Is this the worst DLC choice of all time?

Is this the worst DLC choice of all time?

KOF14 didn't even sell 400k copies worldwide, nobody gives a fuck about this literal who, dead boomer character.
If they wanted another FG rep then they should've chosen a Mortal Kombat or Tekken character.

i'm pretty glad terry is in, i've actually liked all the dlc characters so far

Attached: EEBvBPDWwAE6yJ9.jpg (680x472, 56K)

The fact that he's a "literal who" means that nintenbabies will just try to learn all they can about him, thus giving his series more popularity than it has in years, so it's more of a good business move if anything.
Also Sakurai played a lot of KoF back in the day so it's more of his personal pick.

SNK is a shitty dead company whos only good series was Metal Slug, but hipster boomers will deny this. Theres a reason KoF died.

This.
I feel like all the people defending his inclusion are just trying to do a nerd flex.
>"pffft you stupid zoomers, don't even know who Terry is! He's like totally iconic and stuff!!"

Tell us which character you really wanted in who got their slot stolen by Terry, my children.

Mexicans are the only people who care about him.

Personally i would've preferred Sans as an actual character, but assuming that this slot is meant for a classic fighting game character, literally anyone from Tekken, MK or even just another Street Fighter character would've been better.
Nobody knows who Terry is and nobody bought his recent games.

Wouldnt be surprised desu, Ninja Gaiden deserves it.

Continuously making the same threads to complain about this will surely rectify this situation OP. We'll likely have the same thread later on by you or the handful of other anons who lack any conceivable form of originality.

These niggas also freaked out for Hero when they haven't played a DQ game in their lifes, are you seriously basing your argument around people who make money from faking reactions?

I've wanted Terry in ever since Ryu made it on WiiU. I thought the fact that fighting game characters were an option now he and/or maybe a Tekken rep would be great. When the SNK leak dropped I was really rooting for either Terry or a Metal Slug character.

Play more video games and watch less Youtubers.

Sounds like you're just mad that your meme characters didn't get in

I really thought it’d be SamShos time to shine. Their cast integrates really well into Smash, along with Metal Slug

Geese would’ve been the choice FF character, though

Don't worry, the character slot #5 of the first pack will be much better.

Attached: phoenix.png (525x340, 154K)

I'd honestly take Terry over all the DLC so far minus Banjo. Joker, Hero and Plant were all shit choices.

Sans(or any Undertale rep)
Shadow
Geno
Master chief
Doomguy
Phoenix Wright
Monster Hunter
Crash
Waluigi
Eggman

Hes a good choice but you know KOF is a small time thing compared to the rest when the Sans Mii costume was legitimately talked about more than this. Terry deserves to be in though

Imagine being so upset that you make multiple threads bitching about Terry getting in over your literal who.

Never heard of him. I honestly didn’t know Cloud either tho

Go back to smashboards you disgusting tranny.

>Hero should have been in before Cloud.
Nah, Cloud is internationally popular. Dragon Quest is huge, but only in Japan.

*Corrins your path*

>still begging for characters who are ATs
>still begging for Waluigi
Anyone who is still demanding him after three games is beyond pathetic.

Well yeah of course I’ve heard of those series but I didn’t know any specific characters before Smash

>Dragon Quest is huge, but only in Japan
And guess where Smash is made, my child. Also don't shit on one of the two most fundamental RPGs of the gaming era.

lmao accurate AF
a fucking mii costume generated more hype than terry

Smash characters should only be determined by sales numbers! Next character better be from fortnite or we riot!

Who’s begging? I just think they would have been a better choice than what we got.

Why? Because you personally don't like Terry so you'd rather dumpster-dive for a character who only exists to fill out sprots game rosters?

>KoF died
Bruh I don’t even play KoF and it’s obviously still kicking

They're ALL advertisements, you whiny little pissbaby. I'm sure you'd be overjoyed at the paid DLC advertisement character you want to be in getting in, which only proves your hypocrisy.

KOF14 sold 340k copies world wide.

It's dead.

No no no you faggot it's dead and should stay forgotten fuck Sakurai for wasting a slot when he could have put in MY choices instead.

Ice Climbers and Duck Hunt haven't had games for thirty years, better remove them.

Yeah they shouldn't have been in the game.
Basically everyone thinks of Ice Climbers as a Smash character, not as an "Ice Climbers" character, they might as well have used Sakurai OCs on their slots.

>NOOOO I WANT MORE ANIMU SWORDMEN

Let's remove Captain Falcon as well, he hasn't had a game for twenty years and his last one sold horribly.

