And we also have to consider that the Sheik who owns Cristiano's current team is the same guy who pulled SNK out of trouble by pouring massive amounts of money into the company, so it's all a very well-thought-out plan.

[@nyrva2876]

You over exaggerate his impact in a fighting game... The same way someone that is not into FPS games wouldn't buy one just because his favorite singer is in it. Also fighting game players don't want him (he can't fight). In kof, the sports team worked because they're fictional characters and fun to play. Here it's just marketing BS. Negan was a fictional character too. I can't recall a single famous person bringing large amount of people to a game where it didn' t make sense like in this present case. The game moonwalker for example, starring Michael Jackson, was nothing more than a curiosity. And MJ is like 10 times C. Ronaldo will ever be.

[@ExRevelion]

@@nyrva2876 Hi, South-American/Football enthusiast here I think you're quite understimating the deal here... It's not uncommon that famous figures can bring out a lot of attention in vidya in general. Take Fortnite's random character collabs or the inclusion of Keanu Reeves in Cyberpunk as examples: Those sold copys of those games/DLCs by themselves, and that without counting things as cameos or standalone games (Like the older Michael Jackson ones on arcade) C. Ronaldo is known worldwide, and it has an even higher impact than other sport names like MJ or Lebron (Since Soccer is the most watched sport around the world). The news about him on FF are blowing things up on media here; People is talking a ton about this, they wanna know what's gonna happen about him in the game (And let's not talk about Portugal's reaction, his homeland. Is even on the news there) Those are a lot of potential buyers/players willing to try out the game for just having his name on it, just like MJ or Negan did. It's quite a big deal, honestly. (Almost forgot this: Gameplay-wise, a soccer player sounds cool as fuck. It reminds me of concepts like the baseball player from Persona Arena or the guy on KoF that played basketball)

[@RafaelOliveira-kf6cs]

@@nyrva2876 You're using Moonwalker as an example, but we're talking about a game based on a movie from the 90s, an era before the internet was functional worldwide. I understand Michael's popularity, and I'm not questioning that, but it was a time when the overwhelming majority of gamers were children. The perspective was different. Nowadays, video game consumers, those who invest money in this hobby, are adults; back then, to get a game, your parents had to buy it for you. The consumer profile has changed. And even if you say, "he's not a fighter, gamers don't want him," the popularity of this guy is something no current athlete can match (maybe only Messi); these are numbers that can't be ignored. I emphasize again: if even a small portion of his audience turns their attention to the game, that alone will create a huge marketing impact. Today, with social media and instant communication, the attention that a figure of such relevance can attract is incomparable to what was possible in the 90s. This ability to generate buzz and curiosity around a game release is something that very few personalities can offer.

MJ was popular but only in the English speaking world, and Western Europe. Basically America & Western Europe, and some parts of Asia that localized his music. A lot people in the world don't even understand what he sung about, again language barrier. Not to mention someone like Taylor Swift is even more popular than MJ, but still nowhere near Ronaldo levels. Soccer is literally played in every country in the world, and doesn't matter what language you speak.

This has to be the biggest brain move I have ever seen for marketing a video game. To people who are unaware of how massive Ronaldo is: he's literally the person with the highest amount of followers in all Instagram and in less than a week after creating his personal KZbin channel he reached 50 MILLION subscribers.

[@leonheart4464]

My prediction is that Ronaldo will be one of the random non playable characters you fight in story mode. Maybe he is in a football stadium or park. Or what I really hope. Is that he is present in one of the mini games like the bottle breaking one. He could be the coach in a soccer related mini game!

[@jjbruh831]

It's funny that Roberto's kit is almost the same design that Ronaldo's current team wears 😅

That Saudi Arabian money ain't no joke 🤷‍♂️

Now I need Shaq Fu in Street Fighter

[@ariloulei814]

"There are going to be old angry fans saying 'This is bullshit, where is Duck King'" Okay Max you didn't need to call me out like that. Ronaldo Soccerman is cool too but I do want Duck King to come back in some way, give him a cool student like Joe has.

[@SeelkadoomandJokic00]

Remember when Barack Obama was officially in a Street Fighter game? That was nutty. That's what this is.

[@yellowscarlightningscream8347]

That SIUUUU celebration will be so toxic :D

In short words: SIIIIIIIIUUUUUUUU!!!!

[@Benom_plays]

People who don't even play fighting games will buy this just for Ronaldo, smart move

[@RinoDino64]

As someone who's from Portugal, I don't see many people over here playing SNK games. I see people playing games like Street Fighter and Tekken, but Fatal Fury and KOF are not really talked about much. With that being said, I feel like if Cristiano Ronaldo is a playable fighter in this game, this is exactly what SNK needs to break into other markets and become more revelant over here in Portugal, and potentially Europe as a whole. I can easily see posters of the game, appearing in stores, being put with a giant sticker saying "Featuring Cristiano Ronaldo as a fighter" or something along those lines. The funny thing is, I'm one of the few Portuguese people who doesn't give a shit about football, so I'm more so excited for his potential inclusion because it would give us Portuguese representation, something that fighting games (or even games in general) barely have, if at all.

[@velinnedelchev2698]

Just can't imagine Ronaldo and Perfect Block in one sentence.

[@Sperium3000]

This video is gonna be super funny if it turns out it's just some skins of a stage with Ronaldo in the background like Snoop Dogg in Tekken Tag 2.

[@DoctorKarkand]

CR7 will be voicing Freeman in the next character reveal

[@juliorabello]

Not even Mike would be as big as CR7. He is the most followed person on instagram. The comparsion is, NO JOKE, if TAYLOR SWIFT joined tekken 8.

[@dct124]

Adding Shaq Fu to any fighting game would be insane

[@Cluter]

What being owned or employed by Saudi Arabia will do.

[@gabrieliatarelli]

An SNK insider told me the next guest for fatal fury will be Borat. Flash news

[@ChrisBabaganoosh]

People tend to not understand how much Latin America fucking LOVES SNK. This is like if Michael Jordan got into Street Fighter 2 back in the 90s.

[@pablocasas5906]

@@ChrisBabaganoosh but technically Cristiano Ronaldo is not Latin American, he's from Portugal. Now, he's famous worldwide, including in Latin America, but he has only played in Europe and now in Saudi Arabia

[@ErnieWick]

The right equivalent of these would be Messi but even then Cristiano still is massive in Latin America.

[@aegisreflector1239]

Hell probably be an announcer and have a soccer themed stage for him

[@TheKidDoc81]

Ronaldo is currently playing for Al-Nassr FC (Saudi Arabian football club). Who owns SNK again?
