how did we get to a point where videogame eunthusiast don't know shit about this guy &/or outright deny his popularity/history and not realize for a single second how important he was.
I wasn't personally wanting him in Smash but i'm not mad about it - pretty glad we got this cool dude in, especially with everything he's dragging behind in terms of innovations within the FGC of old.
I'm 22 and getting fucking confused as to why boomers AND zoomers alike are getting assmad about the guy. Yeah maybe KOF isn't Ultra-mega-known but it's better than getting literal nobodies like Hero. I get that DRAGON QUEST deserved representation - but Hero was truly a nobody - DESIGNED to be a nobody because he's an empty shell for the player to dwell in.
But that's not the case with him - people get angry at a very known face of the FGC and meanwhile ask to get that one NPC from that one Mario game they played on SNES. Fucking mindboggling.
lol what does the British broadcasting corporation have to do with this?
Nathaniel Hughes
A combination of these things >SNK fucking died >Nintendo fans who don't play near exclusively on their systems don't get much exposure to third parties aside from indies >Fighting games are niche
David Walker
Did Sakurai lie about Nintendo giving him a list of DLC choices? These characters feel pretty, dare I say, based, to be a corporation choice.
Fighting games in the 90s were a dime a dozen. Terry, while I don't dislike his design, is simply just a very boring choice. People don't want to pay for boring.
If he got to choose, it'd be Rock Howard. You know I'm right.
Lucas Price
to be honest, i'm glad if they're all Sakurai pics, because if he ever had to listen to the community more than necessary, we'd end up with even more irrelevant shit.
i see so many people yelling for Terry's inclusion when they're trying to pull fuckin' Ninjaman from Ninja Gaiden or Doomguy from Shoot-a-demon. or Steve, even though it's a meme.
Wyatt Myers
God damn, they put a lot of love into his character model. Smash players really don't realize what a treat they're getting, I'm kind of jealous. Maybe I'll get a switch so I can play as Terry, but smash isn't very fun to me so it'll probably be a waste. I really hope Nintendo fans turn their attitudes towards him around, Terry is awesome.
Based Terry dabbing on retards getting excited over a fucking skin. Based Terry will probably have effort put into his moveset instead of being a clone characters like most of the other DLC characters.
Luis Nelson
Go jack off to pokemon you retarded faggot, adults are talking about fighting game characters.
Why couldn't it have been Nakoruru or Mai Shiranui? People would have been more excited for one of these two.
Angel Butler
Shut the fuck up, SNK spic.
Michael Ortiz
doubt
Gavin Gray
SNK has been heavily supporting Switch since Day 1, it's likely they put SNK on the list because of that and Sakurai jumped on it. Playing KOF was the inspiration for Smash for him, funnily enough because he beat a newbie so bad (in 95 or 96 I think) he felt bad for him and wanted to make a game where there was a more level playing field. Hero & Banjo are choices from big companies that wanted in, as well. Joker may be the one where he pulled some strings since Sakurai loves P5 in particular; maybe Atlus was a potential collaborator and he demanded Joker in particular.
Ryan Cooper
It should’ve been Rock.
Isaac Clark
Big Bogard cock
Matthew Clark
Sakurai always picks protagonists first for playable characters. If not Terry, it would have been either Kyo, Haohmaru, or Marco. Granted, I'd be even more excited for Haohmaru or Marco than Terry, but I'm pretty stoked for him as-is.
At this point the level of shitposting rosterfags generate amuses me. I wanted Hayabusa before, but now part of the draw for me is the people who will actually be mad about it. I can just imagine it: >First two Kens, now two Ryus?
Fighting games are a niche genre and any fighting game that's not called Street Fighter, Tekken or Mortal Kombat is even more obscure. I don't know why insecure FGC fags are so desperate to act like Terry Bogard is a household name.
It's always so lame when people hold up a character for their "historical value" or because they represent a particular company or genre. They'll take the boring, generic character over the interesting or popular one just for the sake of a roster that they think is "correct".
The harsh reality is that SNK is dead, KoF has never been mainstream, and unless you are a fighting game autist or a mexican, the only reason you might have even heard of Terry is because of memes.
Austin Campbell
Would be if Sakurai had his way. We got Joker instead.
Nathaniel Hughes
Only spic subhumans care about this irrelevant Ken wannabe. Even Sans overshadowed his entire reveal, and that was just a costume. He will definitely be the first character to be cut in Smash 6.
Ryan Green
People born after 1990 are shit, OP. That's all you need to know.
Henry Perez
>Thinks FF/KoF has any history beyond being Not Street Fighter Strike 1 >shits on Dragon Quest's Heroes Strike 2 >implies Geno is an NPC Strike 3 OP's retarded.
Christian Ward
Hitler was born before 1990.
Jaxon Reed
Same desu. Ryu and Doomguy are the only characters left I can honestly say I'm interested in.
William Thompson
>Sans overshadowed his entire reveal Maybe in your faggot circle of Twitter going losers who speak in memes and pretend to play video games. Meanwhile people who really do are excited to play an actual good game character.
this proves that you dont play anything that isnt nintendo. faggot only knows characters in smash and doesnt know who terry is.
William Thompson
I don't know why people assume Sakurai and Nintendo aren't on the same wavelength of who they'd like to get. Sakurai probably wanted Joker but I bet Nintendo wanted him too because they've been buddy-buddy with Atlus for a long time. Nintendo also want Dragon Quest to be a big thing, they also have a huge relationship with Microsoft going on, and SNK is one of the Switch's most reliable third parties.
Just because Nintendo's suits might want certain characters/companies doesn't mean they're out of touch. Now let's hope they add Travis into the game so NMH might finally break through the less-than-niche territory.
*Hat Ken See. The characters are so identical that I accidentally called him by the wrong name. That should tell you how boring and uninspired Terry is.
Anthony Johnson
Fuck Terry, I hope he gets removed from Ultimate in a patch.
smashfags would still bitch theyd call him punch shulk or something
