There isn't nearly enough Segata Sanshiro in there.


I mean, you've got your mainstays like Ken, Ryu, Chun Li, and... Dan... but I see a distinct shortage of Segata Sanshiro.

Now before you exclain, "Pepsiman, Segata Sanshiro wasn't a video game character! He didn't even have anything to do with Capcom," do note that even I, the almighty overlord of insanity even know that Segata Sanshiro doesn't necessarily fit in with the Street Fighter crew right from the get-go.

But that doesn't matter. Aside from doing some Rambo work, Segata Sanshiro has sadly lost his prominence. Let us mourn this lost opportunity for him to have his glory revitalized in Street Fighter IV by viewing his epic resume of work once more.

At first I thought "Pepsiman, you're crazy! Why would Segata Sanshiro be in this game?"
And then I saw the video, and now I'm totally sold on the idea.

Yeah, it was my understanding that people were more or less aware of that fact by now. The thing to be really haunted about is the fact that Sonic R is suggested to be a good Christmas gift in that very same commercial.

I wasn't even sure if Segata Sanshiro was a person. But after seeing the video, yes, anything would be better if they had Segata Sanshiro.

You know, I got a Saturn for Christmas when I was a kid. Maybe it was him all the time.

Haha. Santa's true identity!

I love you Pepsiman. And you, Segata Sanshiro.

I think that more or less summarizes the man's identity in its entirety, yes. Segata Sanshiro's life story is a very profound one, what with being Santa Claus and all, yet it's amazing that so much of the essence of his story can be encapsulated in the mere phrase that he is "the Chunk Norris that never was."

As a completely unrelated side note, I'm glad that my newfound purpose in life has been to apparently spread the joy of Segata Sanshiro to one and all. It gives my own existence a new meaning knowing that.
