Why does Akira... wear a gi?

They are usually associated with Japanese martial arts...


Baji Quan is Chinese.



Wha?

 

Wrong forum (should be general or at Gamefaqs).
----

Move, lock, Ban(?).

Who the fuck cares. It looks good on him.

 

A) Because Akira is japanese?

B) Because it looks good.

 

akira told me he likes the look of the gi better most the time but since other people were asking the same question, he now has the costume c option as well. Thanks akira, for clarifying this. Hey man, don't take offense to sebos post. He's just giving you a hard time. All newcomers to the VFDC boards are welcome. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif

 

Sebo has been giving me a hard time everywhere.

I sincerly hopes he dies in a fire. Ban because I asked a question in the wrong forum? I hope cancer visits you.



I don't think it's because he is Japanese. I mean... if you're Mexican and go to learn Kyokushin Karate, does your Sensei expect you to come in a sombremo and poncho?

 

It is called internet-etiquette-introduction. Learn "search."

I love you too. Oh, my dad filled the cancer in the family quota for now.

Dude, he is Japanese. Do your research in stupid trivial shit and then study the game by reading things on the forum and wiki.

 

I know he's Japanese. Your reading comprehension sucks, for someone so adamant about suggesting others read entire wiki articles of notation and nuances only pros would appreciate.


Still, you're a neckbearded mouth-breather. Stay out of my topics, please. I could do without the condescending bullshit. I'm new to 3D fighters in general, and just trying to pick up some things.

 

Durka durka

 

Cause silk is for pussies, and since Akira is clearly not a pussy he keeps his gi with him. Later on in the series when Akira is tainted by the metro-ness of Brad and Lion he decides to bust out the silk.... BUT ONLY BECAUSE OF THAT>

 

once upon a time Sega am2 wanted to make a fighting game,
vf1,
and they needed a main character to front the game,
they looked at street fighter for inspiration..(some other Japanese main character with a gi...) /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif

 

I heard it gives him special powers. In all honestly it's a fighting game I don't think Sega were going for realism or something.

 

haha thats just like asking why Akira Practices his Bajichuan [hakkyokuken is the japanese name for it **its the old school 'secret' emporer temple guard style from the forbidden city**] like its karate

 

Cause it's hard to combo in a Versace suit.

And leave Sebo alone. You knew it was a stupid question before you asked it, so don't play victim because he called you on it.

 

Just take this drivel somewhere other than the dojo...

 

It's not even a ghi. It's just his pyjamas that he's never changed out of, because all he does is eat, fight and sleep. He can barely talk. For Akira, it's all about the training. Fashion isn't an issue.

It's nothing to do with his master - he doesn't have one. He's killed everyone who taught him anything. By accident, with a single knee.

 

LMAO!!!

 

Drivel fucking rocks!

No no no. Have you NEVER heard of pre-following? CAPCOM was merely pre-following SEGA with the introduction of a gi-clad fighter with short brown hair.

And to L_A_Akira, for his contribution to this thread, my reaction was a genuine...