Justin Smith
>Meanwhile even boomers don't lug those people in with my generation, you guys are the generation after mine by close to a decade stay out of my 80s birthdates, bitch
Brandon Green
It's blatantly obvious at this point >wanted joker because he loved p5, enough to the point ult's ui rips it off >atlus guys literally said sakurai was the one who contacted them >hero because no shit it's dq, shit is like crack for the japanese >wanted to do something with banjo since at least Melee >SNK/KoF are the reason Smash is a thing in the first place, and several game mechanics are used by smash already All the DLC have a personal connection to Sakurai so far
Joshua Gutierrez
KIF was a bigger deal than MK in the actual scene back in the day. It's always been a series more for casual spectacle than anything.
Adrian Thomas
No that just tells everyone you're fucking stupid.
why is it so hard for these idiots to understand that Smash is a video game celebrating video-game characters of popular franchises, time period and or genres?
as we all know, it started celebrating Nintendo's most popular franchises. then it got bigger to the point of introducing 3rd parties (Snake and Sonic) until getting to this point where is celebrating history of video games.. literally. you faggots got Banjo. a character that nobody from Asia care about and yet wont stop bitching about characters that are not relevant to your own personal nostalgic garbage.
Adam Sanchez
Sorry buster, you got two more months of this, then a flood of Terry posts when he's released. Are you okay?
Lucas Fisher
super smash bros is gay lol
Austin Green
>Smash literally exists thanks to FF & KOF, as Sakurai already said. It also sprouted different genres of Fighting games based on long combos like pretty much everything ArcSystemWorks does nowadays. > I'm sorry you feel bad for me saying that those empty shells designed to be a host for the player are all soulless and meant to be this way because they were never meant to be anything than a reflection of your own actions > Geno is a party member in a god damn spinoff game that nobody else than memers and hardcore nostalgiafags care about
sorry faggot
Jack Gonzalez
Banjo is shit, too. But at least there are people who actually knew who he was before getting into Smash.
Hudson Young
a one of the most boring and generic designs in existence even japan people called it pokemon trainer with muscles XD
Josiah Allen
What did people even want aside from Terry? Is it just Geno/Isaac/Sorafags?
Jacob Hughes
imagine not even having played a game with terry chadgard in it while simultaneosuly calling yourself a gaymer enjoy your sans undertale cosmetic, but guess what he's still low tier trash, and i will be dabbing on you all day when i main terry
I knew about fatal fury/king of fighters vaguely but none of the characters outside of him and the guy in the trailer with the red hair who laughs. I'm not mad about him being in though, even if there weren't extra dlc slots announced his addition just wasn't really something I cared about negatively or positively. I'll be interested if they add in a PRANKED skin though.
Levi Stewart
V isn't soulless, but he's also not playable.
Justin Allen
Yet there are how many Fire Emblem characters?
Jack Turner
or iori
William Davis
>smashfags >videogame eunthusiast
John Hernandez
You mean literally everyone? There wasn't a single fire emblem game released in the west when Melee came out.
Austin Cruz
If he gets a Garou alt, I won't ask Samurai for another damn thing ever.
Tyler Powell
Well, Smashfags hate Fire Emblem now so it all evens out.
Dominic Powell
>Travis Touchdown in now seems more like a reality with how these picks are turning out
Iroi would be dope but I feel like he's always been second fiddle and doesn't really rep SNK like Kyo or Terry. Actually Marco would have been super dope too.
Levi Campbell
He said the NINTENDO LIST thing at the same time he said that the DLC was chosen after the game was done, which we know is blatantly bullshit too.
In other words, he was just lying to make autists stop tweeting at him.
Carter Miller
Can people stop with the "nobody shit"? None of the dlc characters up until now are nobodies.. All of them have left some kind of mark in gaming history/represent it. Hero represents Dragon Quest, which is a pioneer of the JRPG genre.
Actual nobodies are characters like Geno who has been in a single spin off game and nothing else. He's kept alive by rosterfagging.
Michael Edwards
>casuals >videogame eunthusiasts pick one
Jace King
Zoomers who have never been into an arcade.
Hunter Green
i fucking wish we would get him. I also wish that people will be just as confused and mad when we get him.
Nolan Flores
Still boggles me why he has a KoF based stage when he's repping Fatal Fury. Why isn't he fighting in South Town at a train yard or on a train?
Liam Adams
Too bad Terry isn't a character of a popular franchise or genre.
People are angry because we got yet ANOTHER joke rep from a dead series when we could have gotten something meaningful like a Fire Emblem rep (which just had a hugely significant game release).
Adrian James
So that means he'd pick Demitri over Morrigan?
Isaac Williams
I didn't want my snk to be mixed the the reeking manchildren of nin toddler
>Suda has been begging Sakurai to add Travis >Said he wasn't in the Fighters Pass a month or so ago >Travis Strikes Again came out this year, NMH3 out next year >More DLC fighters announced >Joker & Terry are very much Sakurai-influenced picks At this point the only thing stopping Travis would be a hard veto from Nintendo.
I'm fine with Terry, have enjoyed a bunch of games from the NESTS & Orochi saga, maybe i'll even get the upcoming game. No one goes into Smash Bros as a certified Vidya enthusiast. This is another side effect of the autism spreading since 3rd parties have been added & refugees feel like there was any standards coming in to Smash. It was always just people wanting to see Mario fight Link or Pikachu at its core, and while the demographic has broadened, the core that's still in for basically just that but with better graphics & maybe a new rep of their favorite franchise. Seems like people even forgot the past: There was a time where everyone knew that Smashfags were up there along with Pokémonfags as the fanbase with the most amount of people that played their game & just that.
Mason Rodriguez
Wish it was Eri or someone else from metal slug, I don't really dislike it or anything but we've already got ryu/ken

