Kyo should have been the one chosen for Smash. Been playing KoF for 7 years now and it's obvious he's the Ryu of the SNK world. He's so much cooler and has done far more for SNK.
Kyo should have been the one chosen for Smash...
Terry is cooler and everybody loves him more, something Kyo isnt
Wrong. Iori should have been chosen. He's way better than Kyo.
It should have been the Metal Slug crew
only 7 years? people been playing this shit since '94 or at least '98. What the fuck?
Kyo hasn’t even graduated from high school.
When you think about it, Terry is considered as part of Fatal Fury as opposed to King of Fighters in Smash. Maybe Sakurai is saving King of Fighters itself to get a character in a future installment. So that way both Fatal Fury and King of Fighters can get a character in.
>people been playing this shit since '94 or at least '98. What the fuck?
Those people literally don't play Smash. Anyone who's been playing for that long most likely only plays traditional fighters or other games in general.
>Wrong. Iori should have been chosen. He's way better than Kyo.
and by way better you mean dresses like a literal faggot and is also somehow more edgy in the cringiest of ways, sure.
Kyo WISHES he was HALF as cool as Terry. He wasn't even second string, Iori or Geese would have made it in before him.
>What the fuck?
People get into different games at different times. What the fuck is so amusing about that, retard?
It was their turn!
nah, Kyo is boring and Terry is more recognizable. get fucked.
why mention it like it makes you some sort of authority when it's such a short time to play KOF, basically. you didn't even get into the series when 13 came out like most KOF zoomers. it's a weird thing to say.
A lot of people got into KoF through XIII user. Pretty good place to start too, can't imagine what it would be like if someone's introduction to KoF was XII or one of the Maximum Impact games.
>t. Kusanagi clan member
>villain-esque characters would have made it in before the main character of the biggest franchise
You're retarded.
>A lot of people got into KoF through XIII user
Literally no one played KoF XIII.
Even Iori knows Kyo is the best.
Terry was the cooler Kyo before Kyo even existed. Kyo almost reached Terry levels of cool during the Nests saga but he stopped being the main character and slowly faded into irrelevance.
XIII is the SFIV of KoF. It's the second most common starting point for KoF players, whether ni'98ers want to admit it or not.
I'd want Leona or Shermie, but I know the CERO wouldn't like them.
Iori would be boss as hell.
But, of anyone, if I could whoever I wanted, I'd go with Rugal.
KoF 98 is objectively bigger than KoF XIII. Whether that's the case now due to the fact XIII has gotten more popular in the last few years is still to be decided.
I've been playing Fatal Fury and KoF since the Wii virtual console era, Terry is clearly the favorite, when someone mentioned an SNK character potentially coming people didn't go "it's gotta be Kyo" they went "it's probably Terry, Nakoruru, or a Mai."
You're delusional. Terry, Nakoruru & Mai are the most beloved SNK characters. Hell, even Athena or Haohmaru would've been announced before Kyo.
t. someone who loves SNK and actually likes Kyo even if he's boring.
>when someone mentioned an SNK character potentially coming people didn't go "it's gotta be Kyo"
People were saying Kyo long BEFORE the SNK leak.

>they went "it's probably Terry, Nakoruru, or a Mai."
First of all, no one said Nakoruru. She's not even the mascot character of her own franchise let alone the one to be chosen for Smash. Everyone already knew Mai couldn't get in because of her revealing outfit, and Terry was only assumed AFTER "leakers" like Sabi and Vergeben said it was Terry a day or so after the SNK leak. Go on YouTube and look at actual Neo Geo fans the day the SNK leak happened (like Neo Geo Now for example), who thought it was Kyo. Even Maximillian Dood who despite being a fake SNK fan thought it was going to be Haohmaru.
>no one said Nakoruru
Newfag begone, Nakoruru was posted more then both Terry and Mai, it was awful
>Nakoruru was posted more then both Terry and Mai, it was awful
The only people who ever said Nakoruru and Mai are waifutards and not actual fans.
Yeah
Kyo nor Iori will never be the faces of SNK. Not even the Metal Slug team. Deal with it.
>Kyo nor Iori will never be the faces of SNK.
Kyo will literally continue to be the face when he's front in center of the cover of KoF XV and most promotional artwork.
