Botchamania reference in King of Fighters XIII

Post to Twitter

HOLY SHIT. The sinister laugh used for Japanese Table is Iori’s (the character in question). This combined with the fact that the line was changed from the Arcade release makes me think I’m not seeing things.

Edit: I received an e-mail from the nice people at Atlus USA who had this to say:

Hi Maffew,

No, that was not a direct reference to Botchamania. In fact, before you contacted us, none of the editors even knew such a website existed. If you play Iori enough, you’ll notice that he tells his opponents to shut up or stop talking very frequently, and there are only so many ways to phrase this. I hope that this information clarifies matters for you. Thank you for picking up KOF XIII and have a great day!

Bah! We put two and two together and got five. Oh well, never let it be said that I don’t admit my mistakes and/or faults. I could have easily typed ”Atlus told me they were big BM fans”, but that’s not me.

(Thanks to TheNotoriousMC2 and El Asian for the heads up anyway)

    Wishful thinking Maffew, wishful thinking.

    OR IS IT? AH HA! HA HA HA! HA HA HA HA HA HA!

    And so forth.

    Are you a fan of Liverpool FC? Because your delusion is off the charts

  3. Mike says:

    should switch out the hbk/undie clip for this sometimes, quality!

    • Christopher says:

      I agree. As much as I like the Undertaker clip, this trumps it. Especially if maffew replaces Iori’s face for Cena’s Herman Munster face. It seems very fitting considering John Boy TALKS TOO MUCH pretty much every match.

    Holy Crap, that is awesome

  5. Mel. says:

    I’ll believe it, just because I want to. And everybody else’s version of reality is bullshit, anyways.

    Keep on, Maffew.

    Why the close up of his bondage pantsed butt?

    GEESE HOWARD! WE COMIN’ FOR YOU, NIGGA!!!

  7. Strike3Count says:

    I’ll believe it too, because Atlus/SNK did a much better job with 13 than the last one.

  8. viewtifulzfo says:

    Seriously, ask Atlus about it – I’d imagine it is real.

  9. Nolo King says:

    They are too busy working on the video game to care about your videos, lawls!

  10. Clay says:

    I hate to jump on the bandwagon with a random question… but why is the Undi/HBK clip used at all? What’s the context behind it?

  11. I love when the quote leaves, you get Iori’s loveable sweet ass.

    I wish we could get a decent fighting game that doesn’t have a flash of magnesium everytime you hit someone.

  13. Darazz says:

    Been waiting for Botchamania 200…

  14. AnonymousAsshole says:

    Yeah, because the words “everyone talks too much” isn’t a common phrase or collection or words or anything.

    Get off your fucking ego trip, plz.

    These guys are nice, lol. “Nobody’s ever heard of you, shut up, thanks for shelling out money for our crap game. Have a nice day.” Jeeezuz!
