characters add their own flair to the game at launch, with more to be added post-launch.

Brand New Game Modes: The Street Fighter franchise continues to hone its skills and redefine the fighting genre with the introduction of three new foundational modes – Fighting Ground, World Tour and Battle Hub.

Fighting Ground: Street Fighter 6 unites core fighting modes from previous titles – including Arcade Mode, online matches, Training Mode, local versus battles and more – to the Fighting Ground experience.

World Tour: World Tour is a single-player immersive story mode that pushes the boundaries of what a fighting game is and allows players to leave their own legacy with their player avatar.

Battle Hub: Battle Hub is a destination that provides players with new and unique ways to engage, communicate and interact with fighters from around the world.

In-Game Commentating: Street Fighter’s first-ever Real-Time Commentary Feature, supported with subtitles in 13 languages, incorporates the voices of popular Fighting Game Community (FGC) commentators and personalities like Vicious and professional wrestler Thea Trinidad directly into the game to narrate what is happening on-screen just like a real tournament.

Two New Control Schemes: Classic Controls returns alongside two brand new options:

Modern Controls allow you to perform special attacks with simple button combinations and are designed for players who want to fight without memorizing and practicing special move button combinations first.

Dynamic Controls only require a press of the Auto-Attack button to perform attacks and is a great control type to use when you have friends and family over for a quick, casual game.

Things I Wanted to Include for My V3 Rewrite - Part 2

The day everyone went to the Virtual World has now come to an end. My OC is in his room getting ready for bed. Kirumi comes knocking on his door to check up on him as always. She says that Kaito is doing fine and that Maki and Ryoma are doing the training stuff themselves.

I think I wanted this scene to involve my OC explaining more to Kirumi about why he doesn’t like RPGs since he refuses to go back to the Virtual World.

After Kirumi leaves his room, I wanted a scene where Kirumi is in the computer room doing something to that giant Xbox which is basically the Virtual World.

The next morning, when everyone is having breakfast, they then go outside to discover that...

Keebo is now equipped with all his robotic stuff from Chapter 6.

You know, like the cannon arm and jet-pack? I think I wanted Keebo to say something like he’s not turning back or something. Basically, it has to do with what he learned about the flashdrive my OC gave him. Keebo then gives back the flashdrive and says that he put something on it but my OC isn’t allowed to look at it until the right time.

After Keebo shows himself off, Kirumi tells everyone to go to the computer room for a surprise. She insists that they all log in to the Virtual World. Now I wrote that Keebo has to log in while standing up. My original idea was for him to log himself in by attaching wires from the giant Xbox to himself. There’s a reason for that and I’ll explain in a later time.

Now here’s one of the twists, when they all log in to the Virtual World for a 2nd time, they discover that...

The Virtual World is now a fighting game.

Kirumi explains that she tampered with the giant Xbox last night and says that she wants my OC to be happy and try the Virtual World in a different genre, one he is more familiar with. His objective is to fight the other classmates like in an arcade mode fighting game and defeating the final boss will win him another clue about the killing game.

In terms of what the Virtual World fighting game is like, the gameplay is 2D, but I wouldn’t say it’s as basic as Street Fighter or The King of Fighters. I always imagine it as being more like the fast paced fighting games by Arc System Works (i.e. Guilty Gear, Blazblue, Persona 4 Arena). These are the order of stages my OC faces.

Stage 1: OC vs Kirumi

I wanted to give Kirumi a broomstick as a choice of weapon, like the broomstick she has in her official art. As Stage 1, Kirumi explains to my OC how to play, but my OC simply wings it and starts the fight. Once he wins, Kirumi stands down and says that she’ll now watch the rest of the game from the sidelines. Kaede and Kokichi are watching too as they don’t look like the fighter types.

Stage 2: OC vs Ryoma

Ryoma’s weapon of choice is of course his tennis racket, like the one in his official art. He explains that he might be a bit rusty since he stopped playing tennis, but I wanted my OC to try and tell him something to give his spirits up. For my fanfic, I wanted to include a side-story that involved Ryoma going on a journey to try and overcome the depression he’s been going through, that’s why Kaito wanted him as a sidekick for my fanfic.

Stage 3: OC vs Tenko

I originally wrote a scene where my OC is having a spare match with Tenko at her lab. For my fanfic, Tenko is also a character that goes on a journey of change. My OC tries to convince her that not every male is degenerate and she eventually comes to be closer to my OC. Even though Tenko loses the match, she realizes that she actually had a fun time, but says that the next time they fight, she’ll have a better chance in the real world.

Stage 4: OC vs Kaito

Not much to say about this match. Basically, after losing the match, Kaito starts to feel sick and says that he wants to rest. So he logs out of the Virtual World and goes back to his room. I’ll just say that in my fanfic, Kaito’s illness gets worse and starts dying at a faster rate.

Stage 5: OC vs Korekiyo

After the match, Korekiyo becomes impressed by the ninja-like fighting style the Virtual World gave him, but he eventually says that he too wants to log out now that he lost the match.

