Computer Game Socks
Description: Launched in 1994 by Cupertino, California-based Catapult Entertainment, XBAND was one of the first competitive online gaming networks at a time when online gaming was still a fairly new concept. XBAND was delivered as a modem that plugged into the cartridge slot of popular consoles, which in turn allowed the game cartridge to be piggybacked in its own slot, and as a plug-in PC version later. The client-side system worked by manipulating game memory similar to Game Genie and other third-party game mods of the era, while also allowing players to connect via dial-up. Gamers could play head-to-head, compete for the high score on leaderboards, and eventually, in national tournaments. Despite reasonable popularity, XBAND was shut down in 1997.
Description: Akuma wears a symbol on his back, this symbol comes from the Japanese kanji meaning, 'ten'. The symbol itself comes from the Chinese language, and it was later adapted by the Japanese. It means several things as Japanese words often do, including: 'day', 'sky', 'heaven', 'beyond human', 'invincible', 'more than man' and 'ten'. It is synonymous with 'Immortal'. It basically means what Capcom has always conveyed, that Akuma is no longer human. In folklore, whenever the character 'ten' appears on a person's forehead, it means that that person is immortal. Capcom, for clarities sake, placed the symbol on the back of his gai.