I didn't know who Martha was when I was a kid. But instead of get mad at him I researched who he was and grew to like the games that released that bore his series name. Now he's overrepresented and I hate him.
Hunter Roberts

There exists a world outside of your Smash circlejerk, bitch.

Can you all fuck off ? Everybody's going mad because of approximately 13 children found on twitter who didn't know Fatal Fury. We're getting hundreds of threads like this and many bait threads.

Oliver Ramirez

Tyler Johnson
Hell nothing against Bayo but even she got in despite having two games. Travis has had three games and a fourth game coming out and he was out of the game for almost a decade. Plus Suda and Sakurai are really good buddies. Travis could be another Snake like inclusion. I'm really hopeful for Travis, would be a great pick and the butthurt would be even greater.
no reason to hate the OG fe rep whether or not his series is overrepped though
Jaxson Kelly
SNK has been dead for nearly 20 years until recently, jumping back into a new demographic where nobody knows about them except FGC boomers, and even then their comeback came with a rough start (KOF XIV looking fucking ugly, Samsho a bit less but still not up to par). SNK has been doing a good job this year getting their name back out there, but they still have a ways to go, they have to kill it with KOF XV.
>You're playing a "fighting game" Smash is big enough that it transends the genre. it was a big deal when Tekken 7 sold 3-4 million copies. Smash Wii U sold 5 million.
>SNK died? Wot. SNK games have a huge following and have had major and popular releases in the last few years. Are you retarded? Even at fighting game events, King of Fighters can barely get enough entries and everyone forgot they announced a new title. Samurai Showdown did well but that after a decade of nothing. Last real Metal Slug game was released in 06 and the rest have been mobile games that did poorly. It's more impressive that people remember SNK.
John Lopez
a new generation of faggy gamers, made worse by the ones that love the shitty game called Smash Bros
SNK died for a reason. Definitely not a name that belongs in Smash.
Jayden Parker
It's called trolling, retardo. Everyone except ultranormalfag underage fags know who Terry is. They are just seething because they wanted some actual literal who like Sans or Geno, so they pretend not to know Terry to make the point that the characters they wanted deserved the spot more.
They're getting somewhat of a revival, buy you're in denial if you actually believe SMB players know about SNK legendary run in the fighting game circuit during the 90s
David Long
what do you mean, they obviously saw potential in the south american market
Jaxson Powell
>relevancyfags still at it You really should've learned with Simon
Yea Forums has this weird quality where everyone prides themselves not not knowing things or people as if it makes them look high class.
Kevin Hughes
this has to be a bait post. Marth didn't have a single game in the US yet, the first US FE title was Roy's game of all things. Meanwhile nearly every single game Terry's been in has been in western arcades and had PS2/XBLA/PC releases. fatal fury may be long dead besides Garou's re-releases, but you can play 98UM and 2002UM, the best KOF games period, on Steam right now.
Aiden Williams
I get how younger people may not immediately offhand know SNK's titles. I agree they haven't been in the best of places. But what we're seeing isn't people NOT GETTING it, what we're seeing is Smash fags actively getting angry over a piece of Fighting game history. It takes no effort to look up this guy up. Hell the new SMASH will probably even give some info itself. So rather than just seeing it as "Oh okay this was kind of a deal and a cool throw back" they whine about not getting it. They're flaunting ignorance and then wonder why the rest of the FGC looks down on them.
It hurts that wubba wubba posting never caught on.
Hudson Hill
KoF never ever had the popularity or impact Banjo & Kazooie had.
Owen Nguyen
Honestly rosterfags are probably some of the worst posters in all of Yea Forums because they flood everything whenever their memes don't get in while shitposting for weeks on end like they had a personal slight committed against them when someone they don't care for does get in.
Aaron Reed
Not really the first character that comes to mind when people think of a fighting game. And after Ryu and Ken, he's still not even the third character that comes to mind.
Ayden Lopez
Then why are we still getting KoF and Banjo is dead and buried?
Maybe 1% of the Smash Community gives a fuck about the FGC, and it's mostly just to get in their event, which TOs usually have to accept because everything nowadays is a pebble compared to Smash Ultimate. The rest doesn't care, nobody gives a shit if you subhumans are seething
Nathaniel Rogers
Doesn't bring anything new to the roster, his niche is already filled.
Nolan Torres
Call him Hat Ken, call him irrelevant, call him boring, call him whatever you want, but there's one thing he is with certainty: HE'S IN! You're angry, you're dejected, you're disappointed, but are you OKAY?
>It's more impressive that people remember SNK. this, it doesn't really matter if a character was popular 20 years ago. if their games haven't stayed popular since, you can't really say their characters are still gaming icons that everyone should know and care about.
Nathan Garcia
He means Big Black Cock
Jack Rodriguez
I don't see anyone else saying ARE YOU OKAY!?, or BUSTAH WOLF!
I feel like everybody is just arguing against a Smash strawman that doesn't exist, or is a literal nobody on twitter complaining about Geno or whoever in Smash that gets likes and retweets that total in the triple digits which is fucking nothing. Most people online seem pretty enthusiastic or interested in Terry. Yeah, it's kind of a gag that people might be more enthusiastic about Sans if just for the novelty of it, but it's hardly ambivalence on Terry's part.
If you just want to be gatekeeping hipsters or whatever there are more effective ways of going about that.
this. For being the most popular game they try really hard to be taken seriously, not to mention all the seething at LESS POPULAR GAMES during evo threads.
Andrew Thompson
So Garou Terry’s leather jacket was a gift from Blue Mary but the jacket originally belonged to Mary’s first love and was her most prized possession. This this make Terry a super cuck or a super bull? And is widow NTR a real thing?
Aaron Moore
terry should have been a costume and sans should have got in it's really unfair to us undertale fans
Banjo & Kazooie were kept alive by pure meme magic, their series was dead and buried otherwise. Everything after tooie was fail after fail from Microsoft's incompetence. It's a fucking miracle Sakurai went into the anus depths of Microsoft's dead corpse to bring them back when it would have been so much easier for him to get Steve instead.
Just because you don't know something doesn't make it not popular or historically relevant.
Asher Barnes
>and the butthurt would be even greater. What butthurt? Travis is cool as fuck.
Ian Long
I doubt it. SNK has been supporting Switch like crazy and Nintendo took notice. Nintendo literally asked SNK at gamescom to make SNK Heroines a Switch exclusive. They weren't able to do that because they already had the PS4 version and promotions in place but the compromise was that the game would be that physical versions of the game would be exclusive to Switch.
Also the SNK legacy, I'm sure some Nintendo executive put Terry on the list.
Steve, Sans, Doomguy would win a spot based on popularity. You might hate it but they have more relevancy than ARE YOU OKAY? I didn't really care much about him being added but it's a pick that makes the statement "we'd rather consider our DLC not based on money" so that's cool.
Landon Clark