Stage 6: OC vs Maki

In my fanfic, nobody but my OC knows that Maki is the Ultimate Assassin. The Virtual World fighting game however has Maki with an assassin-like fighting style and showcases her with weapons like knives and crossbows. My OC gets worried and tries to act like he doesn’t know anything. Maki is unimpressed with the fighting game and logs out too.

Final Stage: OC vs Keebo

Before the fight, Keebo tells my OC that he managed to decrypt the flashdrive and learned more about what was on it. He explains that there’s no going back now, but just when things looked like they were going ok, Keebo malfunctions and starts attacking aggressively during the match. My OC loses the match with Keebo winning via a perfect match (winning a match without taking damage). Suddenly, Keebo self-destructs.

Everyone still logged in gets worried. So they all decide to log out to see if something had happened. And they all log out to discover that…

Keebo is now the fourth victim.

To be continued…

Demo Trailer

A demo for Street Fighter 6 is now available for PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4, and will launch for Xbox Series X|S and PC via Steam on April 26, 2023. Additionally, Capcom announced that Rashid, A.K.I., Ed, and Akuma will make up the game’s first year of post-launch downloadable content characters, due out in summer 2023, fall 2023, winter 2024, and spring 2024, respectively.

Latest details

Welcome to World Tour

We showed off an all-new location in World Tour called Nayshall, a developing nation tucked away in a remote corner of Asia. You’ll meet iconic Masters and experience the world of Street Fighter with your own custom avatar as you hit the streets of Metro City, Nayshall, and other locations around the world in this new single-player story mode.

We introduced a number of RPG elements as well. You can consume items and food during battle or at eateries to recover Vitality, acquire buffs, or inflict debuffs. As you level up your avatar, you’ll earn Skill Points to spend on a Skill Tree to further customize your tailor-made move set.

Become a student of your favorite Masters – including all 18 launch characters – by Enrolling in their style and learning their Special Moves! Increase your bonds with Masters by giving them presents and completing Missions. Combine all of this to unlock new cutscenes as you form personal connections with these legendary fighters.

Show Off Your Style with Custom Avatar Battles

Build up your unique character in World Tour and then head into Battle Hub to join custom Avatar Battles against other players online! Use your avatar with Dhalsim’s fighting style, Zangief’s Screw Piledriver, and Ken’s Hadoken, or any other combination of abilities you’ve learned in World Tour to show off your own personal fighting style. Be wary because your opponent might have come up with an even wilder palette of moves.

Innovation in Accessibility

Street Fighter 6 is committed to supporting increased accessibility with innovative sound design that tells you how far away you are from your opponent, the height level of attacks, whether an attack is a cross-up, how much Drive Gauge remains, and more.

For newcomers and veterans alike, there are fleshed out Tutorials, Character Guides, and Combo Trials, which provide a solid foundation for each character.

Our third Control Type to go along with Classic and Modern is Dynamic, where you can unleash a character’s flashy moves by pressing the Auto-Attack button and having AI assist your attacks and combos!

Classic Fighting Game Experiences with Some Extra Spice

Arcade Mode is a single-player mode where you’ll face off against the computer and learn more about each fighter’s story. Complete Arcade Mode with each character to unlock and view beautiful illustrations in the Gallery. Your scores can also be uploaded to online leaderboards!

Play against other players or the computer by creating a team of up to 5 characters and customize the Match Format to your liking such as Single Elimination, Doubles, and Teams.

Extreme Battle introduces rulesets you’ll need to follow, along with fun features like Running Bulls or our own special version of hot potato. Play in Extreme Battle to learn more about the basics of the game or to unleash pure havoc at a party.

Play online against other players by creating a Custom Room. The four virtual cabinets in the room can be set to One on One, Extreme Battle, or Training. Custom Rooms can now include up to 16 players at a time and makes Online Training and Match Spectating easier than ever before!

Compete Against the World

Ranked Matches return and we’ve taken steps to reduce the pressure of losing a match in certain Ranks. First, we’ve added a one-time Rank-down protection feature for those in Diamond rank and below. Next, Rookies will no longer lose League Points upon defeat to encourage online play. Finally, Iron-Gold and Master rank players will not incur League demotions. Each character also has their own individual Rank, so trying new characters in Ranked Matches is more approachable than ever.

Wait—There’s More!

As a celebration of the entire Street Fighter series, we’re introducing the Battle Damage Feature! During fights, characters will get sweatier, develop cuts and bruises, along with other signs of heated battle appearing on their faces and clothing. This is only available in certain offline modes and can be turned off in Settings.

We showed off how players can create a Club in the Battle Hub to play with friends and find like-minded players. Customize your Club emblem and design a uniform that only your Club’s members can show off.

Get Ready for Year One with Four New Characters!

Rashid of the Turbulent Wind, who debuted in Street Fighter V, returns in summer 2023. The enigmatic A.K.I. struts into the roster in fall 2023. Ed, the Young Commander from Street Fighter V, also strikes back in early winter 2024. And finally, the legend himself, the beast, the transcendent Akuma will rage into Street Fighter 6 in spring 2024! All four of these characters will be included as Masters in World Tour following their release and are also included in the Deluxe and Ultimate Editions of Street Fighter 6.

