What the fuck happened

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?

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

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.

Neoragex stopped being shared.

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.

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.

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.

Why couldn't it have been Nakoruru or Mai Shiranui? People would have been more excited for one of these two.

Shut the fuck up, SNK spic.

doubt

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.

It should’ve been Rock.

Big Bogard cock

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.

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.

Would be if Sakurai had his way. We got Joker instead.

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.

People born after 1990 are shit, OP. That's all you need to know.

>Thinks FF/KoF has any history beyond being Not Street Fighter

Ryu and Doomguy are the only characters left I can honestly say I'm interested in.

this proves that you dont play anything that isnt nintendo. faggot only knows characters in smash and doesnt know who terry is.

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.

Terryfags need to leave.

Literal retard.

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.

Sorry buster, you got two more months of this, then a flood of Terry posts when he's released.
Are you okay?

super smash bros is gay lol

>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

sorry faggot

Banjo is shit, too. But at least there are people who actually knew who he was before getting into Smash.

a one of the most boring and generic designs in existence even japan people called it pokemon trainer with muscles XD

What did people even want aside from Terry?
Is it just Geno/Isaac/Sorafags?

Terry is cool, but I really wanted Kyo.

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.

V isn't soulless, but he's also not playable.

Yet there are how many Fire Emblem characters?

or iori

>smashfags
>videogame eunthusiast

You mean literally everyone? There wasn't a single fire emblem game released in the west when Melee came out.

If he gets a Garou alt, I won't ask Samurai for another damn thing ever.

Well, Smashfags hate Fire Emblem now so it all evens 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.

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.

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.

>casuals
>videogame eunthusiasts

Zoomers who have never been into an arcade.

i fucking wish we would get him. I also wish that people will be just as confused and mad when we get him.

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?

Too bad Terry isn't a character of a popular franchise or genre.

youtu.be/na9O13Ts4kI

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).

So that means he'd pick Demitri over Morrigan?

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.

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.

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.

Not knowing about FE back then was a lot more understandable than not knowing SNK. At least SNK has had a bunch of Engrish memes for years.

SNK died? Wot. SNK games have a huge following and have had major and popular releases in the last few years. Are you retarded?

Smashfags don't play videogames other than smash and Switch ports

The world of KoF players, of which less than 20 people exist.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Yea Forums has this weird quality where everyone prides themselves not not knowing things or people as if it makes them look high class.

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.

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.

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.

What butthurt? Travis is cool as fuck.

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.

GANBARE SO GANBARE

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.

It's about history you tard.

well fuck that. people want characters they like in the games they play

>Sakurai puts in Tumblrtale before Travis
Some good buddy he is.

>Yea Forums - zoomers

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

Hayabusa and Doomguy are good choices though

man, smash has become Sakurai's personal playground of his interests as a gamer

Just their American fanbase

>Ignored
I can hear the tears.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Attached: 1539967689024.png (240x240, 92K)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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'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.

Stop pretending that younger people don't know Terry, plenty of them do.

No it didn't, there wasn't an NRS game at EVO till 2011. MK isn't all that important to the history of fighters outside America.

Good thing he represents fatal fury then :^)

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.

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.

Smash is only a "fighting game" when it's convenient for its fans.

So you're just gonna keep ignoring

Slime isn't a Bandana Dee or a Goomba. He's an actual character with an entire trilogy under his belt.

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...

If Orochi got resurrected at the end of XIV, then Rugal should be alive somewhere. He's the one sending out cards in the Smash Ultimate character trailers.

The same is true for shitposters

Erdrickfags deserves death.

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.

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.

Thanks, I knew it was familiar. You're the best, user.

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.

>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

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.

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?

sure some people have played it, but you have to go out of your way. its not exactly a modern game. I'm 23 and I haven't.

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.

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.

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.

>Quote user literally typing "DQIII Erdrick"

Erdrickfags truly lives in a permanent state of constant seething.

I remember doing shit like this in MS Paint when I was 8 years old. This picture had to have been made by a child.