Travis is amazing but not many people know of him or his games. Since NMH is from that niche-as-fuck demographic in which Bayo & DMC also dwells; hope for them was kinda off the table until Bayo got in.

Levi Nelson
well fuck that. people want characters they like in the games they play
Hunter Jenkins
>Sakurai puts in Tumblrtale before Travis Some good buddy he is.
I think people misinterpreted that tweet, what I think happened is that Nintendo gave him a huge list of all the realizable characters, and from that list he picked 5 to be the DLC
Owen Rivera
Hayabusa and Doomguy are good choices though
Luis Hall

Adrian Butler
I don't play fighting games and don't know the history about them at all. What did Fatal Fury/KoF do that wasn't already done by things like Street Fighter or Mortal Kombat? Because those two series are still actually relevant and make it to things like Evo. What makes this series so important to the history of fighting games if it tapered off and piratically vanished, to where it's barely recognizable save for a select few characters? How is Terry "The face of the FGC" as OP claims when FF isn't even played anymore?
it's not "shitting on" the dq heroes to point out the obvious: that they're generic non-characters designed to be avatars for the player. i mean, it speaks volumes that they were considered interchangeable enough to get the koopalings treatment and be billed collectively as "the hero." slime would have been a better depiction of dragon quest than the heroes, as well as a more unique character to play as. as usual, the obsession with "main characters only" makes smash a less interesting game than it could be.
Terry and a Goemon skin in the same reveal. Sakurai is beyond based
Jaxon Ortiz
Objectively, rosterfags only tolerate most of the roster because they grew up with them in Smash anyway They only like newcomers now if they can overreact to their inclusion and post it on youtube
I mean at this point it's a given that every character added to Smash is gonna disappoint at least one demographic who's not familiar with the character in question: It's been a long fucking time since we ran out of Marios, Pikachus, hell even Pac-Mans. This is also a result of conflicts between newer demographic: Waluigi was way less controversial even at times where there were arguably actual Mario characters to add, because the Smash Demographic hadn't really branched out from a bunch of Nintendo players, and even that is kinda loose: Your average Smash fan is still WAY CLOSER to just a guy playing 2 or 3 key franchises and being content with just them than a full blown Vidya Enthusiast, seeking out every genre out there.
Brody James
>if it tapered off and piratically vanished, its literally getting a new game next year. it's massively popular in other countries other than the US. KoF is one of the first big crossover games, and was a direct inspiration for Smash. go suck a cock.
>how did we get to a point where videogame eunthusiast don't know shit about this guy &/or outright deny his popularity/history and not realize for a single second how important he was. All the art of him together with that undermeme character is absolutely repulsive.
>What did Fatal Fury/KoF do that wasn't already done by things like Street Fighter or Mortal Kombat? Supers Rolls Taunts Crossovers Teams And that's just of the top of my head. Darkstalkers also added lots of things to the genre that other games take credit for.
Michael Sanchez
He hasn't been relevant for a decade, user, and even then his games were always a second choice to Street fighter and MK.
Henry Powell
ITT:reasons why the FGC laughs at smashfags. Ya'll salty as fuck about the series that quite literally inspired smash to be a thing getting a rep.

I'm indifferent. Don't really know much about SNK but I know it had an influence on Sakurai and at least it's not some waifushit. Probably won't buy him but I'm not mad.

