Inspired by the fighting game limericks thread.

If you don't know, a haiku is a form of Japanese poetry with 3 lines. The first and last both contain 5 syllables, and the middle one contains 7.

I'll start you off:

Jab jab rocket punch
Sentinel is flying fast
Rush that shit down bitch

I do a safe poke
What the fuck is this bullshit
Umeshoryu

That is a special?
You build meter like nothing!
This game is broken!

How did you do that?
Down forward downforward punch?
Shoryuken! Yes!

Am I missing something?
Isn't umeshoryu 4? u-me-sho-ryu?
Isnt shoryuken! Yes! 4 too? sho-ryu-ken yes?
is it the ryu? you guys taking it as ri-yu? i believe its a composite syllable

unless you guys are being lenient on the 5-7-5 "rule"...

Sticks to the wall and gets shot

Habroken! I thought Shoryuken was 4 syllables by itself. INDEED.

If its a 'composite syllable' then...QUICK FIX!

How did you do that?
Down forward downforward punch?
"I just learned something!"

That last line is dedicated to you...and the 'composite syllable.' Indeed!

Funny you should mention that, it's shoryuken = sho-u-ryu-u-ke-n 6 syllables according to a Japanese haiku actually :P

"You call that a haiku? YOU'RE JUST COUNTING SYLLABLES!!!"
