So for those who don't know, this was a poorly-translated line from Street Fighter II that made people think there was someone named Sheng Long, believed to be Ryu and Ken's master. Well, Sheng Long is a translation from Japanese through Chinese of Shoryuken, or Rising Dragon Punch, specifically the Rising Dragon part. The cool part is, if Sheng Long, or Shoryu, really was Ryu and Ken's master, he could have taught them the Shoryu Ken, just like Kaio-sama taught Goku the Kaioken (speaking of Sheng Long).

I wish Damiani would make these more often (well, Game Sleuth, its EZA successor show). Though I thought the last one was a little disappointing. Not entirely sure why.

I had a friend who actually went through the process to unlock Sonic and Tailes in Melee. 20 kills in Cruel Melee. Not an easy thing to do, and he got nothing for it (aside from the increased respect from those of us who played with him).

You could cheese this with DK by doing the ground pounding in a certain spot iirc.

Shouldn't that be the Sho Ryu Ken? And who's Sho then? The third student?

When I was young I totally fell for the tip on how to unlock Simon Belmont in TMNT 2: The Arcade Game

I never got EGM so I never got the chance to fall for their April Fools jokes...

But once, a long time ago, I would go to a website, the Odyssey of Hyrule, and there was a rumors section for how to get the Triforce (complete with fabricated pictures of having the Triforce) and I would try out every single one of them.

The fact that one of them required you to use a very real oversight to clip inside the outer part of Ganondorf's Castle and then jump into the middle of that conspicuous sinking part of the lava pool got me going for a bit until I realized it was just a death pit.

I miss that website, in spite of its host apparently being an egocentric jerk, though I never interacted with her so I never got to experience that. I just remember being really hyped for Majora's Mask because of that website using a MIDI of the Song of Storms to set the atmosphere for its Oddity of Hyrule page... which unfortunately is borked for the Wayback Machine

Yeah,, but he retired from fighting. These days he makes giant trash piles, calls it art, and calls people sons of digits.
