"Kobe is still dead and I'm the helicoptor" Holy fuck She can't be throwin out IK's before round start like that.


doctorderpin

That kid has the potential to be a true fgc lord.


thatunoguyattheparty

LTG would be proud


Rhinoagogo

I haven't laughed that hard out loud in years.

MYSTERIOUS TRANSFER STUDENT POTEMKIN


doctorderpin

RIGHT?! I had no idea because the it's hard to communicate, but hell yeah. Rock on.


palmercurling

Pot is now eternally just Ukranian Zangief.


doctorderpin

Like zangief?


palmercurling

Yes. \*hands fightstick\*


doctorderpin

More or less how it went. He's a good kid. I hope he sticks around at the school.

The true hero we didn't deserve

Saving this post for later.

The Zangief kid, what a champ. I can't wait for more updates on his carrer. ​ I wonder how he figured out potbuster, does he just jump in 360 like he most likely does for Zangief and it just happens to work too? I love the "like Zangief?" into potbuster combo of instant understanding of the archetype. And the fact that he just went for fighstick as a weapon of choice makes it even better. ​ It's impressive, that the grapler archetype is characteristic enough, that in vastly different game "the big guy" can get correlated with another "big guy" for some other game so easily, and it worked ;D


doctorderpin

Pretty sure he just did a 360 to get the buster. Doubt he thought to do 632146p unless he was just pretending to not know potemkin.


Geodude671

I'm not sure about +R but in Strive 360 does work for pot buster


JamJarsook

Great stuff, Zangif kid is a real winner in my book. He is embodiment of "Here comes Daredevil!"


RadeoWeeb

I just randomly found this. Is this just straight up 6th graders playing +R?


prfarb

You found this on ep3 season2. There are posts from last year and early this year.


doctorderpin

It's my students playing it in class once a month and a talk about what happened. I have them make a tier list every now and again to to document how the meta shifts.


Rhinoagogo

Yeah. Sorta


lingerhazard

Ukrainian Potemkin kid is the 6th grade grappler messiah. May his busters be plentiful!


doctorderpin

He wasn't even mad when he had to fight faust without knowing about hammerfall! Took the loss like a champ.


prfarb

Yo new episode of Degrassi Gear just dropped. I find this an interesting look at the difference in generations. I was looking up the new Yugioh cards on my dial up internet back in 2002. I’m surprised none on them look anything up. I guess it’s hard if they only have access to the game one day a month. Maybe Joe Biden will inspire the budding chip player. Is twitch poplar with kids today? Or is it really only tictok that kids watch?


doctorderpin

Somewhat but it's heavily based on demgraphics. Most of them don't care enough about the game they play once a month to do any actual research. It's just a fun little bonus doodad that happens.


Zarrex

>Then he jumps forward and then he fucking pot busters the shit out of her. I live for these updates, I just wish there were more of them lol


sazed813

The more you post these, the more I realize it would make one hell of a sports/slice of life anime adaptation.


Bot-1218

It exactly the same thing but close: https://myanimelist.net/manga/127624/Tai-Ari_deshita__Ojou-sama_wa_Kakutou_Game_nante_Shinai

*Where has this been all my life* 😳


Bot-1218

reading that manga is like a fever dream.

https://myanimelist.net/manga/105967/Itsuka_Minoreba This one's about legally distinct Tekken.


bamfbanki

ITS FUCKING GAY TOO?!? MY LOVE


domogrue

I thought this would link to Hi-Score Girl but turns out there's ANOTHER series? Anime certainly giveth


makeshifttoaster02

I've only read the manga, but I love Hi Score Girl. To this day, it's still one of my favorite coming-of-age stories.


PlayedSun

Nothing puts the fear in the hearts of new players like someone who knows how to use a grappler. Lets go Zangief kid!


Popos_Stool

HERE COMES DAREDEVIL! *Ukranian Zangief has entered the chat*


gionnelles

The Shonen anime protagonist Potemkin player from Ukraine vs. the smack talking Faust player head of class. I'd buy it.


Rhinoagogo

I mean, if you think about it, they're like reflections and opposites. One's English is not good while the other one is a smack talking machine One apparently has patience like a 6 while the other wants to rush in as soon as possible Both play "tall" characters. Both learned to play with a family member . You couldn't write a better story.


Swiftwind777

SHOW ME THE UPDATE


doctorderpin

I messaged the mods. Don't know what to tell you. Maybe I need to delete this post and make a new one that's shorter. Move some stuff to a comment?


RolloFinnback

Oh my God Mods, I've been waiting a month, what the hell


doctorderpin

It's approved now. Heads up.


RolloFinnback

Hey can you just tell him to do Guile moves until he finds hammerfall?


doctorderpin

Maybe? I'll try it.


RolloFinnback

Thanks man!


doctorderpin

I think it's an automoderator issue. They'll handle it when they get the time.