Crackshoot might be his forward smash, since then you can assign motion inputs to it sepeeate from Burn Knuckle.

>He will be the first character cut un smash 6
No, SNK has a great relationship with Nintendo and on top of that KoF was the game that inspired Sakurai to create smash. You are drunk if you think that he is gonna let go of the character that represents one of his favorite games.

Yet Smashfags throw a fit whenever EVO prioritizes other fighting games. If Smashfags didn't care, then get the fuck out of EVO.

lol why are you posting your unrelated sexual fantasies in a smash thread

Didn't EVO use to have mario kart tournaments and other weird shit?

>"LUMINARY AND LOTO ARE THE SAME PERSON!!!!11!!!1!"
Wow, you're actually fucking retarded.

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.

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.

I like Terry. I like SNK fighters. I like Terry more than Ken. I like SNK fighters more than Capcom fighters.

Nakoruru would have been a more interesting fighter. A Nintendo character would have better than more 3rd parties.

Yeah, he is only the main character of the game that made Sakurai create smash.
A literal nobody, should have been Steve or Tracer instead.

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.

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.

Smashfags don't play video games other than Smash.

You're backpedalling so hard it's fucking pathetic.
Here's my last (You). Please fuck off, Erdricknigger, and never step foot in an actual DQ thread.

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

He's definitely more relevant than Geno but Terry is pretty damn irrelevant.

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.

But I am literally jacking off to pokemon right now and love Terry

Underrated.

This is why I'm glad DQ isn't popular, the fanbase would quickly become KH tier insufferable.

Yeah.

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.

This is what I mean.

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.

Terry is a nice boy, how dare she.
That's what Iori would do.

I dont know who that is but he looks like an snk character and I'm a SFfag

They were like 4 Terryposters in the smash rosterfag Threads talking about how he would be cool and i seriously hope they are happy becuase they deserve it, fucking americans shit on everything while not being self aware they want a dead puppet and a dead cereal mascot for years

I can't wait for Geno to get in just to see the faggots trying to explain how Geno has a legacy or make something important besides being a fucking secondary character in a 20 years old rpg.

you retards are still pushing the "everyone loves FE but not Terry!" meme?

he loves kof and you would know this if you weren't an idiot. in what world does joker get in as a the atlus rep before jack fucking frost. the world where a 50 year old man is obsessed with role playing as a teenager in mediocre jrpg.

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.

>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.

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.

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

Eat a cock and play the game.

And yet there are 4 fire emblem characters that play exactly the fucking same. Ryu and Ken play differently. So will Terry but you wouldn’t know that because you’ve never played a proper fighting game in your life

Your argument means nothing when BANJOFAGS are the ones calling Terry literally whos 90s character

Why on earth would banjofags care about who gets in? They won, they got their character in.

How do you know they're the ones doing it? Yea Forums is filled with trolling fucknuggets who pretend to be other people solely to start shit, and why would people who got the character they wanted be upset at the next character coming in?

once a rosterfag, always a rosterfag. 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

holy shit I can hear it

banjo threads use to be really comfy, and then smash happened

Neo Geo successors didn't do so well and Arcades were dying so yeah

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.

>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

>all this post about KoF is dead for 20years
KoF is HUGE in china, the market Nintendo trying to enter. China loves it so much that they make decent 3DCG anime of it. And let's not forget the successful KoF mobage.

Man, I want me some nice ainu cun-

If you see someone proclaiming themselves a characterfag then shitting on other characters, that's your obvious clue that they're only shitposting.

You're really hurting your case

Damn hes BASED!!!

While that's likely, some people here are just actual diehard shitposters.
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.

>He's kept alive by rosterfagging

>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 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.

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.

>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.

Yeah, investors are the ones you should worry about, but from what I've heard many of the actual staff in Nintendo are gamers.

Why even Terry? is this just shilling for a new fatal fury game? Kyo/Iori are just way more popular than this cuck

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.

No that's Ryo. He was specific with his Zanrestsuken.
