Today also marks 21 years since Dead or Alive Ultimate was released. I'm telling you, Team Ninja captured lightning in a bottle with this timeless masterpiece.
P.S. Rest in peace, Tomonobu Itagaki. Your contributions to the world of gaming will never be forgotten.

Happy 25th anniversary of the PlayStation 2's launch in the United States! To this day, this iconic video game console remains one of my all-time favorites, right next to the original Xbox.

The PlayStation 2 and, by extension, Ridge Racer V launched 25 years ago today in Japan. Just saying that blows my mind, because how have two and a half decades passed since one of my favorite consoles was released?

Personally, I think this outfit looks like a mature version of Kelly's design from the first Bust A Groove game.

Even after learning about Shun'ei's backstory, I still think he needs a better design. Falcoon certainly had the right idea.

Godspeed to you for doing the Art of Fighting crew justice once again. This masterpiece that you shared three years ago has to be one of your best illustrations, bar none.
