| It's always the Tekken with you! Enough with the Tekken already! Oy vey! |
Yeah,
I thought I was done with Tekken Revolution too. That is, until I opened the
media gallery on my cellphone yesterday and found this:
That’s
a screenshot from a video I took at about 4:12 a.m. on March 21, 2017. When TR kept
running after the advertised 3 a.m. shutdown time, I was left recording
aimlessly, trying to capture the exact moment the game went offline for good. Since
I’ve only got a few gigs to work with on my old-ass phone, I deleted most of
the dud footage as needed.
Anyway,
I opened my gallery and there that video was, like the cat that came back the
very next day or the stolen clown nose from that episode of Are You Afraid of
the Dark.
I
know what you’re thinking. “So what’s the big deal? You forgot to delete a
video. This is the worst creepypasta I’ve ever inexplicably copied and emailed
to my former rabbi.” Not so fast, dear reader. Take a look at the WINS counter.
What do you see?
That’s
right, 401.
If
you read my last article, you know that I spent the entire final day of Tekken
Revolution fighting my way to exactly
400 wins. A little secret: I tried a few times to get to 401, but got ripped in
half by better, more awake players.
So
where did the last victory come from?
After
3 a.m., I joined random battle lobbies trying
to catch interesting footage while I fell asleep on the couch. Maybe in my
bleary eyed, up-all-night state, I entered a fight somehow. You could be
getting your ass handed to you in Tekken Revolution, but if you lost the
connection to you opponent, you'd win!
It's a pretty solid, if unspectacular, explanation. But
none of the surviving footage backs that theory up. I have a video that ended
at 3:44 a.m. and this one, as I mentioned, which began at 4:12 a.m. So at some point
in-between, I acquired this phantom win.
What
happened in those 28 minutes, I’ll never know. But I think there’s a reasonable
explanation: You ever hear of missing time? It’s a common experience among
those who have been abducted by extraterrestrials…
