Yeah obviously not all rich people are bad, no duh.

That’s why I said rich ********. Not rich people, rich ********.
How do you define *******. What if you have a generous *****?

Not all rich people who built successful companies are greedy jerks bent on squeezing out every last penny from poor widows taking care of their three sick children.

Never liked this stereotype.
won't someone think of the rich people

It aired a couple of months after ADJL's debut in 2005 but on CN. It's like the same thing.
  • Asian-American teenager with the initials J.L, posses superpowers and battle supernatural evil
  • The annoying younger sibling of opposite gender with similar powers
  • Elderly grandparent as a mentor figure
  • Sidekick ancient talking dog of the same breed no less.
Exact same ****.
You think its an Antz/Bug's Life situation? Or a huge coincidence? If the shows debuted so close together, chances are they might've been developed without the other team even knowing. That said, I find the situation freaking hilarious.

Is anyone excited for Terry?

A matchup with him & Ken would be like Capcom vs. SNK all over again.
He's the first DLC character I'm REALLY excited for, and I've only played a couple SNK titles here and there. But Terry was my main dude in them.

I just Terry doesn’t end up like Ryu. Because I really can’t get the into Ryu.

Which I don’t mind because I don’t really care about him. But I like Terry, so I’d like to be able to use him.

Can we eat Jeff Bezos or would that be mean to the people he makes work like slaves?
socialism never took root in america because the poor do not think of themselves as an exploited underclass but temporarily embarrassed millionaires

Cant wait to see what songs and what stage comes with Terry
We already hear a little bit of his Fatal Fury 2 theme during the Direct. But I'm hoping his theme from Fatal Fury 3, BIG SHOT! is in.


Of course we're gonna need at least 1 version of Soy Sauce for Geese/A Kiss for Geese in the game too.

Jeff Bezos isn't even close to being the ideal role model for how a successful businessman should treat his employees, but I don't think it's fair to use him as the image for all rich people.

Think about doctors and surgeons who've started practices or opened their own clinic and became multi-millionaires. Yes, they're rich, but it took them over a decade of schooling, countless sleepless nights, and a lot of sacrifices to get to that point.

So people who earn their mass wealth because of their high achievement are fair game? Cause that's what the true high class is

Okay okay

Eat a very specific type of the rich
Again, how do we define who. Who should we eat? and where does the line end? A billionaire meat eater could be set up for the death penalty for eating meat, but the dude could be putting his riches ro helping others. Morality is a very tough thing to define.

Anyway, as fun as it is to dunk on rich people, this quote feels apt when talking about millionaires vs. billionaires:

We naturally put millionaires and billionaires in the same general class of person, but the only reason to do that is because the words are similar. Since these aren’t numbers we can actually visualize, it’s important to understand what a billion of something is. To travel a million inches, you’d have to travel from the Southern-most tip of Manhattan and go to the Bronx. To travel a billion inches, you’d have to fly from New York to Shanghai twice. A million seconds is a little over 11 days. A billion seconds is nearly 32 years. A million ounces is about the weight of a train car. A billion ounces is 4.5 Eiffel Towers. Use these to conceptualize what the difference between a millionaire and a billionaire is, and the absurd amount of wealth we’re talking about.
It is impossible to be a billionaire without massive exploitation and labor theft. That's capitalism for you.

I just want Geese Theme & those 2 songs to get in.

If they do, Terry is best addition ever.

Capitalism stans: "Socialism fails because people starve"
People with a minimum of 5 brain cells: "People are starving under capitalism too"
Capitalism stans: "SUCH IS THE PRICE OF FREEDOM" *cue bald eagles flying in the background*
