SIGNS THAT YOU’VE BEEN PLAYING TOO MANY SNK GAMES


1. You name your boyfriend Andy and insist that the two of you are engaged.

2. You spend days, weeks, even months trying to perfect the Haohmaru hairdo.

3. And you actually succeed at it.

4. You find yourself... hmmmhahaha... talking like various... SHAAAAH!... SNK characters... ORA
ORA!... from time to time. SHIIINGO KIIIICK!

5. You won’t listen to Mozart’s music because his first name is Wolfgang and it creeps you out.

6. You keep daydreaming of how great it'd be to hear Kim Kaphwan singing karaoke.

7. Out of desperate admiration for Haohmaru or Chin Gentsai, you become a compulsive sake drinker.

8. The only women you’re continually exposed to are the likes of Mai, Shermie, Mature and Vice. As
a result, you keep wondering why real-life women have such small breasts.

9. You dress your little sibling's Barbie dolls in Neo-Geo characters' costumes. ("Hi, Mai! Wanna hop
in my new Corvette?" "Sure, Andy!")

10. You become an avid fan of judo matches just because you hope to see Goro Daimon one day.

11. You've legally changed your last name to Bogard, Shiranui, Tachibana, Kusanagi or Yagami.

12. You own one or more of the following:

A huge metal ball with a chain.

A glove with a claw on it.

A long, three-sectioned staff.

13. You go around hitting people with your basketball like Lucky Glauber.

14. You'd really, REALLY like to see Kyo and Iori vent out their frustrations on the Jerry Springer
show.

15. When Geese Howard got thrown off the building... you cried.

16. You form a one-member Chin Gentsai fan club, hold a sake-drinking competition with yourself
and suffer a car accident later from drunk driving.

17. You are immediately appalled when you watch Nightmare on Elm Street for the first time. You
then shock the world with a sizzling news article which states that Freddy Krueger is a cheap ripoff of
Choi Bounge.

18. You think Choi Bounge is cute.

19. You can mimic the sounds of all the KOF special moves perfectly, and are notorious for bursting
out into noisy renditions of the Hisshokyaku or Yaotome on the most inappropriate occasions. (Such
as a funeral...)

20. You’re in court on assault charges, because while walking down the street, you felt
the urge to perform the Yaotome on the nearest person.

21. You think Kim Kaphwan, Chang Koehan and Choi Bounge would make a great comedy trio... the
new Three Stooges.

22. Upon becoming a dad, rather than spend money on books about parenting and how to raise kids,
you choose to simply follow the example of the three greatest fathers of all time: Kim Kaphwan,
Saishu Kusanagi and Takuma Sakazaki.

23. You enroll in a Kopoken dojo (yes, Kopoken is a real art) and are disappointed because they won't
teach any of Andy's SDM's. Same goes for Muay Thai and Joe Higashi.

24. You form a religious cult which sweeps across the nation, winning over souls from far and wide...
spreading the glorious sacred gospel of Amakusa Shiro Tokisada.

25. You actually liked the Samurai Shodown anime.

26. You write a script for King of Fighters: The Movie, with Hollywood celebrities playing the KOF
characters. (for example-- Jim Carrey as Choi Bounge, Arnold Schwarzenegger as Chang Koehan,
Freddy Prinze Jr. as Kyo Kusanagi and Jack Nicholson as Rugal Bernstein.)

27. Whenever you want to taunt somebody, you moon them and yell, “ORA ORA!”.

28. You go around looking for a martial arts school that teaches Magatama.

29. You dress like Mai.

In public.

30. You wonder why all real-life guys aren’t as hot as Iori Yagami.

31. You want to join the Yakuza when you grow up, so you can be just like your hero: Ryuji Yamazaki.

32. You and your friend have memorized the KOF 98 Ralf vs. Clark pre-fight animation, and practice it every day.

33. Said pre-fight animation is your way of attracting girls' attention. You're puzzled over why you can't get any dates.
