Really hope the direct is this week and has DLC fighter 4 revealed.

Because man is this week or next going to be heated between with Nakoruru vs. Terry and Hayabusa.

God damn. I'm going in completely unaware of SNK games beyond Metal Slugs. This direct really is going to be interesting.

I know nothing about SNK or their games to be honest.
They got a lot of influential franchises, namely fighting games with Fatal Fury, King of Fighters, Samurai Shodown, Art of Fighting and some of the best Arcade animation with Metal Slug.

The two rumored characters, Nakaruru and Terry Bogard are really popular. Terry was their mascot of sorts until Kyo from King of Fighters became their main dude, but even then, Terry's popularity can't be understated.

I'm hoping for Terry, since of the few KoF and Fatal Fury games I've played, Terry's always been my main. He's cool as **** and has the BEST Engrish. Also some of the best lore of any fighting game protagonist.

That said, in recent crossovers, SNK's characters have been all over the place. Geese in Tekken, Mai in Dead or Alive, Haomaru in Soul Calibur and Terry in Fighting EX Layer. So if it WAS Nakaruru, it still wouldn't be that weird since they've used different characters per crossover in the last 3 or so years.

Gotta say, I was hoping that at least one other character besides Banjo would be western made. But beggars can't be choosers I guess. After the SNK character is revealed it will be the final say in what the last character (from Namco) will be.

Funny how after the Namco, Capcom, and Ryu debates we had, it ended up being the SnK character from the more overlooked leak that took the crown. Goes to show that even when we think we have the pattern, there are still those low key choices of Sakurai that can come in and surprise us.

Or would if Nintendo didn't leak it.

What other series besides Contra would you say?
Ghost n' Goblins is another one, it has a special place among the NES classics for its notorious difficulty and it still has an influence even today.

I'm actually in a situation where I'm hoping Mai Shiranui is in Smash.

September is off to a crazy start.

Goddamn

First Banjo and now Nakururu?

When will Sakurai stop with these generic Bird fighters?
First, they were too many Swordfighters.

Now, there is too many Birdfighters.

Absolutely Dededisgusting.

Because, generic anime character #10
Do you even play fighting games my dude? We don't even know for sure yet if it is her. It could be our hero Terrance.

We already have a character with a bird companion, and HE'S actually a good pick
Did you complain when Banjo-Kazooie got in when Duck Hunt did? This isn't like having a 5th Marth in the game. Not unless they REALLY ****ed up Nakaruru's moveset. Again, if it is even her.

Welp... so much for not leaking DLC #4 at all...

Anyway, don't know too much about SNK, but I'd be fine w/ Nakoruru, Terry or any other prominent character from KOF or SamSho.

I’ve never played SNK, and I’m not really interested, but they could be cool.

I bet Sakurai is ticked: now his own partners are screwing up and leaking his game early. Geez Nintendo.

I guess this means the starling hint was Nakoruru or something other than Smash.

OOOOOHHHH

I REMEMBER KING OF FIGHTERS

I played King of Fighters 94 on Wiiware with my brother and we laughed our asses off at the American football player and old Chinese alcoholic. That game was great. I hope we get Terry.

Please stop obsessing over me.
I do apologize again. I don't mean to come across the way you might think. Its really all just good fun and I get enthusiastic at times before realizing how inappropriate it might sound. It won't happen anymore.
