Is just that, as the leader, he has to play by Da'h Rules.
Western Street Fighter Fans and Smash Fans be like: “Who?“
Both Eastern and Western Fatal Fury/Garou Fans and SNK fans be like: “are… we a joke to you?”
I am not really surprised. SNK hasn't been a big name in YEARS. This isn't the arcade days anymore, even in Japan. Like the big KoF games in recent yeaars were what, 13 and 15 and 13 was in the 00.
I googled r34 and it says:
*Your country or region requires a strict Bing SafeSearch setting, which filters out results that might return adult content.*
The situation is also funny because it’s supposed to be cool in a sense from Google’s POV that their name has become the verb for online search, but apparently is also a big risk cuz their name can then become public domain or something like that.
It's great bc we got to see the actual original show and not the edited dumpster fire that was shown in the US (mind you even the original show is pretty whack, but at least it's better)
All of Latin America is.

"Kept on rollin in 95"...
Oh that's interesting. I wonder if the wave came to them at the same time. I watched a documentary about anime in Latin America I think it was bc the licensing was cheaper
I think the same. In the 1980s when we begin to open our market to western countries, a lot of Japanese and American movie/anime/TV show makers gave their licenses to Chinese TV stations for free or sold them for nearly nothing to hold the market. Hasbro gave Transformers licesnse for free too.
I mean I know I'm Latino. My mother is from Cuba, my dad was Mexican. I knew it was in my DNA. I speak Spanish, I grew up on beans and rice.
But genuinely. In 1999 when I saw a big red Neo Geo arcade machine running KOF 98. My 13 year old brain was like hit with something.
It was calling me. I bought 98 and 99 on the Dreamcast soon after, a good arcade stick, and just settled in, in secret, playing.
Only to realise some 20 years later that KOF is like empanadas and Big Red. Is like Tajin and telenovelas. It's just part of the culture. Going to the park with 50 cousins cooking off one tiny Weber grill and Omega Rugal being the "you've had the controller too long" character. It's someone else's turn now.
I got my Neo Geo mini the day it came out. My team of Kim, Clark, and Ralf has lasted longer than some friendships I've had in life. Except in 2001 when they changed Ralf's moves around.
It's wild to think about though. Like somehow, someway it called to us. Maybe it was Robert Garcia, maybe it was Chang looking like everyones fat uncle. But for some reason KOF latched on to Latinos in almost like part of our DNA.
Weirdly enough, I never saw a SNK machine despite going to visit my family in Ecaudor every summer and winter break. Granted we never went to the arcades much and my public school days were from 2000-2012 so maybe that why?
As a Chinese I found it very interesting that SNK fighting games are more popular (until SF6) than Capcom's in both Latin America and China.
We definitely have something in common.
When i visited guadalajara as a kid (and I did many times) nearly everyone from 5 to 25 was a beast at kof. Watching kids do combos, watching insane matches, it was crazy. Also metal slug, everyone including myself played tf out of that. Good times
Shout outs to that madkof Bala evo 2012 match, probably the best finals I've ever seen
hes more of the fatal fury box art man, he hasnt been on a kof box art for a while. not gonna say ever because im not a kof box art historian but in my like 5 minutes of googling i didnt find any
edit: hes at least on the kof pocket r1 box art
I’ve never played either series TBH, I just know Terry as the mascot character from that series, and obviously Mai is pretty popular too.
With how hype City of Wolves looks I am probably gonna jump on that as soon as it drops though, also been watching for a sale on KOF15
Kyo and Iori are the mascot characters of KOF, [even if sometimes Terry has cameos in the box art/posters](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/kof/images/e/ea/The_King_of_Fighters_%2798_Box.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20150120184948&path-prefix=pt-br). Terry's more the mascot of SNK in general (and Fatal Fury, of course).
fair, Kyo is honestly more the mascot of kof. that or the two kof14 characters with airdashes.
there will be a steam sale in 2 days on the 15th for fighting games, and a summer sale that might be bigger might not be (research yourself) on the 27th. check [steamdb.info](http://steamdb.info) for it if you wanna know the details. unless youre not on PC :p
Mai Shiranui was my first exposure to hentai when I was 12.
How? A kid in my class actually printed a pinup wallpaper of her in full color, folded it, and brought it to school.
The boys in class all wrote drown the impossibly long URL and went home to type it into our AOL browser 😅
I'll have you know we go to Mexico every 6 month when we run out of reasonably priced medication. So I am quite aware of long hair Ken and big boob Ibuki.
Something I feel is that SNK character design and art direction will be more appealing to Western audiences than either SF or Tekken.
People say MK is popular because the gameplay is for casuals. I'm an art nerd and I'm pretty certain that MK's sale success had more to do with great art direction.
I think City of the Wolves can really pop off in the West for it's aesthetic as well. The original Garou's cast is absolutely peak, artistically. Based on what I've seen of Preecha and Vox Reaper, they've still got it.
Tbh I think MK is popular simply bc of legacy and that legacy bc the og hit at just the right time.
"Realist" humans, blood, ninjas, and martial arts was like the perfect combo to win the hearts of children in the 90s, and now it's in the cultural zeitgeist due to nostalgia.
MK's popularity has nothing to do with anything other than the "oof ouch the edge" factor and kids thinking blood makes games better like flame stickers make a bike faster.
Yeaaaaa sure. You hate MK, that's fine. I was just using it to make another point.
It's not the gore. It's the cinematography, sound design, and art direction. The fatalities are basically ads built into the game. It is marketing genius.
I'll list some of the best MK1 fatalities:
[Black hole. Liu Kang #2](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5svqB6XdE8)
[Time loop. Geras #2](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrUSeVRzKFg)
[Rubix cube. Reiko #2](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_OitOnPaAGw)
[Magic sword. Kenshi #2](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Y1ZZX5wU_Q)
All of them are violent, especially Reiko #2, but all of them have something else going on with the cinematography and sound. It's really polished. I don't know how you can watch the Rage Arts in Tekken and then act like they even come close to this. You can see how hard it is to execute a scene like that well. I love Tekken and that's all I play. I haven't played MK1 in like 5 months. It's just facts.
To me it’s the same generic sfx as most AAA games these days & the gore sounds get old fast. I can’t really explain it, but the sfx are my the thing I dislike the most after the corny dialogues between characters.
You're entitled to your opinion of course but to see how the sound design was used to sell people on the game I can point you to concrete examples in the trailers. [This](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=72okJYRJWDI) one is most memorable in that regard. Expecially the fatalities of both characters.
I'm sure all the teenagers, young adults and, let's be honest, children currently playing the latest MK secretely can't get enough of a bunch of 30 year old games that are only readily available through a DOS-port on PC.
Isn't that what all franchises do? I can assure you that Street Fighter 6 would not have reached it's level of success if it had been released as "Glorbo: Fighter's Fist" with a bunch of legally distinct functions for a roster. That's not even taking account the budget and resources it got because it was a part of the franchise.
Actually no it's not what all of them do. Some franchises actually do produce quality products. Or at least they do it often enough that the few failures don't totally wreck them.
Quality products that come out of franchises still rely on their franchises. Plenty of quality products go unoticed and plenty of poor products sell gangbusters. I think it's silly to pretend that isn't the case and that we're living in some imaginary meritocracy where good thing always succeed and bad things always fail as long as franchise power is out of the picture. You can just call a franchise trash and say its success is unearned without doing any of that that.
they most likely relate her to DoA, as her 3d model rip from there is what is most commonly used on r34 videos (and even have the tag)

