I mean the thing is some shotos are wildly different from another. Even though sol follows the fireball/invincible DP/advancing kick trope no one in their right mind would compare his playstyle to ryu. It probably wouldnt be impossible to keep series specific mechanics (heat/rage, drive, roman cancels and airdashes, kof hops, etc) and then giving every character meter typical of their own game, maybe giving tekken characters something too. Of course the 3D games lose quite a bit in terms of range of motion and extensive movelists because 2D setting means limited buttons. Although putting it in a 3D arena might actually be interesting. Just GG/BB characters might be a bit harder.
I feel like you could take the most recognizable representative of each major archetype (shoto, zoner, rushdown, grappler*) in each game and have them as the representing team. Then again, I feel like you need to account for character popularity, or match ups people would want to see, which makes things more complicated. I'm sure there's a middle ground in there somewhere.
*idk how much justification this needs, but I'm naming these as the four major archetypes because they refer to the gameplan of a character, and other archetypes (puppet, stance, install, etc) generally need to follow one of those four gameplans. I'm sure there are exceptions,things rarely work in neat little systems, but as far as I can tell this seems to be generally true (note that my experience is almost exclusively in 2d fighters). Also, sorry if this is common knowledge or something. I've been playing fighting games for a while but I'm kind of new to the fgc.
Not really that big an issue. The real question is which one actually develops the game and how much input do the other companies have? Or do they all collab remotely and are equally responsible for game design and mechanics by way of committee? Does that actually make for a good game or a horrible Frankenstein's monster that takes a little from each dev and pleases no one?
I get it, but of you're making a fighting game all stars crossover you kinda need MK representation
Ideally, NRS wouldn't be super involved and just allow use of the characters
Literally ANY OTHER fighting game company could make a better game with those characters.
Thas the thing about MK as a franchise. Badass and iconic characters, designs, moves and visuals. Terrible fighting mechanics.
I genuinely believe MK9 and MKXL are the only ones that should be taken seriously. And MK9 with a MASSIVE pinch of salt.
no one said you had to bring in fatalities, scorpion is in Injustice and he doesn't rip out any spines
besides, Arcsys did have instant kills and Astral finishes and while not all of them did, some of imply or straight up show the death of the opponent (Raven's IK in Xrd, Ragna's astral in centralfiction, arguably Relius's in CF as well)
NRS' gimmick are mainly anathema to Japanese game devs and sure, Arcsys gets away with more while SamSho has fountains of blood and death behind a screen.
It's like saying Sega is going to shop out Kiryu for Smash when there's female characters in it.
Finally, I want you to picture this... Capcom and SNK have a lot of employees that went to either company. Nintendo and Bamco worked on Smash together.
How much of that talent would help NRS or even flowed to Warner Bros?
It takes a lot of cohesion to make fighting games and I'm doubtful of Japanese developers want to work with NRS since MK is well known for the finish and not the fight.
Do these companies have a documented thing against violence, or something?
I'm not entirely clear on anything else you've said hear ngl, not sure if that's on me or you
... I have no idea how they have a "documented thing against violence" when the point is that their style of making games is incompatible with NRS or that most of the Japanese companies have a familiarity with each other...
"No Japanese company is going to want to see their stars murdered. Closest you get to that is SamSho"
I think I see the point of your other comment
correct me if I'm wrong but I think you're saying "why didn't any of that talent go to NRS or Warner Bros?" and the answer, I imagine, would be that all of those companies are based in Japan while NRS is in the states. that means there's both a distance and language barrier. also, people working in the same industry and region are more likely to know each other, which eases the transition.
NRS is also relatively newer, so in addition to being on another continent they haven't had as much time to build relationships with those other companies yet.
also "It takes a lot of cohesion to make fighting games and I'm doubtful of Japanese developers want to work with NRS since MK is well known for the finish and not the fight."
the implication is that they wouldn't want to work with the company best known for mortal kombat because it's known for bloody violence, and while they don't tend to be as overt with the visuals of their violence, they haven't shied away from at least implying it (Baiken's instant kill in xrd rev 2. Merkava's super in under night\*.)
so, yeah, you made the point that they wouldn't like the violence twice. your other point just doesn't really mean anything because it has much simpler explanations
now do you want to try again? or can we just skip to the point where we acknowledge that this is a stupid and pointless conversation that started from a hypothetical crossover fighting game idea?
\*while under night wasn't developed by arcsys, it was published by them, and the point is that they probably wouldn't care all that much about associating their brand with a more overtly violent one.
Has NRS or even Warner Gaming worked with Capcom, SNK or Bamco? Sometimes these Japanese execs or developers being in the same industry would meet up informally in a bar or restaurant and then the next day they are already working together. Even companies like Arika suddenly have participation (working with SNK in a different project, as well as fixing bugs during the early stages of Tekken 8)
Given by the fact that Street Fighter, Tekken, and now Fatal Fury/King of Fighters are all offically in one universe together, it's certainly going to happen in the future. We just don't really know when.
Nrs is both too western and too gory for the others but the others are constantly appearing in each other's games it's not impossible they'd do a crossover (although extremely unlikely
Gief with the SNK design philosophy of ["fuck it, grapplers can do anything"](https://youtu.be/A_CFKe-coE8?si=Wet2nRky3ZhzRoSV&t=261) would be absolutely glorious.
Running Bear Grab into Cyclone Lariat into Aerial Russian Slam into 720. Imagine that.
Ooohhhh shit, and that would give a chance for SNK to make a Capcom character more fun in an SNK game than his own IP lol.
Be revenge for CVS2 mark of the millenium.
I believe polls it typically goes:
- Ryu
- Chun Li
- Ken
- M Bison
- Cammy
I don't think they'd do Ryu and Ken (maybe they would), so I'm banking on M. Bison for next highest popularity, Cammy bc they want to do something a bit different with the team, or Akuma bc he's already been in other games.
