Japan Plays Street Fighter Alpha 2 So You Don’t Have To
And when I say “plays,” I don’t mean they inserted a few quarters — they got guys in costumes, some wires, a few sets, and made a slavish re-enactment of SFA2’s intro and a few fights. Why? No idea. It looks like this was for some Japanese TV show or something. But after a bevy of Japanese things that made be want to scoop my eyes out with a melon baller, a video like this was much needed. Thanks to everyone who sent this in.

Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others.

Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
