Dual Duel

God Hand

Irma *awestruck*: Do you know who that is across the street? It's the guy who worked on God Hand, Mikami. Don't look! He might see us.

April *primping*: Typical, Irma. What kind of world do you live in where you refuse to admit you like something that someone actually knows, like Resident Evil? You’re just not a compatible blood type with him.

Irma: Hey, that's a lie! I like Super Mario Bros. Everyone knows that game.

April *rolling eyes*: Yeah, everyone knows it because it's 25 years old. No one likes an old maid, Irma.

Super Mario Bros.



Irma: I like newer stuff too!

April: Oh yeah? You said you hated Sonic 4, and you didn't even play it. You took one look at the title screen and turned it off! Talk about judging a book by its cover.

Irma: The music exemplified everything that was wrong with the game. I could hear that the suits were trying to replicate success without understanding that success: "Put a snare at the beginning, add in a syncopated synth, and get right into the melody. It will sell." I didn't need to play it to find out the whole game was made like that.

April: Whatever. Saying something like that about Mikami is like saying, "Oh, there's the guy from Mad Season, Mike McCready." Who does that?

Mikami: Hi.

April and Irma *together*: Hold on!



Mega Man 9

Irma: You're one to talk! All this hot air coming from a person who won't touch a game unless it has a high score from Metacritic or Famitsu; who’s typical? Besides, you didn’t like Sonic 4 either. When are you going to wake up?



April: Wake up? When are you going catch up?

Irma: That's it! Only a duel can settle this. Name the weapons.  Red Dead at dawn?  Bubble Bobble at dusk?

April: Mega Man 9. One life. Any order. Whoever can kill more robot masters. Deal?

Irma: Deal.

April: Hey, where did Mikami go? I wanted to ask for his autograph.
