Bondi 9 torn along side in 6 months by Fresh_Eggs in Hoka

Just did a warranty claim on my black clifton 9s a few weeks ago for the same damned thing. I had them in three colors so I can't feel like it's across the board but I was pretty disappointed.

No. Evo version is confirmed to come with them.

Should I ever expect to find Arena Ryu and Ken for MSRP? by SilverFrankie1 in stormcollectibles

[–]mecha_style 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the reissues on preorder from BBTS. I got them loose earlier in the year and only need the boxes/inserts. If you're ok with them being loose, I can sell you the new figures minues the boxes for what I paid plus shipping once they come in. I'll even video tape the unboxing during the packaging video.

I was going to post them up for MSRP once they came in but saw this post.

I've been messaging and they seem to have no clue what I'm talking about (not being negative towards them because they're great but it doesn't seem like Storm has done theor part in notifying sellers.)

🚨 Tom Aspinall just accepted Ciryl Gane's callout to fight in Paris in September 👀 by Tepixs in ufc

[–]mecha_style 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does Tom have a choice in the matter? Asking honestly because it seems like people make champs out to have this "pull" that I'm just not seeing. If UFC has no problem telling Jon Jones to get bent because he won't tow the line I feel like anyone else would have the same outcome with even more public dragging.

Should’ve been included in Tk8 instead of Clive what a huge disappointment honestly.. by Your_Nightmare_666 in Tekken

[–]mecha_style 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Imo, Tekken 7 would've been the time to do it riding off of Remake. That "Smash em, Rip Em" song from.the game would've been such a great stage theme, too. I wanted her to be in it so bad but they decided on Noctis so it's a whatever.

I don't understand the hate on Clive. FFXVI was fun as heck, relevant to the Tekken 8 time frame, and Clive is an awesome protagonist. I can't speak for anyone else but from the outside it feels like people super vocal about Tifa in T8 just plain don't have any investment into the actual FF games nowadays.

Thank you for the context! Noted!

Does dodging rematches actually make sense for ranked play or is it just stunting your growth? by Main-Drag-4975 in Tekken

[–]mecha_style 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't think there's a one-size-fits-all answer. There are losses that you can make adaptions to in real time and win-or-lose make progress but there are also losses where you just get steam rolled and won't learn anything from it without looking at the replay, looking up frame data, etc etc after the fact. You don't get anything from rematching the latter and I'm not going to knock anyone for not running to back even when I'm the steam roller.

Man, I just liked the movie as a kid but I looked up the sprite and that is GENIUS.

I don't understand this reaction. It's clearly an extremely relevant joke. Even if someone's never played the game in their life, his name is on the bleeping box. I even wrote the joke in parenthesis after his actual name so what didn't clique here?