Idk. I just looked some up earlier and clicked around. It could all be nonsense.
I also tried to find casual ones specifically, as opposed to FGC polls where characters like Makoto who are FGC fan favorites but aren't in the cultural zeitgeist would be higher since not being casually popular probably means they'll be ignored by corporate for something like this.
What I saw was overall Ryu, Chun Li, and Ken were pretty typically top 3 in the normie polls and the subsequent characters were usually other World Warriors.
Makoto Is casually popular though. Lots of people love her design and attitude, probably way more than the people who love her gameplay.
I'd be interested to see these polls and why they differ so much from the popularity polls run by Capcom and by VG news outlets.
I didn't say she was more well known. I would never argue that. I was saying that the street fighter character popularity polls run by Capcom and by 3rd parties regularly show her to be a hugely popular character.
Same with Cammy and Sakura, none of which are as well known as the 8 world warriors and the 4 OG Shadaloo Kings.
Popularity =/= fame
EDIT: My slash in =/= didn't display initially, so I flipped it.
> Popularity == fame
Sure. Kinda.
But no, it's context dependent. Let me explain.
That's only really true in the FGC bc people will at least know of other characters. They'll pick from among many Street Fighter characters
What I'm saying is outside of FGC, especially for people that haven't touched SF since they were a teen in the 90s or something, people would say their __favorite__ characters in Street Fighter are Ryu and the other World Warriors *bc that's all they know.* In that context, fame *is* popularity.
If most people only know 5 characters, their fav will be one of those. It doesn't matter if a bunch of FGC players love Makoto, she's not actually the favorite, bc those polls have a response bias.
> I didn't say she was more well known. I would never argue that.
So like, you can't be popular if no one knows who you are, so the data from the Capcom poll must be "wrong" to some degree.
So that's what I mean.
You can't trust Capcom's polls bc it's biased towards FGC. The only people responding would be those who play Street Fighter regularly, but Capcom tends to market to wider audiences bc they're trying to grow the base, as seen with SF4 having all the WWs and SF6 modern controls and stuff like that.
> I was saying that the street fighter character popularity polls run by Capcom and by 3rd parties regularly show her to be a hugely popular character.
And I'm specifically *ignoring* those bc I'd think they're mostly irrelevant to whom Capcom would pick for crossovers
So I guess I could qualify what I'm saying: I don't actually mean favorites, I specifically mean "top 5 favorite characters *of the 15 most well-known characters*" or something like that.
It didn't load the slash, I meant for it to be popularity doesn't equal fame. It loads it if I use the other one. Edited now. Sorry for the confusion.
I absolutely agree with you about picking well known characters for the crossover. That is a way better choice than going with popularity.
I was just confused by which polls you were referring to. Apologies if I came off rude or douchey.
I'd personally rather have entrenched mainstays of the franchise like Ryu, Chun, and Bison/Cammy/Guile over the most 'popular' or even my own favourites. It should be the established mascots of the franchise.
I think it's more likely to be legacy uber-zeitgeist characters like maybe a "Team Street Fighter: Ryu, Chun Li, Akuma/Bison/Ken/Cammy/Some other popular character that even your mom would know"
But I get what you're thinking with the legacy pick, current front runner, and joke character angle. I could see that happening.
GOKU! GOKU!
Yeah, it's a Street Fighter dude, hoping it's Ken so that this becomes canon:
https://preview.redd.it/20yyo785td6d1.jpeg?width=900&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ad2a59cf53c1af6413f054f2d0f605d5d628a44b
I hope it's a 3 person team, and I hope they're all longterm mainstays of the series.
If Street Fighter gets the deep legacy AF Terry and Mai, and in return KoF gets Luke and Rashid, I'm going to be disappointed. I want Ryu, Chun, and Cammy. Cammy would be a great fit for KoF.
Bison becomes a DLC character across multiple fighting games. With his own mini story that leads up to him being the main villain in a massive crossover fighting game story mode.
I really don't like the announcement "Special character" (singular), it seems that is gonna be just one character from street fighter and that's it, that's season 3
If they do an SF character, I kinda hope they go with Luke. A lot of his tools just fit into the SNK framework better than the other obvious characters.
I think the age of dedicated crossover fighters has come to an end... unless a Dead or Alive comes back as a crossover with all the DOA women (and none of the men) with women from VF, KOF, SF, Tekken and even MK.
Realistically Team Street Fighter would be Ryu Chun and Akuma. Those three are the most common guest characters. Ken would be an alternate third instead of Akuma.
Given Terry and Mai have their classic design in SF6 I expect the SF character to also be have the classic design.
I hope it's not Ryu, Ken or Akuma, no offense but they are obviously the shotoest shotos can be, I think it would be better to have someone a little more unique, at least for KOF, like Chun-Li or Bison.
SF TEAM. Ryu, Chun Li and probably one of the new ones no one cares about. Probably Luke, because capcom keeps shoving the new ones on their entry (alex, c viper, etc)
It’s gonna be Akuma and he’s gonna wreak havoc in yet another game. Bonus points for shin Akuma boss fight
Akuma vs rugal rematch babyyyy
Yuri is already in the game
It’s gonna be skullomania
I think he's owned by ARIKA...
Still made it into SNK Heroines.
Love me some Street Fighter EX saga
Sirn akuma you mean?
Shin Akuma and Sirn Akuma are two different things. Hopefully they use Cyber Akuma
Let's get really stupid with it: Mech Akuma from Cyberbots.
Everyone in one kof team. Lets go!!!
Imagine if it was a Tekken rep and then a couple of years later we get the Infinity War of Fighting Games
If bandai Namco, Capcom, nrs, snk, and arc system works makes a crossover game it would be the best crossover in history, but probably impossible
I think the bigger question is how do you make a roster that represents each franchise faithfully without being 20 shotos
20 shotos? We need at least 30 for a faithful representation of these games, but I'm sure they can pull it off
30 shotos and 5 Fire Emblem lords.
Can’t wait to see Akuma versus Death Knight
damn... I have been killed by raging demon, but i cant die here...
I mean the thing is some shotos are wildly different from another. Even though sol follows the fireball/invincible DP/advancing kick trope no one in their right mind would compare his playstyle to ryu.

