With my sudden disappearance from the fighting game community, I'm sure that I've left a lot of people wondering where the heck I've been or what the heck I've been up to. Hopefully this short Q&A will shed light on such mysterious questions.
Q: Where have you been, Tatsu?!
A: After EVO2011, I had unexpectedly run out of money! I decided it was the perfect time to take a break from fighting games to focus on other things, like schoolwork or getting a job.
Q: That's cool. But why'd you cut your hair?!
A: It's pretty hard to get a job when you look like a girlman BADASS, so I had no choice but to cut it. I do miss my hair an awful lot though. Over the years it's turned into a trademark look for me. I will grow it back if my situation permits.
Q: What's the deal with Team Hori?
A: Without getting into specific details, let's just say that the person who was in charge of managing the team wasn't doing a very good job. He broke a lot of promises, put on a fake smile, and I'm pretty sure it's safe to say that this guy represented everything that was wrong about the fighting game community. He didn't really care about Hori at all and was just trying to use their name as a way to make a quick buck.
Hori was never at fault. They're actually really nice people. Even though the team was only active for a short while, I'm really grateful for them. It was also cool being on the same team as Sako-san!
Q: So now that you're back, can we expect to see you at tournaments again?
A: Yes! With the support of Eternal Rival and Madcatz, I'm finally back in the game. I'm really excited with the sponsorship because for once, I might be able to travel to majors outside of socal, which is something that I've never been able to do before. Also, expect to see me at Wednesday Night Fights when the new season starts next month. I also like to head out to the weekly sessions at UCI.
I think that's about it for now. If you guys have any other questions, ask away! Also be sure to follow me on twitter. The teams got a lot of cool stuff coming up for you guys and you're not gonna want to miss out.
With the release of KOF13 and the upcoming releases of Skullgirls, SC5, and SFxT, it's an exciting time for fighting games and I look forward to being a part of it.
