Most of you probably already know that  rocksteady often holds raffles in the form of fighting tournaments for his stream. It's fairly simple, you choose a character (or team), you're placed on the roster, and then he and a friend (or few) play them until they have a winner.

Recently, he ran a King of Fighters XIV tournament: the Summer Smackdown 2016. Team of three fighters, 76 players, best of three (except for the finals, best of five). Three winners, they would get art from  Deimion_J_ShadowWolf.  dawmino,  kaboozlefa, respectively. Rocky and  daigo would be holding the fights.

Seeing as I got the piece from Deimion (and the title) guess where I placed? I made a journal about it, you know...

Oh, funny story, too. You see, as KoF XIV is a team-based fighter, I uh... made the assumption that it would be a team pic. I did figure it out later, but not until I explained to Rocky and Deimion what I wanted. I expected only Atrele as Terry Bogard, but Deimion went through with it and now we have Daigo as Sylvie (sorry!) and Rocky as Athena. Fucking awesome? Hell yes, it's fucking awesome.

Also, Atrele's rocking those jeans. Dayum. Note to self, give Deimion money sometime.

Original piece by  Deimion_J_ShadowWolf, Daigo belongs to  Daigo, Rocky belongs to  Rocksteady and Atrele belongs to me <3
