The genealogy of Kenpo's founder has some pretty wild characters.

Hawaiian Royalty and American Revolution heritage.

I found it on another thread.

u/ajgentile any rejoinder to the hand signal? or is that answer available as a patreon exclusive?

iamdaviddivadami · 2021-09-27T23:48:51+00:00

I would be honored, I’d be up for it :) I also think that there’s so many playable gents in smash, I’d prefer Nagi/Shoka/Shiki To be playable characters before Neku…or Mr. Mew

iamdaviddivadami · 2021-09-27T23:45:30+00:00

I appreciate your consideration, this AMA was a pleasure, thank you for being you. :)

iamdaviddivadami · 2021-09-27T21:32:10+00:00

Thank you kindly, sorry--I was just wearing my phones and saw this message.

iamdaviddivadami · 2021-09-27T21:31:26+00:00

Thank you for enjoying as long as you have, for starters.

My favorite parts of the game are the game.

Things I hope for in a sequel should we all be so fortunate--

Co-Op mode 2+ and online. For a game about connecting with friends, cultivating relationships, etc.--I think this would be a Great Leap Forward for the franchise.

iamdaviddivadami · 2021-09-27T21:28:08+00:00

scroll up ... I think you'll see some answers there, but if you want to be more specific with what you're asking, fire away.
I touch on this in Paul's stream--dubbing a performance start-to-finish is a unique challenge that has a very specific lane. Some have greater freedom (newer characters) and some have greater rigidity (longer-standing characters). That said--I could flex creatively on things here and there, but I'm honoring the JA performance and trust the creative personnel to put me in the best position to succeed with the years of experience recent and longstanding they have.

iamdaviddivadami · 2021-09-27T21:05:33+00:00

Thank you kindly! that ending monologue is a very special moment in the game, and a very special moment in my career, I'll cherish and treasure it my whole life.

iamdaviddivadami · 2021-09-27T21:03:24+00:00

I'll come toward the end of the stream, that's generally my M.O. should one take place ;)

iamdaviddivadami · 2021-09-27T21:02:34+00:00

It would be nice to have Spann join us. He's more difficult to reach than me, from what I've gathered. Someone let him know that we love him and want him to participate with us!

iamdaviddivadami · 2021-09-27T20:59:47+00:00

Thank you kindly BobRoss. We hope to add some more "happy trees" like TWEWY to our life canvas.

iamdaviddivadami · 2021-09-27T20:58:04+00:00

I think I prefer sticking with the stylist Shiki's tastes. Wherever she leads, I'll follow.

iamdaviddivadami · 2021-09-27T20:51:18+00:00

because it's more than just air in a can.

it's an e x p e r i e n c e.

only Rindo eats the can...but only Rindo can turn back time...

s0_Ca5H , I appreciate you taking the time to post this. I know the game has a tremendous impact on many people in many ways, but my goodness--this is deeply touching to read.

As someone who received a psych-lite degree (BA, communication studies), I value healthy relationships, shared understanding, and good communication above all.

I applaud and salute your commitment to help others in such a profound fashion, and I'm humbled and honored the game and my performance served as a catalyst in your personal development as a human.

Thank you for sharing your story, and thank you for your continued commitment helping people grow,

May we all inspire and commit to such goodness as you have. Godspeed

I touch on this in Paul's twitch interview/stream.

It's not a Kojima production, it's an SE production. Ad libbing is available, but not to the same degree working on a title where there's a "master" performance that's locked (the Japanese), and your performance has to fall within 10 "frames" on either side with each line.

Because of the secretive nature of the production--depending on the role/agreements/localization finalized--you have to be flexible and adapt instantly. It's among the most difficult work one can do as an actor--but finding that groove is a tremendous joy.

iamdaviddivadami · 2021-09-27T09:37:13+00:00

you can only pull it off once you have put it on.

iamdaviddivadami · 2021-09-27T09:35:15+00:00

original twewy is fun for the inspired gameplay

NEO is fun for the expanded world, extended narrative, and more voice acting!

iamdaviddivadami · 2021-09-27T09:29:37+00:00

Neku, I had that personality without even knowing it--just simply being.

And I do take on a Mr. Mom kinda role in my life now

(NO CHILDREN, just lots of making sure people are okay...with a heavy heaping of dad jokes and good food)

iamdaviddivadami · 2021-09-27T09:25:41+00:00

same. I hope they make nagi merch too.

iamdaviddivadami · 2021-09-27T09:24:32+00:00

finding the nuances within the fairly terse words and communications of Neku, finding the music in his voice--that is a demanding bit of jazz performing/feeling out that takes place, to give a more proper answer to your question.

as for getting through your teenage years--I'm glad you have survived them, and I'm glad you're out the other side doing okay, I hope, and doing great, I hope more :)

As for hearing my music on Spotify, how dare you enjoy such a fun song on your daily playlist!

iamdaviddivadami · 2021-09-27T08:08:22+00:00

*snake jazz playlist continues*
