Rei's Mailbag - July 30th, 1998

Today's edition of Rei's Mailbag covers Ehrgeiz, Momo, The Rei Hour, Katt, Ryu's hair, Teepo, the Weretiger, and PaRappa references. (WARNING: GA2 and BOF3 spoilers) Tomorrow's guest editor is Mayor Domino, so send your questions and comments to Domino's Mailbag.

Q: Hello Rei, I've got a question for you. Why do you have a tail? Was it just that I didn't play far enough into the game to hear about this, but explain please.

Thanks,
A curious gamer (AKA Travis Allen)

Rei sez: I have a tail because I'm half tiger. Doesn't that just beat all?

1. My friend thinks you and Momo had a thing for each other. Is that true?
2. Don't you hate it when people ask you questions like that?
3. Which of the things you think "beat all" really beats all?
4. Did you understand that?
5. If not I mean what do you think beats all?
6. Why?
7. Who is batman!?
8. Are you a secret character in Ehrgiz?
9. How do you pronounce Ehrgiz?
10. What kinda name is Ehrgiz?

Okay that's it. Doesnt that just beat all? -The Infamous Westward Stabber.

Rei sez:
1. Momo's a mole, I'm half-tiger. Doesn't that just beat all?
2. Yes.
3. I think it was when Ryu caught a whale fishing. Doesn't that just beat all?
4. Yeah.
5. I already answered.
6. You can't catch a whale with a fishing pole.
7. Palet is Batman. No, wait, he was that other guy... R3X or something...
8. No.
9. Air-Gaitz.
10. I think it's German. Doesn't that just beat all?

Q: 1) Why couldn't you use your Weretiger ability when Ryu was with you at the beginning of the game? It would've made the first part of the game a lot easier.
2) What in the Universe is Garr saying when he does his critical attack? "Gavior!!"? Or is he sneezing and it gives his attack extra force?
3) Where did you find Teepo? Was he sealed in Jello... um, chrysm the same way that Ryu was somewhere?
4) Doesn't this just beat all?

~Nature Leseul

Rei sez:
1. I didn't want to hurt Ryu or Teepo on accident -- being berserk, you know. That's why I was disappointed when they showed up on Mt. Glaus.
2. It's just a grunt. Doesn't that just beat all?
3. No, I found him out in the woods. He was playing table tennis with one of those big green birds. He was pretty good, too. Doesn't that just beat all?
4. Yeah!

Q: 1. How can I get tickets to your show, The Rei Hour? And how are the ratings.
2. How hard was it for you to fight against Teepo at Myria?
3. Some people say you're the same species as Katt from BOF2. Is this true?
4. Ever try asking Capcom for your own game?

Rei sez:
1. The ratings are really bad, I'm afraid. Cait Sith came on and told me all these things I could do to improve the show. Doesn't that just beat all?
2. I thought to myself... "Doesn't this just beat all?"
3. Yeah. It has a name, but I forgot it. Doesn't that just beat all?
4. A game about me? I dunno... but there needs to be a game about Peco...

Q:Hi Rei! Here's some questions.
1. Who does your hair?
2. Do you have any type of accent?
3. How did you feel about killing Teepo?
4. Have you ever heard Ryu talk?
5. Who does Ryu's hair?
6. How come you look the same in both halfs of the game even though you apparently grow up? Ryu and Nina looked different. Why not you?
7. Are you related to Katt from BoF2? If so do you know what species you two are?
8. Doesn't that just beat all?

Rei sez:
1. 2. Yeah, I have this really deep voice that's impossible to understand. Doesn't that just beat all?
3. I think it just beats all.
4. He shouts stuff in Japanese during battle. Other than that, no.
5. The same guy who does Crono's and Cloud's hair. Doesn't that just beat all?
6. Hey! I changed appearance! I have spikey hair now, instead of straight hair, and I have a black jacket instead of a purple one. Start a new game and look at me! I'm different! Doesn't that just beat all?
7. I'm not related to her, but we're from the same species... I think it starts with a T....
8. It beats some out of the things that just beat all, but not all of the things that just beat all.

Q:Mr. Rei Weretiger:

It is I, the ever annoying Smart Crono come a-calling! Now that I've finished with my mandatory introduction, I am now free to interrogate you.

1. Does that really just beat all, or are you just pretending?

2. Are the little red lines that appear during your transformation a manifestation of the psychic anguish involved, or are they just neat little effects?

3. Is the reploid Slash Beastleo from Mega Man X4 by any chance a relative of yours? The two of you do share several common physical traits. (e.g. spiked back hair)

4. Are you seeing a shrink in an attemp to calm your rage in your weretiger form?

That's it for today!

The Real, Smart Crono

Fritz sez: Rei wasn't going to answer this letter, but I printed it because it has a (possibly unintentional) PaRappa reference in it. And it's also correct. That's it for today! Good job, Rei, you can go onto the next stage now!

Rei sez: Yahoo! Doesn't this just beat all?
