Tekken tribute to Jang Niksu

Tekken tribute to Jang Niksu.

When i started out playing tekken, i saw this group of people at the T5 machines who would be pretty much destroying the competition, and among them, was this mishima user, who was doing very weird things. Then i realised, it was the thing i saw in videos, but had never ever seen in person. Wavedashing. Wow. To me, who couldn't even sidestep properly then, it was like looking at some... some....... some....... korean....

So as i started playing with the tksg crew, through jac's friendliness, i plucked up the courage to challenge this crazy expert kazuya who was causing the lights at TKA to flicker with all his electrics. I remember i used baek then, rather cheap, d/b4 winning me quite a few games. Of course he rocked me for the large, large, large part. Even while i was gaping in awe at his total ownage, he managed to impress me more with his casual and friendly demeanor.

He doesn't play the game so much, since then, but still rocks people with a casualness that puts the general populace to great shame. Not only does he boast excellent technique, but he's always offering a friendly presence to people, and i really liked that post early in this blog, where he believes in himself playing a part in developing, and being responsible for, the tekken community.

He does up great videos, goes the extra mile to add a personal touch to them. Its not tekken vids anymore, its tksg vids. Community vids. We remember the times spent on those game more than the games themselves.

A toast then, to this rocking fella, on this day when he holds his 21st birthday party. Coming of age in the figurative sense, but to all his friends this person has always been a man, a man of manly proportions. Sorry i couldn't stay till cake cutting, hope you had (are having) a great time. GG!

(I only do this for 21st birthdays. lol)

PS: I still prefer Nik to Nick.
