Fanime: Day 1

May 24th, 2009

…actually day 2, but I arrived late so day 1 for me.

Wow! What a day! …Since I was late a day, all my panels from got moved into today and so yeah…it was pretty busy! Did a DMC panel and autograph session but the highlight of the day was the Street Fighter charity auction event where folks bid to play a few rounds with me as Ken Masters. For the most part i got my ass kicked but I did have my moments and either way it was all for-the-cause! …hmmm, where have I heard that before? (www.for-the-cause.com) sorry had to do it! but no seriously something like $600 was raised for the Breast Cancer Foundation. Yeah! Now that’s what I’m talkin’ about!

I was pleasantly surprised when fellow voice actor Keith Burgess who voices Akuma in SF: Alpha came into challenge me! He played as Akuma and of course you know who I was. I was able to hold up winning 2 out of 3 against him but the other NoCal guys…well let’s just say that I need a little more practice! Just wait ’till next year guys! …Bring it on!

The event went down at Stage Zero, as I was leaving I heard the B-Fighter Kabuto theme song…Nice touch guys!

    Hey Reuben! I know you see thousands of fans, but I was dressed as the DMC4 Dante at your DMC3 panel from fanime last year. I really miss yah and wish I could have attended fanime this year. But it looks like you’ve been having a lot of fun at the con and I’m glad to hear that. Hopefully I’ll get to see you again at another con.

    Sincerely,

    One of your fans :D And remember, in the end we’re all satisfied XD

    It was definitely a pleasure meeting you bro! I’m going to be in SoCal in a few weeks, so I’ll give you a ring sometime in the next week or two. Take it easy man!

    Hey Reuben!

    I was the guy who used the Abel during the fight with you, and also the guy who gave you the Media Kitchen T-Shirt. It was good stuff to play with you man, keep working that Shoryuken!!

    Thanks for everything dude, you were really cool to be around. I really appreciate the voicemail and the time you spent to help make everything work out. I love your parts as Chris in RE5, and Dante in DMC4 as well, keep up the good work! Take care dude! ^^

    I watched your play in a site.
    You…You lost.
    It’s AI and play?
    Was it difficult?
    You who lost were cute.

    However, the evasion is important, too^^

    @anon
    haha,Sorry~!
    I’m mistake.
    I read an article of reuben absorbedly. Therefore I made a mistake.
    Yeah I know,I know….Ryu Takegami or Hoshi?
    However, neither is formula setting of the games.right?