It's just burgers, waifufags, and newfags. Nintendofags don't have an excuse since the series had many mentions in the industry
Isaac Campbell
I haven't seen a single person who was "upset" about this inclusion outside of Yea Forums. Stop being dramatic.
Most of the retards here probably started playing games after 2015, what else would you expect from them?
Justin Richardson
Burgers are the biggest demographic for Smash Bros in terms of sheer numbers You're basically admitting to disappointment being the majority
Mason Cruz
Fatal Fury is the actual Street Fighter 2. KOF then iterated upon SF's formula and basically invented the tag fighter.
It's a big fucking deal.
Evan Cook
>Implying Fuck off memester. We were robbed by not getting Jack Frost and Slime.
Carson Gray
Just a guess but I think KoF XII/XIII probably hit them hard. XII had the lowest roster ever in the series due to how fucking insane they were about the spritework. >Kukino addeds that each character took between sixteen and seventeen months to be done by 10 designers together along with Nona, who revised them.
Oliver Davis

Ryan Bell

Jordan Jenkins

Dominic Bennett

Ian Jenkins
You're beyond overestimating smashfags if you think they know or even care about the history of fighting games. Reminder that these were the people who complained that Ryu had input moves. Fighting games just aren't a part of their world.
the thing is that KoF, unlike say Street Fighter, never sacrifices the quality of the game itself. The fanbase may be a bit small, but it's extremely attached. I recall that AnimEVO top 8 was streamed by Canal 5's stream and youtube channel. The literal open channel television here in mexico.. The one thing keeping SNK afloat is the undying quality of its content. Quality that has multiple times been its own downfall.
SNK is a clear example of why modern companies sacrifice quality in their titles for broader audiences and marketing. It speaks volume of the current state of affairs when as a company bloody Arc System Works is better off economically than fucking SNK.
Luis Jenkins
>We got robbed by getting one of several blank slate protagonists serving as yet more anime sword boys instead of the actual mascots bringing something unique to the table. Fuck you.

Thomas Price
He has such high standards that a costume of him was included in Minecraft. /s
I usually never post on Yea Forums altogether but i saw so many people in my circle bitching about it that i wanted to know what the overall consensus on it was. Yea Forums might be an origin point but i can 100% tell you that most people are chimping out about it no matter where they came from.
Justin Torres
I 2D fighters and Smash and I can tell you: Ryu's inputs in smash are fucking awful. When you play on a fight stick or even on a pad you have multiple buttons to do the moves that you want. In Smash you only have the fucking A button and in the case of Ryu and Ken everythig: Low and mediums normals, command inputs, and special moves all go the fucking A button (using B specials have lower damage and kill potential). It's inconsistent as all fucks.
Eli Martinez
Terry's just a very old meme at this point, trying to play him up as some major fighting game character is revisionist history. He's not even a major part of KoF, and most definitely not the headliner of even a single one of them. It's like arguing Wario's as big as Mario, Peach, or Bowser because he's in the same umbrella.
Elijah Hernandez
Probably blown out of proportion. My guess is Smash players, despite wanting it to be classified as a fighting game, have little knowledge of that scene's history and live in their own bubble. That one pro Melee player (mad from no more EVO mainstage) was mocking SamSho like it was a game nobody had ever heard of. There isn't a lot of cross-over between Smash players and fighting games. SNK isn't big in certain areas either and Smash players are probably on the younger side.
Shit happens with everything. Even on this board I've autistically corrected people that were obviously spouting nonsense/too young to know the industry's history. I don't get pissed, sometimes you just weren't around and don't know these things. Terry being added is fucking awesome though and I can't wait to try him out.
>i am having second thoughts on the character i want cause people will be mad Wtf
Cameron Bell
I've played KoF games but I'm not going to pretend it's not hugely irrelevant in the grand scheme of things. And even ignoring that, I would NEVER have considered Terry as being the face of it. He gets a modicum of popularity for looking stereotypically American and that's about the extent of it. It'd be like if Guile was in instead of Ryu.
Nicholas Reed

While it isn't KoF, Samsho introduced parries. Also, Fatal Fury and KoF were originally directed by members of the SF team who left Capcom.

People talk it's about Smashfags, or zoomers, or what have you, but the reality is that the only ones that seethe at Terry are filthy Americans. Japan likes him, Latinos absolutely ADORE him, and Americans are whiny crybabies as usual.
Chase Sanchez
Terry is the face of Fatal Fury you fucking moron
Robert Myers
They really don't I took care of a Nintendo centered chat for a long while and on ocasion i'd throw in fightan content to be seen by all because I was in the mood for it. Usually there was just this one person who responded and we had a short discussion about shit like SNK Bosses and things of the kind, on a site that gathers hundreds of people. It really doesn't speak to many people in the Nintendo Community at least. I don't know elsewhere.

I'm an old burger but my friends and I played a ton of SNK stuff growing up. Fatal Fury was what got me into fighters. Capcom Vs SNK was a dream game for many people I knew back then.

