I was looking forward to Akira's story mode, pondering where Capcom could potentially go with it. Akira's backstory is kind of dark, what with her brother being brainwashed twice and her having to rescue him on both accounts with her friends.

I had no idea what I was going to write for my 100th article, but I knew I needed something big to commemorate the moment. What theory could I possibly write that was worthy of being the 100th?

Where the Summer Breeze Blows: A Few Thoughts on Ibuki
Based on the research I've done, Ibuki's story seems to be going a number of different ways.

The Biggest Threat in Tekken
People have been asking me if I would ever branch into other games. My theories have been solidly Street Fighter for a long time. Admittedly, I was not expecting to write a Tekken theory.
