Sometime in the last eight years, he lost the ability to fall asleep, which would likely fall within the period he was still in La Jungla Rosa. There's a statement that he had been 'living this way' already without even acknowledging it. So then why did it take so long for him to develop his suicidal ideation? Was it largely the loss of hope of enjoying life once he escaped, since La Jungla Rosa was do dangerous it didn't give him time to even acknowledge how he was feeling?

Sorry for so many EC questions. But I'm starting to work on the draft for my EC story. And he is one of the most complex characters in terms of describing how he works and his experiences. I'd gladly switch to PMs if anyone was interested XP

Also...did anyone else notice posting images has become a lot more annoying? You legit need to upload files now. So...no pictures, but it's all in Chapter 82.5 in any case.

Hey guys. I honestly don't know which of the two subreddit to post on, but this one seems slightly more active?

Finishing CC definitely leaves you with a hole in your heart, so I was considering working on another fanfic, kinda inspired by the person who's crafting that Scourge x Kengna Ashura fic. Since El Cucaracho...didn't really change at all at the end of CC, I'd figure I'd use him into a sort of loose story/writing fights practice fanfic, where he just...goes around getting in fights. He finally goes to Japan and challenges the KA roster, hearing that the level of opponent there is high. I don't really have any details at all yet, and it's not supposed to really be a narrative type of story. CC and KAT don't mesh well in terms of timeline, so I'll probably just ignore stuff like that, since CC doesn't scream set piece with its inconsistencies. If I make it, I'll post it to Ao3. I don't think it'll actually be a good product, so maybe it's wrong of me to ask here. I am not a writer, and especially not a fight writer.

I do have many many questions both relating to EC, and writing as a concept, but I'd figure I'd try and water it down.

How do you think EC actually...lives day to day? He actively seeks death but...does he bother to eat or drink? Does he just take those things by force? I can't imagine how he'd get money aside from attacking crime gangs and stuff like that. Japan would obviously be different than the very passive villages in Mexico. Do you think there's a company he'd be represent as a fighter? Or not care of the rules and randomly run down on people?

How does EC's Battle IQ and PI work when he's not actually auto-piloting? He tries to fight 'mindlessly', but did exploit the weaknesses of Danger, Monkey See, Beatdown. Does he actually mentally know a move is coming b/c of PI or just his body knows. I think he tanked Beatdown's third elbow because he expected it, so his muscles were tense. Though tensing in anticipation sounds like something his body would have to force him to do. Does he always do these smart things to force the best out of his opponents, or would he speed-run opponents that don't seem worth his time, and tries to fight thoughtlessly against the stronger ones? I know his fight instincts are so good they're kinda ingrained in him, even when he's not 'forced' to do anything.

Finally for writing itself. How do you guys get so good at writing fights? Is it reading so much manga, reading actual martial arts books, just practice? How do you know how to accurately scale a fighter's BIQ and skill to their character, so that they're not some average joe or low level fighter, but not Kuroki infallible either?

Also, sorry I kinda lost the passion for fleshing out the wiki. I convert CC to a written summary in my free time, and considering it'll be north of 150+k words long when I'm done with it. I don't know if I can find the drive to write that much for the wiki again.

My instinct tells me it's from a Pokémon or Sonic game, so it must be rather popular, but I could never find the source. I heard it way back on a TF2 map as well.