I've known about Fatal Fury and Terry since at least 1994. I've played several KoF games in the arcades of various cities I've lived in, including and especially when I lived in Las Vegas for several years. I've seen him or something FF/KoF-related around the internet for years upon years. And I'm a white American who's never left the country. It makes me puzzled how so few non-Japanese/Latin American/Asian gamers, especially the self-proclaimed hardcore ones, know nothing about Terry or his franchises. I love that he's in Smash, I love how he looks, his voice, and I can't wait to see his moveset and playstyle and what his stage will be like, especially all the cameos.
All this talk made me download some SNK games and kof xlll is pretty fucking good,looks great feels good it's just much harder to learn than sf damn, I've also picked up fightcade and shitton of roms, got finessed by some Brazilians online as soon as I tried going online
Smash is only a "fighting game" when it's convenient for its fans.
Christopher Rivera
So you're just gonna keep ignoring since you got blown the fuck out, right?
Slime isn't a Bandana Dee or a Goomba. He's an actual character with an entire trilogy under his belt.
Jackson Reyes
>Hoes mad about his announcement >drones defending him acting like he's a big shot. >people claiming he is a literal who >then there's me >Great, another character with a fighting game moveset mapped to smash controls
You guys are mad about the wrong thing, how much you wanna bet most people will drop him once they realize that he's basically his KoF version with light punches and kicks, but without the ability to map all of the different punches and kicks, leading to the shitshow that currently is ken and ryu where their meta develops horrendously slow.
That's the real problem...
Elijah Lee

Erdrickfags deserves death.
David Young
The first time around they simply weren't doing too well and got bought out by a korean company, Eolith or whatever, which turned them into SNK Playmore. Playmore fucked around, tried to reinvent the brands but didn't do too hot by the fans besides 2002/UM, and when XII and XIII came around they absolutely blew all their budget on games that sold like absolute shit. So they got bought out by a different korean, this time some rich billionaire guy that is trying to revive SNK for the sake of it because he's a turbo fanboy.
Erdrick is based. Sansfags and JewTubers deserve super death for disrespecting SNK.

Terry doesn't have a counter move, no. Power Wave, Burn Knuckle, Rising Tackle, Power Dunk, and Crack Shoot are his most likely specials, but where each assigned is anybody's guess. I can't imagine there being Power Wave in the air, it's a fireball where he punches the ground and sends a wave of fire at the oppoint. It might just be replaced with Power Dunk like how Donkey Kong's aerial ground slap works.

DQIII's Hero is a very popular and important character as the first two games in the series were hyping him up.
Eli Sullivan
The hype got to me and I tried pic related for the first time last night. WTF bros why didn't this series get bigger no one told me it was this fun. I played KoF a little bit before but this is much more enjoyable.

Grayson Wright
Not surprising as the rosterfag threads are proof that Smashfags are too stupid to understand the concept of reading comprehension. You only called him the "DQIII Erdrick" after I had spoiled a bit of DQXI's fanservice from the post-game. Yet, I'm the "fake fan?" At least the Erdricks have a higher chance at returning for the next game than Banjo does.
Austin Allen
>There are a dozen more popular fighting games than KOF/FF now >Fighting games in general are niche >Terry isn't even the clear choice for a rep the same way a character like Ryu is >He isn't seen as being a retro or legacy character by most people
I think it's pretty easy to figure out why people would be confused by his inclusion. And even though he's possibly the only other character I'll get from this pack other than Banjo, he still wouldn't be my first choice for an SNK character.
Nolan Nguyen
Terry has been the ultimate pleb filter when it comes about knowing an IP before Smash represented them. How do you play fighting games without not knowing what fatal fury or KoF is?
I'm 21 uni student and I've played kof,I'm also not Latino

In an SNK fan, but let’s be honest: SNK a fell off for a while. They’re coming back now—after Chinese investors saved them from Pachinko hell—but they were largely irrelevant for quite some time.
I’m glad Samurai Shodown is doing well, and I think KOF XV will likely be poised for success. Having Terry in Smash can’t hurt either.
Daniel Lopez
Read through the comment chain, faggot. He didn't call him "DQIII Erdrick." All I've said is that "The Luminary is Erdrick," only for a bunch of Smashtards to seethe and shit their beds. I'm not surprised to see that Smashfags have such poor temperament because this was never common in pre-Smash DQ threads.
Andrew Nelson
No. Burn Knuckle always has that animation. It might give him super armor if they want to go with something like that, but it shouldn't work on a counter basis. Marth's attack also didn't even look like it was in range. Shield Breaker doesn't go THAT far.
Hunter Roberts

Rising Tackle is also likely going to be his Up Smash, since that would kind of match how the move would be performed in his own games as 2 8. But then if Power Dunk is aerial B, what the heck would his recovery be? He doesn't really have any going into the air moves aside from Rising Tackle.
Nolan Murphy
Nintendo does still like video games despite being a corporation. It's been said people in Nintendo have asked for characters to be in Miyamoto wanted Pac Man in for example so I just picture a bunch of execs going "Man, wouldn't it be great if we got these guys in the game?" while still keeping it within the realm of profitability. Terry is just a great decision, even if there's people out there who have no idea about how historical and important SNK has been to the industry.
Why do you think millions of people have watched it?

Elijah Bennett
Honestly my problem with the Smash community doesn't have to do with not knowing picks like Luminary and Terry but it mostly has to do with how they fucking seethe over the fact some "Literal who" got in the game. Fuck off with your spoiled ass. I wanted pic related but you don't see me shitting on DQ fans for getting their pick (In fact Lum is my main now I'm looking into getting the series). Get a backbone and wait for your fucking puppet and waifu pick without acting like a complete tard.
>Real DQ fans could never want Slime over Loto! They must HATE Loto! When the fuck did I say this? >Everyone who calls me out is just a Smashfag! You're treating Erdrick as the name of a character rather than a title which is something that a Smashfag would do. So yes, you are a Smashfag. >I'm too stupid to understand 11 so Loto and the Luminary are the same person!!! I've never called them the same person. In fact, I even said, "You're the one who's spouting 'Erdrick' as if it were the name of the character " in . Fact is that, that the Luminary gains the title of Erdrick. Therefore, there is nothing wrong with saying "The Luminary is Erdrick." In which is what sparked this Luminary/Erdrick discussion, user never made the distinction between Erdrick and Luminary even though these are both titles that can be used to refer to the DQ11 Hero. If Smashfags played the DQ games, then they would realize how stupid that statement sounds. But keep making shit up, Smashfag, because I know you're mad over my superiority. As a matter of fact, anybody who isn't a Smashfag is better in life than you especially the KoF spics.

