The Story Behind the DJ

What the hell is going on at SNK? Clearly rings of Saudi influence. With Tekken 8's recent patch that destroyed what little goodwill it had left with its competitive community, and now Fatal Fury with another dumb guest character its seems like modern fighting games are out of touch with their own communities.

 

[Giallo Corsa]

lol, lmao even

 

[kanjobazooie]

Who the fuck is this?

 

[The Gamer Triple H]

Damn beat me to it. At first I was not gonna post anything about it because I thought it was a joke. Saudi's clearly pushing their influence here.

 

[Futaleufu]

That super is funny

 

[Dr Cowley]

Who the fuck is this?

This guy



Was Akuma busy??? SNK are going mental for guest fighters

 

[SkylineRKR]

The guest characters are ruining this game.

People take videogames too seriously

 

[Hookshot]

It's finally happened, a "celebrity" that I have no knowledge of has become big enough for a crossover into something I do know of.

 

[The Gamer Triple H]

To think I was excited for this game last year. Everything about this looks so stupid, and the animations are janky. What the hell are they doing? Imagine getting this character over someone like Blue Mary. Hell give me Duck King over this loser.

 

[SkylineRKR]

People take videogames too seriously

It was a potential purchase, and the way its being headed looks stupid to me. I don't really see much characters I like in this game and I wasn't sold on the beta either. I won't buy it for now.

 

[Pedro Motta]

 

[Diatribe1974]

I love his music, but his move set is bland as hell and he moves very stiffly.

 

[realcool]

 

[Blank Space Invader]

The first guest character turned me off, but this seals the deal. I was really looking forward to this game as a day one purchase. Now it's a hard pass, even if they offer it free on PS Plus.

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

I already wasn't buying it after the Ronaldo nonsense, so this is just funny to me now.

This is what you get when you work with the Saudis.

 

[March Climber]

The guest characters are ruining this game.

I don't mind odd guest characters. My problem is the same as Maximillian's problems with Ronaldo and now this new guest character: These characters' animations are very, very muted and too 'mocapped' looking.

It stands out even moreso with DJ Salvatore, who's movements are way too grounded in reality next to things like this:

Since the game is still in development, I'm hoping they can tweak the animations a bit more to make them more expressive and over the top like the rest of the cast. Or else this will feel like 2 Mortal Kombat characters were put into the game.

 

[Bruno_Arrais85]

is this a joke or what

 

[Hookshot]

I already wasn't buying it after the Ronaldo nonsense, so this is just funny to me now.

Wait until they add the crown prince and every button makes you bow to him until the time runs out and he wins.

Once again, I got nothing against Saudis (government is one thing), but the management or forcing these guys as guests is incredibly off putting.

Guest music is one thing, but multiple guest music, a guest DJ, a guest footballer, like who is this actually for? It never long term appeals to the stars'respective fans. It's a fleeting moment. That's literally it.

It doesn't help these are celebs your average FGC fan probably won't like. So it's such a misguided use of money and management.

if Saudi really wanted to do something, get a new sick Arab character in there like Rashid from SF. Get a dope story going set in the middle east. Or a trending WWE wrestler. But ideally just keept it gaming/manga at the early stage.

as it stands, this game is bargain bin, if that and mostly because of the weird choice of guests.

But then Namco also had dumb stuff like Negan, so maybe we are just stupid ourselves?

 

[The Pleasure]

Next guest character is Ass of Can Whooping and his console Warrior trolling gives him a unique ability to fight.

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

Wait until they add the crown prince and every button makes you bow to him until the time runs out and he wins.

Perhaps his finishing move involves beheading an American journalist? J/k that totally never happened nothing bad happens there.

 

[TonberrysKnife]

Who's this fucking rando in Fatal Fury??? What is this shit???

 

[Ozriel]

Looks terrible.

 

[Werewolf Jones]

People have died waiting for Garou 2. I'm glad they never got to witness this.

Fatal Fury City: of Wolves

 

[Icymanipulator]

Never heard of this guy.

 

[NeverYouMind]

Bamco: Bet you can't add a guest as cringe as Clive Rosfield to a fighting game.
SNK: Hold my beer...

 

[Bruno_Arrais85]

Yeah good luck with this game.

[anthony2690]

I was genuinely so hyped after the last beta, but this kinda deflated that hype a lot.



If they made like a brand new fighter and this was an alt skin instead, I'd be okay I guess, but this looks absolutely horrific in every aspect, animation/movement wise etc. I don't even know who this person is









Terry is mad fun though.

 

[Insolent]

Ugly shit
Fuck you snk

 

[demigod]

This game went from Preorder to $10 bargain bin. Goodjob asshats

Who??

 

[TheDuskwalker]

I see why the season 1 character pass is free.

 

[GymWolf]

 

[TVexperto]

Saw him at tomorrowland pre covid, he is funny as fuck, he was standing next to me in the crowd while he was supposed to be playing at mainstage, then he ran to mainstage, i think they banned him from playing after that there

 

[Business]

 

[Giallo Corsa]

Dude's trying way too hard in doing an Aphex Twin impersonation in all of its weirdness and "quirkiness".

...having said that, he's not exactly terrible, I was expecting some truly horrible, end of the barell Euro trance/Eurodance shit (Darude, Eiffel 65 etc) but, both the techno track and the house one linked in this thread are actually listenable...

 

[Spukc]

this aint SNK this is fucking trash haha

 

[Prekk]

SNK really has been dead for 20+ years now.
There was a glimmer of hope with KOF13 but it's been complete trash since then.

It's time to let go.

 

[tamago84]

Lmao they gonna put in mr beast and instgram influencers next

 

[cireza]

WTF is this trash ?

 

[SupaComputa]

Bad collabs and guest characters + super aggro casino gameplay have turned me off fighting games for a while. Hopefully SF6 season 3 has some good changes.

I really want to buy SNK games, but somehow they keep messing up, bad online, bad matchmaking, epic store exclusivity, whatever this is.
