I don’t think he was as involved with Order of Ecclesia.

@Jarkes  
PoR’s was a bit childish, though I think Order of Ecclesia is a better example.

@Thanotos Omega
 
Like I said, it could be a mistranslation. Plus he’s had several other badass female characters in the games that are still canon (such as Portrait of Ruin). So it’s possible he’s changed his mind since then.

@Thanotos Omega  
Never trust the Fandom wikis, kid.
 
@Jarkes  
That as well.

@Jarkes  
Scroll down to the retcon controversy section for the quotes,

@Meanlucario
 
Might’ve been a mistranslation that sounded worse than what he actually said at least.

I’ve been pretty lucky with mantles so far, but i finally have need of one i don’t already have.

@Background Pony #3AF6  
Oh, so being too good at King of Fighters inspired him to make Super Smash Bros. Including someone from SNK makes sense, then.

@Wiimeiser  
Terry is being included for the legacy as well, since SNK’s fighting games are right up there with Capcom’s in terms of being important and influential to the genre as a whole. Many mechanics you see in fighting games today (including Smash Bros.) like super moves, dodging by rolling and sidestepping, rage mechanics, and elimination-style tag team fighting originate from SNK’s fighting games.
 
Also, it wasn’t Fatal Fury. Sakurai said in an interview that he was an avid King of Fighters player when he was younger. He specifically mentions an instance of beating a less experienced player multiple times in The King of Fighters ’95, which made him worried that he potentially discouraged someone from getting into the game more, and in turn got him thinking about making a fighting game for beginners.

@Thanotos Omega  
Do you have links to said interview, because if not, you may be accusing him of something he never said.

@Jarkes  
There are many things in my life to regret, letting my anger over bad writing convert into hatred of decent people who were just making mistakes, lashing out at Squiggy that one time because of my paranoia, but of those many things, being pissed at a guy for making a really stupid comment in an interview is not one of them,

@Background Pony #3AF6  
I haven’t played Dragon Quest, but I’ve heard of the legacy, and see why it’s important. As for Terry, apparently Fatal Fury is Sakurai’s top non-Nintendo franchise, but I could be wrong.

@Jarkes  
That’s who I was thinking he meant.

@Meanlucario
 
Pretty sure he’s referring to Thanatos Omega.

@ExtreVile  

 
Star Fox Assault was good.

@Cyborg_pony  
You’re referring to a certain user here?

@Meanlucario
 
That is possible. Either that or the plot twist is that she turns out to be alive later.
 
 
@Cyborg_pony
 
There’s a lot of things Thanatos isn’t going to live down.

@Jarkes  
And he can fix all the Looming issues with the first one. Like the fact the main character is a WOMAN! everyone knows, IGA doesn’t do female protagonists. An irrefutable source said so!
 
_{He’s never gonna live that down no matter how he tries to ignore it. :3}

So, I might do CTR: NF Adventure Mode again, only this time on Hard Mode.

@Jarkes  
I’m genuinely surprised.

@ExtreVile  

 
I think the Dragon Quest Heroes and Terry Bogard are great additions to Smash Ultimate.

@Jarkes  
Maybe it’s actually meaningful in-game but the market team spoiled it for shock value.

@Meanlucario
 
It was in the newest one as well, as well as Ellie (I think) getting tortured, because of course.

@Jarkes  
I thought that was in a trailer awhile ago, or was that for another game?

@That1GuyGAMER18  
I just rolled my eyes at it after awhile. I should beat 2, but I know I would be doing it to say I did and not that I actually enjoy it.
