Banri | I'm home. |
Kazunari | Oh, dang! |
Taichi | Man, I can't believe we've got one of these! |
Kazunari | Dude, this is such a sick find! |
Banri | What's all the fuss about? |
Taichi | Oh, Ban-chan! |
Kazunari | Heya, Setzer! Good timing! |
Banri | For what? |
Kazunari | Check this out! |
Banri | No way! Is that—? |
Kazunari | Sure is! The console that shook entire generations, the one and only Hamicom! |
Banri | Forreal?! |
Taichi | Forreal real! |
| We dug it out from storage when we were helping the Manager organize it earlier! |
Banri | Dang, I've never seen one in real life before. |
Kazunari | Same! |
| Isn't this, like, totally lit?! |
Taichi | We should do a game tournament with everyone! |
Kazunari | Oh, totes! |
Banri | Get ready to get stomped. |
Taichi | You're scarin' me a little, Ban-chan! |
| So how do we get this hooked up to the TV? |
Banri | Just stick it in somewhere, it'll sort itself out. |
Kazunari | Stop right there! |
| You gotta be careful! These retro consoles are delicate! |
Taichi | You know much about this stuff, Kazu-kun? |
Kazunari | Yeah, I guess~ |
| I'm your guy for gadgets of all kinds! |
| So this goes here, like this! |
Banri | Oh, it's working. |
Taichi | You rock, Kazu-kun! |
Banri | I have no idea what kinda game this is, though. Never seen this picture before. |
Taichi | And there's no manual, either. |
| How do we even play it? |
Kazunari | Let's just give it a shot! |
Banri | Yeah, we'll figure it out. |
Taichi | All right! Game, start— |
| —but I still have no idea how to play this thing! |
Banri | Oh, it's a 1v1 fighting game. |
Taichi | Huh? Huh?? |
| How do I even play this? |
Banri | So the A button does this, and pressing Down with B does this... I see. |
Kazunari | Look out, Taicchan! |
Taichi | W-Wait! Time out, Ban-chan! |
Banri | Sorry, man, no can do. |
Taichi | Aaaaagh! |
Kazunari | That was so fast, Setzer! Totally wack! |
Taichi | 'Coz I had no idea what I was going on! |
| What the heck just happened?! |
Kazunari | IDK! |
Banri | You're up next, Kazunari. |
Kazunari | You're scaring me, Setzer! |
Taichi | So do you want a burial or cremation, Kazu-kun? |
Kazunari | Stop scaring me! |
| Dude, what the heck! This is so hard! |
| This is so different from the newer games! |
Taichi | Hey, you can't hit him there! ...Can you? |
Banri | Damn, the input sucks. This controller's been through a lot. |
Taichi | Whoa, you sound like an actual pro gamer. |
Kazunari | Crap, I'm gonna die! |
Banri | Heh. Piece o' cake. |
Kazunari | Agh, Setzer does it again! |
Taichi | He got you, just like he got me... |
Banri | You guys just die too fast. |
Taichi | Be nicer to us, Ban-chan! |
Banri | Fine, I'll give you guys a ten second head start. I won't attack at all. |
Taichi | Ooh, I think I've got a shot at this now! |
Kazunari | Good luck, Taicchan! |
Taichi | I'll avenge you, Kazu-kun! |
Banri | C'mon, let's start already. |
Taichi | I'm gonna take you down in ten seconds! |
Kazunari | You're so cool, Taicchan! |
Banri | 10... 9... 8... 7... |
Taichi | Huagh! |
| Hogh! |
| Hayaaa! |
Kazunari | Get 'im, Taicchan! His life bar is going down so fast! |
Banri | Well, yeah... |
Taichi | Take thiiis! |
Banri | 3... 2... 1... 0. |
Taichi | Oh no, the ten seconds are up! |
| But now that he's only got a tiny bit of life left, I should be able to finish— |