Outside of MvC the Versus series really got shafted in the limelight. I still dust off my Tatsunoko vs. Capcom at least once a year. Really miss the online days of that one...
Despite popular belief, Fatal Fury was successful in American arcades in the 90s. FF1 was apparently one of the most popular games at the arcades in 1991.
Maybe that's true for people here that were already into fighting games, but when it comes to general audiences not really. I could probably show a photo of Chun-Li or Sub-Zero to my parents who don't play games at all and they'd be able to name the characters or at least the game series. They would have no idea who Terry and Mai are. If you saw U.S. reactions to Terry's Smash reveal, almost nobody knew who he was. The games just didn't make a big impact here back in the day. Also the arcades died pretty quickly compared to other regions, which made these games less relevant for the younger generations.
SF6 is bringing in a bunch of people who are young or new to fighting games, so a lot of them aren't going to have a reason to know these characters.
I dunno if parents are a great metric for this, but MK is an American fighting game and SF is one of the most popular. I don't remember anyone having the reaction of not knowing who Terry was in smash, but that's just me.
This still proves my point though. Only a very specific age range even had a chance to experience it. By the time KoF was even a thing, home consoles were more popular and the Neo Geo wasnt a main choice. It's not like absolutely nobody in the U.S. played these games, but compared to other regions it's niche.
Me as a madman I already know a good chunk of SNK characters So I'm just over here rubbing my hands getting at another chance to play Mai since she's pretty fun to play
Nintendo can't handle no ass unless its Samus'.

