That's pretty fucking lame. Saudi Arabia does plenty of the sportswashing shit with actual boxers and MMA fighters. Even pro wrestlers. Any of them would make way more sense in a Fatal Fury game than a god damn soccer player.

Would be a missed opportunity if they don't have him shouting his trademark "SIU!!" at some point.

It could be another type of crossover promotion rather than a character inclusion - maybe a South Town football stadium with a bunch of cameo shit or something. Unless I missed something, there hasn't been an announcement of what his involvement will be.

When you link x.com you have to change the domain name to twitter.com so the board knows how to automatically embed the post.

why does it have to make sense? from a game that features a street/break dancer with a duck, a rich girl that was bored and became a pirate, and a recreational pilot.

"after the 2022 world cup, Cristiano was inspired by Terry Bogard after getting into a street fight with him in an alley in Qatar."

the story writes itself.

I don't care about a soccer player being in CotW.

I'm concerned about the long term optics of a hush-money-happy, self-admitted rapist being in CotW.

This is news to me because I don't follow soccer. Imma go read up on this.\

EDIT: Read up on it.

Maybe not the best choice for the game. Still buying it.

Don't like to see real life characters in SNK Fighting Games.
If SNK thinks that real persons are a good idea they should put them in a separate game: The King of Celebs!
Ronaldo vs. Verstappen, Lemmy vs. Shakira, Trump vs. Macron.... could be fun.
But I don't want to play Terry Bogard vs. Ronaldo.
Just my 2 Euro-Cents.

I'd love to KO Ronaldo with a Buster Wolf.
