Gamer Showdown at Dawn

Itaru and Banri: Gamer Showdown at Dawn

	Mankai Dormitory
	I’m home.
	Holy Crap!
	When did we get that?
	We just dug up some legit treasure!
	What’s going on? You guys are friggin’ loud.
	Ah, Banny!
	Setzer! Perfect timing, my man!
	Why?
	Check this out!
	Wait, is that...?
	Yes! The game console that took the world by storm decades ago...the Super MES!
	Wait, for real?!
	For real, man!
	We found it in the storage room when we were helping Matsukawa!
	Damn, I’ve never seen one in person before.
	Me neither!!
	Super cool, right?!
	Let’s all have a game showdown!
	Dude, I’m so down for this!
	Heh. I’m gonna destroy every last one of you.
	Ahh, Banny’s got the eyes of a killer!
	In the Lounge
	So how do you hook it up?
	Dunno, just plug it in somewhere.
	Hang on a sec!
	These retro things are fragile so we gotta be careful.
	Kazu, do you know how to do it?
	Probably?
	Leave all the gadgets to me!
	Okay, so this goes here...
	And then that goes there...
	Ah, it’s hooked up.
	You’re awesome, Kazu!
	Man, I can’t even tell what kind of game this is from looking at the picture.
	Doesn’t look like there’s a manual for this thing...
	How do you even play it?
	Let’s just try it out!
	Yeah, might as well hit the ground running and figure the way out that way.
	Aand, start!
	Wait, I still have no idea how to do this!
	Ah, so it’s a one on one fighting game, huh.
	Huh?! What?!
	What do I do?!
	Ah, so the A button does this...which means down plus B's gotta be...this.
	Watch out, Taicchan!
	H-hang on, have mercy, Banny!!
	Nope.
	GYAAAAH!!
	You killed him in seconds, Setzer! That was insane!
	I died before I even knew what I was doing...
	What even happened there?!
	Dunno!
	Kazunari. You’re next.
	Setzer, you’re eyes are seriously creeping me out, man!
	Kazu, I’ll tell your family that you loved them!
	Why are you assuming I’m already dead?!
	Whoa! This is super hard...!
	It’s totally different from games nowadays!
	Ahh, no, not there!!
	This controlller’s seen better days. The buttons are so sensitive.
	He sounds like a pro!!
	Crap, I lose!!
	Heh, piece of cake.
	Ahh, Setzer killed me again!
	Same! He’s ruthless!
	You guys are sittin’ ducks. It only takes seconds to end you.
	Take it easy on us Banny!!
	All right, fine. I’ll give you a handicap. I won’t counterattack for ten seconds.
	Whoa, we might have a chance then!
	Good luck then, Taicchan!
	I’m doing this for you, Kazu!
	Just get goin’ already.
	I’ve got ten seconds to whoop your butt...!
	You're so cool, Taicchan!!
	10, 9, 8, 7...
	Oof!!
	Rrrgh!
	Take that!!
	Taicchan! You got this! He’s taking so many hits!
	Yeah, ‘cuz I’m not doing anything.
	Take this!!
	3, 2, 1, 0...
	Ah, my ten seconds are up!
	All I gotta do is finish him off, no prob-
	↑↓←→roundhouse↑↑punch→←punch↓↓kick←↑→punch↓↓kick...
	What IS that, some kind of killing curse?!
	Huh! I can’t move my character but my HP gauge is dropping!!
	Is it hacked?! This is a nightmare!
	←↓→roundhouse,↑↑punch,←←scissor kick, ↓↓kick, ←↑→punch, ↓↓kick...
	Taicchan!
	GYAAAH!
	Ain’t even a body left to take home.
	Argh...
	TAICCHAAAAAN!!
	You guys are too weak. This ain’t even fun. I need someone who can actualy put up a fight.
	Itaru’s probably the only one who can take you on, Setzer
	I’m home.
	Speak of the devil!
	Welcome back, Itaroon!
	Save us, Itaru!!
	Save you from what?
	Wait...is that an SMES?
	It was in the storage room!
	Sweet piece of history, right?
	Whoa, you kidding? Hell yeah. Can’t believe we’ve had this treasure hiding in the dorms the entire time.
	Perfect timing, Itaru. Play against me.
	You’re on.
	Whoa! The two gamers are facing off!!
	...This controllers a piece of crap.
	The buttons are barely responding to my commands.
	Another pro!
	I forgot how it feels to play this thing.
	Itaru, it sounds like you’re typing when you're hitting the buttons.
	This is tough
	I knew you could do it, Itaru! He’s pushing Setzer back!
	...Should get myself a gamepad.
	Damn, man! You’re really comin’ after my ass,Itaru.
	His fingers are moving so fast I can’t even see them.
	You two are amazing! It’s like watching e-sports!
	Hurry up and die, Itaru.
	You first.
	You guys are both insane!
	LATER
	It’s still going on?
	They’ve been in a fight to the death for a half-hour now. They must be tired.
	My fingers hurt just looking at them.
	It’s time for dinner you guys.
	Not now.
	Later.
	I feel like I’m a mom talking to her kids...!
	Dad’s gonna get mad at you!
	Who the hell is Dad?
	Sakyo.
	Yeah, no thanks.
	Looks like you’re on your last legs.
	Oh yeah? Well, then eat thi-
	Aw, shit!
	Setzer lost his rhythm! Itaroon spots his weakness and moves in for the kill.
	Banny’s gauge is shrinking.
	Agh, shit, shit!
	...Nice knowing you.
	Ugh...!
	Is this the finishing blow?!
	?!
	What?!
	The screen went black!
	Hey! Who the hell unplugged it?!
CAT	Meow
	Hey, you can’t be in here. C’mere.
	A cat...
	Can’t believe a cat reset the game!
	You’re friggin’ kidding me...
	Guess it happens. Let’s call it a tie, then.
	You look way too damn happy about this.
	I’m not. I’m super disappointed we didn’t finish the battle. Crying, really.
	Liar.
	Let’s continue this after then.
	I’m starving!
	Gimme one more round.
	Geh.
	Enough Already!
	Once they get going it never stops!
