I'm just glad we know

"It's SNK"

That gives us enough to chew on until hopefully we get the Direct this week.

Yeah, we had our fun with the anything goes but this is the stick in the candy floss machine we need.

And SNK may not have as many massive names as Capcom for example but they've also not got one stand out character like how Mega Man and Ryu were Capcom's mascots basically.

It could be Terry, it could be Kyo, they could pull a Tekken 7 and make it one of the baddies like Rugal, they could be doing a promotional one for Samurai Showdown or Metal Slug.

Lot of possibilities.

 

[Guh-Huzzah!]

SNK treats both Terry and Nakoruru as mascots, which means we’re getting them as a tag team duo, like the Icies, dumb dumbs.

How much skin does Fire Emblem female Corrin have compared to Smash female Corrin may I ask?

The thighs.

And if we want to go to an extreme, Bayo was adjusted a lot too.

 

[ZephyrZ]

Bu-b-but Monk. Its still Smash. He's never wrong about Smash...

While I agree we should always looks at even credible leakers a skeptical eye, you are kind of sounding kind of like Grinch supporters / box deniers used to right now.

Besides thighs though. Mai has her cleavage and arms exposed. Doesn't compare at all.

I've been saying this since E3 but it's pretty obvious selling these characters to Japan is Nintendo's first priority.

I feel like Doom hopes are dead.

If anything they're selling the SNK character to Latin America and China. Not saying it's not popular in Japan because King of Fighters is popular in there as well. The series is just also notably popular in the regions I mentioned.

Well Verge has never been wrong as said. If he says it isn't an SNK rep, then that's that.

 

[Kirby Dragons]

SNK rep? Give me Athena Asamiya, or give me death.

Can confirm, a friend of mine who hails from Mexico is losing his **** about a SNK rep.

My point is they want to make sure the character appeals to Japan. Banjo is more popular outside of Japan, but he's still popular there as well.

If I were to assume that whatever Sabi said was real:
(Incoming long post)

It would very likely be Kyo. King of Fighters is a crossover title ala Smash where several of their series clash at each other, and despite Terry and Nakoruru appearing in KOF (Nakoruru only appeared in the most recent game KOF 14) they are almost always represented by their respective series being Fatal Fury and Samurai Showdown. It wouldn’t make sense to have Terry and use the KOF Franchise when he hails from Fatal Fury, for Sakurai or SNK.

Kyo, however, is the face of KOF and one of SNK’s most iconic characters. He first hails from the series, appeared in every title, and plays an important role in a majority of the series story arcs. The developers at one point considered having Kyo not appear during KOF 1999’s development, but they couldn’t because a lot of the feedback showed that Kyo is just such a staple character. Kyo is one of SNK’s most iconic characters, so it wouldn’t be a stretch to say that Kyo would be one of the first choices for an SNK rep.

Plus, Terry and many other notable SNK and KOF characters appeared in other fighting game titles, most notably Geese and Haohmaru from Bandai series Tekken and Soul Calibur. Interesting enough, Kyo hasn’t made a guest appearance yet so he would be a new guest character for SNK to crossover with.

Aside from that, Kyo has a lot of potential for a unique rekka combo moveset, where he can link several of normals and potential special moves together and cancel them using the MAX mechanic which has become a staple since KOF 1998. He has such a large number of special moves from his various appearances to pull from that can make him interesting and stand out.
—————————————————
If you can’t tell, I’m a pretty big KOF fan. Similar to my other top three most wanted, Kyo is actually another of my dream choices for Smash, and even if I don’t get my other three, man Kyo would be that character where I nearly couldn’t breath similar to Joker. My heart practically skipped a beat when I first saw that SNK trademark leak.

EDIT: Apparently Sabi deleted her KOF massage . Real or not though, I may as well use this to finally talk about Kyo.

If you take Mai boobs away thats like taking away sonic shoes or marios hat

Litrally the main and biggest appeal to her design gone

might as well just add any other ninja at that point

 

[Shroob]

Well Verge has never been wrong as said. If he says it isn't an SNK rep, then that's that.

Why are acting like Vergs even said anything when he hasn't.

as long as goose is a spirit or is somewhere in the game, please god be an alt color scheme, terry is ok

his failed engrish is always hilarious

Well look at this:

Haven’t seen this one before. But sure seems crazy if both the rumors going around are true.

Hm this one kind of feels more like another speculative post disguised as a leak. Linking songs instead of matter-of-factly stating their names sounds like something a fan of those series would do when trying to get other people on board.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think we've ever had a reveal trailer description properly leaked for a character, have we?

Its either that or no Mai at all. Fact.

I’m actually pretty interested in seeing him in action

Oh. From the way those posts were typed, it looked more like you were making fun of Verge supporters.

So that's the Minecraft content.

 

[Guybrush20X6]

My dark horse pick for this race is Athena Asymia from Psycho Soldier, King of Fighter's China team (despite being a Japanese schoolgirl?) and Awakening from the Ordinary Life.

First character in gaming to get an in game vocal theme. And probably closest we'd get to Hatune Miku.

 

[Cosmic77]

On a lighter note, this got a laugh out of me. They got him good.

There was a problem fetching the tweet

 

[SnakeFighter64]

SNK has some of the best sprite animations and sprite work in general in the industry

It fascinates me how smash fans can just ignore all these amazing games with of ton blood and sweat put into them with a simple

"EW THIS ISNT CRASH BANDICOOT WTF SNK IS IRRELAVANT"

Shows how much these people have no care in the world for anything the industry offers to them


garbage

As much as I want it to be Crash. I can’t know an SNK choice one tiny bit.

Plus, who knows. My endless Namco stanning might be fruitless and Crash could be the final pack.

As I have said numerous times before. No character is truly a bad choice. After the Banjo v Steve Wars, I found this to be a much healthier way to engage with this game.

Just think of all the alts. we could get with her.

I LEFT FOR A COUPLE DAYS TO BE WITH FAMILY AND I COME BACK TO SEE THAT WE'RE APPARENTLY GETTING AN SNK REP?!

WHY DOES THE CRAZY STUFF ALWAYS HAPPEN WHEN I'M GONE?!

This is fresh news for me. GIVE ME THE DEETS NOW!

 

[Mega Bidoof]

If Character 4 does end up being an SNK fighting game character, I’m drawing whoever it is throwing Heihachi off a cliff.

Heihachi Mishima...

...is dead.

KOF 2000 is my personal favorite but if they have the defualt sailor look and the classic 94 I'd be happy/

Shell Shock is a military based term... makes it sound like Marco from Metal Slug

Though my intuition is saying Nakoruru

This is fresh news for me. Give me the deets now!

Nintendo put up a page for challenger pack 4 that had SNK listed as it's only copyright, similar to how Banjo and Hero only list their respective companies copyrights. Page got taken down a few hours later.
Right now we're just arguing on whether it's Nakoruru, Terry or Kyo.