Demo Available Now

Power up your PlayStation 5 or PlayStation 4 and play the demo now! Players on Xbox Series X|S or PC will have access starting on April 26 at 12am PT. You can learn basic battle mechanics from the Tutorial and practice Luke & Ryu’s moves and fighting style in the Character Guide. Dip a toe into the first few moments of World Tour where you can experiment with the deep avatar creation feature. Custom avatars can be transferred over to the full game on the same platform once it releases!

Street Fighter 6 will launch for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, and PC via Steam on June 2, 2023.

Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World (2010)

Smoking: Jaaayyysss

So this is another favorite. RomCom with a video game feel 😊 I’m not the biggest fan of Michael Cera, but I do like some of the movies he is in. Scott is in a relationship with a girl name Knives, played by Ellen Wong, and falls in love with another girl named Ramona Flowers played by Mary Elizabeth Winstead. Scott has to battle all of Ramona’s ex’s in order to date her. Collects coins, levels up, acquires skills and objects.

I for one am a fan of the music that is played in the movie. Scott is in a band and I dig their music.

The ever amazing and beautiful Anna Kendrick is in this movie. She plays Scott’s sister, if I’m not mistaken she only shows up in phone calls with Scott. Hmmm, lets watch and find out! Lol! Then Aubrey Plaza, her ever creepy beautiful self, is playing a creepy girl, surprise lol!

Knives and Scott go to an arcade and play this ninja game that is like dance dance revolution games. I wish it was real, or if it is, I wish I lived near it so I could play. It looks like more fun than DDR. But who am I kidding myself, I wouldn’t be able to do those things.

Geeze… Apparently Scott just dates and dates around. I never really realized that before.

He ordered something on amazon and just sits and waits at the door for it to be delivered. We’ve all don’t that lol.

Time for jay 2!

Throughout this whole movie there are different video game type references and I love it! MC was just walking to the bathroom and he had a “Pee Bar” and it was yellow and showing full. Then as he was using it, the bar reduced...

And I was wrong!! AK is at the bar where the battle of the bands is going to be. So not always over the phone.

Now for the first Ex fight. Matthew Patel, played by Satya Bhabha. It’s almost like a version of street fighter. With a story line surrounding 7 Ex-lovers.

One of the Ex-lovers is Chris Evans!

~side note~ I just found a lighter in my jacket pocket. I have no idea why it was in there… but it was.

Back to Chris Evans, he is Ex 2, fight 2!

How funny. I never realized he mentions getting blazed. Guess this was the perfect movie to do my Reefers and Reviews.

Brie Larson plays Scott’s Ex Envy Adams. It was a pretty rough break up. Well for Scott. She ends up coming back into town while everything is going on with Ramona’s exes.

Ex #3 – Todd Ingram, played by Brandon Routh. Who is also dating Envy. He’s super because he is a vegan apparently lol. Says that being vegan makes you better than most people.

Ex #4 – Roxy Richter, played by Mae Whitman. “I’m a little bi-furious!” She’s this like ball of furry and I think she looks so adorable with her pigtails and goth look!

Ex #5 and #6 – The Katayanagi Twins, played by Keita Saitou and Shôta Saitô. Final part of the battle of the bands and Scott’s last battle before he has to face the most recent and evil Ex Gideon. The battle with the twins is my favorite. The music takes on different forms of creatures and they fight that way. Very trippy and cool looking.

Now big Numero 7! Gideon Graves, played by Jason Schwartzman. The last battle. Mano y Mano.

Not gonna lie, Gideon is a douche. But Scott kind of is too…

I love a movie with a katana. Kill Bill should be on my list to review. Love Uma Therman in that.

Once again, trying not to ruin the movie or certain parts. That is it for now!

Thanks for stopping by ❤

-RRR

Street Fighter 6 is coming to Steam’s biggest battle royale

PUBG and Street Fighter 6. It initially appears to be an odd combination. The beat-'em-up from Capcom emphasises quick combinations, melee fighting, and stylishly dispatching adversaries. Contrarily, in Krafton's battle royale game, players typically use strategic approaches, attack their opponents from a distance, and die in a depressing and frequently comical manner. However, with the most recent PUBG partnership, you can at least appear semi-cool in costumes inspired by Chun-Li, Ryu, Cammy, and more, even if you do get wiped out with a Molotov in the first phase. A tonne of new rewards and equipment have also been added, in addition to changes to the new arcade game types. It's time for some elegant play in the largest battle royale on Steam. First up, whether you’re a Chun-Li or a Luke main, the Street Fighter 6 PUBG crossover has your back with a slew of new character skins based on Capcom’s superb fighting game. Cammy, Ryu, Luke, and Chun-Li are all here, available as purchasable, full-character skins between Wednesday, July 26 and Wednesday, September 20. If you want to push things a little further, we challenge you to score as many melee kills while dressed in SF6 garb as possible. Just imagine your poor opponent’s face, as they’re punched to the ground by a synchronized squad of rampaging Cammys. We’ve also got the PUBG Survivor Summerfest. Until Wednesday, September 13, the mission hub website will continually update with new objectives to complete. Completing these rewards you with ‘summer stamps,’ and puts you in contention for a variety of both in-game and real-world prize draws. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9Z8-N1Vto0 In-game, you can win a special, event-themed nameplate and 500 G-Coin. Complete three or four of the summer missions, however, and you could nab a Razer keyboard, mouse, and headset, or a high-spec Intel gaming PC. You can check out the mission hub here. Finally, the smaller-scale, fast-paced new Bluebomb Rush mode is now available. On a dedicated, Counter-Strike-esque map, ‘Riviera,’ two teams of six compete for control of the blue zone. Competing in Bluebomb Rush earns you special arcade points that can be used to redeem dedicated in-game gear. Across the rest of PUBG, there will also be special drop events where you can collect new weapon skins and emotes. The Street Fighter 6 PUBG collaboration begins with update 24.2, which is live now, Wednesday, July 12 on PC, and comes to consoles Thursday, July 20. If you’re a big PUBG buff, take a look at some of the other best multiplayer games. You might also want to try the best FPS games on PC. Read the full article

