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!
Since the excellent Baldur’s Gate 3 has been out in the wild for a while, interesting data can be gleaned, such as how players choose to play an innovative new RPG from home. Stats from developer Larian Studios and posted on the PlayStation Blog show that most people want to play as a stealthy archer like in Skyrim when given nearly limitless options.
According to a fascinating graph, Rogue/Ranger is the most popular multiclass build, with over 175,000 players using it to snipe unsuspecting enemies from range. The next two builds reveal similarly. 150,000 played Barbarian/Fighter because they loved pummeling things, and 109,00 played Barbarian/Paladin, which lets players talk to their victims before beatings.
More sense emerges as you descend. If the Paladin/Warlock/Sorcerer/Bard has high Charisma, any combination can be interesting. Charisma helps these classes cast spells and abilities and interact with NPCs outside of combat.
Playing a single class through Baldur’s Gate 3 feels great, which is what most players do. A pure Fighter or Wizard becomes so powerful by game’s end that we don’t blame you for not mixing things up!
Play as a Tiefling Oathbreaker Paladin, Dark Urge Origin (which you must resist), or Bard for real moral dilemmas. You could also play pseudo-Aragorn again.
Techland is continuing to release Dying Light 2 content as part of its long-term support. This is surprising since the meaty Good Night, Good Luck update was released a few months ago. It’s nice to know what’s coming, but no timeline was given.
IGN-exclusive roadmap trailers reveal more co-op missions, board quests, a tower raid, and replayable GRE anomalies. Executions and finishers may be added to the April Gut Feeling update, which overhauled melee mechanics. Graphical options, weapon repair, gear, and mod dismantling are always welcome.
Knives, polearms, and more enemy variants are coming, including a Nightmare difficulty. Changes to NG+ include firearms. Players can finally dress to their hearts’ content with new cosmetic options.
Has Techland’s Dying Light 2 support lured you back? Would you rather focus on something new?
Epic Games expanded the Fortnite V-Buck “pricing alignment” after laying off almost 900 employees, citing “inflation and currency fluctuations”. Fortnite’s premium currency will rise in international markets, including the largest.
Epic Games will raise the price of V-Bucks and real money content packs in the Czech Republic, Denmark, Eurozone countries, Hungary, Japan, Norway, Poland, Romania, Sweden, Turkey, and the US (including all US Dollar storefronts) on October 27.
Raising the price of this fictitious currency was successful when the company trialed it in the UK, Canada, and Mexico, so it was decided to announce it worldwide now. These USD increases range from $1 (1000 V-Bucks, previous $7.99) to $10 (13,500 V-Bucks, previous $79.99).
How do you view Epic’s timing and pricing increase?
