Hmm. When I posted this, I used "Mortal_Kombat" and "Kung_Fu_Election" as tags. Why are there no tags at all? (And I though you couldn't post without tags.)

It's because your tags are that ninja.

From Kung Fu Panda to Kung Fu Pandering, in record time. I suspect ninjas.

From a stupid hockey mom...
What did her party do?
What did they put her through?
They said when Palin was vetted,
the stress nearly killed McCain! (dun, dun, dun, dun, dun)
But man, he had it comin'! Now that Palin's got a gun

This is the hardest game i've ever played. Are they going for some kind of parallelism?

I'm playing republicans because the computer is better than me and it got depressing the other way around.

You'd think they'd give you an option to set the difficulty level or perhaps tone down the AI at least a little bit. After getting my ass handed to me by Palin while playing both Obama and Biden I lost interest quick.

It turns out Richardson, with his naginata, is unstoppable with his uppercut. The trick it seems is reach.

Terrible.

I made it as far as Bush with Biden. He just has to be quiet and keep his head down until the time is right . . .

I'm ashamed to admit I beat the game with Palin and wallowed in the blood of the end boss, four armed george bush.

Oh, hey, they updated the game.

This is... somewhat in line with my recurring fantasy of both tickets taking each other on in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

On Election Night.

And it'd have to be broadcast live. (Doing it over wi-fi would be okay, but it would be even funnier if both pairs were together on-site.)

You KNOW it would be awesome.

Hilarious, inventive, detialed, but wished it was not insanely difficult..

Slogans like that are change I can believe in.

I'm sure the real Obama feels the same way.

It's actually not that hard once you learn the trick: hold down the block key; wait for your opponent to come within range; uppercut him. Repeat.

I beat Bush with McCain. I LOL'ed at some of the characters' special attacks, particularly Hillary's projectile attack: she summons Bill from thin air to come pummel you.

And, yeah, Palin's bladed hockey stick/shotgun combo is pretty righteous.
