Guile from Street Fighter is now a Hair Product Mascot
Yeah yeah, this is going to become old really fast. But what can I say? Seeing video game chracters in commercials that are pretty good is kind of interesting. Video games have started to integrate to diverse aspects of various cultures. This is a very cute thing when it happens in my opinion. Because that means other companies are made aware that games are popular and. Of course, they can be profitable and coexist. And Guile from Street Fighter V joins in on the fun!
Guile and his Gravity Defying hair use a very strong Japanese Gel.
Which leads to Japanese company Yanagiya, which has been linked to the cosmetic industry since 1615. Recently, they have taken the decision of having a flag character that fits their line. And what better pick than the Street Fighter American personification of hair gel Guile? Yes, the US badass that has impacted everyone’s hearts with his Sonic Boom now promotes J-gel.
In fact, his presence as a Yanagiya mascot is so prominent that the official site has a humorous interview with Guile in which he says nuggets like this: “Disheveled hair is connected to losing one’s composure. It’s not cool.”
I’m kind of bummed that there isn’t a direct Japanese translation of the interview. I’m leaving the link here for those interested who know Japanese. But even still, it’s kinda nice and hilarious to see a character like Guile being a flagship for a Gel product.
I mean. The dude is very strong, and would make a nice model for the product himself without really trying. He also is the definition of Hair products galore, with his hair that defies gravity when he does his attacks. Would anyone be surprised if Guile said that he used a very strong variation of J-Gel for himself? That’s what I thought.
The gaming industry sure has some odd ways of entertaining people. Seeing Lightning and Snow promoting a Nissan car was a surreal experience, but not a very odd one. However, I want to start seeing American commercials having video game characters in them. Don’t disappoint me, Corporate America!
Disney Speedstorm, Gameloft’s free-to-play kart racer, will enter its latest season with a wintery backdrop of Arendelle. Let It Go will add Anna, Elsa, Olaf, Kristoff, and Hans as racers. As always, they’ll have unique moves and abilities.
Oaken and other musical movie crew members will be unlocked, along with a new Golden Pass. After fan feedback, the developer is rebalancing this aspect of the release so you can progress faster and unlock more rewards.
The developer also announced on Twitter that it’s lowering in-game shop prices starting today, and if you’ve paid for microtransactions, you’ll get a big payout. The French studio appears to be betting on this season’s success.
Adding non-Frozen characters Oswald, Ortensia, and WALL-E could also help. A comprehensive game update should bring back lapsed players and attract new ones. Will you challenge the kart racer?
Bungie has pulled a contentious $15 starter pack from Season of the Wish, which launched yesterday. The pack had a poor selection and was marketed to new players, which the community strongly opposed.
The starter pack proudly stated that players could “experience the power of build-defining Exotic weapons by instantly unlocking three of Destiny 2’s finest: Traveler’s Chosen, Ruinous Effigy, and Sleeper Simulant.” An exotic ship, a sparrow, a ghost shell, 125,000 glimmer, 50 enhancement cores, five enhancement prisms, and one ascendant shard are also included.
This offering may seem harmless to a new player, but Forbes’ Paul Tassi says, “You sort of have to be a Destiny 2 player to understand what an outrageously bad deal this is.” The Forsaken Pack, another Bungie release, includes two dozen Exotics, a dungeon, and a raid. It cost $20 and is now $5. It looks bad, from what we can tell.
Guardians retaliated with negative Steam reviews. They orchestrated the DLC page to include “Capitalism,” “Crime,” and “Psychological Horror” user tags, which is funny.
After Bungie pulled the pack, Redditor Grizz3d summarized the community response: “I don’t get how that starter pack was approved. What part of stealing from new players wasn’t going to result in community outrage? Bungie’s disconnect with players is shocking. I’m glad you got rid of the pack, but it’s disappointing that Bungie thought it was a good idea.”
This follows the Witcher 3 crossover armour sets, which look great but are expensive. Sony’s independent live service outpost is in danger due to a delayed expansion and studio layoffs.
Sony announced last year that it would plant trees for Horizon Forbidden West PlayStation fans who unlocked a simple trophy in the open-world game. This, in partnership with several charities, sought to protect the global environment and biodiversity.
Over a year later, it released a trailer showing its progress. The company has planted 600,000 trees worldwide, restoring 1,800 acres. More importantly, the gaming industry has planted 2.5 million trees worldwide.
Gaming is fun, but we must protect our world. Sony has taken steps to be more environmentally friendly, such as adding energy-saving features to the PS5 and shipping all its products in fully recyclable packaging.