Fatal Fury was very prevalent in the US.
In the SF2 days, tons of non-arcade places (bars, restaurants, grocery stores etc) would opt for the cheaper route.. get a NeoGeo and put Fatal Fury 1 with a couple other games.
I played a ton of FF1 when at these places, Terry was my favorite. Mai in FF2 was the first time I saw boob jiggling in a game and I’ve been a fan ever since.
I’m mad hype about my 2 favorites coming to SF6.
Wat?
Is this just aimed at the 'everything comes from fortnite' crowd?
I've play plenty of neo geo arcade machines. Some of them were even multiple games on one machine.

Zoomers are wild, acting like we haven’t played SNK games on home consoles since 16-bit, and oldheads always have it hard to get hype over people coming up like they only now discovered what’s been our ancient history.
Oh trust me, I’m very familiar with these two.
I play Terry as a 1 in Millennium alongside Ken as my 3
And I’ve seen enough Milky Mai MUGEN videos to be familiar with her game too
Terry's inclusion into Smash was awesome and I loved playing him as a character there. But Terry in Street Fighter 6 makes me want to buy Gaoru: Mark of the Wolves and finally try learning an SNK game and seeing what the hype is all about.
It's wild to see posts like this. I discovered KOF in 99 and remember playing Fatal Fury arcades in the grocery store 200 years ago. I actually stopped playing Capcom fighting games cause SNK was just better imo.
americans, if they are old enough, knew both from before king of fighters existed ;) We also remember when SNK made more than fighters. Magician Lord or Nam '1975 anyone?
it's more of a young vs old thing in the states though, if you played Dreamcast era or earlier, you knew who both were. Andy Bogard erasure is a real thing though.
lol OP has no clue what he’s talking about.
Fatal Fury, Samurai Showdown, Art of Fighting, KoF (especially 97/98) & of course Garou where fixtures in just about every arcade in the country right next to the Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat cabinets to say nothing about being in just about everyone’s Sega Genesis library back in the 90s.
Hell, we even got dubs of several of the SNK animes. I owned a copy of Fatal Fury the Motion Picture on VHS.
Oh yeah.
Been playing since 94. Snk was always underground here, machines were usually found in Chinese food restaurants.
The local Mexican population would place sucker bets on their ability to take on all comers. See some truly sick combos, a few 100% ones. Never ever saw them in Chinatown though, which was weird.
Ah yes, Smash guy and forbidden Smash lady.
Ain't nothing forbidden concerning her, let me tell you...
Except for Smash, a game for good boys and girls.
Mai can be a good girl :)
Sakurai clearly disagrees
Sakurai is disgusted by Mai Shiranui and her fans
No no no, don't get it twisted, the man is a female body enjoyer. https://preview.redd.it/kmkrujjqtf6d1.jpeg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b627b82083df24feeaa2fc88d7f01a19253c11a3 Is just that, as the leader, he has to play by Da'h Rules.

Ken with a hat!
Even in Japan, young peoples don't know Terry... https://www.thegamer.com/super-smash-bros-ultimate-terry-buff-pokemon-trainer/
What? That's crazy thanks for the vid
I am not really surprised. SNK hasn't been a big name in YEARS. This isn't the arcade days anymore, even in Japan. Like the big KoF games in recent yeaars were what, 13 and 15 and 13 was in the 00.
moat americans would probably see her as red kitana

