It's so kind of Max to allow them to translate instead of just using his fluent Japanese skills.

[@watermelonpizza7824]

😂😂😂😂

[@Rexaura888]

I mean someone’s gotta play translator for the viewers at home and the Twitch chat while also ensuring that nothing that shouldn’t get said at this point in development remains so. May as well be the person who is responsible for at least the latter half seeing how they’re qualified and all.

[@StabbyRocketJoe]

Oh no, too bad. I was looking forward to Max's astonishing display of his sublime Japanese vocabularies like *"Buenos gracias!"* and *"Phoenix Down me up my voluptuous ass!"* 😭

SNK beat em up legacy is one of the best in both quality and quantity, not always have been succesful going to 3D but they been picking up their stride lately it seems.

We also know that the next game that is gonna get some luv from SNK is Art of Fighting (there is also Sam Sho) so if they keep this up they'll develop the character models for a sizable portion of KOF which would put them in a position where they can streamline the development of the next KOF.
