The KomonoMichi series (not to be confused with Kemonomichi by Daigo Umehera) is an exhibition series in Super Street Fighter II Turbo. The matches are played at Game Spot Versus, in the heart of Nishinippori, Tokyo.

On August 21st, Riz0ne broadcasts a mirror stream providing English commentary along with Ultracombo. This time around, a relatively new school player Kaneko who has been on the grind to be one of the strongest Guile players faces veteran Boxer player NouNouB (previously known as MB*). The format is not your typical FT10 with a win by 2 games format, but rather the player must win two sets of FT4. This gives a little bit of breathing room between sets for the players to process what just occurred, as they swap player sides.

Located in Shiogamaguchi, Space Shattlu (otherwise known as Space Shuttle) has been the heart of the retro fighting game community in Nagoya, Japan. Strong players have risen across a variety of games, including Super Street Fighter II Turbo.

On May 15, 2022, MAO organizes a charity event featuring 20 of the strongest players in Japan. This starts with two East / West battles, followed up by FT5 exhibitions. The community is brought together with mirror streams from French ambassador Bazoukha representing the European 2X scene and Riz0ne providing in English for North America.

During Golden Week in May of 2022, the Japanese Super Street Fighter II Turbo community introduce a new tournament called X_rare.

Some of the basic rules as follows:

-2 vs 2 team battle.

-Team consists of same character (New and Old characters are treated as different characters).

-Waseda style (A vs. A, B vs. B, Winners fight if it gets to Game 3).

-Double elimination.

On the night of May 4th moving into May 5th (for the lore), Riz0ne does a mirror stream of X_rare with a focus on A Block. Both blocks are played simultaneously before the Top 8 teams move to Game Newton for the finals. Ultracombo picks up a mic, and the two players do commentary while telling their own lore in between matches.

Kemonomichi is a battle venue for players continually seeking only strength.

"I can't stand to lose. Not to them."

The only thing on the line in these battles is pride.

Yes, just like back then . . .

Part of the newer generation of Super Street Fighter II Turbo players, Kotaka Shoten has already graced the Kemonimichi stage 3 times with decisive victories over grandmasters Aniken, Itoh, and Kurahashi. Daigo searches for a player who can finally defeat the strongest Guile player on the planet and seeks out YuuVega, a first generation ST player known for his relentless Dictator play, and sheer mental strength.

On Dec 30 2021, the two masters battled it out in a series of FT4 sets. The first player to secure 3 total sets wins Kemonomichi!

In ST, Guile vs. Dictator is considered a fair match with most of the community giving a super slight edge to Guile. Riz0ne and Makiri commentate this masterpiece of a set, with Makiri sharing insights on the Japanese ST community while Riz0ne analyzes his favorite match up in the game.

Riz0ne brings back the first guest of Super Lore Boys, Marcus D, for a listening party of Ryujin No Yume, the artist's latest vinyl drop. While our ears are in complete bliss, we have some eye candy on the stream featuring a FT10 Super Street Fighter II Turbo exhibition between Makiri (Marcus D) and Shogatsu!

After the first exhibition, we hang out a bit more to watch another FT10 between Suzuki (Zangief) vs. Kawamata (Ryu).

On October 23rd, 2021, Matsuda presented a special FT10 exhibition at Game Newton, pitting together grandmasters of Super Street Fighter II Turbo.

Riz0ne restreamed the event in English (with permission, of course), with commentary provided by Makiri. We discuss the match ups, strategies, and lore, while Makiri also shares Japanese Street Fighter terminology, and Riz0ne makes accurate predictions about the upcoming set plays.
