Hilarious. They put an actual "literally who?" from a fighting series that has literally 0 popularity in North America compared to something like Street Fighter. Terry is a slot waste, we already have a much more popular fighting game series represented. I mean, I've barely heard of it. Final Fight isn't as popular, so why even represent it? Again, it's a slot waste and every single Fighter's Pass character is a wasted filler slot. I'll continue to dump on every single fighter they pick for being absolutely terrible and the worst choices ever since they started this entire thing. Every character in the Fighter's Pass is pathetic and a waste of money and space.

That’s all well and good, but Terry isn’t from the Final Fight series.  He is from Fatal Fury/King of Fighters. You are right though, KOF is not very popular in North America, but it is a fairly popular series in China and South America.

Ugh. Gah, I keep making that mistake.  But yeah, Fatal Fury/KoF has 0 popularity in NA compared to Street Fighter, or even Tekken.

SNK is an influential arcade juggernaut responsible for keeping the arcades alive and thriving in Japan and their fighting games are known to be some of the most popular fighting games among the FGC with the likes of King of Fighters, Fatal Fury, Samurai Showdown, Garou, etc., and recently they've been seeing a bit of a renaissance, They are Capcom's biggest rivals in the fighting game department and often give them a run for their money. Also, the King of Fighters franchise is scarily popular in Mexico and other Latin American countries as well as Japan, the US isn't the only country that matters

They're popular enough to warrant appearances in Tekken, Soul Caliber, Dead Or Alive and have a full on crossover franchise with Capcom, I don't see how Smash is any different given it's a celebration of gaming(at this point)

I'm sorry what? Joker? Banjo and Kazooie? Wasted filler? What?

I have a feeling they only want one specific character and the fact that character hasn't gotten in yet is offending them. There's no reasonable way to say Banjo and Kazooie are a waste of a fighter slot. I can see Terry, SORT OF, but even then it's not even remotely a waste. But internationally SNK games are very popular... ZeRo has said almost literally everyone plays SNK in Chile where he lives.

 

Piranha Plant, on the other hand... Yeah, that was definitely a waste.

Oh I know. They're upset that characters that aren't Shantae are getting in. It's unfair to call popular characters "filler" just because the one you wanted in didn't make it (yet).

I want a few characters who I know won't get in. Though I'm VERY happy Banjo is in. Hearing that he got in the game was expected to be honest but still very, very hype.

Exactly.
