I got a little treat for all you guys and gals today in the form of some arcade action! The extravaganza all started over some yummy dim sum at Jade Garden with the Hypebeast crew, Sam Lee, and JJ Lin. After our tummies were filled with delicious delights, words got exchanged over the existence of dinosaurs and the brownie bits literally hit the fan. Obviously, the only way to settle the debate is a battle to the death in the form of Street Fighter. Sadly, Street Fighter IV was out of commission so we had to make due with its older sibling, Mister Street Fighter IIIBefore we begin, let me introduce the contestants in today's battle. Presenting, Kevin Ma, founder of one of the biggest street fashion online magazines in the world, Hypebeast! Followed by JJ Lin, one of the most renowned pop singers in all of Asia and self proclaimed Master of all that is Ryu! And last but not least, here is Sam Lee, big time HK movie actor, world famous DJ, and one of the guys that brought Subcrew to the massesOn the other end, here is Jason Chow and Eugene Kan of Hypebeast fame. The real deal Holyfields and purveyors of all that is awesome! Rounding it out is yours truly. If you guys didn't know, I'm also part of the Hypebeast crew as their Creative Consultant. So, now you know and knowing is half the battle! G.I. JOEEEE! The real American Hero!