Street Fighter 6 Review (PlayStation 5)

For this Street Fighter 6 Review, we play a game that represents the next evolution of the Street Fighter series! Street Fighter 6 spans three distinct game modes, including World Tour, Fighting Ground, and Battle Hub.

- Stunning graphics. - 54.30GB download size. - Platinum trophy. - Graphics settings - mode (performance/quality), fighting ground background object density, motion blur, and screenshake. - Subtitles option with background settings. - Uses the controller speaker. - Connects with Capcom ID (optional). - Three game areas - world tour, online multiplayer, and fighting ground. - Transfer PlayStation 4 save option. - Controller settings - three types (modern/dynamic/classic), five custom presets, button release input (on/off), rebind controls, reset bindings, and test the settings. - CFN (Capcom Fighters Network) is its own in-game system where you can follow and interact with other players. Clubs act a bit like clans and give out unique clothing, and you can see replays and leaderboards. - Fighting gameplay. - Avatar creator that goes into crazy detail and lets you tweak absolutely everything. - Supports multiple controllers connected at once so you could have a controller for all the hub and menu stuff and a stick for fighting. - Battle hub matches by two players sitting at an arcade cabinet. You can fight or spectate. - In the Battle Hub, you can see other players in real-time. - Battle pass system is going to be in the game and it shows what and how it will work with free and paid tiers and also shows off some of the tasks you will get in order to level the battle pass up. - Both in-game currency and real money currency. - Your avatar physique matters such as long limbs means you have a longer reacher, a thinner frame makes it harder to hit you, etc. - If you make an avatar in the battle hub or world tour then the avatar transfers over except you can still edit again. - World Tour has an optional tutorial section then goes for pop-ups as you play. - You can skip the cutscenes and fast-forward conversations. - World Tour is a completely new thing, you can free-roam the world, take on and complete missions and start fights. - Your phone is the system used for the menu and here you take missions, interact, etc. - The game world in world tour is fully 3D and you have a 360-degree camera control. - Characters in world tour have a difficulty level above their head. - Earn EXP in World Tour and level up to increase your stats and get skill points to unlock new moves and abilities. - Customize your phone. - Earn and buy new clothing items - hat, top, outfit, pants, shoes, and gloves. - Find loot chests in the world tour locations. - Combo counter. - Breakable objects in a fight. - Full photo mode. - World Tour does have bad guys who obscure their faces or have a red outline and will hunt you down. - The Battle hub has rotating games from Capcom past to play like FINAL fight or the original Street Fighter 2. - On a world tour, you can buy and earn soundtracks which can then be selected to act as background music. - Be one a student of a legendary Fighter who unlocks their fight styles, attacks, and moves. - Miles is like a currency in a world tour that you earn from fights, chests, and doing actions. You use them for continues in fights. - When using a legendary Fighters style the exp you earn goes towards earning new moves from the Fighter. - World Tour does throw in fights against multiple people at once. - Clothing can also increase stats. - The locations on the world tour are huge. - When you unlock a load of moves from Fighters you can mix and match them to your liking. - Bus stops are used as fast travel points within the world tour mode. - Find arcade cabinets in the game world and play them! - Arcade cabinet games do have some basic settings. - Boss fights in world tour are the traditional best of three fights. - Unlock new ways to expand exploration of the world like climbing and breaking items. - Mini-games can be found and replayed on the world tour. - Day and night cycle where enemies appear more at night yet daytime is easier enemies. (you change the time by resting at a hangout) - World Tours' general flow and how the missions and interactions happen feel VERY Yakuza-like to me which is brilliant as they nailed it. - Unlock the ability to have a transmog meaning where you want and keep the stats/buffs. - Flight tickets can be found/earned on a world tour where you can then go to any unlocked locations in the world. - As you see people in the world tour mode you can hit first which weakens the enemy and gives you the upper hand. - Handy mission markers and icons. Street Fighter 6 Review Cons: - No Capcom ID means no online play or other features. - World Tour and Fighting Ground are say seperate downloads and the game doesn't tell you this plus they are under manage game content on the PlayStation 5 menu. - You only get the PlayStation 5 version. - On world tours, they use character models a lot. - Characters within the world tour just appear. - Not a huge fan of clothing having stats increases attached to them. This does get rectified later on but early on it's a bitch. - World Tour only opens up if you play the main objectives because otherwise, you won't get new abilities to use in the world. - The world tour mode does take a long time to get going as in being the Fighter you want to be or looking how you want to look. - Nighttime can get very chaotic and cause many annoying fight-after-fight situations. - Never sure when the world tour saves.

