All this damage and destruction, plus they killed a young lion and Don Callis got caught in the crossfire... at this rate, I fully expect one of them to pick up Jushin Thunder Liger from the Japanese commentary team and chuck him like a javelin. Those spikes on Liger's mask certainly look pointy enough to hurt someone.

I decided to just microwave something during the opening moments of Tanahashi/Switchblade and bring it upstairs to eat during the match. That's why I went silent for a bit. Great match though, definitely didn't expect Tana to retain.

Time for the Alpha vs. the Omega!

Damn, no LIJ sweep. But that match was absolutely incredible, and if it couldn't be Hiromu winning, I'm happy for Ospreay. Now I can use the intermission to go eat some foo- OH COME ON! They're going right into Tanahashi/Switchblade!? My stomach can't take this!

In terms of type coverage, it's great (I think only Slowbro/Slowking and Alolan Raichu will have any overlapping types), but what moves do you have in mind for them later on?

Great and PAINFUL match between Suzuki and Goto, loved the ending segment too. Now time for the fatal four way for the Jr. Heavyweight title, then hopefully an intermission so I can get some food in me. I'm starving!

New tag champs! Let the LIJ sweep begin!

I didnt like the match

I agree that it wasn't a great match (it was still solid, but probably the worst so far) but I'm still happy because I'm a huge LIJ mark, not just for Naito.

Same. I'm 1 for 2 so far (picked the Bucks correctly in the first match, but Bullet Club incorrectly in the second match) and I'm hoping to get at least half of them right.

Seeing Michael Elgin show up reminded me of this: I wish NJPW had found a place for Jeff Cobb (Elgin's tag partner from the World Tag League) on this card somewhere, even if it was in the Rumble earlier. I heard they did sign him to a deal, and he can still be himself in NJPW while also playing Matanza Cueto in Lucha Underground as well, thanks to LU recently relaxing their contract restrictions for guys wrestling in other companies.

NJPW's show on AXS is supposed to be airing the show over a few weeks.

They are. They're going to show the final 3 matches (Switchblade/Tanahashi, Jericho/Omega, Naito/Okada) this Saturday in a 3 hour special, then the undercard matches in their regular weekly timeslot (on Fridays) in the weeks to come afterwards.

Probably Skyrim. Bought it the day it came out on 360, then bought all the DLC individually as they released. Eventually bought the complete edition on 360 (why?) and PS3 (a lark), then bought it all again on PS4. I have a problem.

If you buy the Switch version too, let me know how it turned out. I've never played Skyrim before but I'm thinking about trying it for the Switch.

If you count both halves of one Pokemon release (like Red and Blue) as alternate versions of the same game, then Pokemon Red/Blue would easily be mine. I had both as a kid, re-bought Red in middle school because I lost my original, sold them after I was bored of them, re-bought them both on cartridges a couple of years ago because I wanted to play them again, and then re-re-bought them both on the 3DS Virtual Console. So 4 for Red and 3 for Blue, 7 in total.

I know I've bought a few other games 3 times (Minecraft, Child Of Light, Star Fox 64, and both GBA Fire Emblem games) but I don't think I've bought any others 4 times. So even if paired Pokemon games are counted separately, Pokemon Red would still be my highest.

Some extra bonus facts about tonight's participants:

- As of January 3, 2018 (the day before WK12) Kazuchika Okada has been IWGP Heavyweight Champion for more total days than anyone else in the title's long and storied history, boasting 4 title reigns for a total of 1,359 days and possibly even more to come. Hiroshi Tanahashi held the previous mark at 1,358 total days, but across 7 title reigns. Tanahashi also has the most career successful defenses of the IWGP Heavyweight title, 28 defenses to Okada's 21 and counting.

- January 3 is also notably the birthday of legendary wrestling commentator Jim Ross. For those who may not be watching the show tonight on NJPW World and listening to the English commentary of Kevin Kelly and Don Callis, the delayed showings of NJPW events (including WrestleKingdom 12) on AXS TV are commentated by Good Ol' JR himself, alongside Josh Barnett.

- Within a span of 1 year, Chris Jericho will have fought 2 different Canadian wrestlers with the initials "KO", for 2 different United States championships, in the biggest event of the year for 2 different wrestling promotions. You can't make this shit up.

- Hiroshi Tanahashi's reported ( https://twitter.com/reasonjp/status/948717474064691200 ) thoughts on his IWGP Intercontinental title match potentially being seen as a 'bathroom break' before the highly publicized double main event: "I have to make them piss their pants... or at least have them rush zipping them up."

so around how long from now will omega jericho happen?

The whole show (including the pre-show) starts at 2AM (eastern standard time) and will probably go until about 7. Okada/Naito in the main event will basically take up the whole last hour of the show by itself. I'd say if you're mainly focused on Omega/Jericho, have the stream up before 5 to be safe.

DocileOrangeCup posted...

does njpw have, like, a free trial or something/

I don't think so. Their streaming service (NJPW World) is only $10 a month though, so it's pretty cheap. Or if you get the AXS TV channel on your cable/satellite package, they'll be showing the matches for free over the next few weeks, including the 3 biggest title matches of the show this Saturday.

Abra earlier.

Uhhhhhhhh...

https://serebii.net/pokedex/063.shtml

You can't access Route 5 until you get the SS Ticket, which requires you to go through route 24/25 to get it. So unless I'm missing something somewhere... no?

EDIT: The only thing I can think of that would let you get to route 5 sooner is by beating Misty, then trading in a Pokemon from a different game that knows Cut so you can leave Cerulean without needing the SS Ticket. But if that's the case, then why not just trade in the Abra?

Rinne

Support her in the coming rounds then. Like I said, she and Nanoha are already safe. The last two girls remaining are doing pretty well for themselves.

Anyways, my hour is up, so I'll put in a vote for Tiger Mask.

Who is rinne

She's a character in ViVid Strike, which is a spin-off of Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha ViVid... which itself is season 4 of the Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha series. So by extension, she's from the same series as Nanoha herself is. I had posted some gifs of her in a previous round.




Oh yeah, she knows MMA (magical martial arts) too, so she's pretty badass.

Yes. Every third version of a Pokemon game has major improvements.

Yellow's "improvements" are debatable, but all the others add a decent amount of stuff.

It's been confirmed for a couple weeks (and we've known for months that it was basically inevitable) but I'm just as glad as you are to see it coming soon. I'll probably do a clean story run through Crystal while glitching the everliving fuck out of Gold. I did the same with the first gen games: no glitches used Yellow, glitches like crazy in Red.
