My first caliburst top 3!

This is technically an online Caliburst

I think it's funny a good chunk of my sets go like this

Merry Xrdmas! Throwback to 2024's Resshoumania.

It took some work, but I looked over my resshoumania showmatch and found this AD jK interaction came up the most, which I was aware of but wasn't expecting to come up as often as it did. These situations are nuanced and part of a larger system, but give me a good starting point on what to work on.

Kev's 2025 Xrd review. 🧵 (1/4) I played a lot less this year in hrs and events. I was happy that I was able to maintain my level of play, and even learn new stuff. After many years I mostly use this to reflect on my time and relationship with the game but some other facts are still amusing.

still reeling from RESSHOUMANIA but the thing that keeps echoing in my head (other than umapyoi densetsu) is that the venue staff told us that we were the easiest event they've ever had, and that our guests were extremely nice. i've never been more proud of our community than after hearing that.

I ""watched"" multiple episodes of a show I do not watch to make this.

Five years of RESSHOUMANIA behind us. Here's to the next five!

It was an impressive dance routine.

@kevatog.bsky.social and @drifterdane.bsky.social, aka Mejiro McQueen and Rice Shower. Walkout, match, and then (next post) idol concert.

Thank you to @drifterdane.bsky.social for being such a fun opponent for #RESSHOUMANIA. We started with a broad concept, and then ended up really pushing each other to go through the extra effort with costume and dance practice. 🫶

Corporate wants you to tell the difference between these two images #RESSHOUMANIA

"What do I miss about the social aspect of the old FGC?" New ASK PAT is up! Talked for a bit about how social patterns in fighting games have changed now that in-person sessions are no longer required to get quality matches. www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvif...

After 4.5 years and 19 sets I took my first set off @pattheflip.bsky.social . This means a lot as it was something I was hard set on earlier on in my career. It's been great playing with him for so long. I hope I can show newer players that the journey to getting good is long but rewarding.

"What do you think of 'guts' in fighting games?" New ASK PAT is up! Someone asked about "guts" in FGs (scaling damage based on remaining HP) and decided I'd talk a bit about the things I love in some of the weird math that underlies a lot of FGs. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_YMu...

me: I'm gonna play my secondary bab: that's fine (starts playing) bab: oh are you doing a button check right now? me: no... 🫠

Hey Resshoumania 2024 Attendees, I tried really hard to get this out as soon as I could, that didn't work. But today is the next best thing right? Thank you so much to everyone who told me you look forward to the album after the event, you are too kind. Album in the replied tweet.

It's an Xrdmas miracle! SantEy Claus has delivered the mv for the "12 days of Xrd". Thanks to the 15+ people who sang with us. I am grateful for this community and everyone who has enjoyed and enabled my antics this year.

It's 2017. young kev is in japan for the first time in kyoto and heads straight to a-cho alone after checking into his hostel. it's a summer work night. the clerk is cosplaying chie from persona. there is only a group gathered to play blazblue, none for xrd. i dont understand, but it feels right.

my mom asked why i play xrd and not strive and the most effective thing that I said was "it similar to why you prefer to play tennis over pickleball"

i wanted to ask if this happens to anyone else. I dream about playing Xrd now and then when I'm asleep, and more frequently when I'm playing a lot. Almost every time I remember vividly game sequences that could actually take place, and I always remember the match to the end and I win.

Still recovering from RESSHOUMANIA but I wanted to take a moment to thank everyone who made it so special; the volunteers, the Chop Shop editing crew, everyone who brought and made food, @totoroslayer.bsky.social and the Gamecenter staff, and of course everyone who played and watched.

Is that grammy nominated singer TODD HUNTER?

Adding a thread of Quiplash responses I took that haven't been posted yet. Thanks to everyone who summitted questions, and thanks to those played and hung out! Yall are hilarious 🧵