Banri | Up, Down, Left, Right, Down, Down, heavy kick. Up, Up, punch. Right, Left, punch. Down, Down, light kick. Left, Up, Right, punch. Down, Down, light kick... |
Kazunari | What is that? A curse?! |
Taichi | What the— I can't move my character at all, and my life bar just keeps going down! |
| Is this a glitch? Some force of horror at work?! |
Banri | Left, Down, Right, heavy kick. Up, Up, punch. Left, Left, medium kick. Down, Down, light kick. Left, Up, Right, Down, punch. Down, Down, light kick... |
Kazunari | Taicchan! |
Taichi | Gaaaagh! |
Banri | Aaand another one bites the dust. |
Taichi | Guh... |
Kazunari | Taicchaaaaan!! |
Banri | Dang, you guys are too weak. 'Course I'd wipe the floor with you. Ain't there someone else who can put up more of a fight? |
Kazunari | Itarun's probably the only one who can— |
Itaru | I'm home~ |
Taichi | Speak of the devil! |
Kazunari | Welcome back, Itarun~! |
Taichi | Help us, Itaru-san! |
Itaru | With what? |
| Wow, is that a Hamicom? |
Taichi | We found it in the storage room! |
Kazunari | Good ol' times and all, amirite?! |
Itaru | That's poggers. Can't believe there was such a rare treasure in our dorm, waiting to be uncovered. |
Banri | Good timing, Itaru-san. Come fight me. |
Itaru | Sure. |
Taichi | Ooh, it's time for the Gamer Showdown! |
Itaru | Wow, the connection sucks. |
| The input lag is awful. |
Kazunari | Another gamer god walks among us...! |
Itaru | Cool, my muscle memory's still intact. |
Taichi | Wow, Itaru-san sounds like he's typing on that controller! |
Banri | Damn, this is kinda tough. |
Kazunari | Wow, he's got Setzer cornered! You go, Itarun! |
Itaru | I need a gamepad. |
Banri | Damn, Itaru-san! No chill at all, huh? |
Taichi | His fingers are so fast, I can barely see them move! |
Kazunari | Whoa, you two are so cool! You should totes go pro! |
Banri | Can you die already, Itaru-san? |
Itaru | You die. |
Taichi | G-Guys, be nice! |
| |
Taichi | Are they still going? |
Kazunari | They've been going at it for, like, half an hour! Mad props to them. |
Taichi | I can feel my fingers cramping up just by watching them... |
Kazunari | C'mon, it's nearly time for dinner! |
Itaru | Can't. |
Banri | Later. |
Kazunari | I feel like I'm talking to two children...! |
Taichi | C'mon, guys! Dad's gonna get mad! |
Banri | Who the hell's "dad"? |
Taichi | Sakyo-nii. |
Banri | Serious? |
Itaru | Haha, gottem. |
Banri | Ha, as if— |
| Oh, shit— |
Kazunari | Setzer's pace has taken a real blow! Itarun shows no mercy as he targets the small crack in Setzer's defense! |
Taichi | His life bar is going down so fast! |
Banri | Shit, shit, shit! |
Itaru | You're done for. |
Banri | Ggh...! |
Taichi | Can he do it? Can he land the finishing blow...?! |
Banri | ?! |
Kazunari | Huh?! |
Taichi | The screen just went black! |
Itaru | Who the hell turned it— |
Cat | Meow~ |
Hisoka | You're not allowed to go inside... Come here. |
Banri | A cat...? |
Kazunari | OMG, what a cat-astrophe! |
Itaru | Man, seriously? |
Banri | Well, shit happens! Guess we'll count this as a draw! |
Itaru | And why do you sound so happy? |
Banri | No I don't. But man, sucks that we couldn't see that round through to the end~ |
Itaru | Yeaah, riiight. |
Kazunari | You guys can play another round after dinner! |
Taichi | I'm starving! |
Itaru | One more round. |
Banri | Geh. |
Kazunari | C'mon, guys, you've already played a lot! |
Taichi | You'll never stop if you start again! |
