A few weeks after the destruction of the Ladies' Good Men, and a week after the final fight with the Kijin, Dido tightens her grip on the controls, eyes narrowed, teeth bared.
"I can't give up now!" She declares. "I won't despair! If I stand by justice, and keep moving forward, a way will open up! I know it will–Aw Fudge! Fudge! C'mon! Fudge! That combo's broken! This boss is OP! Cheap! Hax!"
On the arcade game's screen, Dido's Qipao-wearing character twitches helplessly in the throes of hit-stun, then flies back across the stage. "K.O.!". The boss character, clad in a sharp business suit and fish-crested gladiator helmet, folds his arms and laughs."Pathetic! You're ten years too early to beat me!".
Dido's bloodshot eyes twitch. "I'll wipe that grin off your face!" She shouts, fishing quarters from her pocket.
For god's sake, someone drag her away!

"Yo, 'Zuki!" Dido pops up on your tablet screen, shadows under her eyes, a grease stain on her chin. "Could I ask you for a favor?"

Dido pops up on your tablet screens, looking chipper and extremely energized. "I challenge you to hand-to-hand mecha combat!"

[Feel free to make up your own fighter!]
There's this Okinawan Karateka with a cheerful smile, out to befriend the world one punch at a time, and a Muay Thai Fighter with extremely thick sideburns. There's plenty of Kung Fu Fighters like Drunken Yue Rong, and a French Savateur wearing a ballet dress. The Silat fighter looks pretty mean, face covered in jungle paint, while the Indian Kalaripayattu master is wearing gold chains right out of a Bollywood flick...
...ooh. There's a masked luchador with wicked shoulder pads and a long flowing scarf. The flowingest!
Which will you choose?
