If you’re going to visit Ikebukuro there’s a Mikado Game Center with a NJPW arcade game from the late 90s. Toukon Retsuden 3 I think.

There’s just something about breaking tables that nourishes the human spirit.

It exposes that veterans don’t really understand much storytelling outside their wheelhouse. Riho’s style is she moves 3 steps ahead and uses death by a thousand cuts to wear down the opponent which then makes her dives and double stomps deal effective damage. But who else in USA ever did that? Rey?

I keep forgetting how often they run shows out of there. I think they’re early in the day too so that’s a good suggestion.