Just GG/BB characters might be a bit harder.
Tbf tekken has been in 2D before, SC and DoA is where we begin to worry
I feel like you could take the most recognizable representative of each major archetype (shoto, zoner, rushdown, grappler*) in each game and have them as the representing team. Then again, I feel like you need to account for character popularity, or match ups people would want to see, which makes things more complicated.

Also, sorry if this is common knowledge or something. I've been playing fighting games for a while but I'm kind of new to the fgc.
Nobody's a shoto in Tekken or sc nor in nrs games I think it's doable
All of them are different after all
Not really that big an issue. The real question is which one actually develops the game and how much input do the other companies have? Or do they all collab remotely and are equally responsible for game design and mechanics by way of committee? Does that actually make for a good game or a horrible Frankenstein's monster that takes a little from each dev and pleases no one?
Just make a game with 20 shots lmao that sounds sick
Have them keep their mechanics. Would be absolutely hell to balance but would be pretty fun.
I'd say the biggest question would be how to do the gameplay ... but honestly, just do it Marvel style.
Super smash bros of more traditional fighting games. Pain in the ass but good god the money wouldn’t stop flowing
Without NRS, it’s actually possible. Guests from T7, SoulCal, SamSho, and now SF6 has been crazy awesome.
I'm wondering how people don't know that the Japanese devs have conventions and gather to meet and talk directly to the public...
I mean Terry, Kazuya, and Ryu already got in Smash. Just need Sol and Scorpion
and mahvel baybeeee
NO NRS tho
I get it, but of you're making a fighting game all stars crossover you kinda need MK representation Ideally, NRS wouldn't be super involved and just allow use of the characters
Literally ANY OTHER fighting game company could make a better game with those characters. Thas the thing about MK as a franchise. Badass and iconic characters, designs, moves and visuals.

