X time has been described as a very long space of
time. According to the Urban Dictionary, it can also
be defined as New York time but in reverse.

6 times whatever the stated interval is. This term
has been introduced to parody the repeated failed
promises made by X in general. According to this
time “Q1” means “Q4,” “coming soon” means

make a game "a lot more hard edge, a little bit more serious, a
little bit more like Enter the Dragon or Bloodsport" than Street
Fighter II's cartoon fantasy style, Boon and Tobias decided to
continue their project even after the deal to use the Bloodsport
license fell through. One of their own characters, became "a
spoof on the whole Van Damme situation". What game series
is X, and what is the character being talked about?
