Fatal Fury/YMMV: Difference between revisions

* [[Adaptation Displacement]]: Terry's [[Cartwright Curse]] in the anime trilogy, borders highly on [[Never Live It Down]]; when people think of his love life they often think of his dead love interests in the anime a lot more than Blue Mary, his perfectly alive one in the games. (Thoughthough the fact that SNK has been doing little [[Ship Tease]] between them, if any, in the ''[[The King of Fighters]]'' doesn't help.). While ''Fatal Fury: [[The Movie|The Motion Picture]]'' was not a bad movie, things like this are one of the reasons why it's a shame that ''Fatal Fury 3'' didn't get a animated adaptation. Of course, if Blue Mary was ever in a 90's ''Fatal Fury'' anime, it would get folks to wonder if that would've averted this once and for all or [[Schrödinger's Cat|made things]] [[Stuffed Into the Fridge|a whole lot worse]].

** Duck King is ''very'' popular among the [[Fandom]]. [[What Could Have Been|He would have crossed over to]] ''[[The King of Fighters|KOF]]'' [[What Could Have Been|earlier]], but lost out to Blue Mary (herself a darkhorse) for the final spot on the '''97'' Special Team. He was relegated to background status for some more games (there was even a piece of [http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/snk/images/1/1d/Kof98_58.jpg artwork] depicting Duck alongside fellow [[Put on a Bus|bus-riders]] [[The King of Fighters|Heavy D!]] and [[Art of Fighting|Ryuhaku Todoh]]), but ''finally'' joined the roster in ''XI''. [[And the Fandom Rejoiced]].

** To call Mai Shiranui this would be the understatement of the year. When excluded from the arcade ports of ''KOFKing of Fighters XI'' and entirely from ''XII''... [[Fan Dumb|you'd be better off not knowing about it]].

** Rick Strowd. Some haven't taken kindly to the fact that [[The King of Fighters|Vanessa]] started cribbing off of him (thus lowering his chances of getting into ''KOFKing of Fighters'' himself), ''especially'' when she used his Gaia's Breath [[Limit Break|P-Power]] in ''2002''. Ironically, Vanessa went on to become one of ''KOFKing of Fighters'''s ''many'' darkhorses.

** At least ''half'' of the ''Garou'' cast. Rock Howard (who, as [[The Hero]] of ''Garou'', is more of a meta example for the SNK fandom), Bonne Jenet, Gato, Hotaru, Tizoc, Khushnood Butt... In fact, the ''only'' thing that's stopping Rock from crossing into the main ''KOFKing of Fighters'' titles? SNK Playmore is "[[Executive Meddling|saving]]" him for the sequel to ''Garou''. Now ''how'' long has that title [[Vaporware|been a pipe dream]]? Just be thankful that he's made it into ''[[Capcom vs. SNK 2 Mark of the Millennium|Capcom vs. SNK 2]]'', the ''Maximum Impact'' titles, and ''[[Neo Geo Battle Coliseum]]''. Likewise, [[Word of God|interviews]] say that Butt is one of the most requested characters for the ''KOFKing of Fighters'' lineup.

** From ''[[The Movie]]'', we have Jamin. A lot of fans want to see him in an actual SNK fighter as a [[Canon Immigrant]].

* [[Memetic Badass]]: This applies more to ''KOFKing of Fighters'' than anything, but some fans see Yamazaki as the SNK equivalent to [[Chuck Norris]].

** The "OOOOOOOUUUUUUAAAAAAAAGH" sound Andy makes when you hit him. Not so prevalent here but it cropped up quite a bit in early ''KOFKing of Fighters'' titles. It got ridiculous in '''99'' onward where for no apparent reason they made it ''his KO cry''. You will hear this especially in ''2002'' and ''[[Updated Rerelease|Unlimited Match]]'', where he groans this practically ''every time you hit him''.

* [[Uncanny Valley]]: Overlaps with [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]. After you beat White, ''Dominated Mind'' shows a cutscene of him falling to the ground in defeat. He tries to get up, and when he opens his eyes, ''they're nothing but [[Hellish Pupils|blank red spheres]]''. [[High Octane Nightmare Fuel|Brrr...So terrifying]].
