I'm surprised. I don't care.

KOF has had sporty characters. Not my cup of tea so I just don't play with them, I bet I can do the same this time.

Might be worth a read before dismissing it.

Why King Of Fighters Dominates Latin America's Fighting Game Scene

What’s the fighting game you remember the most from the arcades of your youth? Street Fighter II? Tekken? Mortal Kombat? If you’re from Latin America, there’s an excellent chance that the first game that jumps to mind wasn’t any of those, and the game that defined your formative arcade...

But how does Cristiano Ronaldo fit in here?

But how does Cristiano Ronaldo fit in here?

The love of soccer in those same countries?

You guys are crazy. Not buying a game just because of this? Lol it's a good marketing tactics it's all good. I'll still be playing as Terry.

I can understand. I have no time to play fighting anymore but I really like Garou so I was thinking to buy the game.
But already fictional guest characters are not my thing but real life personality that doesn't fit at all the universe is a big immersion breaking deal for me (And immersion is a big part of my love for videogames).

I'll for sure never play this character, but I might face it online and this is annoying for me.

I might still take the game (because it's Garou 2 and I love the first one) but much later on a second hand market or big price decrease.
But I really don't want to support or encourage a thing I don't like in videogame.

It's not even the real Ronaldo.

This is one of the only cases where a paid DLC is preferable than a character inserted in the base game

Fighting game fans: Tifa and Kiryu pls!

The industry: Here's Clive and Ronaldo.

 

[March Climber]

He looks like what I thought he was going to look like, a kick-version of Sean from SF3

I hope his character is at least fun to play with.

 

[Randall365]

If you select the fight location as the US, does he get arrested when he gets off the plane?

Ronaldo is popular, unlike Clive.

I definitely wasn't expecting a soccer player in a fighting game. Honestly, I don't really care for the idea of guest characters in fighting games because most of them imo seem like quick cash grabs and can even be immersion breaking, but this is REALLY weird and random especially in something like the Fatal Fury universe. With these fighting games and their obligatory guest characters, you don't even know what to expect anymore.

The GOAT.

Hands down.

Also for fucks sake its SSSIIIMMMMM(yes in portuguese) not siiuu or whatever shit people say

 

[Northeastmonk]

It's weird. I also had Shaq Fu on SNES. SNK made some awesome soccer games. I guess it makes sense. I wonder if he'll play the game or toss it in the dumpster. Actually, I wonder how much they paid him for his likeness.

 

[Liopleurodon]

I don't see any problem with that.

Here's the gameplay trailer if you want to add it OP Thick Thighs Save Lives



The model and animations are clearly a work in progress. Even the shading on it doesn't look quite complete yet compared to Terry's.

Cool. The character looks like a legacy KoF Sports Team member. Hopefully I can use Japanese voice for him too.