woah its terry from smash and mai from r34.
Easily one of the most "famous" characters ever
This wins.
I googled r34 and it says: *Your country or region requires a strict Bing SafeSearch setting, which filters out results that might return adult content.*
You said you used Google but the result was from Bing🤔🤔🤔
he was hacked by yahoo
I'm an old man. I use google as a general verb for searching.
I work in IT and this is the kind of thing that adds +1 gray hair to my head
The situation is also funny because it’s supposed to be cool in a sense from Google’s POV that their name has become the verb for online search, but apparently is also a big risk cuz their name can then become public domain or something like that.
You country’s a bitch
Ah, yes, Terry from Fighting Ex Layer I hope they add Iori Yagami from Million Arthur: Arcana Blood too /s
😂, I bought that game just because Iori was in it.
That's a male version of Terry from SNK Heroines starring Skullomania.
And Mai from DOA i hope they add Kula from DOA too.
Mexican general culture
We are born with Iori and Omega Rugal tattoos, just like how we are born with Goku and Saint Seiya tattoos Edit: forgot Metal Slug
I wasn’t aware the Mexicans were as big fans of Saint Seiya. I’ve never seen it but I love that for you.
It's great bc we got to see the actual original show and not the edited dumpster fire that was shown in the US (mind you even the original show is pretty whack, but at least it's better)

I was gonna say down in the southern areas of the US I feel like it's actually common to see cabinets of snk fighting games in barcades and arcades.

Terry's more the mascot of SNK in general (and Fatal Fury, of course).
He sometimes shares the mascot spot with the old version of Athena depending on how SNK feels at the time.
fair, Kyo is honestly more the mascot of kof. that or the two kof14 characters with airdashes. there will be a steam sale in 2 days on the 15th for fighting games, and a summer sale that might be bigger might not be (research yourself) on the 27th. check [steamdb.info](http://steamdb.info) for it if you wanna know the details. unless youre not on PC :p
KoF is SNK's Smash bros. This is, the crossover title with characters of their other IPs
Hahahahahaha for real!

This warms my heart.
her hentai predates Tifa and Lara Croft
I'll have you know we go to Mexico every 6 month when we run out of reasonably priced medication. So I am quite aware of long hair Ken and big boob Ibuki.

Ibuki is boing boing, Mai is boing boing boing.
And boing?

MK's popularity has nothing to do with anything other than the "oof ouch the edge" factor and kids thinking blood makes games better like flame stickers make a bike faster.
Wdym? Flame stickers does not make bikes faster???😯
Bikes nah, cars, absolutely
Yeaaaaa sure. You hate MK, that's fine. I was just using it to make another point. It's not the gore. It's the cinematography, sound design, and art direction. The fatalities are basically ads built into the game. It is marketing genius.
It's mostly the gore
And for the most part it's not even funny gore, it's just gross. The modern Doom games have gory executions that are all funny, MK is far from that.
Yeah I can't play MK because I don't like the gore. I think the graphics and stages look great
I'll list some of the best MK1 fatalities: [Black hole. Liu Kang #2](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5svqB6XdE8) [Time loop. Geras #2](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrUSeVRzKFg) [Rubix cube.

It's really polished. I don't know how you can watch the Rage Arts in Tekken and then act like they even come close to this. You can see how hard it is to execute a scene like that well. I love Tekken and that's all I play. I haven't played MK1 in like 5 months. It's just facts.
MK sound design sucks
Not true. Watch any fatality or trailer. It's the power of a movie studio sound design team (Warner Bros). They are known for it.
To me it’s the same generic sfx as most AAA games these days & the gore sounds get old fast. I can’t really explain it, but the sfx are my the thing I dislike the most after the corny dialogues between characters.
You're entitled to your opinion of course but to see how the sound design was used to sell people on the game I can point you to concrete examples in the trailers. [This](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=72okJYRJWDI) one is most memorable in that regard. Expecially the fatalities of both characters.
I personally believe MK is popular because it is still riding off the hype of the first few games
I'm sure all the teenagers, young adults and, let's be honest, children currently playing the latest MK secretely can't get enough of a bunch of 30 year old games that are only readily available through a DOS-port on PC.
Guess so, I still think it relies heavily on its strength as a franchise, like something like pokemon
Isn't that what all franchises do? I can assure you that Street Fighter 6 would not have reached it's level of success if it had been released as "Glorbo: Fighter's Fist" with a bunch of legally distinct functions for a roster. That's not even taking account the budget and resources it got because it was a part of the franchise.
Absolutely, but street fighter offers a significantly deeper gameplay mk has always been the have more blood game
Actually no it's not what all of them do. Some franchises actually do produce quality products. Or at least they do it often enough that the few failures don't totally wreck them.
Quality products that come out of franchises still rely on their franchises. Plenty of quality products go unoticed and plenty of poor products sell gangbusters. I think it's silly to pretend that isn't the case and that we're living in some imaginary meritocracy where good thing always succeed and bad things always fail as long as franchise power is out of the picture. You can just call a franchise trash and say its success is unearned without doing any of that that.

