Not related to shmuplations but I still think it belongs here. It's a short V-Jump interview explaining how Tetsuo Hara, the artist for FOTNS, got involved with the Muscle Bomber/Slam Masters series.

Virtua Fighter eSports/Ultimate Showdown producer Seiji Aoki & Tekken series producer Katsuhiro Harada discuss the resurrection & future of Virtua Fighter. 4Gamer interview.
https://twitter.com/gosokkyu/status/1412580161543757831 https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/14125...57831.html The reason why I'm posting this here is because at the end you can read the following: @gosokkyu Wrote:[plug] @shmuplations In this case "plug" is used as a way to say you're self-promoting your social media and/or merchandise. So yeah, I think this is supposed to be shmuplations. EDIT: then again, @gosokkyu could be using the slan term "plug" incorrectly and they (@gosokkyu and shmuplations) are two different people. Who knows?

I've heard about it. Blackoak said that he'll translate those that isn't in his list, if someone vote and provide him a link to a Japanese interview. I would like to, but the ones' I'm interested to vote for are FFX, Summer of Street Fighter II, Breath of Fire III, Yuji Naka X Kan Naitou X Yu Suzuki & ICO. Other voters chose Yuji Naka X Kan Naitou X Yu Suzuki & ICO to translate, but I'm more interested in FFX. However, I got a feeling it won't get picked. But I won't stop till FFX gets picked. It is FFX 20th anniversary, plus FFIV 30th anniversary (I need to vote for it at some point).
