This week: Jourdal

Why did you choose that particular handle, is there a story or reference you'd like to explain?

My original handle was Xemnas from KH series, i generally default to that when i can't think of anything because no one likes that guy and the name tends to be available. When my YT page started to gain popularity i thought it would be best to have my DL/YT names matching. The name jourdal was just a combination of my two younger brothers names because....i couldnt think of anything when making a YT account.

This week: Mr. Kimura

- Why did you choose that particular handle, is there a story or reference you'd like to explain?

Well my original name on SRK was Joe-oh-ken, which was a mix of my name and Sakura's Shouoken in Street Fighter. Then I changed it to Saikyo Joe cause I main Dan. When I joined Dustloop I was for a very short time called ViewtifulJoe, but I felt that was too much of a ripoff. Which lead to me naming (and ripping off another name) myself Mr. Kimura from Azumanga Daioh, since I love that show and wish to become a teacher when I can finally afford college. Thinking of changing it to Saikyo Joe for consistency... but you can call me Joe.

This Week: Urichinan

- Why did you choose that particular handle, is there a story or reference you'd like to explain?

I actually came up with the name Urichinan (Ud-ee-chi-non) when I first joined Dustloop. As I was signing up I realized that I didn't have a handle, so I just started randomly punching in letters until I found one that I liked the look/sound of. And that's how I ended up with the title. However, a lot of people know me as WoZscreamer, which is an old PSN account that I shared with my brother-in-law, he named it after the band he was in (Wake of Zion) and eventually he decided to make a new account after I had added a lot of friends. Technically it wasn't even mine, but everyone had come to know me as WoZ, so I kept it. It wasn't until a few months ago that I decided to take Urichinan on as my handle.

This Week: Amadeous

- Why did you choose that particular handle, is there a story or reference you'd like to explain?

Hahah, oh man that's a fun one. A few years back I was a big GunZ the Duel player. The first time I played it was at a friend's house back in middle school, so probably about 7 years or so ago. It was pretty late ...
