Artist's Comments

I've always said you don't truly know someone until you play through all of Metal Slug 3 with them.

Before I moved back home, I made sure to play through all 7 games with my roommate, during which he coined the term "Tarmacide"

Tarmacide(n.): The act of commiting and act of mass destruction with a series of explosive devices at close range, despite the risk it puts upon the user. Not to be confused with Suicide Bombing, as Tarmacide can bestow "Hero Invulnerability" in rare cases, and relies heavily upon "Gar."

Adding to his legacy of other coined terms "masturbatic" and "Shinkawariffic" as well as assisting in integrating "gattai" into the english language, Tarmacide will forever live on, as an hero nevar forget.

FUCK YEAR METAL SLUG! There just aren't enough games like these anymore.

You also happened to have described one of my favorite strategies, although I usually play Fio (or Ralf in 6 because he's manly and kicks everyones ass), so I don't really know if it counts.

Anyway, like the pic. Captured the mood of the games perfectly without turning into a fat dude shanking people with a fork. Good on you.

I usually play as Marco or Fio (excluding 6 of course, Ralf is fuckwin) but this essentially encompasses my strategy throughout the entire game

However, I try not to die after lobbing all my grenades, as opposed to just running into the boss and killing myself.

Dude, this is the greatest interpretation of Tarma I've ever seen.

He and Fio are tied for my favorite character position, although I only ever play as Tarma. And I always use that strategy... Looks like I've got a new word to add to my vocabulary. :U

Tarmacide... when nothing else works. It's certainly my strategy throughout most of the game. :D
Awesome drawing!
