Pocky & Socky

Should you’re ready on tenterhooks for Capcom’s Avenue Fighter 6, then by no means worry, because the veteran developer has you coated with this baffling adaptation of the genre-defining Avenue Fighter II, now layered thickly with the chocolate-coated biscuit snack treats recognized the world over as “Pocky”.

Sure, in a brand new promotional occasion, Capcom and Pocky distributor Ezaki Glico have created a variant of the 1991 arcade basic, freshly populated with these snack treats your anime-loving buddy eats by the truckload. Specifically adorned “Pocky Ok.O.” containers will likely be distributed all through Japan from tomorrow, November 29, with photos of the unique World Warriors emblazoned on the packaging. Inside, a particular code will afford entry to Avenue Fighter II: Pocky Version, which will be performed on cell platforms and net browsers.

What this boils all the way down to is a sometimes common version of the grandfather of preventing video games, imbued with further Pocky promoting. For instance, characters will maintain Pocky sticks/containers of their fingers throughout victory poses. As a bizarre contact, gamers can obtain a particular “Pocky Ok.O.” when the well being bar hits the right chocolate-to-biscuit ratio on a median Pocky stick. Baffling. They might have at the least utilized Rainbow Version physics.

Pocky? Partial Credit score!

After all, I’m probably not indignant about it. It’s darn tragic, thoughts, but it surely’s innocent enjoyable. It’s not even the primary time that Pocky and Avenue Fighter have collaborated. Who remembers Avenue Fighter V‘s comparatively pointless “Pocky Ok.O. Problem” — a match that featured the identical “candy spot” {qualifications} for touchdown that elusive Pocky Ok.O.? Glico has additionally famous that it plans to construct a Avenue Fighter II: Pocky Version cupboard to take to commerce occasions. A daunting prospect. The very last thing yer boy Moyse wants is an excuse to eat much more chocolate while gaming.