I’m actually glad Sakurai picks characters with legacy over whatever rosterfags beg for.

nobody wants a mks character, you complete asshat. gore shit is lame and cringy. only mutts and third world monkeys enjoy it

F-Zero was popular at the time of his inclusion and unlike KOF, there's actually a lot of people who would like another F-Zero game.
Nobody cares about KOF, the games sell below shovelware levels.

Just be honest.

You can tell smashfags never leave the house or use their brains when they try using console game sales as a measurement of popularity against a game built on the arcade scene. Especially when the scene is in Latin America and China (where you couldn't even buy consoles until recently)

i think the difference between sakurai and smashfags is hilarious, sakurai plays a shitton of games from tons of genres while smashfags don't know shit about video games besides what's immediately related with smash

Corrin is amazing and welcomed compared to this dead franchise mascot nobody who matters cares about.

Overshadowed by a meme. And guess what. Terry is in. Hahaha.

They just announced KoF XV last month or so. Pay attention.

Corrin is so shit the developers of three separate crossover games made them shit.

Did KoF die because the games were bad? I just played it casually with friends when I was a kid and I remember loving the design of the characters and the animations.

You are either lying, heavily sheltered or just delusional if you think there was even close to as much excitement for Terry as there even was for the fucking Piranha Plant.
Most people had no idea who he even was.

The games arent dead, plenty of people play them, its just that SNK doesnt have millions of dollars to pump into their game to advertise their own leauge (that nobody ever watches compared to real tournies so why fucking bother)

They tried to make their own consoles which didnt pan out very well.

So did sega.

>shit character design

What a fucking bait my lord

>There's nothing wrong with not knowing him

Uh huh

Because Minecraft is actually important to video games. Smash is supposed to be a celebration of gaming all-stars, but so far the DLC has squandered that (Outside of Joker, he's cool). Instead it's just a big fat fucking Nintendo circlejerk, and people actually want MORE first-parties even though they're already in the game! MUH MARIO SIDE CHARACTERS! MUH IRRELEVENT GAME BOY ADVANCE FIRE EMBLEM CLONES!

If it's dead, why did they announce KoF15 literally a month ago?

My final 2 characters that I really want are 2B and Edelgard.

2B would be so fucking good, guys, oh my god

SNK literally got revived by the Chinese just so they could make more fighting games (instead of pachinko) coz China loved them so much. That must be some big deal.

The same cannot be said of many other dead franchises in smash

>Smash is supposed to be a celebration of gaming all-stars
nobody thinks like that. you are deeply brain damaged.

Stop replying to a guy who wants ice climbers and duck hunt out too.

Because it's a cheap, shitty shovelware franchise made on a 5 dollar budget.

>Sakurai OC

You mean Kirby, Dedede, Meta Knight, Pit, Dark Pit, Palutena


>B-but Pit and Palu were made a billion years ago
Yet pit was basically a new design in Smash and Palu/Dark Pit are from Sakurais own game

Smashfags are literally fake video game fans that don't even care about most of the roster besides popularity contest circlejerking, in-between trying to prop up Smash as the most important game in the world and trying to herald it as some monument to video game history
They're spoiled, sheltered, genuinely entitled faggots that keep on crying and shitting their pants in autistic fury even thought they're actually getting more DLC to satiate their retarded rosterfagging
This is the same fanbase that goes "dehhhhhhhhhh literally who???" in between talking about how the likes of Geno and Isaac are so deserving for Smash and totally glancing over how a sizable portion of the roster is made up of characters that they only know because they grew up with them in Smash
There's nothing the fanbase hates more than characters that they can't overreact to on a livestream and upload it for a few shitty views and pandering to their requests only makes them even more agitated instead of satisfied
Also, I'm not even sure why Smashfags even get so worked up when people say Smash isn't a fighting game when they really don't care about what other people think most of the time

It sounds more like a side business anyway - it's literally their arcade machine turned into a console.

I own the game gear version of fatal fury. Half you bitches probably do not know what a game gear is.

Why is the character design shit? I find them more interesting than most SF chars, some may be a little over the top, but fighting games is the only genre where this is aceptable.

I wouldn't know about inputs because me and my friends were plebs who only played simple mode.

Maybe the word dead is not accurate. If it's still alive then it's REALLY low profile.

>cheap, shitty shovelware franchise
So it's a perfect fit for Smash

which slot did terry take

Yeah fuck off with that you consumer drone, i'm absolutely justified in being upset that a slot got wasted on a literal who when there's so many iconic characters and franchises that aren't represented yet.

Literally no one asked for this.

Fucking zoomers: The thread.

nigga they always use the more recent designs (and before you say Samus Returns, apparently the game was already planned before that)

Banjo was a nintendo character on the nintendo 64 and that's why nintendofags are obsessed with him. Joker doesn't have one and he happens to be the only good dlc character so far.

You don't actually care though

>Another ryu/ken

Great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think the worst part is that they don't even stop and think what would be fun moveset-wise. Terry has a perfect moveset for Smash but they entirely dismiss that while calling him a Ken clone. No they'd rather spam grenades as "Generic FPS Man". Shit speaks volumes how little they care about the actual fighting game aspect of Smash.

Don't listen to the fag. FF and KoF characters particularly during its twilight years are designed so well because they don't look like social rejects.

Compare Ryo to Ryu even - one isn't a hobo, has a job, has a girlfriend, and rides a motorcycle.

Learn what samefagging is you cuck.

Nobody asked for Terry except for 3 people on this Earth.

Isacc and the puppet although are choices I personally don’t want people have actually been begging for them for fucking years. The autistic screeching for those characters were high enough to warrant them to be included.

Terry didn’t have a sizable audience, he didn’t even show up on any fucking polls. Isacc and Geno we’re heavily requested among the smash fanbase.

Why the fuck would you appeal to like 3 people that asked for Terry instead of the overwhelming majority of genofags and issacfags?

Btw Ryo is supposed to be a Joke shoto but actually good, poking fun at Capcom. so thats why the names are so similar.

Also, Dan was made to poke fun at SNK

If popularity polls were everything we wouldn't get those guys either.

We would get Shrek, Goku, Iron Man and whatever appeals to most normies.

They think they only invented "a console", rather than an arcade machine that revolutionized the concept of "single machine - multiple games" that helped a lot of arcades at that time. That should say enough.

...Ryo was made without anything thinking on Capcom you dope. Same dude also made the first Street Fighter even, and the concepts you see on that game are in FF and AoF.

I hate to use the word Zoomer but if you don't know that Smash was basically built off of KoF mechanics like Shielding, Rolling, spotdodging, Running, you're a real fucking idiot

I'm surprised they didnt include Terry back in fucking Melee

Geno, Isaac, and Terry are all literal who characters
Geno and Isaac just have the benefit of nostalgiacucks thinking they're more important than they really are and getting a bandwagon for them, like the fact that Geno shows up at the top of European polls even though SMRPG is much smaller there

I want the game to be a celebration of gaming, but that would involve actually including relevant, important or popular characters, not literal whos that absolutely nobody wanted.

But you don't actually care about iconic characters
Once they get it you'll just forget about them and move on to the next

>it’s perfectly okay to appeal to the 3 people that asked instead of adding a character that has a higher fanbase resulting in more people buying said character
Fucking retard

That poll was also fake.
Yes, there were two fake polls that everyone keeps shoving down your throat.
Think about that before you pay any attention to polls.

His reaction to Cloud and Terry, and the guy who wanted Richter, were the only genuine reactions I've seen.

And I suppose those few fags who shouted NEO GEO.

You're lucky you even got Sans in any capacity, let alone some fucking music to go with it.

So?
If Sakurai and his teams were merely monkeys controlled by whatever whims the autistic fanbase come up with we'd be stuck with the worst roster ever.
Is it really so wrong of them to add in what they themselves would like to add in?
Fun fact: without Fatal Fury and KoF there would be no Smash.

Just like you boomers are gonna do with Terry? Nah im not retarded

I agree. So far they have all been fun to play and so I'm sure Terry will be also.

A shit ton of SNK games got ported to the Switch at the beginning of it's life cycle, including all Fatal fury games (including Garou) except Dominated Mind, all 3 Art of Fighting games and all main KoF games except 11, 12 and 13 (14 is not on the Switch but it was confirmed it's getting ported to both Switch and XBone)

Yes i do you retard, unlike people who are defending shitty literal whos that don't deserve their slots.
I think Banjo fucking sucks, but he clearly deserves to be in here, not just because he's iconic but also because a lot of people wanted him.

Nobody fucking wanted Terry, nobody buys his trashy shovelware games and nobody ever talked about him getting in before the announcement.
It's objectively a wasted slot.

>not literal whos that absolutely nobody wanted.
try getting your own opinion instead of being a hypebeast who only wants whatever has the most pages on smashboards.

you do realize all of them got ported to other consoles too right? Hamster's ACA NEO GEO project. All Neo Geo games were ported to the consoles. Steam for some odd reason didn't. The reason you didn't get KoF 11 onwards, NGBC, and Metal Slug 6 onwards was because they're not in Neo Geo platform anymore.

The fourth DLC slot

Why? He's a meme character of the highest order. What would he bring? What would he do? Why is his presence such a massive sticking point for you?

>Street Fighter
>iconic fighting game series, the face of the FGC since inception, cultural icon
>KoF
>last game couldnt outsell most indie titles
Literally the only reason anyone (read: mexico) even remembers them is because they were the only thing mexico could afford.

If we are talking about literal whos, Terry is more important than Geno and Isaac. He has a long history that had an actual impact on fighting games. Geno and Isaac showed up once in okay RPGs and that's all they did.

If they added Heihachi, this would be the greatest fighting game crossover.

You keep seething and screaming that you didn't get Reimu or Waluigi, I'll be here enjoying playing as the Hungry Wolf.

>he thinks KoF is the thing for Terry

>KOF14 didn't even sell 400k copies worldwide

So what? At least KOF is still getting games. Can't be said for Banjo & Kazooie.

I didn't know much about him at first (knew what game he was from and his name, that's about it) and didn't care, but after a little research I'm ok with him.

Turns out KOF literally invented the concept of crossover fighting games, which inspired Sakurai to change his game from weird generic setting to Nintendo all-stars. Multiple Smash mechanics were inspired by KOF. Terry is the main protag of the oldest series that KOF crosses over.

His inclusion honestly makes perfect sense if you care about vidya history and are not just a seething zoomer who wanted Minecraft shit or more Undertail cancer.

But you're a relevancyfag that hates literal who characters
By this end I assume you hate Duck Hunt, R.O.B., and Mr. Game and Watch

>Meme character

Thank you based Sakurai for not listening to retarded zoomers and their "polls".

Video game icons are a thing of the past. You can't have it be a celebration and then only include relevant characters. Not like Terry is irrelevant either by the way, you just don't know anything about what SNK is up to.

Think about it this way - gaming isn't made up of nothing but blockbuster titles. Look at Smash already - are F-Zero and Star Fox really on par with Mario and Pokemon? Of course not.

Smash represents the less popular along with the most popular. It isn't one or the other.

Street Fighter dropped out before KOF did, though.

Corrin is everything Terry isn't, and I hope you SNK fellators die horribly.

>No argument
Kill yourself shill

There are people who actually hate DH and ROB. Don't think anyone actually hates G&W though.

>meanwhile most FEfags think he's fucking shit
He's the second-most popular male in the franchise
Fucking smashfags thinking they're experts on any franchise just because it's in their game, fuck off

SNK is up to selling less than most shovelware and indiegames, i know that much.
It's a trash franchise that outlived its "glory" days and you're literally only defending it because you feel special for being familiar with it.

If you insist
My favorite fighting game is still CvS2 and the shotos are who I main in Ultimate, so I feel pretty great adding Terry alongside them

When are you fags gonna stop replying to people like OP? They're clearly either baiting or have their heads so far up their ass that no amount of reasoning will change their minds.

That's because he was in Melee first, and Melee is deemed as sacrosanct in the eyes of retarded Smashfags.

Maybe in time people can accept DH & R.O.B. but, for now they'll make people seethe eternally.

Why does Smash DLC have to be based around SOLELY popularity? Why not just cool characters for cool series, if that series just happens to not be as popular, you guys have seemed to form this imaginary quota that Smash DLC is JUST about popularity polls and or a popular series itself, it can be anything and if it's a DLC from a niche unpopular series than so be it, theres always a next character around the corner.

Tell us who you wanted in.

Terry is the face of an iconic console in video game history you absolute brainlet. Did you not watch his reveal at all?

And who did you personally want in that slot?

Well duh Corrin can't be Terry, he isn't a character with a long history in video games.

It's okay when they do it in order to push their narrative.

I only bring those up because Terryfags constantly talk about how important, popular or iconic he supposedly is, when in reality he's from a dead shovelware franchise.

Most Rosterfags don't give a shit about smash the game. They just wanna see their franchise validated.

That's why they get mad that Terry validates FF/KOF over their Nintendo franchises.

Nah, it's been for enough years now that one can safely say Minecraft has had a large impact in the industy. It's safely beyond fad status at this point, which is something you can't say for Fortnite.

>CvS3 never ever

Bonk

>Buffed Shiek with comeback mechanics and braindead counter

>Corrin is everything Terry isn't
Is this supposed to be a bad thing? Without SNK, there'd be no Corrin in Smash, or smash to begin with user. Like it or hate it, SNK is profitable to nintendo and this is one of the ways they want to show it. You can get mad all you want but Terry is by no means bad.

>Why does Smash DLC have to be based around SOLELY popularity?
Rosterfags are hype junkies that only care about what's trendy at the time; the more you pander to them, the angrier they get that the entire game doesn't bend over to them 100% of the time and give them literally every character they want

Everyone from

No they don't. They will however give money to the streamer who bought one to show off.

Oh they were definitely among Switch's earliest games, but mostly because of release date.

But that's wrong because sales doesn't equate to popularity when it's comes to arcade games. It's how many people have been exposed to it.

They should put in who we, the consumers who are buying their shit, demand. Nobody demanded half the garbage picks in Ultimate and plenty of people wanted a lot of the old garbage tossed out. Why you people worship blatant advertising and shilling for dead companies and dead games is beyond any form of comprehension.

I think we could've gotten better but you forget the Plant and Inceniroar exist.

Yeah and considering that nobody knew who Terry was when he was announced and that he literally got outhyped by a Mii outfit, i'd dare to guess that his popularity there isn't too high either.
Nobody gives a fuck about arcades outside of third world countries anymore anyway.

Since when has being included in Smash been about sales?

user there's a reason in actual Japanese "polls" they're merely stated as "what characters are expected" rather than "fan favorites you want to see". Hypefags are (western) retards who want to feel validated.

Don't include Reimu among all those other memes please, thanks.

I'm glad you're only fishing for (You)s

There are arcade income rankings from 90s Japanese arcade magazines available online, and they show that through the 90s the SNK fighters were always near the top, among the same ranks as Street Fighter, Marvel, Tekken and Virtua Fighter.
netlaputa.ne.jp/~dummy/gamest/magazine/mest.html
[spoilers]Darkstalkers was also consistently among those same ranks.[/spoiler]

>ask relevant questions anyone would ask
>OMH YOU SHILL GO DIE REEEEEEE!!
So you have no reason for wanting Waluigi.

>They should put in who we, the consumers who are buying their shit, demand.
newsflash: autistic rosterfags are not the only people buying these games, nor are you even the majority.
the fact that you guys are still bitching after getting k.rool, ridley and banjo is proof that you will never be satisfied and sakurai should just ignore you faggots from now on.

>Why not just cool characters for cool series
Because Terry isn’t cool. All he does is punch fire or punch the ground and fire comes out of it. I like obscure picks like Game and Watch and duck hunt because their move sets are fun, Terry seems incredibly boring.

Incineroar is fun to play as though, rosterfag.

>he thinks Kyo is some big name

I need a timeline. Before this they were calling him cuck.

He's a clone from a ripoff series on a failed console who nobody knows or cares about.

They better after this shitshow.

It literally is, though?
What else would you call a franchise made on a tiny budget that is only profitable because it shits out frequent releases with low sales?
There's a reason games like Street Fighter are on number 5 now while King of Fighters is about to release number 15, despite selling like absolute shit.

>smashfags: Smash is part of the FGC
>also smashfags:WAAAAAAAH WHY IS THERE A FIGHTING GAME CHARACTER I WANTED ARCADE BUNNY

Terry is actually the best Ultimate DLC choice.

He wouldn't make any sense if Smash was a racing or TPS game instead, but as a fighting game Terry is easily the best pick since Ryu.

Either way, Corrin is a far worse pick than Terry. I don't know if you're a defensive Corrin main or simply a FE junkie, his is currently and will probably be the worst of all time. If you don't agree, fine that's on you. But I can guarantee 9 times out of 10, if you asked who was the worst addition of all time, it's be Corrin. Hands down.

thats literally the point

think of it

from realistic standpoint, less people knew about joker at his DLC reveal than terry bogard

Agreed. I don't particularily hate him or anything, just this whole scream and shout movement needs to be shut down. It's too bad Sakurai added fuel to the fire with Sans.

Because those three are just as shit, unknown, and irrelevant as Hat Ken.

If nobody cares, why is he in the game?

Such as each Street Fighter title's many different editions?
Tell me if you're baiting and I'll give it to you, you're getting me good.

If Sakurai's so bad, why do you care about Smash so much?

God I really wish there was a way to have a mandatory 18+ check before you were allowed to post here.

>What else would you call a franchise made on a tiny budget that is only profitable because it shits out frequent releases with low sales?
So that means these franchises are also shoverlware:
Metroid
Fire Emblem
Mother
F-Zero
Better remove those worthless pieces of shit from the game as well.

Because Sakurai favoritism. Same reason why there’s so much FE characters.

True but Sakurai just sees it as a mii on a costume. Faggots think otherwise and it's hilarious. It's why the whole thing is seen as a meme - because not one soul yelled GOEMON IN SMASH YEAAAH

Can someone tell me why Terry is boring when a lot of specials consist of rushing forward and dealing as much damage as you can?

I think Power Dunk will be fun to use in Smash.

Because Sakurai is a pathetic hack.

Not a meme pick, he legit has chances and deserves it. He's the ultimate ninja and was a NES hero alongside Simon, Mega Man and Mario, besides being a 3D hack n slash and fighting game character, also Koei Tecmo is close to Nintendo and doesn't have a rep yet. if SNK made it, they will too. There was a 'leaker' claiming he's in, but anyone with brain knows to don't take leaks seriously. So we are all just wishing.
He's sill in though.

Revisions are just patches before patching was a thing, not new games.
There's 5 main Street Fighter games, as well as some revisions and spin-offs.

Steve, Geno and Chorus kid.

Characters from games that are going and sell, like Tracer, Steve, and whoever the Fortnite central character is.

>There's a reason games like Street Fighter are on number 5

>Alpha doesn't count
>revisions when they are clear cut sequels

Say that to his face instead of hiding behind a keyboard fag. You wouldn't.

He's too fucking honest. Kyo and Iori are fucking scumbags. Love playin those cunts.

Joker will forever be the worst. His game isn't on Switch and never will be and they could've just represented SMT with any of the SMT heroes. Instead we get the popular meme pick cause NuPersona is popular with normies. Terry has video game history and SNK is an old and very based company.

>generic punch dude is "fun to play"
Lmao okay.

the real mistake was the ballot. that's what encouraged rosterfags to become as obnoxious and entitled as they are today.

Ah gotcha, just shelve away all the countless rereleases and the fact that SFV literally takes after Alpha 2's story, specifically Charlie's ending

Reimu, Minecrafter, and Doomguy

Kyo wasn't popular when first KOF came out.
KOF was like SNK Smash and he was just a random original character nobody knows.
It was Terry from Fatal Fury who made the franchise alive to this day.

thank god minecraft and fortnite don't actually have central characters so it horrificly diminishes their chances of getting characters

>generic punch dude
Can't wait to POWAH DANK and BARN NACKLE you online.

All irrelevant

Look at what you just described. That doesn't sound entertaining for a lot of people.

Plus, with this character, we know exactly what to expect even without seeing him in action. The other characters, we could speculate as to what they'd have. We all know Terry is going to have command inputs and a meter.

Yeah that shit was ridiculous, they should have outright called it a suggestion box because while they made it clear that it was a suggestion box the fact they referred to it as a ballot made retards go full retard.

KoF XIII was very successful, KoF XIV was widely regarded as a step back for the franchise so it didn't succeed.

Very true
And for those who say Smash is a apparently not a fighting game, why is it getting all these 1:1 ports of fighting characters?

Meant for

Nintendo picked the characters, and Sakurai makes them based off that list. If you think Sakurai makes this only for himself, you're dead wrong.

Each of them starred in million sellers. Donkey Kong Country sold around 9.8 million, Metroid 2.7 million, Banjo-Kazooie 3.4 million.

they shouldn't have done a suggestion box at all. they should have just continued adding the characters they want to add. rosterfags could seethe all they want, but they'd still buy it anyway.

No pick should be getting hat since it's already confirmed we are getting more DLC. Shitposters just want attention.

It was the 3rd most EVO entered game after Marvel and SF when it came out. Proceeded to be 6th most for the next two years.

KoF XIV was 9th when it came out and then forgotten.

anything other than geno, isaac and waluigi will get hate from rosterfags at this point. and if they get in, they'll just find some other arbitrary characters to obsess over while bashing everything else.

No i like swords and i don't actually have a problems with punch dudes, but i don't see how you can argue that Terry in particular was the "fun" choice when his moveset is very generic compared to a lot of other popular possible picks.
Imagine how sick Dante/Nero, Monster Hunter, Doomguy, Master Chief, Phoenix Wright, Steve, or many of the other popular requests could've been.
Instead we got a dude who punches stuff. I'm not saying he's necessarily gonna be unfun, but he's definitely very generic compared to many of the characters people actually wanted.

It'd be about time.

The literal only people who hate Ryu are zoomer rosterfags.
Boomer rosterfags will be happy with him because of what he means for the NG series, regardless of who they actually want in.
So just take some relief in that the only real hate are from faggots that have barely set foot in Yea Forums for less than a year and may as well be underage ban fodder.

I wasn't. There's a gray area between choosing a character who's popular everywhere and choosing a very popular character in one place. The roster would be very different if they only kept Japan in mind, having Cloud first is evidence of that.

You have to remember that Yea Forums hates le generic punch and kick movesets even though that's a large portion of the roster

Mario shares more moves with the shotos than Truck Ken

Sans would not have overshadowed those last 3, mainly because they'd break the final barrier for entry in Smash and literally anyone could get in. You're right about the video game characters though, all of those are terrible picks, bar maybe Steve

Is Terry even the main character? I've played a few KoF games but I've never given him a second thought. I don't even like Mai but she's pretty much the face of it.

Terry is an incredible pick because he’s everything a character like Joker isn’t. Terry is a celebration of SNK’s arcade roots and their history in the medium, Fatal Fury is where they came from. Joker is a skin deep advertisement for Atlus’ latest spinoff with no history in vidya outside of being the 5th entry in the Persona series (thought Atlus only wants you to think there were 3)
This alone makes Terry far from the worst DLC added to ultimate.

Nah, Sans is pretty much deadset for the next smash, but iconic, genre-defining characters like Doomguy deserve it more.

My most wanted pick is fucking Cooking Mama, so I honestly don't have a lot of room to judge on picks

Probably 3rd main character after Kyo and Iori.

>Sans as an actual full character
I unironically enjoyed Undertale and this would have been the worst possible idea. You'd then be left with either 2 choices for that, a meme character without any real signature moves because he has none like ROB and Wii Fit or a stupidly overpowered lore appropriate character who will make the game less fun than single player checkers.

i love coming into these threads, just to see two dozen replies calling the OP a frothing autist. take a hint and do a flip

It's hard to do worse than Joker. He's basically another anime swordsman but with a dagger instead. Plus he's just not fun to fight since he's rewarded for playing badly. If Terry is like Ken/Ryu and has command inputs, he'll at least require skill to use.

The “ballot” was for Ultimate, Bayonetta was planned to be in 4 way before the ballot was even announced

>Why did he choose the second worst choice he could've made then and not someone who specifically reps KOF?
He's not representing KOF. He's representing SNK. Besides, Kyo sucks.

Terry transcends that, he is the official SNK mascot. But importantly, he is the main character of Fatal Fury (dunno why people insist KoF when the trailer outright says it's Fatal Fury), which itself created King of Fighters as a spinoff that became popular.

He isn't the main character in KoF (that's Japan Team, specifically Kyo, because donut steels are main characters in crossovers), but he has never missed a year. A recent retelling called King of Fighters Destiny even tried to "join" the Fatal Fury and KoF timeline, making Terry also a protag.

>Mai
being used for porn bait != face of the franchise

Terry is the main character of Fatal Fury, the first SNK fighting game. He enters the KOF tournament in that game and wins. Later SNK made a KOF game with Fatal Fury, Art of FIghting and other older IPs. The main character of the KOF games is Kyo Kusanagi, an original character.

>Sans
Cringe. Your videogame version of Shrek memes will never be real fighter

Samefag here, but I just wish we could confidently say the same for Contra

He's incredibly boring as a character but his moveset is mad dope.

Daily reminder that Terry helps people irl (along with Nakoruru). This is SNK's Outreach program.

dante/nero would get screeched at as an "anime swordsman."
monster hunter's customization-heavy shtick wouldn't really translate to smash in a way that would be satisfying to play.
doomguy would be screeched at as "bootleg master chief" and vice versa if they weren't randomly part of the rosterfag circlejerk.
based on how mad people were at joker and hero's gimmicks, they'd really hate phoenix wright if his moveset was anything like mvc.
steve would probably be one of those characters that's fun to play as but obnoxious to play against.

So is goemon. And fuck sans.

I'm pretty sure that's intentional, he'll say something along the lines of how Fatal Fury's first game had the subtitle of The King of Fighters, then segue into that. At the very least the ties are still strong to the two franchises.

Nahw i think he could totally work as midrange type character like Samus and still be fairly lore appropriate.
His throws or one of his specials could use telekinesis, he'd have a (maybe chargeable) gaster blaster neutral-b, another special would be some bone attack, up-b recovery would be a teleport and the rest of his attacks would be fairly standard neutrals, maybe using bones?
Also he'd have to do DoT like that one attack from Joker.

I'm sure they'd do more creative things than this, but just off the top of my head i could see him working perfectly fine in a manner similar to this.

My only issue is that he'll likely have inputs like Ryu/Ken which are fucking awful to do in smash.

I couldn't even imagine the anal devastation if Ryo were there instead of Terry.

Monster Hunter already exists in MVC and the way they did her is pretty neat, i don't see why they wouldn't be able to do it similarly in Smash.

Just because you don't know a character doesn't mean they're shit and don't deserve to get in.

Attached: Screenshot_2019-09-06 (26) v - Be honest, you didn't know who the fuck he was or - Video Games (1143x1154, 314K)

Because after MvCI the MH people don't want the Hunter in any more crossovers. Hell they didn't want them in crossovers before MvCI, don't know why they changed their mind for that game in particular.

As much as I love Contra, I find hard to make some cases for it. I think Konami is already well represented in Smash and the Contra characters are more 'literal whos' in the sense of no backgrounds or personality. A Mii Gunner inspired outfit would be nice though.

Shit like this makes me wish there's a board dedicated for Smash so that all shit flinging and whatnot is contained in one spot similar to Pokemon.
Also, I hate Smash's fanbase (at least in the US) even more based on their reactions with Sans. I'm fine with him as a skin (since honestly, characters like him won't translate that well in Smash IMO) but hot damn they're retarded when handling with other characters. I'm 100% certain they don't even main or even tried a decent amount of time with the Mii shooter character.
I bet some of those people who prays to Sans every night just knew him via memes and barely played Undertale at all or the very least, didn't even try the Genocide route to actually fight him.

If someone they want was revealed instead of Terry, I bet they'll forget or give less attention to them because of Sans.

98 and 2002 (UM) but try out 96 and 2003
>97 has the best music
I'd love to agree but based on my experience with 97, I hate how the "music" is just environment noises until you fight a certain character which then is removed once they're beaten.
Speaking of which, isn't AoF the first one to popularize or introduced dashing?

funny how all the characters he mention early on in the post are NINTENDO characters

third party picks should be relevant characters, terry is not relevant and yes, fuck banjo as well, he should've been in melee and he's long past his time

It wasn't AOF, but Fatal fury had dodge and KOF incorporated it on sidestep then polished into roll that ton of games use today.

I also want him because DMC is an important franchise you absolute dumbass.

But the gif is a nice plus.

Don't know about quick dashes, but Samurai Shodown was the first one to introduce full running through the screen.

I like how Pranked Terry is probably more known than normal Terry.

DMC also created it's own sub-genre with many protagonists copying Dante's style (no pun intended) similar to FG characters copying Ryu after SFII shuck the FG genre.

The MH devs have said that because of the Hunter's extensive amount of customization, armor, and weapons, having them in a set appearance with a default single weapon or limited to certain weapons wouldn't represent the Hunter or the series. And after MvCI's failure they're even more leery of MH crossing over with anything besides having the monsters themselves in other games like Rathalos in FFXIV and Smash Ultimate.

If being trendy for a time is what makes a game important than Slender Man and Five Nights at Freddys are far more important meme games that deserve reps far more

Doomguy, but I wouldn’t really consider it stolen per se, and I’m not really against Terry’s inclusion. The only one who stole the slot was Joker since he literally stole the invitation

Hey, if people want Waluigi for that, then I can want whoever I want for it.

I really hope this is one of Terry's alt skins.

rock howard.

Smash exists because Sakurai fucked people up in KoF so he wanted a more casual game that other people could get into

I really doubt, if anything it going be Garou outfit, and maybe just maybe some MI aberration.Thanks Falcoon.

This. KoF is one of the most acclaimed and famous fighting series of all time. It's also much more popular in the east than the west. I don't even play the damn games, and even I know who Terry is. Geese is infamously one of the most unfair fighting game bosses of all time. Does everyone here just pretend to be interested in games? Does general gaming knowledge really fall off outside of a few blockbuster titles from the last 5 years?

Yes because true gamers go out of their way to learn about dead series.. fuck off you retard

I was feeling pleased with myself because I was winning, and it turned out to be a total beginner with their partner, just trying to have fun, and I thought, ‘Oh no, I shouldn’t have beaten them so badly.

What boggles me about people complaining about Terry is that characters like Lucas (who doesn't even have a proper US version on reveal), Captain Falcon, G&W, and R.O.B. exists. Hell, If I was Japanese, I'd say that K. Rool and Banjo are "literally who" tier.

And don't you motherfuckers tell me they're well known. I bet you didn't even saw or touched a G&W and/or R.O.B. before. Let's even go further, I bet you don't even know Mother 3 existed and played F-Zero to know Captain Falcon.

The fucking game itself is an advertisement for each characters' game.

>he is now resorting to consolewarfaggotry

It's weird seeing so many people on Yea Forums rage about Terry Bogard getting into smash. He was my 1st choice for Smash but I literally thought he was a "never ever," even though SNK is a major game company with a legacy of critically acclaimed and cult hits. I thought Metal Slug would be their ticket into Smash and I felt so lucky that Terry got in. I even thought that he would be excluded for being too mechanically similar to Ken and Ryu but I guess not.

I've been a huge Fatal Fury fan for awhile now and I owe SNK for getting me into fighting games as a genre so I couldn't be happier but damn it feels shitty that people don't know who he is. I just hope someone tries Garou or Real Bout Fatal Fury or a KOF game after seeing because there's so much those games have to offer.

Smash's roster is literally perfect to me now and anybody else that gets in is another cherry on top. If you don't want Terry in smash, I would hope that you give one of his games a chance, even if you're bad at fighting games. I'll even open lobbies in KOF XIV or something but I just want him and SNK to make a breakthrough.