Game 6: SNK Vs. Capcom: The Match of The Millennium (Jan 2023) 💖

There is always someone more talented than you, that old saying? I think this game is encompasses that. I honestly didn't think I get such an outstanding fighting game experience on the little Neo Geo Pocket, but here The Match of The Millennium is to tell me exactly that it is what it says on the box. There is so much love and dedication to this game, and it's sources of material. From the various character sprites to mini games to it's music, this game shines above and beyond the library of Neo Geo Pocket.

Nearly every character in this game has their own soundtrack, additional super moves to unlock, and unique introductions to other characters. To say that this game has personality is honestly underselling it. While understandably the idea of locked super moves and secret characters has been a hot button issue with fighting games; the way The Match of The Millennium does it in an Unobtrusive way. You unlock fighters through beating arcade mode, and on various difficulties you unlock more blocks that are blocking said new character to be added to the roster. In addition, everything you do gets you a certain amount of money to spend on various goodies, most of which being super moves. In addition to arcade and versus mode, you can play the SNK Vs. Capcom Olympic mode to get more money to spend. What makes Olympic so interesting tho is that instead of regular fighting game stuff, we also get a variety of mini games to play featuring characters from either company. While each game may have varying amount difficulty, there is honestly enough here to at least charm a player to play it.

I don't want to be selling the fighting for this game short though as it more than holds up it's own compared to other Neo Geo Pocket games. Heck, I'd even argue that The Match of The Millennium is such a well done fighter that it gives plenty of console games a run for it's money. The controls are just so responsive, they kept everything simple, and in a lot of ways plays better than some other versus fighter games. You're honestly just going to be getting a lot fast paced fighting akin to street fighter II rather than the touch of death comboing the likes of Marvel vs. Capcom tend to have. While both types of fighting are a blast to play, it was clear why they made the game the way they did, and honestly I feel is a good showcase of how simple is sometimes better.

SNK did an amazing job with The Match of The Millennium. If there is any game that convinced me the power of the Neo Geo Pocket, it be this game. While I doubt we will ever see a rise of the Neo Geo, I'm at least thankful for making such a simple robust versus fighting game that has uddles of charm like The Match of The Millennium does. If you haven't had the chance to play this game, and consider yourself a fan of fighting games, don't miss out on this one.

#SNK Vs. Capcom #SNK Vs. Capcom The Match of a Millennium #Neo Geo Pocket Color #SNK #Lost Reviews #FOR REAL #HOW THE FUCK IS THIS SO GOOD????#I kid you not just how much content #and how well the fighting is #even the story has a bit of meat to it #like legit #pick this up on steam or something #it's too cute #LET IT BE AT EVO #Or at least have some sort of fighting scene

How to choose the right game truck for your event

When planning a game truck rental event, there are a few important factors to consider in order to choose the right game truck for your event.

Capacity: How many people do you expect to be playing at once? Game trucks typically accommodate up to 32 players at a time, so if you have a large group, you may need more than one truck.

Age group: What is the age range of your guests? Some game trucks cater to younger kids, while others are geared towards teens and adults. Choose a truck that offers games that will be appropriate and enjoyable for your guests.

Event duration: How long do you want the event to last? Some game trucks can accommodate shorter events, while others require a longer minimum rental time. Make sure to choose a truck that will fit the length of your event.

Budget: Game trucks can vary widely in price, so it's important to consider your budget when choosing one. Get quotes from several different companies before making your final decision.

Tips for hosting a successful game truck rental event

If you're thinking about renting a game truck for your next party or event, there are a few things you can do to make sure it's a success. Here are some tips:

1. Choose the right location. The game truck should be parked in a flat, level spot with easy access for guests. Make sure there's enough room for the truck and any other vehicles that will be attending the event.

2. Send out invitations early. Give guests plenty of notice so they can clear their schedules and make arrangements to attend.

3. Promote the event. Use social media, flyers, and word-of-mouth to get the word out about the event. The more people you can get to come, the better!

4. Have plenty of food and drinks on hand. Guests will want refreshments while they're playing games, so make sure you have plenty of snacks and drinks available.

5. Create a fun atmosphere. Encourage guests to dress up in costumes or bring props to use during gameplay. Play music and have other activities going on nearby to create a festive atmosphere.

6. Keep an eye on the time. Make sure you start wrapping up the event well before the game truck's scheduled pickup time so everyone has a chance to say goodbye and thank you for coming before they leave.

http://www.zeldainformer.com/the_entirely_valid_completely_believable_theory_of_a_tetraforce/

In Zelda there is a theory called the tetraforce theory.

