Samus and Sagat: Prepping for Street Fighter V and Super Metroid II

Exciting adventure, fashion, and fame

[Update: We’ve gotten a lot of great entries in the gif contest! It seemed a shame to leave them out in the cold, so I’ve embedded the animations that never made it to the comments into the post below. I also forgot to tell you when the contest would be over. We’ll stop taking entries whenever the next episode ofSamus and Sagatcomes out, which with any luck will be just in time for Valentine’s Day. And yes, we have something special planned for that weekend. Just you wait.]

A lot of you told me that you really likedSamus and Sagatepisode one. Thank you so much! Even more of you told me that you almost didn’t watch the show at all because you thought it was a cartoon. Sorry about that!

To be 100% clear,Samus and Sagatis a live-action fake sitcom aboutMetroid‘s Samus Aran (Maddy Myers) andStreet Fighter‘s Sagat (me) living as roommates. That said, we try to incorporate animation into things when we can.

Luckily, we had a really good excuse to use some fake videogame graphics in this episode. This one is about the differences between being a videogame starlet and an older, well known but not particularly popular side character from an ensemble cast. Imagine a conversation between Chun-Li and Waluigi about where their careers are going. It’s like that.

Crap, now I wish I had made that show instead. Maybe next time.

Also, how about a contest?

Make a gif from either this episode or episode one ofSamus and Sagat. It’s easy and fun withthis free website, but you’re able to go beyond what the site offers if you want to, with captions and explosions and other added dressings as you see fit. From there, upload your gif and tweet it to@tronknottsalong with a link to either this Dtoid post or to this episode of the show on YouTube and you’ll be entered to win a copy of a new retail videogame of your choice.

Sadly, it has to be a game that I can buy for you from a store in the U.S.A. because I am just going to go to the store and buy you a game. Nothing fancy about that! Just me going to the store, like any other guy. Also, no requests for special editions or hard-to-find games, please. Anything in the $40-$70 range is OK. I hope you enter the contest, and thanks again for watching the show!