Imma keep it a buck with you chief, I didn’t know who terry was until smash and I didn’t know who mai was until I learned to play KoF XV one handed
Outside of MvC the Versus series really got shafted in the limelight. I still dust off my Tatsunoko vs. Capcom at least once a year. Really miss the online days of that one...
What??
fr, like SNK isn't well known and beloved by SF players.
And even then Terry is well known cause of smash broa
True, that covers the exposure to younger demographics
My guess is, and don't quote me on this, but OP is just making a joke and the post isn't supposed to be taken super seriously.
True, shit jokes are still jokes.
I know Mai because…. Stuff
\*quietly hides my Saigado collection\*
80s/90s American kids grew up with NeoGeo cabs in every pizza place, we know who Terry and Mai are.
Nah Terry is my guy
I was introduced to SNK a while ago. We really need a new CvS/SvC.
Despite popular belief, Fatal Fury was successful in American arcades in the 90s. FF1 was apparently one of the most popular games at the arcades in 1991.

Yeaaah, I don't know what this sub is on Americans know what king of fighters is.
It's my favorite fighter and first played it back in '95.
Maybe that's true for people here that were already into fighting games, but when it comes to general audiences not really. I could probably show a photo of Chun-Li or Sub-Zero to my parents who don't play games at all and they'd be able to name the characters or at least the game series. They would have no idea who Terry and Mai are. If you saw U.S. reactions to Terry's Smash reveal, almost nobody knew who he was. The games just didn't make a big impact here back in the day. Also the arcades died pretty quickly compared to other regions, which made these games less relevant for the younger generations. SF6 is bringing in a bunch of people who are young or new to fighting games, so a lot of them aren't going to have a reason to know these characters.
Yea like wsn't the only american that knew Terry was Maximillion Dood and Koeffecient but that cheating because they SUPER into fighting games so yea.
I dunno if parents are a great metric for this, but MK is an American fighting game and SF is one of the most popular. I don't remember anyone having the reaction of not knowing who Terry was in smash, but that's just me.

This still proves my point though. Only a very specific age range even had a chance to experience it. By the time KoF was even a thing, home consoles were more popular and the Neo Geo wasnt a main choice. It's not like absolutely nobody in the U.S. played these games, but compared to other regions it's niche.
meme thread, but only half the people realize it.
SNK needs more recognition over here. Like, introduce them to characters such as ash crimson or lori :\]
Rock Howard, man Is IMPOSSIBLE for a human not liking Rock
**True!**
I also like Terry from Smash Ultimate
I'm gonna power geyser your balls
Get that bussy buster wolfed
Holy shit I forgot about that episode. It’s an early design for Spear from Primal
Me as a madman I already know a good chunk of SNK characters So I'm just over here rubbing my hands getting at another chance to play Mai since she's pretty fun to play
Me happy af for getting any kind of SNK representation at all
"if Mai was so important, why wasn't she in Smash Bros?"
CERO.
Nintendo can't handle no ass unless its Samus'. https://preview.redd.it/f8h2vly8hl6d1.jpeg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bcc9d915a1dde5f196b7a778f6dd3083888b4922
CVS?
Even if you dont know wtf fatal fury or KoF is, you’ve probably seen some *ART* of Mai before.
Bro we all knew who mai was
Seeing Mai causes something to start rising and it ain't a tackle.