The triforce is made up of three yellow triangles. The three triangles represent wisdom, power, and courage. The Hylian Shield in Ocarina of Time, however, has a fourth triangle below the triforce symbol. THe shield is illustrated above. It was hypothesized that this fourth triangle was the fourth force in the triforce. We see, thereby, the quaternity principal at play. The three is becoming four, or at least there is a different fourth component that does not seem to belong.

The number four is significant in Zelda. The prominence of the number four in Zelda leads “tetraforce conspirators” to believe that there is a fourth part of the triforce.

Some examples of four in Zelda are

There are four giants in Majora's Mask.

The Assassin's Creed poster shows the assasin in cruciform.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4X

The term "4X" originates from a 1993 preview of Master of Orion in Computer Gaming World by Alan Emrich, in which he rated the game "XXXX" as a pun on the XXX rating for pornography. The four Xs were an abbreviation for "EXplore, EXpand, EXploit and EXterminate".[1]

Explore means players send scouts across a map to reveal surrounding territories.

Exploit means players gather and use resources in areas they control, and improve the efficiency of that usage.

Expand means players claim new territory by creating new settlements, or sometimes by extending the influence of existing settlements.

Exterminate means attacking and eliminating rival players. Since in some games all territory is eventually claimed, eliminating a rival's presence may be the only way to achieve further expansion.

Secrets Don’t Make Friends || Ariana & Layla

timing: Tuesday night (6/16) after Layla Hypnotize’s herself. parties: @letsbenditlikebennett & @laylacooke summary: Just a girls night out. NBD.

While it was becoming more and more apparent to people that there was something different about Layla, she had been trying to keep it from Ariana. She did promise her, after all, that she wouldn’t experiment with the fidget spinner, and Ari knowing what Layla had done would mean someone trying to take her freedom away. Instead, she decided a nice girl’s night out was the answer and invited her best friend to Quarter to play some games. Leaning against the door waiting, Layla flirted with a nearby guy who had been waiting for someone as well. However, when she saw Ariana, she stood up, put on a smile, and walked over to her friend, “Hey, I was wondering where you were. You ready for Girl’s Night Out?”

Ariana had no idea what was going on, but she was already sick of it. Ulfric made it sound as if something had happened. Even so, that didn’t justify how she had treated Blanche at all. She tried to keep Ulfric’s advice in mind, but she still had this gut feeling that she’d done something with the fidget spinner. From what she knew of Layla, she could even hurt a fly. Hell, she wouldn’t even eat a cheeseburger or drink a glass of milk. No amount of hurt would drive her to hurt others without reason. She needed to see for herself and try to reason with her. Whatever she was going through, she needed to lean on the people she cared for instead of taking it out on everyone else. She walked into Quarter, leather jacket on and scowl fading when she saw Layla. “Girls night, it is,” she said, looking her over carefully for any sign of something being out of place. She lacked a certain warmth she’d grown used to, but she was acting mostly normal. “Any favorite arcade games? I always love the basketball one since I’m really good at it.”

Since shit had hit the fan with Blanche, and the girl had blabbed to Ariana, Layla knew things were going to be awkward. She could see it in her friend’s face, when she entered the arcade. But it didn’t really phase the teenager. Causing a commotion had been fun, and when she pushed buttons and people pushed back, the redhead felt like she was accomplishing something, “Never been a basketball fan. Not after one of the team members from high school hit on my girlfriend. Was more a Dance, Dance Revolution type girl. Although tonight, I’m really feeling Street Fighter. Maybe we start with basketball and work our way back to some fighting?” The grin on her face was apparent, but there was something different about her eyes. They were almost hollow.

Something was decidedly off and Ariana really wasn’t liking this. She was in a Street Fighter mood? Was that supposed to be some sort of joke? Like punching Blanche and trashing her car hadn’t been enough of a fight for her day? She cocked an eyebrow at Layla, trying to fight off the annoyed look present on her face. Ulfric said she was going through a lot and she believed him, but this wasn’t okay. She was going through a lot, too, and she still had common fucking decency. She let out a huff of air and said, “Let’s go for Dance, Dance Revolution. Think I’d rather skip the Street Fighter. Plus, I think you had enough of that today.” Shit. She hadn’t meant for the pointed comment at the end to come out.

Layla had been willing to play the game. Be the same weak animal that Ariana knew and loved. Arcade night was something the old Layla had wanted. Something to bond her to the people she felt probably didn’t give a rat’s ass about her. And when the other teenager was down for Dance, Dance Revolution, the redhead was willing to follow; at least until the comment at the end came out, “Huh? What was that, Ariana?” She had known exactly what was said, but she wanted to see what her friend had to say. Cocking her head to the side, she waited patiently for a response arms now crossed over her chest.

Ariana could feel her fists clenching as Layla cocked her head all coyly and asked her to repeat herself as if she didn’t have fucking werewolf hearing. Everything in Ariana was screaming that she had definitely used that fidget spinner. She wasn’t herself at all. She rolled her eyes and repeated, “I said I think you’ve had enough street fighting for one day. Which what the hell anyway? You’re not a violent person. You won’t even eat a damn omelet because chickens or whatever.”

