(no subject)
No elaborate intros, no metaphors for the sweat and fury of the game. This podcast is simply the first interview of this tournament.
Roast Beef: what sizzles doggs this is roast beef, your head fight analysis muchacho here with my latest catch. say hello to May Lee, introduce yourself May, tell us what it says in the back cover flap of your life
May Lee: My... what? Hold on, can you say that again with less jive?
RB: basically i am asking you to do that most difficult of things, to sum yourself up. sorry for that but it's the kind of thing they make me do.
ML: Ha ha, well why didn't you say so? Well, I'm a 25 year old woman from Seoul, South Korea. I'm a student of Kim Kaphwan in his world renowned school of Tae Kwan Do. However that's only the most basic version... -she clears her throat-
I AM THE FLASHING STAR OF TEAM KOREA AND STAR STUDENT OF OUR NATION'S HERO, KIM KAPHWAN! I AM THE BURNING SPIRIT THAT IGNITES THE FLAME OF HOPE AND FIGHTS EVIL WITH HER OWN TWO FEET!
I AM A WARRIOR THAT FIGHTS FOR TRUTH!
JUSTICE!
AND THE KOREAN WAY!
I AM THE ONE AND ONLY DYNAMIC MAY LEE~!!!!
RB: There is a short pause while he recovers from that.
so you're basically gonna ride this burning spirit to victory then? sounds to me like a controlled fugue, but in a more positive, saturday morning cartoon kind of way. speaking of, what's your thoughts on your opponent, Angel? i did observe on the network that you are having a difference of opinion on the fighter's lifestyle, you being a straight-edge type and she being the kind to drink heck of frosty ones after each match and do other mischief such as writing her name on bathroom walls with sharpies
ML: Tch, she's more than just a mischief maker. Don't let her attitude fool you, she's an ex-assassin with a history of serving the evil orginization known as NESTS. I fought against her....and lost....six years ago. But now, I've had six years of hard work and discipline to stregthen me. I won't lose again and I'll show her the true path!
RB: interesting this is heck of cinematic. the good kid who flies straight avenging a loss to the one whose lifestyle more resembles that of pre record-deal Ice T. so describe your training then, what does a typical day look like
ML: Well, as one of Master Kim's top students, I begin my days at 5 am sharp. I run twenty laps around the House of Arms, get into the Training Hall and start doing squat thrust reps, as well as elevated leaps. The focus in Tae Kwan Do is obviously leg strength, though I'm pretty unorthodox as I spend some time with the rolling bag too.
RB: in researching I am seeing that, as we are taught, style mimics personality. angel's style involves heck of closeness and crashing the gates to ensnare you in a web of madness, and at the center of that web is, say, a camel clutch or boston crab. how do you intend to maintain your distance and keep her in the range where you can bring your specialty of kicks that rain down like an extinction causing meteor shower
ML: Man, you sure have a round about way of saying things, ha ha...
Well, Angel's biggest weapon is her Unchained Circle, and I don't intend to get caught like that so she can just hit me with grapple after grapple. So I've had the machines in the Training Hall helping me with my breaks. She won't know what hit her when I suddenly pop out an outside hook kick to her face.
RB: machines? you don't think it's a bad idea to be inputting incredible fighting attacks into artificial intelligences that are resentful of being our playthings and don't burn up in fire?
ML: Hey, that's what the Training Hall is for, right? I bet Angel hasn't trained a lick in the last six years.
RB: i always wonder about people like that, how did they ever get to be top man with an attitude that is basically "fuck it, time for stellas". anyway yours appears to be the most exciting fight on this card. don't swell your head too much though, your competition is a an alcaholic sailor and a blond hulk, two circus magicians throwing flash powder at each other and a naive nerdy girl getting beaten up by a one eyed skatecore predator.
ML: Oh jeez, that's right, Miss Yomiko is going against that asshole Wanajima. I hope she'll be alright...
RB: I refuse to comment that one. I signed up to narrate fights, not the my-lai massacre
ML: Well, hey, if she was invited as a fighter, that has to mean something, right? OH! I bet she has an awesome secret weapon when she gets mad, right? That's usually how types like her turn out.
As for the others...hmmm... Shanks is an alright guy, though way too laid back. Dio Brando creeps me right the heck out. Rose is my roomie, so I HAVE to root for her over that other woman. And Wanajima? Part of my wants him to make it to the finals JUST so I have the pleasure of kicking his ass personally.
RB: i hope she gets her limit break and fugues but somehow i think this will end in tragedy and lawsuits. well you've certainly got a drive to get up there in lights and spirit besides. i'm looking forward to seeing it. thank you ms. lee
ML: Not a problem, Roast Beef! I'll be sure to put on the best show you've ever seen!