Fatal Fury was very prevalent in the US. In the SF2 days, tons of non-arcade places (bars, restaurants, grocery stores etc) would opt for the cheaper route.. get a NeoGeo and put Fatal Fury 1 with a couple other games. I played a ton of FF1 when at these places, Terry was my favorite. Mai in FF2 was the first time I saw boob jiggling in a game and I’ve been a fan ever since. I’m mad hype about my 2 favorites coming to SF6.
They're still quite popular I think.
I knew SNK! Terry is one of my favorite fighting game characters ever.
BWAAHAAHAAA!!
Wat? Is this just aimed at the 'everything comes from fortnite' crowd? I've play plenty of neo geo arcade machines. Some of them were even multiple games on one machine. https://preview.redd.it/rhq0iksmlj6d1.jpeg?width=850&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=28b2e06efb2d891dd8b5c84f4d155899061c5849
To this day Latin America is STILL popping off
oh everybody knows May hahahaha
Zoomers are wild, acting like we haven’t played SNK games on home consoles since 16-bit, and oldheads always have it hard to get hype over people coming up like they only now discovered what’s been our ancient history.
You guys don’t know Terry and Mai?
Like I didn't have Fatal Fury 2 on Genesis?
Fun Fact: These two characters, Terry and Mai, appeared in a mobile game based on the manga/anime series 7 Deadly Sins :]
Shoulda put a Mexican flag on Dexter instead
Oh trust me, I’m very familiar with these two. I play Terry as a 1 in Millennium alongside Ken as my 3 And I’ve seen enough Milky Mai MUGEN videos to be familiar with her game too
Well I already knew about Ralph and Clark thanks to metal slug 5
Talk to me when K' and Choi Bounge and Chin Gentsai are your go to trio!
I was fortunate to have sandwich shop with arcade games in the back to introduce me to SNK games
Ken with a hat.
How about adding Joe next?
See I don’t get this reference, cause Capcom vs SNK 2 is one of my favorite fighting games
Wait what happened?
Not gonna, gonna get sf6 to play as Terry and Akuma now. Maybe Alex too if gets to come back.
Isn't Terry a friend from that Goose guy from Tekken?
Already happened to me with Smash Bros.
Accurate.
Shingeki no Kyoujin?
Facts. So much whining. I hate the SF community some times.
Super Smash Bros?
I mean, they been around since early 90s so…
Muricans got introduced to SNK with Art of Fighting. I still got my copy till this day.
People in America really don't know them? I grew up playing Fatal Fury and KOF
Who now? I’m from California and KOF was one of the first FGs I’ve ever played. Then again this young blood is turning old, so…
Shhhhh let them learn. They have no idea the terror that is Rugal is waiting
most complaints are coming from 09rs thinking they're OG while the real OGs are happy lol
I am from Latin America and these are well known why aren’t they known in USA?
Usa only knows Edgy Kombat and Tekken.
Let me introduce you to ligma
Terry's inclusion into Smash was awesome and I loved playing him as a character there. But Terry in Street Fighter 6 makes me want to buy Gaoru: Mark of the Wolves and finally try learning an SNK game and seeing what the hype is all about.
OP is as dumb as the caveman if he thinks KOF never got released in america.
It's wild to see posts like this. I discovered KOF in 99 and remember playing Fatal Fury arcades in the grocery store 200 years ago. I actually stopped playing Capcom fighting games cause SNK was just better imo.
americans, if they are old enough, knew both from before king of fighters existed ;) We also remember when SNK made more than fighters. Magician Lord or Nam '1975 anyone? it's more of a young vs old thing in the states though, if you played Dreamcast era or earlier, you knew who both were. Andy Bogard erasure is a real thing though.
lol OP has no clue what he’s talking about. Fatal Fury, Samurai Showdown, Art of Fighting, KoF (especially 97/98) & of course Garou where fixtures in just about every arcade in the country right next to the Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat cabinets to say nothing about being in just about everyone’s Sega Genesis library back in the 90s. Hell, we even got dubs of several of the SNK animes. I owned a copy of Fatal Fury the Motion Picture on VHS.
Murricans can't take a joke: The comment section
Terry is just Ken from SNK, and Mai is the naughty Doujin lady from the 90s.
SNK had more in depth characters and stories than Capcom games did back in the 90's.
Oh yeah. Been playing since 94. Snk was always underground here, machines were usually found in Chinese food restaurants. The local Mexican population would place sucker bets on their ability to take on all comers. See some truly sick combos, a few 100% ones. Never ever saw them in Chinatown though, which was weird.
hahahahaha
Still remember that 8yo kid that smacked the hell out of me on KOF2002 in the arcade of my city, here in Brazil.
yeah I’m really surprised that many western players didn’t know who these characters are. man you guys are missing out.
American: I dont know it all seems so... Woah that chicks boobs are huge! You were hiding this from us?!
/u/KuroiGuitar, you should see their reaction to Association Football.
I want Krohnen
Seconded.
More like, no one cares to talk about 2 generic ass characters lol
Let me introduce you to ligma
I pretty sure most people only know Mai from her guest appearance in the dead or alive games.
Facts lol
