Here’s a tale of a flex gone horribly wrong. At this weekend’s VSFighting tournament in England, Joshua “Rycroft” Podesta had Yota “Pekos” Kachi on the ropes in Samurai Shodown. After absorbing a super, Pekos was left with just a sliver of health. The fat lady was seconds away from singing.
But, then, a miraculous combination of ill-advised arrogance and opportunistic punishment! Rycroft dropped his sword to finish off Pekos with an unarmed attack. (Samurai Shodown has a mechanic where you can knock the weapon out of another player’s hand, but weapons can also be voluntarily dropped.) Things didn’t go to plan.
Just watch:
