I don't understand why you're calling all of these other equivalences reductive when you yourself are arguing in favor of a viewpoint that reduces Ken and Terry into this "too similar" mindset. On top of this, the argument of "different artstyle" makes no sense to me because past the CVS series Ken and Terry haven't really shared an art style, especially recently.
Except it would make sense, because these come from Street Fighter. Saying Ryu's mechanics are representative of fighting games as a whole and nothing different can be done for a fighting game character in Smash is like saying no other platformer character should be different from Mario or no JRPG character should be different from Hero.
Again, another reductive response meant to insult people for having a dissenting opinion. What does it mean to stand in that middle ground to you? That I have to be excited about Terry? That people can't point out that there were other, more unique candidate they could have gone with? It just comes down to "I like this, your criticisms are invalid."
It feels like you aren't engaging with the content of what I'm saying. You're just jumping to one extreme.
CvS literally brought both series' artist to draw every character in both series' art style, even.
lol, case and point. No willingness to engage in an actual nuanced discussion.
those characters have vastly differing abilities. That being said, they do both kinda just punch and kick a lot as well. People complain about how unoriginal and boring sonic's moveset is all the time, so I'm not sure where you're coming from here. Terry doesn't have immense speed to mask it though, like Sonic does, however."MaRiO aNd SoNiC aRe BoTh cHaRacTerS FroM PlaTfOrm GaMeS, sO ThEy MuSt bE SiMiLaR"
Would be ****ing awesome if real.
I doubt Spider-Man would be a problem for licensing, Sony got permission to make a videogame and Capcom got trusted with him for MvC. Also are we still going with the whole 'Square Enix is stingy' shtick? Reality has shown that not to be the case.

Sure but that was, like, 18 years ago...
Don't confuse your post being longer with being more nuanced.
These are smash fans, what else do you expect?
Essentially getting 3 characters in one pack seems like a lot to expect. I honestly think Terry's just gonna have meter. Give me MAX mode, EX moves and supers please.
Again, not really a productive way to hold a discussion.
I understand what it is you're saying but it feels like it's coming from a misunderstanding of the character. Just because they're similar looking characters from the same genre doesn't somehow cheapen their inclusion. This idea that Terry and Ken are too similar just doesn't make sense to me because of that. It's like calling Ragna and Sol Badguy too similar despite them both being unique characters in their own right.
Oh its most likely just aterry with those things, like, 90%, but of its more that would be pretty nuts. A lot to do but Sakurai does.... push himself too much.
No. I just don't want development time and resources wasted on what is essentially Ken with a hat. At least Corrin was unique and came with a cute female barefoot version. Terry is lame.
Whether it cheapens their inclusion or not depends on your perspective. If you're a fan of Terry already, then maybe not. Maybe you are just excited to have Terry Bogard in Smash.
Yes. Anyone who doesn't think Terry Bigard is the most unique inclusion ever added to Smash, must have a secret ulterior motive.
Terry's addition will be as underwhelming as Corrin's
Corrin was actually a good addition though. He/she was just revealed at the wrong time.
... wait, why did you quote me there?
Apologies, was on mobile
This is dope af aha im genuinely happy for youyall know i had to do it to 'em, get hype.
c'mon don't play yourself like this
>not liking the barefoot dragon waifu
Considering how right theyve been on top of nintendo leaking snk on top of 2 ppl agreeing on it im like 99.9% sure its Terry
Leakers have been saying that it's him and he was always the clear SNK candidate anyway. That said though, a part of me is still hoping it could be Kyo.
bruh
Hat Goomba and Geno are lame as well. I just want at least one female character in the fighter pass.
Corrin ticks my boxes, but as a character they are an absolute disaster
thanks, i will say this, as huge a fan as I am of SNK (really only from playing cvs2 for a while in my life in arcades) to me it was sort of obvious we would get an snk rep and terry is a bit more commercial friendly and easily recognizable then lets say kyo or nakoruru. i would have been happier knowing we got either doomguy, ryu hayabusa, reimu, or nightmare from SC but im not gonna complain about extra content, period. i have faith he will be a great character and will play significantly different compared to lets say ryu and ken since alot of us can group them together since "2d fighters," which is understandable. i am still very excited to find out and await whoever 5th DLC could be, and if people aren't satisfied with these 5, I am almost certain there will be more DLC/another seasons pass or whatever its called, where we will be graced with more content. Not only is this game an absolute goldmine for nintendo and whoever else is in on it, it also building great relations im assuming between alot of companies and its a beautiful thing to behold.