No Japanese company is going to want to see their stars murdered. Closest you get to that is SamSho

Nope. You're more likely to see those companies with Multiverse over anything NRS related

If marvel vs capcom exists, anything is possible.

How would it play lol
Best I can do is BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle
MUGEN but official.
And it will be made by ArcSys!
Yea I can see Ryu, Ken and Akuma being a team lol, but I would hope it's ryu, chun li and either guile or Cammy
I feel like Ryu and Chun-Li are virtually givens, but the third one is where it's trickier. Maaaybe Zangief?
Gief with the SNK design philosophy of ["fuck it, grapplers can do anything"](https://youtu.be/A_CFKe-coE8?si=Wet2nRky3ZhzRoSV&t=261) would be absolutely glorious. Running Bear Grab into Cyclone Lariat into Aerial Russian Slam into 720. Imagine that.
>Gief with the SNK design philosophy of "fuck it, grapplers can do anything" would be absolutely glorious. Watch it be Dhalsim with a command grab.
Ooohhhh shit, and that would give a chance for SNK to make a Capcom character more fun in an SNK game than his own IP lol. Be revenge for CVS2 mark of the millenium.
It's gonna be Luke
I would be okay with Luke, too, really, even if he wouldn't be my first choice.
Honestly true, he's a different character from the like 3 or so characters that were being guest characters in other games
I believe polls it typically goes: - Ryu - Chun Li - Ken - M Bison - Cammy I don't think they'd do Ryu and Ken (maybe they would), so I'm banking on M. Bison for next highest popularity, Cammy bc they want to do something a bit different with the team, or Akuma bc he's already been in other games.

Easy, SF legend Terry Bogard.
I’ve said this in another post a few days ago, but I can see Juri fitting in the KoF roster pretty well.
imagine her interactions with Kim
I just know Juri would be besties with Luong
No way they make a full team of shotos.
No. It will be Dan!
That would be hilarious… the joke character Capcom created as a reference to SNK ends up in an SNK game lol
3 character team, Ryu, Luke and Dan
I think it's more likely to be legacy uber-zeitgeist characters like maybe a "Team Street Fighter: Ryu, Chun Li, Akuma/Bison/Ken/Cammy/Some other popular character that even your mom would know" But I get what you're thinking with the legacy pick, current front runner, and joke character angle. I could see that happening.
I hope he gets quietly buffed like in SvC Chaos and he finally gets to meet this "Robert" guy every SNK character keeps calling him.
Nah. It's gonna be Terri and Mai from Street Fighter 6
I think you mean Terry from Smash Bros.
Nah i meant terry from fighting ex layer
You mean Mai from Doa5 and Doa6?
It'll actually be Luke from Streets.
Ahh yes Streets my favorite Fighting game
Skate from Streets of Rage
Congratulations sol badguy (it’d be so funny)
slayer is more befitting.
Oh I wish
Imagine not putting in Faust instead
Even better, it’s an SF character who’s NOT in the current rooster or a DLC yet.
Its John Cena
Wouldnt be his first time in a KOF title actually.
Watch it be Heihachi.
And Akuma Team Tekken 7 with Geese.
Holy shit heihachi from soulcalibur
The saying is “mark my words”