You're 22 and trying to argue how a character before your time is important to gaming? Well I am older than you and I am going to to tell you that Terry is NOT that important and did nothing for the industry. Only reason he is going to be in Smash is because he represents SNK.

Even though I want Hayabusa the whole "smash is supposed to represent all video games" meme has been taken too far. A game not being in Smash doesn't invalidate its legacy or existence in general so stop being so butthurt that nintendo fans have no idea who your non-nintendo character is

Feels fucking good to be me, I tell you what. I was set with Megaman and Snake but every reveal feels like a new birthday gift.
Let's not get crazy, Terry is awesome but Fatal Fury is pretty irrelevant, and King of Fighters hasn't even been the third most popular fighter in years.
He's awesome, he's great history and I'm glad he's in, but I don't think the confusion it's that unwarranted. As a bonus, everyone is in Smash at this point, nobody - literally nobody - could come up with a possible Smash character without someone coming up with some sort of argument for them not being relevant at this point.

Yeah.
Juan Jenkins
This seems like a good enough place to ask. Why's Terry got the "Fatal Fury" logo on his hat in all regions in Smash and his own games when the Japanese game and logo is "Garou Densetsu"? Is it cause he's the American guy? Is it like Castlevania where the international name is more popular? Any devs ever explain it?
"""""Rushed""""" isn't really the case. All 5 DLCs were planned from the start, Terry's development just started once they finished the three others. It wasn't due to an urgency. It was just Sakurai's based tastes in videogames.
Jordan Walker
>Still in development >We only got a incredibly small glimpse
KH fans are exactly like this. It's all drama all the time. If DQ gets popular the fans will be like Square fans.
We'll get threads about how X game is cringe and Y game is based and people will start acting like the individual heroes matter and argue about who is "best" and when someone says anything against the norm it'll be shitposting ur samefagging or whatever instead of user having different feelings. It would be awful.

Capcom vs. SNK 2 was the last time SNK fighting games were mainstream and that was nearly 20 years ago.

It is refreshing having more hunky muscle men in Smash. Ganondorf and Ike were lonely for so long until Smash 4 and Ultimate.
Dominic Morris
>and a dead cereal mascot for years Geno's a meme but you're retarded if you think banjo was "just a cereal mascot". Before Microsoft made one of their stupidest financial decisions ever he was shown almost in the same light as mario and link when talking about the 64.
Jack Wilson
The issue with SNK wasn't the quality, but they were barking up the wrong tree. When arcades outside of Japan died, SNK went into irrelevancy. Street Fighter also went quite for years but Capcom was making other games like Resident Evil and Devil May Cry which allowed SNK to come back. Now, compare SNK games to the Namco, Capcom or Arc Systems and they aren't the top of the quality.
The issue with KoF is that it was "just another Street Fighter." Ever wonder why Samurai Showdown got so much attention? How many samurai fighting games are there? None really. But the idea of "world warrior" type games, which as I understand it is what Fatal Fury/King of Fighters was, was more common. If you wanted that, you'd go to Street Fighter which had far more iconic characters. SNK was fine in the hayday of fighting games but it was a hot market at the time. Once the market got cold, they couldn't keep up. So you have a company who was in a dying market in a dying genre and never branched out. This is why people were confused with Terry because most people wont recognize them unless they were there at the time. In Smash's case, it's one of the problem about making it about video game history as most people don't care about the entire collection of video games from the beginning.
Lucas Bailey
what the fuck is even the difference between final fight and king of fighters At least I've heard of Ryu and Street Fighter before. This guy is less interesting than corrin or inceneror

Becuase now that their most wanted is in they feel entitled to say who characters deserves to be in and also think that Banjo is important/relevant when everyone pretty much agree Banjo is to this day fucking dead, it's what happend when you arent self aware.
Zachary Parker
>why do you think all the banjoposting suddenly became insanely vindictive towards all the steveposting, everyone is just in this pit of trying to throttle eachother because they're down there now This is the one thing I've never liked about the recent bout of shitposting. Ever since Ridley got in (and I very much wanted him, k.rool, and banjo) it's been this weird antagonism between "former never evers" and "No these guys are the real never evers". Sure there's just random shitposting about rosterfags but you should have seen the shit that people tried to make up after ridley and k.rool got in. Some rulefags even came up with the retardation of "You have to be a villain to get in" because of that dumb one-off comment Sakurai made. I'm not asking to stop aggressive shitposting, that'll never stop and a certain degree of that is almost kind of healthy, but it's been incredibly bizarre to see at least people claiming to be banjo/ridley/krool fans talking about how it was obvious they would get in and how everyone else is a never ever. I suppose, but it generally seems to be people who are just shitposting regardless instead of mostly people who wanted the characters and now shit on everyone else. Like all the art with isaac/geno/shantae/etc

Like, out of every character in the game the only one I can say I fully do not like being in the game is incineroar because I just really fucking hate most of the stuff surrounding his existence in the first place, but I don't think I've ever joined in shitpostng about them being irrelevant or whatever, even during the grinch leaks. I just wish Yea Forums was less autistic but that's never going to happen.

