had SNK been in a much higher position, there's a chance that Psycho Soldier would've got an anime, depending on how it is, we may actually consider all of the 'Moon Clones'(you know what I mean by that) as 'Psycho Clones' with Moon being one of the 'Psycho Clones'

This song was playing in the background when Sakurai informed the audience that Mai will not feature as a guest cameo in Smash Ultimate. Edit: the real reason why Mai isn't in Smash is because of CERO implying that she's "too lewd". Not even her *Real Bout Fatal Fury* outfit would save her, the character designers even have to tone down *Palutena* and *Bayonetta* just so they can be included in the 5th installment. So yes we, Sora Ltd., and Bandai Namco are all pissed.

I feel like I'm actually in the 80's. This song sure feels nostalgic even when you haven't heard it before as a kid.

The tape is not necessarily shifting on the playback heads, rather it sounds more like one side of the cassette came close to a magnetic field so when it passes over that spot where the change in sound is heard. To me it sounds like someone is moving the treble slider on an EQ up and down. Fortunately, there are other videos on KZread that don't have this problem. For some reason everyone decided to watch this particular one. Playing back the cassette on a quality deck such as a Nakamichi also helps compared to a Sony Walkman.