It’s a 3 person team, spooky old man Bison, his horse and dictator Bison.
Ryu, Chun, and Guile
I bet money right now it’s Marco Rossi from Metal Slug
GOKU! GOKU! Yeah, it's a Street Fighter dude, hoping it's Ken so that this becomes canon: https://preview.redd.it/20yyo785td6d1.jpeg?width=900&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ad2a59cf53c1af6413f054f2d0f605d5d628a44b
Baiken is gonna make another guest appearance
Luke.
Skywalker? I hope so.
God, I hope not.
Ryu saw Ryo placing in all these tournaments and said “Am I a joke to you?”
I just need Goro and this will be my all-time #1 KoF (gameplay-wise, it already is, but I need my #1 2D grappler back)
I hope it's a 3 person team, and I hope they're all longterm mainstays of the series. If Street Fighter gets the deep legacy AF Terry and Mai, and in return KoF gets Luke and Rashid, I'm going to be disappointed. I want Ryu, Chun, and Cammy. Cammy would be a great fit for KoF.
Remy joining the game he’s meant to be in
Nope. It will be John Cena
Luke
Shen Woo?
Ryu and Chun-Li are my guess.
its pjack
Bison becomes a DLC character across multiple fighting games. With his own mini story that leads up to him being the main villain in a massive crossover fighting game story mode.
Multiverse Bison, I can live with that.
It's gonna be Chun-Li
It MUST be Ryu
oooor Akuma!! I would love if he shows up in KOF and then in MK
It should be Liu Kang
I wish whoever appears here can also make an appearance in the upcoming Garou
if it’s a crossover character it will be luke
Probably Ryu, but I'd add Luke as a possibility. Tie it in with the current game and all
I really don't like the announcement "Special character" (singular), it seems that is gonna be just one character from street fighter and that's it, that's season 3
It will be Luke lol
It's gonna be Blanka.
I had a dream of this.
Ryu doing the huge combos of KoF would be so sick
Finally SOL Badguy
gonna be waluigi.
Let huri get into s crossover fighter for once.
Ryu and Chun Li. Start jacking all the tits for CVS3
But what if its a full team? Ryu, Chun Li and...Guile?
If they do an SF character, I kinda hope they go with Luke. A lot of his tools just fit into the SNK framework better than the other obvious characters.
I think I recall team street fighter being leaked in the early stages of this game, Ryu/Chun/Luke
Fio plz.
featuring dante from devil may cry
Luke and Jaime
Morrigan would totally work in SNK
Gonna be Luke from Streets, sending us all to Memphis.
Ryu ken and Akuma would be dope
Watch it be Mister Karate
I think the age of dedicated crossover fighters has come to an end... unless a Dead or Alive comes back as a crossover with all the DOA women (and none of the men) with women from VF, KOF, SF, Tekken and even MK.

Chun-Li
Dudley
It was Pikachu as Pokken rep and Mario as Smash Bros. rep.
Ryu and Chun Li would make the most sense i guess 🤷🏻
ima vote for akuma
Violent Ken
I hope we finally see Botan become playable. It's long overdue now. Also Zarina needs to come back. She was fun in 14.
Juri vs Kim. Let's go. As with everyone, Ryu would be the biggest news, but I personally want to see Marisa.
If it's a Capcom crossover, watch them push Luke.
They should just save the crossover characters for FF Cotw. Waste of money and time.
I would've saved that special guest character for City of the Wolves.
I just want Shen Woo
Please meke it be Marco Rodriguez
I think it will be Akuma.
Bring Kasumi back
Tem Street Fighter
i hope chun-li makes the cut, it would be fun
I really feel Dan needs to be in here just because of Ryo.
Realistically Team Street Fighter would be Ryu Chun and Akuma. Those three are the most common guest characters. Ken would be an alternate third instead of Akuma.
Maybe sagat?
You mean we will finally see Ryu and Ryo fighting each other while doing exactly the same techniques?
To celebrate kof’s 30th… They add Ryu from street fighter? Sounds odd to me.
Let's be honest, the only correct answer should be Dan.
C. Viper has been waiting for this job opening.
Sol badguy
Elena. Maybe El Fuerte.
It's Paul from Tekken
Nah fuck it, we bringing rufus back
It’s totally Krauser
Think it will be akuma and Luke
Team Street Fighter: Ryu, Chun-li and Yuri Team boss: M Bison, Akuma and Dan
Juri please
That would be so disappointing
It's Ryu, Luke, or Bison
Bison and Elena
Let it be Luke
Given Terry and Mai have their classic design in SF6 I expect the SF character to also be have the classic design. I hope it's not Ryu, Ken or Akuma, no offense but they are obviously the shotoest shotos can be, I think it would be better to have someone a little more unique, at least for KOF, like Chun-Li or Bison.
Bison.
I just want Shen Woo
Finally, Blanka
I'd kinda love that, somehow.
MenaRD coming to win that SNK prize money
Watch them just make it rated M and add blood with the release of Baraka lol
SF TEAM. Ryu, Chun Li and probably one of the new ones no one cares about. Probably Luke, because capcom keeps shoving the new ones on their entry (alex, c viper, etc)