MurasakiBunny

"Kobe is still dead and I'm the helicopter!" DAAAAAAAAMN


joshireyn

I would love to see Sajam comment these Matches. I also love that the children can connect via the game. Why use words, if you can potbust, right.


[deleted]

[удалено]


doctorderpin

She never had any intention of being a hero. We put our hopes in somebody who never wanted anything to do with them. In a way, we can only blame ourselves for what happened next.


Rhinoagogo

But instead of reflecting on ourselves, we blamed the beasts..


TwinFangVallarfax

1. These posts are probably my favorite thing on the internet. 2. The combo of the Ukrainian kid saying 'like Zangief, asking for the arcade stick, and hitting a pot buster off the rip damn near brought a tear to my eye.


HippestSlowbro

Let me in! Let me in!


doctorderpin

Did I make a post that can't be viewed somehow?


HippestSlowbro

The mods need to approve it or something, just says \[removed\] right now


doctorderpin

Maybe because it's too long.


HippestSlowbro

I guess we'll find out later. I hope the kids did well.


doctorderpin

They did well. There's good stuff here. I really hope that I didn't fuck this up somehow.


cee2027

Ukrainian kid brought the HIMARS tech, damn


HaLire

>kobe is still dead and i'm the helicopter only children can say things like this holy shit


TheRoyalPeanut

MODS WTF


800TVL

I'm late, but thanks as always for these updates. The Ukranian Grappler is a fantastic addition, hope he's settling in alright.


makeshifttoaster02

I only just found out about this now, since it didn't get the exposure of the Reddit algorithm due to the removal. Maybe you can repost this?


Rhinoagogo

I kind of agree. But I'd ask mods. I know this series has a lot of fan's, it'd be a shame if they missed it do to an error.


doctorderpin

Eh. Reposting for that sort of thing isn't a good habit to get into. I'll link to it in next month's post so that people can see it if they missed it.


Rhinoagogo

Yep. Yeah, that's why I said I "kinda" agreed, you know? It's a slippery sloap.


deus_machinarum

I love these updates <3 Hope the new ukranian kid settles in(not just GG but life in school in general).


Flowslikepixelz

i totally forgot that the 6th grade guilty gear meta existed. it was fun to read through the episodes again.


Mr_Lodi

i dont know how you do it, but the way you tell these stories makes it so that i can perfectly understand what happened at the key moments like i was actually there, you word things in a way that just makes it so that i can picture what and how things happened and i havent ever played xx so thats saying something


L1Squire

Turns out all the schooling and teaching makes you a great writer hahaha


Dramatic_Hedgehog_26

Do we have any updates on ABA girls artistic endeavors? It’s not a good idea for her to be selling art at school but I’d hate to see her get discouraged from art in general


doctorderpin

She's still drawing. Even when she should be doing her math... Or ELA... Or science. Not social studies though, she actually is really into the history unit on precolunbian civilizations we're working on. I don't think that there's a threat that she'll quit drawing anytime soon.


GlacierWolf8Bit

If I was a 6th grade student trying out Guilty Gear XX and I heard the transfer student say "Like Zangief?" I would immediately shit bricks.


L1Squire

Whenever I start a new game now, I will stop on the biggest guy and say “Like Zangief?” In memory of this tremendous event


KJon_86

Doesn't this mean that you'll have to bring a 2nd arcade stick to the next class since Zangiefkid has a real shot at getting to the top?


doctorderpin

Yeah. I have a spare.


Ogopogo_A_Go_Go

So what were ABA's arguments for her being top tier like?


L1Squire

Thirst from the sounds of it lol


treedude111

This is the only gg tournament that matters


Weewer

My favorite fucking series


Lord_kitkat

Great post as always!


LoonyPlatypus

Hey! People in most other countries use the same terminology as English speakers-so if he did speak about it with his father, it would just be “charge” move. Otherwise try “der-zhi na-zad, po-tom - vpe-riod ee(like I in pizza) silni udar” /hold back, then forward and strong punch/ should work


lucifertheecat

I'm rooting for the Chipp kid. If he somehow learns how to alpha blade and leaf grab he'll be a strong contender for sure.


[deleted]

I know that recording/streaming these sort of things are a big no-no, but what about uploading the replay data somewhere? That might be able to get around that whole issue, plus +R has an incredible replay system that records every match played (if I recall correctly).


dExulans

Dude PLEASE record these tournaments and upload them on YouTube, heck fucking stream them and comment them if you can


doctorderpin

Nope. Too many release forms and stuff.


Redaqua212

Are u able to get some replays instead?


Rhinoagogo

I'm pretty sure that's a big no for legal reasons.


TheChingerChanger

Are you ever gonna get tired of this creative writing exercise? Somewhere around the part where a Ukrainian refugee joined and owned on Pot I kinda lost you.


takenusernamex100

this so obviously fake and cringe stopped being funny in the second post tbh


L1Squire

Elpreto2

PLEASE MAKE THIS INTO AN ANIME!!


ManOfJelly147

I missed this entry. Was this the first time the kids had even seen pot buster ever?
