Is it fair to say that SNK has completely jumped the shark?  If using the long awaited sequel to one of their most beloved games of all time as a platform to flaunt Saudi celebrity connections doesn't qualify, I'm not sure what does.
Hell, peeps are boycotting and cancelling pre-orders and shit over this, but that's a bit of an overreaction and I'm still hyped for it, but I understand since it's gonna have to live and die by the goofy celebrity guests.

Nah, I absolutely understand where they are coming from.  Almost 30 years of waiting just for the iconic and beloved Fatal Fury IP to be reduced to nothing more than a vanity venue for one nauseatingly rich dickhead is foul.  If it was just CR7 it would still kind of suck, but whatever, he is one of the most famous people alive, especially to the Latin American audience that makes up a lot of SNK's own fandom.  But now we're at the point where anyone with the loosest of ties to Prince MBS are getting full development resources and time towards becoming a full fledged character in what's supposed to be the grand finale of their flagship franchise 25 years in the making. 

Yeah and the fact the guests are announced like a week apart from each other is clearly a PR nightmare which is definitely not desired under a month before release.
Both guests were most likely the prince's obligation, as with some of the other bizarre marketing stunts like the Ring sponsorship.

While we're here, it's worth noting there's three character trailers coming soon on the site.

It's likely these may just include the DLC chars doe.

Most likely my next full-game

This isn't japanese comedian Norimaro's OC appearing for a one-shot gag against Marvel's characters, this is some DJ guy (if he is well-known around the globe like CR7, how come I never heard of this guy until now) taking up a spot that could have been a legacy Fatal Fury character or another OC in the Garou-verse to go alongside Preecha and Vox.

This!

I don't know who this DJ is. If you wanna get a guest fighter in there, use somebody from a fighting game - Street Fighter (we already have Ken and Chun-Li), Tekken, Virtua Fighter... Much better choices then some DJ.
If you wanna create some dancing DJ character, then create some new one. That DJ fighting style will be only in this game, then it is gone. All the work for the moves, the animations, all of it gone in the next game.

Alternatively they could have also created new original characters loosely based on their likenesses, as they did so many times before, like with Raiden being based on Vader.

That DJ fighting style will be only in this game, then it is gone. All the work for the moves, the animations, all of it gone in the next game.

If MBS still has ownership by the time the next game comes out, there's probably a chance he sticks around.

He may or may not also return for an AoF4, along with a few possible other random celebrity picks that MBS happens to have favor with.

And here's Hokutomaru with all of Andy's moves even though Andy will be DLC


This game really waited until the last minute to fuck up everything, uh.
If I struggled to the end of my determination, to the end of my way of life with my followers, if the result is ruin, then this ruin is inevitable. Grieve. Shed tears. But you cannot regret.

...so uhh, they've aged Hokutomaru up a bit, given him most of Andy's moveset (Zan'ei Ken, Kuuhadan and Zetsu: Hishoken??) and his Hidden Gear is a crazy mashup of Andy and Mai's attacks? O.o

What the hell are they going to give Andy now?  I'd like to say he'll be more like EX Andy, but who knows?

Waste of a slot that could have gone to KSI, Jake Paul or Kai Cenat, what is SNK doing?

  • Build it, shape it, by my will.
Jae Hoon is gonna get repackaged as some Kpop influencer based on whatever popular Kpop group there is to boost DLC sales, isn't he?  This is why he isn't in the base roster and not because of what the saudis want, right?
