We didn't play too much and left rather early, because we had a reservation at [https://maps.app.goo.gl/oNMpaaJLuPzXFiYMA Kintaro], a traditional Izakaya hidden away in Aratamabashi, Nagoya. A lot of XI players came and it was a merry round of Izakaya food and drinking, and many funny stories were shared. I learned a lot of new things, particularly about Yanjirou. He has only been playing XI for 7 years, much less than most of the other players, who have been playing since it released. Also, after 6 months already, he was able to win against Shingo in a ft10. To quote Sawakoro, literally: "he has mutant strength". There were also tales about the console-only (pad) players in Japan, some of which I had heard before. Since Shoryuken inputs can be somewhat faster on pad if done right, a player called Yassan was able to do really well on console when he played U-rasia. Apparently, a long time ago, they had 8 ft10s on one day, and Yassan managed to win 7 of them. He is considered the inventor of the Yagoto team (Kula/Ryo/Gato(L)). We also had a really passionate discussion about which characters are easy, and which are not. Rukkora considers K' to be easy, Shingo on the other hand picked Ryo. Shingo was a great storyteller as the evening passed on, everybody was listening intently, bursting into laughter every few minutes. There was a story where Toru played U-rasia and was under so much pressure that right as the match started, he whiffed a 623C with Kula, leading to him losing his whole team, perfect. U-rasia chuckled and just said "time attack".<br> | We didn't play too much and left rather early, because we had a reservation at [https://maps.app.goo.gl/oNMpaaJLuPzXFiYMA Kintaro], a traditional Izakaya hidden away in Aratamabashi, Nagoya.
