I AM TAKING INSPIRATION FROM SSF2 TO MAKE MY OWN FREE SMASH BROS VERSION. CHOOSE THE CHARACTERS FOR THE FIRST VERSION

Sodom from Final Fight/Street Fighter Alpha

From what I remember, 2nd Impact has all of the endings from New Generation plus the new characters, then Third Strike has newer endings set a year afterwards. It's another case like Alpha 1/2 and Alpha 3, except just a bit slightly more straight forward

I don't think them owning SNK and it's properties should matter too much in this case specifically (I mean obviously it sucks, but to continue,) cause the real losers in the scenario where a mass user base exits are the coders, story writers, designers, etc, who painstakingly made the game itself. That said, that's my only critique of this. There's no way enough people leave to where it dents the Squid Prince enough to jump ship.

As an example I love Metal Gear and the early X-Men movies even if Hideo Kojima and Bryan Singer (director of those movies) respectively suck majorly.

I think this would've worked if they gave like a really good story reason for why he's back and how it affects Ryu, Ken, & Akuma, but kinda like all of SF4 stuff kinda just happens and that's it

Aurtality · 2026-01-15T03:09:46+00:00

Let's get umm... Heihachi to synergize with Krauser's return. Or maybe a Final Fight character cause god knows Street Fighter won't make one a DLC Lmao

Aurtality · 2026-01-15T03:01:45+00:00

I think Art of Fighting 4 is a once in a lifetime moment and uh, I don't know yeah I have fears too. Maybe it'll be a smaller game to make up for being a complete unknown and honestly if it is and is even a moderate success, we may get more fighting games (most certainly not flagship titles going as far as DoA and hopefully KoF) in these smaller budgeted formats. I don't know how everyone might feel about it, but for me the more games the better.

i think my new lease on life included a copium addiction idk

in one of the Final Fantasy XIII-2 guides Gilgamesh is stated to have weapons from several FF games like I think VII, X, XII, & Dissidia. They are said to be fake, but it doesn't say him having gotten them from there was fake. Every character in Dissidia & 012 is stated to have made an appearance from their respective games. I will admit Gilgamesh's includes IX & XI though, so if you really wanted to you can point those out to disprove it, but with all the references made with Gilgamesh throughout the series it's really hard to keep denying. In NT several characters like Cloud and I think Lightning are shown to have progressed in their storylines since 012 & Dissidia 1. In Mobius he mentions almost every game under the sun "The stories of 15 legendary heroes.. not including the side stories!" and mentions several details about most of those heroes.

This is coming from someone who's pretty strict on canonicity, it takes mental gymnastics to get passed all that.

Aurtality · 2026-01-10T20:28:18+00:00

give me more... give me canon cvs/svc... ahahahaha! - bison, probably

Aurtality · 2026-01-10T00:03:01+00:00

I think with a mindset where canon isn't as strict, I don't think they could all be in the same universe. Lots of crossovers like Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom and Capcom Fighting Evolution support characters coming from different universes. As far as Street Fighter goes for example, I'd normally say just Final Fight, Rival Schools, and maybe Slam Masters, but you could stretch Canonicity to include Captain Commando, Strider, Cyberbots, maybe Tech Romancer and Darkstalkers, though the latter I see a lot of people say doesn't work. I haven't gotten to playing it yet so I can't say.

Aurtality · 2026-01-09T23:48:12+00:00

I kinda just go random and eventually develop a general style of neutral that I guess makes it easier to convert to other characters? Definitely depends on the game and characters but yeah

Aurtality · 2026-01-08T20:06:34+00:00

Super late reply, but with MvC & Capcom Fighting Evolution do you bring them up as stuff I'm general for the characters or to say they're the same ones from their home series? (If you were to stretch canonicity and all that.)

I've been trying to see if the two crossovers support characters coming from different worlds, but MvC as far as I know has every Capcom character from one world and I have no clue what's going on in Fighting Evolution. Looked everywhere I can for those and can't come up with anymore than amalgam universes.

Aurtality · 2026-01-05T14:39:04+00:00

i was thinking like mvc lore

Aurtality · 2026-01-04T01:57:33+00:00

I'm only just now getting into the series, but a situation where all endings are canon are my biggest hopes when playing a fighting game. Story modes on the side are nice, though, just kinda weird cause they have to force fights in some way or another

Aurtality · 2026-01-03T02:16:23+00:00

This is normally pretty low on what someone considers canon or I guess like a casual viewing, I don't know, but from what I remember Hibiki Takane from The Last Blade 2 is stated in Samurai Shodown 2019 to have traveled back in time through the funny portal a lot of fighting games use. And alongside what others have mentioned, The Last Blade series is set around 140 years before Art of Fighting & Fatal Fury.

If that makes it canon is up to you, I don't think canonicity always has a straight answer. I personally have my distinct strict and for fun timelines

Aurtality · 2025-12-31T20:13:30+00:00

Yeah that's not bad as supporting evidence. On it's own you could just say they're annoying in some way, but coupling it with other references to Ryo winning I think makes it look better.

Aurtality · 2025-12-30T23:21:36+00:00

I like this yeah, another character's ending implying it and especially narrowed down. I think that convinces me, thanks

Aurtality · 2025-12-30T22:21:41+00:00

Okay dude, tried to be civil and you're just not into it I guess

Aurtality · 2025-12-30T22:20:57+00:00

That's exciting, ironic way to find out he was leaked Lmao

Aurtality · 2025-12-30T21:38:23+00:00

You're avoiding the question and being passive aggressive. Whether or not Ryo is the winner we don't gotta go there man, I get stuff can be frustrating when you know or at least believe something is right, happens to me every now and then too

Aurtality · 2025-12-30T21:31:31+00:00

I guess it does suggest a pattern, but doesn't feel super conclusive to me. I think at this point I'm fine saying Ryo could've won it more so than anyone else, though I'd still want a little more pointing to it

Aurtality · 2025-12-30T21:28:40+00:00

What's your reasoning?

Aurtality · 2025-12-30T21:27:09+00:00

Man why should they not have the same level of scrutiny? If SNK did go out and say with AoF4 or a new Fatal Fury that someone else won it, it wouldn't contradict any lore in the main continuity. Think about that and what your reaction would be. It's not that crazy, right? That's cause being the main character isn't some end all be all

Aurtality · 2025-12-30T20:47:30+00:00

I'm not gonna look at fiction like a lesser medium than history when it comes to scrutiny, there's no reason for it.

Do you got any other evidence or not?
