One of the major players in the Fighting Game Community is Madcatz. They make the fightsticks that a great deal of player use and they have their own team of players. This team includes none other than Daigo "The Beast" Umehara.
Anyways, this company (Madcatz) has an unofficial mascot that travels to all the events and helps hype the crowd. He's a guy dressed in a giant tiger suit with a Madcatz shirt on. Now I know I've never mentioned this before, but I'm terrified of furries. You're allowed to laugh, fine, but it's something I utterly uncomfortable with. So in a moment of sheer terror I tweeted this little snippet:
It was meant more of a joke since I was watching online and barely saw any of the guy. It got retweeted once or twice by friends who agreed and then the night when like normal.
Today though, I'm minding my own business, probably watching YouTube videos or browsing Reddit (yeah, what about it?). Then this shows up in my timeline:
At first I was wondering who this guy was. Because I use tweetdeck as my twitter client the profile pics are pretty small. I also had no idea what this guy was talking about, so I click on his profile.
Unofficial Madcatz mascot..................
If you look at my tweet above, you'll notice there's no mention of his username or any hashtag. Naturally I was confused as to how he found my tweet. I still don't know how he did it, unless someone else saw it and mentioned it, but that seems like a stretch.
Either way it gave me a good laugh, even though my heart skipped a beat at first. Just goes to show you they'll find you ANYWHERE YOU GO.
