The Dynasty Warriors Origins speedrun is something I've worked on so much over the past year and a bit, and I'm excited to show it off.

@evilaleksle youre kinda nice at the game, good shit dude!

[Matt Hunter (GLP) @GLPhoenix_]

First Strive online weekly for 2.0 getting 61 players, feels good to see a good mix of old and new faces and how reinvigorated the scene feels.

I went 2-2 and got to show that this washed up commentator can still press some buttons, and by that I mean flash kick like an idiot.😇

AWT 2025-2026 Reflection (1/?)

I notice that this post is getting a spot of attention lol. I apologise for the obnoxious, self-indulgent talk around this time. It came from a place of frustration that I did not have opportunities to improve or prove myself due to something out of my control (being born in Australia).

For those who don't know why it's so difficult to compete from here, I'll go over it one last time. We are completely isolated. We have a very small amount of players and no, we cannot connect to Japan online. Every time that you see me on ranked, that is me dedicating time to practise while I am staying overseas for tournaments. During these periods, I cram as much practise and matchup knowledge into my head as I can. This practise period for AWTF was my longest, lasting for 2 weeks. Is it realistic to master every matchup during this time? Of course not. I just manage my time as best as I can.

"Why not just practise with other Australian players?". In recent years, we have only had about 6 undeniably world class players in my opinion. And none of these players used META characters like HC. Also, most of these players either do not play anymore or only hop on for fun. Nobody is grinding the game like I have been. This matchup inconsistency is the reason my gameplay may look clean during one minute, then look as if I started playing the game yesterday the next.

To be 100% clear, I am not insulting anyone. Nobody is at fault, and im not saying that our players don't have talent. It is all purely a product of being an isolated scene.

So, this was the source of my frustration. I had a keen insight into I-No, knew it had potential and that I could improve a lot. I had something to prove.

Of course, Daru and Kshue are still better I-No's than me. I don't think otherwise and outshining them wasn't my goal. My goal was to prove that I am an I-No player to be reckoned with and that the statement "all I-No players suck except Daru" is not true. The bragging that you saw me do in the past was me saying "Hey, I'm here! Give me a chance!". With this AWT, I think that I have finally proved what I wanted to prove.