“That’s what I thought you had said.” Layla’s eyes shifted downwards to Ari’s clenched fists. Letting her gaze move back upwards, a smile remained on her face, “Oh, sweet Ariana. Ulf didn’t tell you, did he? Or Simon. I mean, Clifford, I can understand, because I asked him not to. Simon...Simon just blabbed to Salva. Which, it’s funny, I haven’t seen Daddy Dearest around lately. Might need to go pay him a visit soon, but I digress.” Glancing around, she noticed the arcade had been nearly empty, “Wanna know a secret?” She leaned in and whispered, “I killed somebody.”

Everything about the way Layla was looking and talked to her just felt wrong. Ariana knew she could probably hear the spike in her heart rate if her clenched fists and red cheeks hadn’t given her away. Then she spoke of Simon and Ulfric not telling her something and the previously stony glare softened. That was why Ulfric told her not to push. She reached out but hesitated and brought her arms back to her sides. “Layla,” she started softly, “I’m so sorry. I didn’t know. Was it--” She stopped herself, not wanting to push too much. Knowing how hard it was still for her to talk about what happened on prom night and remembering the small gift Nell gave her of not making her talk about it. “You don’t have to tell me what happened, but you also don’t need to lash out at people. We’re here for you. We want to support you, it doesn’t have to be like this, Lay.”

She was thriving off Ariana’s anger, but when she noticed that the girl had changed her demeanor, it confused Layla. Why wasn’t she wanting to fight her? She had killed somebody. Ripped them to shreds. When the fidget spinner had taken her conscience, any and all moral direction had gone out the door, but the look in Ariana’s eyes had angered the werewolf. She didn’t want to feel anything. Were the effects of the device wearing off? Surely not. She had hypnotized herself. That she could recall. But the way Frankie had left her mid conversation, earlier in the day, hadn’t felt good and those feelings were pouring into what was supposed to be an entirely different experience for her and Ariana, “Why aren’t you mad at me, Ariana? I killed a man. I ripped him apart. Limb from limb and listened to him scream and beg and plead for mercy.” Yes, Layla had done those actions, but it was before she had ever used the fidget spinner on herself. She didn’t like this. She just wanted to cause chaos and be what everyone had made her out to be; a monster. And without giving it second thought, she ran her fist through one of the nearby machines.

Her eyebrows knit together in confusion as Layla questioned why she wasn’t made at her. Ariana knew it had to be during the full moon. Something must have gone wrong with chaining herself up and she knew it was an accident. She knew how that had to weigh on her. She’d been so concerned with making sure she hurt no one and then to kill someone. Sure, she didn’t like how she was handling this, but it wasn’t something Ariana could relate to either. She’d killed someone who deserved it, who killed Celeste and intended to kill her, and she would do it again, except this time she’d do it before he ever got the chance to hurt Celeste. That didn’t matter right now though, Layla was clearly hurting, and she wondered if maybe she used the fidget spinner to help. “Why would I be mad? You didn’t do it on purpose, right,” she asked, hands fidgeting in front of her, unsure if reaching out would be welcomed, “Look, all we can do is make sure it doesn’t happ--” The sight of Layla’s fist plunging into Pac Man cut her short and she reached for her arm, trying to hold it in place. “I get that you’re upset, but you gotta chill with the property destruction before you get yourself arrested.”

Layla’s breathing was heavy. She was mad. Mad at the world. At her parents. At herself. But it just didn’t matter. Nothing mattered. At least it shouldn’t have, and then she remembered it. The fidget spinner that was lingering just in her pocket. Even in all the destruction she had caused, she didn’t want to be alone, and maybe she didn’t have to be. Jerking her hand away, refusing to listen to her friend, she pulled out the device, “Sorry, but not sorry, Ariana. It’s never fun when you have to play alone.” Holding it up, she flicked the toy with the hopes that she could hypnotize the other wolf, but she had to remember not to watch it herself or all her hard work would be for not.

Every suspicion Ariana had about the fidget spinner was confirmed when she spoke and pulled the fidget spinner out of her pocket. Absolutely the fuck not. She’d just barely avoided herself or Ulfric arrested for murder. She wasn’t about to be under the control of Layla and a damn fidget spinner. Her eyes immediately averted away from the spinner, making sure it didn’t draw her in, and she lunged on Layla, bringing her down to the ground. “I knew it,” she growled, trying to pin the other wolf down and grab the spinner from her hands, “Give me that fucking thing.”

She kept her eyes clear fighting the urge to look at it, but when Ariana caught on and shoved her to the ground, Layla growled, “No!!!!” Gripping it tightly, while the other wolf tried to pull it from her hands, she fought back, “Let. Go. Ariana!!! This is the only thing I have giving me any fucking reason for still being here!” The words slipped out. Deep down in her heart, the day she did it, Layla was crashing. With the way Frankie had come to see her, and the feeling of never being able to get past killing a man, the fidget spinner had been a last resort, before thinking about other means. Refusing to let go, she gave Ari a good hard shove in hopes that it would get the young wolf off her.

