🔥🔥🔥 thanks .swoosh team for making sure I’m equipped with the cards and kicks. It’s time to duel! 遊☆戯☆王 / Yu-Gi-Oh x NIKE Air Max 95 ‘Joey’ better known as the Air Muscle sneaker that this character coveted in the manga/anime. Happy I have both pairs + all 3 cards!

No other gaming community is seeing the FGC when it comes to sneakers. The #Evo2025 “secret tournament” was wonderful this year. Not everyone could make it, but it’s all good… we are always training for the next challenge 👊‼️

We are pleased to reveal the exclusive #Evo2025 artwork created by the legendary Shinkiro! As one of this year’s featured artists, Shinkiro will be available for limited meet-and-greets for attendees who purchase merch featuring this design. Learn more: evo.gg/news/evo-202...

I’ll be back in Tokyo mid-August and will be there for awhile. Looking forward to working there again. 8月中旬にまた東京に行くよ。しばらくいる予定！日本の仲間たちとまた一緒に働けるのが楽しみ！

Picked up a new ASi LVL WASD in black with the low profile switches here at CEO! This is by far one of my favorite leverless style setups around. You can grab one from the Attasa booth at Evo 2025 in Las Vegas! Love to wazwuz/golden lever clan ✌️ INFO: attasa.shop/smartphone/d...

I’m done with commentary this weekend! I’ll be taking a break from TEKKEN World Tour commentary until November. Thanks everyone for tuning in and enjoying the game with us.

TONIGHT, I'll be having an on-stream interview with Rick from @Evo . We'll be discussing EVO 2025, what to expect, what's changed, our own show at the event...and possibly some surprises?! Starting at 7pm PT on twitch.tv/maximilian_d...

C-C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER!! Happy 10th anniversary to the amazing community. The Midwest really is the MidBEST. Thanks for the love, energy and support throughout the event weekend.

Idea Pocket girls keep liking my posts and it’s boosting my power levels 🙃🙃🙃

Last minute shopping has always been good to me…

Final 48 hours in Tokyo were wonderful. See you in September for Tokyo Game Show.

Some of the oldest and most rare TEKKEN merch!! ✌️

Today’s delivery made me super happy. I’ve been trying to find the Kazuma Kaneko Works Vol. 1 in new condition for awhile now. I was able to get it for just shy of retail 🙏🏽 Any Megaten fans out there?

Delayed W today. Got the Air Jordan 4 SB in Tokyo as the sneaker launch was much later here in Japan. Was able to get it for about $218 USD with conversion (under US retail and way below market ask of about $320 USD) 😅 I’m so happy about this cuz I missed during SNKRS EA Draw! +added pink laces

I got to visit Moka-chan at work for a little bit during the TRENDGIRLS event! It’s an idol photography event at a water park in Saitama!

#対ありアニメ + Evo Japan 2025 collaboration visual will be featured at the upcoming #EVOJ25 event! 対ありアニメ (Young Ladies Don’t Play Fighting Games) is launching their anime adaptation later this year. Be sure to check it out! 🫵

I went to Cosket / コスケット Vol. 7 yesterday! I’ve never been to an event like this before. It was interesting to see the fan culture here supporting their favorite idols/models. I came to visit a few friends and picked up some of their merch! NO GAME NO LIFE!

四十三 ‼️ Moka-chan surprised me at midnight with a birthday cake (a fruit one!) 💕 What a great way to start the weekend… I hope everyone has a wonderful time. Take care.

Completely empty theater… completely full of love. #VampireHunterD

The OCTOPUS TR Fight Stick is an adventure in design, purpose and function. I’ve studied the product a bit and really started testing it out on current games/retro consoles. Even before I can talk about the quality, I want to talk about how fun this product is! ✌️

4月中旬から5月末まで、また日本を訪れます。みんなに会えること、そして新しい友人に会えることを楽しみにしている。 Evo Japanは5月9日から11日まで東京ビッグサイトで開催されます。そこでお会いできることを楽しみにしています！

You do side quests in game. I do side quests in real life. We are not the same. 🏴‍☠️🐉 #LikeADragonPirateYakuzaInHawaii #龍が如く8外伝

Plundering the islands in search of fortune 👑💰! 🏴‍☠️ Captain Majima 🤜 Casual Paul Phoenix 🐉 Double Dragons, Ichiban + Kiryu 🔫 … and elite sniper Ai-chan/本郷愛 (look at the 2nd pic 🧐) #LikeADragonPirateYakuzaInHawaii #龍が如く８外伝

MASTERCUP! 大会はとても楽しかった！ 自分の演技には少しがっかりしている。 次に向けてもっと練習します。 応援してくれたチームのみんなに感謝している。 たぬかな！ また、バレンタインデーのチョコレートのプレゼントもありがとう！ Salty about my play but happy I’m here.

Ashita no Joe / あしたのジョー has finally been localized in English. The original work was first published starting in 1968. Given this trend and pacing, we should see an official print run of English Hajime no Ippo in 2077 🤓!

DIO、あなたは若々しいものが好きだと聞いている。

Thanks BAIT 💪

🤟 👍 ✌️ 👋

Browsing. Bidding. Geeking out. I’m all about 2025 being a year of legacy and collecting! Look at these gems!

In the original Dead or Alive fighting game, the character Zack was sporting some awesome sneakers inspired by the iconic NIKE Air Max 95 OG Neon colorway. The 2P outfit had the Solar Red OG AM95 colorway too! The original Air Max 95 was immensely popular in Japan.

どせいさん

あと10日間日本で過ごし、クリスマス休暇のために帰国する。 日本に戻ってくるのは2月末まで。 帰る前にみんなに会えるといいな！ Hoping to make the most of the rest of 2024!

The @junkfoodarcades.bsky.social SWORL is finally available for pre-order! I’ve tested and used a prototype version of this product for awhile now. It’s such a unique gaming controller that has SO much potential to optimize the way you experience video games, fighting games and retro titles!