>Smash is big enought that it transends the genre
That's the most retarded shit i've read in this whole discussion ever since people got ass blasted after Terry's announce. How in the ever living fuck is that even a frickin argument. Ridiculous.
It transends the fighting game genre and now it's just a fighting game that sold really well. Just like league transends the MOBA genre and now it's just a really well known MOBA. Oh and what about COD, sold so well that it's not even a FPS anymore.
I'm fucking pissed Literally 2 female characters and one is a fucking dog, 3 if you count Splatoon but that's fucking 50% 50% And how many minorities? Fucking nothing How many white males? SEVEN. WHAT. THE. FUCK. This is fucking retarded. Fuck you sakurai. Resetera is supposed to always win bay bay, this isn't fucking fair
Brody Clark
I...what? Do you mean female characters in the game?
Sakurai doesn't give a shit about your diversity quotas.
Andrew Williams
Kazooie is a female too, you know?
Anthony Parker
The only thing more based then recognizing the neo-geo and giving it a rep... Would be recognizing the handheld pets of the 90's like tamagotchis.

>how did we get to a point where videogame eunthusiast don't know shit about this guy >this cool dude >the guy >very known face >I'm 22 OP why are you getting outraged at other people for something you're doing? That's called "hypocrisy".
Henry Campbell
I dunno. I never really played much Fatal Fury or King of Fighters, but I was at least aware those franchises existed and I knew some of the characters by name, Terry included. I don't get how so many people just don't even know who he is at all, to the point of having NEVER heard of him and referring to him as adult Red/Ken in a hat. I guess it's just shitflinging over how their favorite wasn't added this time.
Garou has a cool fully voiced backstory with original artwork. Check it out for all the backstories on these characters. youtube.com/watch?v=UU-3naxZheA
Ian Perez
No if it was his way we'd probably get Ryo complete with that hilariously retarded Zanretsuken hitbox
Jace Morales
>Overshadowed by a mii costume OH NO NO NO
Jayden Hill
I played a fuckton of Fatal Fury Wild Ambition as a kid but have always been shit-tier, I can't do combos in regular fighting games for shit. Do I need autism or is there a way to learn?
Fuck I remember the first time I emulated melee >Who is Marth,Roy,Mr game and Watch, and Ganondorf >Why THERE are two Marios,links a nd Pikachus? >Whoa, is that Mewtwo???? Damn, im only 17 and seeing Terry, BANJO, and Snake in the same series I plyed years ago make me a bit happy
Robert Diaz
>still pushing this stupidity Any character, including who you personally want in, would be overshadowed by Sans.
Jaxson Rodriguez
>all these SNKniggers upset that their games are actually niche Are you OK?
This is the best character on the pass by far but I'm not gonna be retarded and act like a DQ character wasn't long overdue. I don't know if smashfags notice this or not, but the characters that are the most fun are the ones who actually translate well from their original games to a fighting game. Like Belmonts, which is basically just like playing Harmony of Despair but in smash bros. I mean I love Persona 3-5 but Joker's hit and run while pressing side and down b over and over playstyle is wack as fuck. But that's what you usually get when you take characters where the developers have to take a ton of liberties to put them in a smash game.
user SNK's ACA ports were the first games in Switch
Jose Anderson
The funny this is that these fags complain about trophies yet they have little understanding of the history of the characters in Smash in general.
John Williams
enjoy your year long ban. even though it's sadly only going to be a week.
Aiden Rodriguez
>implying people want the trohpies back because they like reading They only want them back in because they're gone.
Juan James
Because faggots like Arlo who pretends he’s an olds fag only has nostalgia for Gen 6
Henry Gonzalez
Nah, there are a LOT of pretendo fans who think they like Nintendo but it’s just Mario and Zelda, the bias against RPG’s in particular is becoming noticeable.
Specifically faggots like Arlo
Dominic Gomez
This, fuck that meme character, true patricians play Goemon skin.
Gavin Mitchell
Your by wrong Except most of the people pretending he’s boring isn’t because he’s boring choice but because they don’t know who he is
Chase Hughes
Daily reminder that to this day FF Special still gets played in Japanese tourneys.
Jacob Carter
I wish this was case, %90 of these Zoomers don’t know who the fuck he is.
Colton Jenkins
Yes he does. Listen to the demo.
Josiah Clark
Thank you for this user.
Thomas Lee
>You're playing a "fighting game" Smash was made to make fighting games more accessible. That ALONE, as well as the fact that Smash is infinitely more successful than any other fighting game would suggest that FIGHTING GAMES ARE FUCKING NICHE.
James Hall
Yeah, investors are the ones you should worry about, but from what I've heard many of the actual staff in Nintendo are gamers.
Ryder Lopez
Why even Terry? is this just shilling for a new fatal fury game? Kyo/Iori are just way more popular than this cuck
Ryan Myers
>Final Fight He's from Fatal Fury. It's on his fucking hat. If they added a Final Fight character, it would be Mike Goddamn Haggar, Mayor of New York and whupper of ass.
>Kyo "I am the lead of KoF yet never tops character popularity" Kusanagi >Kyo "I am the protagonist but the story stops being about me after Orochi" Kusanagi >Kyo "I never get loaned as a guest fighter" Orochi
Liam Murphy
Because Terry is the most popular, even as they try to make Kyo the face of the series. The devs also like him the most and it's why they wanted to put him in Heroines anyway.
If anything, I bet it was Heroines that caught Nintendo's attention to the idea of putting an SNK character in and Sakurai decided on Terry just because. Though I wouldn't be shocked if Terry was who he played in that story about how he kicked that casuals ass and felt bad about it.
Henry Russell
No that's Ryo. He was specific with his Zanrestsuken.