Of course, she couldn’t make this easy. Ariana didn’t want to fight her for it, but it was looking like she’d have to. When Layla said it was the only thing keeping her here, Ariana felt a surge of both heartbreak and anger hitting her. She hated that Layla was going through all of this but running away from what you were feeling was never the answer. Plus, what she was doing was destructive and dangerous to others if Blanche and her car were any evidence. She growled as Layla pushed her off her and immediately lunged again, but missed and hit the pinball machine instead, sending it toppling over. “You think you’re the only one hurting right now? Come on, Layla,” she jumped up off the ground, adrenaline making her ignore the pain in her side, “You can’t just use this thing to run away from your emotions and take me down with you. Give it to me.” She did her best to back Layla into a corner, pushing her toward the back of the arcade where the security guard wouldn’t see them.

When Ariana was off her, Layla scrambled to her feet, the fidget spinner tight in her grip. She wasn’t going to give it up. It was like a drug she never knew she had needed. However, the pinball machine hitting the ground made her jump back. With adrenaline racing through her veins, she was getting exactly what she had wanted; a fight with Ariana, but it felt different. It felt off. She had wanted to start some chaos. Not chaos with a purpose. But before she could even think of leaving, she felt Ariana pushing her away from the exit and towards the back wall, “But that’s just it, Little Wolf. I don’t feel anything. And you could have that too, if you’d just let me use-” Before she could say anything, she felt her feet get tripped up, and Layla went falling backwards into the Street Fighter machine, her head hitting the control panel pretty hard, along with her hand containing the toy. Unable to hold onto it, the fidget spinner flew out and slid under one of the machines nearby. In a daze, she slowly looked around for where the device had gone but couldn’t find it.

As much as she wanted to listen to Ulfric and try to understand, Ariana was fuming. Her features were etched in a glare and her fists were up, ready to continue fighting. Maybe having no feelings felt like the right answer for Layla, even though it clearly fucking wasn’t, but Ariana didn’t want her own feelings taken away. Already, there were so many days where her grief felt crippling, but it was hers and she wanted to feel it. And she wanted to feel the love, the anger, the joy, and the hope that life still had to offer. “No,” she retorted firmly, “I want to feel this. This and everything else. You can’t take that from me, and you shouldn’t be taking it from yourself.” Her eyes lit up as Layla fell back with her shove and dropped the fidget spinner. She propelled herself forward, using the advantage of her small frame to wedge herself between machines so she could reach for the fidget spinner. With it in hand, she intended on crushing it, but she felt herself being pulled out from the small space she squeezed herself into.

Coming to her senses, she watched as Ariana squeezed into the space where the fidget spinner was. Scrambling to her knees, she reached out and grabbed the girl’s leg. Digging claws in, she made sure the grip on Ari was tight, but as the fidget spinner was on the verge of being crushed, Layla faltered feeling an immense amount of pain shoot through her head of all the guilt she was facing if the toy was destroyed. Letting out a howl, she knew what the other wolf was trying to do. Pushing through the pain, she yanked Ariana out and crawled up on top of her towards the girl’s hand. Without holding back, Layla produced fangs and bit down on the brunette’s arm to get her to release the toy.

Ariana let out a yelp of pain as she felt claws digging into her leg. “Bitch,” she grumbled, trying to fight being dragged out from between the machines and keeping her fist clenched tightly around the fidget spinner. The howl Layla let out definitely had the attention now on them. Fuck. Layla was on top of her now and she couldn’t exactly throw a punch without risking giving up the fidget spinner. Without a beat, she thrusted her head forward, colliding it into Layla’s face. It left her own head throbbing and Layla’s nose bleeding. She kept the spinner clenched in her left fist as she tried to crush it in her palms. The teeth sinking into her arms caused her to loosen her grip and drop the damn spinner. “Layla, stop,” she groaned, trying to grab the spinner before she could reach it again.

The headbutt came as a shock and left tears in her eyes and her nose throbbing fiercely as Layla released Ariana’s arm from her mouth, “You fucking bitch! I think you broke my nose!” Trying to shake off the pain, she could feel blood coming out of her nose leaving her stunned. However, through clouded eyes, she saw the light reflecting off the fidget spinner. Launching herself onto it, she grabbed the toy and felt relief come over her tense body, “I’m sorry, Little Wolf, but no. This is my only lifeline, and the only way I’m gonna survive.” There was an ounce of humanity in her voice, possibly as a result of the cracked device. Pulling her arm up to her bleeding face, she looked at the toy before looking at Ariana one last time. Slowly getting to her feet with the assist of a nearby gaming machine, she took off towards the front door.

With Layla heading toward the door and the guy running the prize counter quickly approaching, Ariana leapt off the floor, her leg still searing in pain from the wound Layla’s claws left. She rushed out the door, but Layla had been too quick, and she was beginning to feel lightheaded. The trail of blood she left behind her was indication that she probably shouldn’t be walking home or chasing anyone right now. She groaned and suppressed the urge to cry. She hadn’t loved that she’d been right or that Layla was still putting herself in danger with that thing. She hobbled away from Quarter in case the cops showed up and tucked herself quietly into an alley. She’d get Ulfric to pick her up. For now, she ripped part of her shirt so she could apply pressure to the bleeding claw marks on her leg. This girls’ night out had been far from successful.
