"Play My Offence To The MAX, Or Don't Play Me At All!"



Cultural insensitivity day continues with this vintage Street Fighter II' Turbo instructional video. Hear! Ropey voice-over actors discussing their video gaming techniques in the first person! Baffle! At the broadstrokes stereotypical voice ticks! Cringe! At the dreadful 90s wailing guitar soundtrack! Wonder! How US Street Fighter II champion Tomo Ohira got wrapped up in all this? Get confused! Are the on-screen moves meant to match the hate speech? 61% less racism, but 24% more flirty back and forth here; and 100% more Capcom endorsed mullet meat and two veg technique here. Both from the same tape.
