I posted about this in the SFA zone, but I thought other people might enjoy.
A little background:
Mikado is a Tokyo arcade that’s been a SuperTurbo hotspot for a bit.
The last couple months they’ve been running Alpha 2 tourneys just for fun.
I wouldn’t otherwise be interested in the SFA2 movies but my hero^H^H^H^H^H^H^H a pretty good ST Blanka player, Komoda (under the nick Ojiki,) has won three in a row.
So on July 8th one of the entrants was:
Nazo no Otoko - the Mystery Man
And they posted this special movie…

I did a quickie TL of the text. This is probably better if you try to read along instead of reading it all in advance?
