"Yeah, but even so," he replied, making a dismissive gesture. "It's not going to kill your record, and everybody'll know it was a cheap win. -Both- of your losses this week have been cheap. Eiji Honda ripped Ken a new one on the board last night."

Who is Eiji? Is this some kind of title for E. Honda the sumo wrestler? I've always thought his first name was Edmund or something....

Capcom isn't really known for its consistent command of fine detail, so I make a lot of stuff up arbitrarily. It's no worse than the official material in that respect. :)

Semi off-topic aside: A while back, while looking about at cars on the web, I surfed the Honda site and about giggled myself out of my chair at the fact that a section of it went under the heading 'eHonda'.

They seem to have ditched it in the last revamp of their site, though. I doubt that Capcom product recognition had anything to do with its demise, but it certainly would make it that much more amusing.

No arguement there. I've been playing the bloody games ever since the second one came out and I still haven't figured out anything resembling a continuous storyline.

<Shrugs> Oh well, at least they're fun to play.

IIRC, Capcom of America once released something or other that referred to E. Honda as Edmund Honda, and I was always rather amused by that name, but Eiji definitely makes more sense, if you're being remotely serious. And I'm pretty sure it was just the once, anyway.
