs included. Once we got a pc, we got to occupy ourselves in turns using both. 1 on the pic, 2 on the console, the others waited on the couch watching the others play or keeping score. Thems was the days…

    Cuddle Core is only DECENT against scrubs or mid tier players. She gets destroyed against high rank players. And even though she loses more than she wins, she will always get DEI-ed promoted to the forefront simply because she's a AIIGHT Tekken player that's black and female..

    Bro the Tomb raider point is the ultimate truth I never bought games that didn't allow me to play with my cousin. Here in South Africa I realized also the black kids are great at fighting games and fifa because they allow more than one person to play.

    I’ve wondered this same thing. I had a couple of cousins that’s about 7 years older than me and they weren’t really gamers. We played very different games. I play final fantasy and metal gear solid. They didn’t get into that kind of stuff. I boggled my mind how they were complete trash in every other game, but in MK X, these ninjas were nearly god tier. I still just don’t get it

    My friend, this was an excellent video and an excellent take and I appreciate the theory on how we all got into fighting games in the 90s, winner stays on with the fam definitely contributed at the crib!
