It's back. My stupidly hard Xmas work quiz is live. As per usual I've done round one and now I'm stuck on the answer for round 2.

I've actually identified all the pictures, found the clue but the answer isn't working 😭

Sorry for crappy pictures but if you use the first letter of each of the album names it spells out "album ones singers" so I thought it must be the singers on the Arctic Monkeys album 'AM'....but whichever way I put the names in it doesn't work.

Then I thought as the clue at the top is "Artistless" maybe I had to remove Alex Turner (as Turner is a famous artist) but I'm still striking out!

As always, any help appreciated & if I've missed any of the amazing quizzers who usually play along (I know I have) please feel free to tag them

The Thai Street fighters are
Adon
M Bison
Sagat

So, either AMS
or A MB S

I'm thick and can't any of them but always love this thread

I'm too old for this level of popular culture 😭. I might have to sit out until there's an 80's music round.

I definitely think this is it but i'm struggling to get the correct letters in. The puzzle says the answer in 3 letters in alpha order.

I have tried AMS, ABS (& also ambs) but it's not having it

I came up with Kukin, or something like that, try a AKS

nope

There also seems to be Nuakan, giving the initials A K N S.

Try A K N or K N S.

Also, do you need spaces or returns? The Japan and USA letters are on separate lines for each character name?

Everywhere I look has a slightly different list of Thai fighters 😂 I've just found one that lists Sagat, Somsak and Kiki, so maybe try SSK?
(imagine if we spend ages on this and it's something else entirely 😂)

*kikun

KSS (alphabetical order)

That’s the list I found too - so:

K
S
S

not AKN, JKN or KSS.

You can do spaces but not returns so i'm trying upper/lower case and with/without spaces

Amusingly I saw a list that went ASS

i tried ASS......

M.Bison is also known as Vega, so ASV?

A J S??

Not AJS or ASV

Wiki fandom suggests Adon, Kikun, Nuakan, Sagat and Somsak, but that’s too many letters.

Hold on.

Could the problem be that Street Fighter was originally a video game and now there is a fuck ton of spin off things, like TV series, films etc

(I loved Jean Claude Van Damne in the first film)

Plus, there are loads of characters from China, but there is only one: CL, who presumably is Chun Li.

So, are we meant to focus on one specific thing or the top character or something?

Are the original Thai characters M.Bison and Sagat?

Would that be BMS?

I think they mean that they use the Vega character instead of M Bison in some countries, not that it's an alternative name (I suddenly know way more about street fighter than anyone should 😂)

YESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BMS it is!

PHEW

what a broad range of wisdom we have on Mumsnet 😂😂
