Playing Keiji more and better understanding his moveset has made me appreciate him more. He's really rather cute. His final super has him getting drunk ("Love Struck" fff!) and the music changes and... god. Just god. XD;

That said, he's not really good for button mashing, if you're that type of player. His Diplomacy of Love cancel move does different things depending on when you cancel in the string, so hitting Diplomacy right after just one attack nets you a really useful sword throw while after two you get an anti-aerial. Cancel one of his specials too early and he "goofs up" (drops his sword, trips, sneezes) and it still does damage but has a cooldown lag. But cancel at the right time and the special combos into a powerful string finisher.

Of course, for the average gamer, this probably isn't even important; while the English localization's "normal" is actually the Japanese "hard"--it's a huge cakewalk. The Japanese version even had an easier mode than "Easy" (which is already pathetically easy in the ENG version, and our Easy is their Normal!)... which further supports my theory that Capcom knows that fujoshi and fangirls fucking love this series and want it make it as accessible as possible for the casual gamers who might not quite be good at a hack 'n slash.

I love that “What the fuck” now comes in kinds.

Nightmare Fiction says:
"for today's internet personality on the go, we offer the clipped 'THE FUUUUUU--' as well"
Sha says:
“And if cussing isn’t to your liking, there’s the abbreviate WHAT THE? available at a discounted rate.”

Guys. GUYS.
I SHIP MAGOICHI AND KEIJI
omg keiji's blue path.... SO SWEET d'awwwwwwwwwwww

SHIT. I HAVE TO PLAY IT AGAIN FOR THE GREEN ROUTE THAT SPAWNS OFF THE BLUE ROUTE CAUSE augh that's when Magoichi becomes an ally D:

(Magoichi. Why you so amazing. She's such a good mix of strength and femininty; she looks like a fanservice character initially, but she's so nicely developed.)

You know. I know we all want to say "I write/draw/create for myself" but there definitely is something nice about receiving acknowledgment/praise/critique from your peers. (Though I'm not sure if my good mood is from that or cause my vacation starts tomorrow after I get off work. *dance!*)

For the curious, my ChikaNari fluffy AU ship-fic of cliched doom can be found here: Thursday
It ended at 14k words. ... y-yeah.

Also, I'm not sure what it says about the fandoms I work in when a lot of the acknowledgment I get is along the lines of "YES A X/X FIC! YAY!!" ffff... (I think most of Paradigm's reviews--small quantity they are--also have the same theme going. orz)
