Yoshio Kojima: Street Fighter
Um…I am uncomfortable that these two particular worlds have collided. Here we have a screenshot (snagged from Kotaku’s article, but hosted here) from Street Fighter Online: Mouse Generations. And I bet you thought it was weird when Mr. Kojima turned out to be an English teacher.
That is definitely Ryu aping Yoshio Kojima’s trademark line. What the heck? According to Kotaku, “That’s part of the game’s ‘cut-in system’ that delivers user-added images and biting smack-talk during @$$-kicking moments.” Hmmm. Add seriously overworked one-liners to that. Man, this guy’s side jobs are starting to add up. (He was even featured prominently on last year’s Sports Day shirt for my base high school…in all his speedo-clad glory.) To quote the character “Hippie” from The Abyss, “I’ve got to tell you, I give this whole thing a sphincter-factor of about 9.5.”
