Germans Love David Hasselhoff/Video Games: Difference between revisions

** Jon Talbain from ''[[Darkstalkers]]''. Considered rather minor by the Japanese, compared to Morrigan, Demitri, Felicia, Lilith, and Anakaris, but has a very large following in America. Needless to say, they are very eager to see Talbain get featured in [[Capcom vs. Whatever|crossovers]], but the Japanese don't get it.

*** However, Ryoma Niitsuma, the developer of ''[[Marvel vs. Capcom 3]]'', notes that than if he had more development time, [http://iplaywinner.com/news/2010/10/23/niitsuma-disconfirms-characters-for-mvc3-but-gives-some-hope.html Jon would have been his pick for the series' fourth rep.] <ref>For reference, the three ''Darkstalkers'' characters in ''MvC3'' are [[Ensemble Darkhorse|fan-faves]] Morrigan, Felicia, and Hsien-Ko.</ref> Perhaps his fans may be [[Throw the Dog a Bone|getting a bone thrown their way]] soon... [[Yank the Dog's Chain|which got cruelly yanked the moment]] ''[[Yank the Dog's Chain|Ultimate Marvel Vs Capcom 3]]'' [[Yank the Dog's Chain|additions are revealed... and Talbain is nowhere in sight.]]

** This trope is the reason why Choi Bounge from ''[[The King of Fighters]]'' who is rather unpopular and reviled (not as much as Bao, but still reviled) everywhere, managed to get into ''[[Capcom vs. Whatever|SNK vs. Capcom: Chaos]]''. Why? Because Koreans consider him top-tier, and love him. More than in-universe Korean hero Kim Kaphwan (who's also featured). So they added Choi to cater to the Korean fans.

** Not that he's lacking popularity in Japan, but from ''[[BlazBlue]]'', Iron Tager seemingly gets more fanbase in America, helped with the [[Values Dissonance]] of how manliness is better valued in America and he's probably the second manliest character in the game (after Bang) as well as helped with some American-exclusive memes like "REAL SOVIET DAMAGE" and "GIGANTIC TAGER!" (The Japanese version instead censors with [[Kenji Nomura]] yelling "Gauntlet Hades" thus missing out the joke), and one of the more higher-tier male voice actor ([[Jamieson Price]]) to voice him, making him seeing more fanbase in America.
