Real Lives 2007 (Casuals #16)

NOTE 1: On 1/4/2017, I completed a time attack of "Team Faust Games: Arena Fighters Special" and got a final time of 10 minutes and 13 seconds, playing as Mukai (made by Cyanide; imported under Free Characters) on Hard 8, infinite time per round, 100% life, normal game speed, and AI cheat off. He is from "The King of Fighters 2003" and was the true final boss of that game. He's one of the members of Those From The Distant Land, along with Magaki and Saiki. He starts each match with three super levels, and has some cheap supers and special moves, including a full-screen super where he turns you to stone, which has many extremely damaging follow-ups. Overall he's pretty cheap but not as broken as, say, all the Orochi edits in the world. Mukai has no ending. (UPDATE on 7/26/2017: DLC Pack Patch 4 has been released, so that means any runs that take place before 7/26/2017 were done on DLC Pack Patch 3).

NOTE 2: On 5/14/2017, I completed a time attack of "Team Faust Games: Arena Fighters Special" and got a final time of 13 minutes and 30 seconds, playing as Tengu (located under Shogun Warriors) on Hard 8, 100% life, infinite time per round, and normal game speed. One of the four bosses of this game becomes playable in TFG. He has two special moves, a Fire Wing (P + K of the same strength) and the Hi-yah (F, DF, D + K). Yes, it's not a QCF but rather a bizzare motion I have never seen before in a fighting game. I really don't have much else to say about him. "You need to have 'alot' of training." Tengu has no ending.

Zoubeir El Hadrioui is from Algeria - "You have died at age 0 of asphyxia in childbirth." I have nothing to say about that.

Manuel Aldair is from Brazil and only has 2 intelligence to begin the game with. Asthma kicks in at ten years old.  He steals a car 6 years later and gets 2,829 reals from a car theft. He avoided being drafted at age 18 but is drafted a year later after taking up smoking. At age 22 this happens. "You have been asked for a bribe from an official to get some necessary paperwork done." He exposes it. "Nothing has resulted." Oh well. I wanted something exciting to happens. The game keeps asking him about public assistance - "You have died at age 25 in a road traffic accident." Why did he do it? Why did he do that thing to him?

Anwar Haseeb Ahsan is from Mogadishu. His father dies of an infection at age 34 when he is ten years old. His mother dies of an infection when he is 15 years old. He risks his life to save the friend of his after stealing 128,833 shillings. He eventually helps his neighbor avoid prison then becomes addicted to drugs. He marries someone at age 35, but she gets goiter and he is still suffering from drug addiction. Then this happens. "You have been assaulted but fortunately suffered no permanent injuries." He gets assaulted at age 42 again as his health drops to nine - "You have died at age 49 from an infection."

Amisha Madhabi is from Sri Lanka. At age 1, she took a fall and suffered a broken femur. The injury has resulted in no permanent damage, however. At age 15, her brother Adit has COPD at a mere 15 years old. At age 18, security forces in Sri Lanka have executed without trial a number of dissidents. At age 25, her brother Ramakrishna has taken a dangerous fall and suffered an injured spinal cord. The injury has resulted in paralysis. Her  brother Adit has died at age 39 the next year from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. She was raped at age 39. At age 46, she has arthritis of the knee - "You have died at age 62 of an infection." Note that she never married either.

Cheryl Hunt is from the United States. Things are not going too well, as he's held back a year in school twice - "You are suffering from severe malnutrition." She got 145 dollars from a bicycle theft. His father dies at age 59 from a stroke when he is age 27 and her mother dies at age 65 in a road traffic accident. Her home was broken into and burglarized at age 29. Another thief comes in three years later. She decides to steal and stole goods worth 39,897 dollars. At age 44, she loses her investment in a bank account. She meets a man and was robbed for 350. Then she is robbed again for 200 something- "You have been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. You have died at age 65 from a stroke." PD is a chronic and progressive movement disorder, meaning that symptoms continue and worsen over time. At least THAT didn't kill her off...

Triago Djambek is from Indonesia, and gets goiter at 3 years old. Eleven years later, he returned a wallet to a grateful owner. He leaves the house at age 19 without finding a girlfriend. At age 20, his sister Maria dies at age 32 from an epileptic seizure. "That's no good!" I couldn't think of anything better to say. He meets one at 20 years old, but this happens. "My girlfriend Ridwan is not ready for marriage. Ridwan Kartodirdjo broke off our relationship." At age 23, he gets married and starts having children. At age 27, civil war happens in Sulawesi Utara province and he moves to Dali (by his own choice, not the game). After having two more children, this happens. "Your mother has died at age 67 from cirrhosis caused by hepatitis." I think the message was something else but the dialog in the diary was completely different. Cirrhosis is a complication of liver disease which involves loss of liver cells and irreversible scarring of the liver, and I can't remember the last time this happened to somebody. At least it wasn't me. Also, Maria (a new one) was involved in a road traffic accident - she's ONE! How is she driving? At age 36, his sister Dara-Petak's husband Syarifuddin has suffered an epileptic seizure. At age 44, this happens. "Your wife Rasuna has died at age 44 from cirrhosis caused by hepatitis." NO! This can't be, she just abruptly dropped dead. At age 47, his sister Dyah's husband Somoukil has nearly drowned. At age 50, all this happens. "Your sister Dyah has died at age 64 from diabetes." "Your sister Dyah's husband Somoukil has reduced vision from cataracts." "Your sister Maria's husband Muzaffer has stomach cancer." "Your sister Dina has taken a dangerous fall and suffered some brain damage." Your son Kraeng-Samarluka has been cured of trichuriasis." I didn't didn't even know he had that! Muzaffer is offed from the cancer the next year - "You have died at age 65 from pneumonia." He didn't even have it before he dropped dead! At least he joins his wife in the afterlife...
