The node characters just do n’t terminate

With Street Fighter 6 delivery in Terry Bogard and Mai Shiranui as guest characters , it was no surprise that fans began to inquire who from other serial would get together Fatal Fury : City of the Wolves . In a late trailer , we got our result , but it was n’t someone anyone expected : the prevue reveals that world - illustrious soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo will be included in City of the Wolves in some capacity .

“ A legendary participant joins a legendary game ” is save in the brief 30 - second trailer . That , a visual of a association football field , and a doorway is all we really get . There is no look at Ronaldo whatsoever . The threshold with the Fatal Fury : City of the Wolves logotype is depict get a thrashing , hold back whoever is render to break through from the other side — presumptively Ronaldo . This seems to hint at Ronaldo as a playable character , but it could just as likely be him get in City of the Wolves as a guest of a different sort .

While it may seem like the fighting game crossovers are generate out of hand , with games now sport guest “ theatrical role ” from real spirit , this is scarce the first prison term real the great unwashed have “ appear ” as themselves in a scrap secret plan . Street Fighter 6 features observer and fame guest as themselves in its veridical - time observer feature article . It remains to be see if City of the Wolves will have anything similar , but if it does , Ronaldo could just as easily be a commentator rather than a full - shove off combatant . This would also explicate why the trailer does n’t show Ronaldo himself , instead only dropping his name .

It ’s also worth noting thatthe SNK Official YouTube account , which has thus far uploaded all the City of the Wolves character trailers , has n’t yet uploaded their own version of the “ Ronaldo trailer . ” If and when the write up does upload its own laggard , it may have more entropy on exactly how Ronaldo will be incorporated into Fatal Fury : City of the Wolves . Ronaldo , though , has shared the video on his own Instagram account , with the message “ Something exciting in the devising ! ” indicating this is the real sight and not an implausibly belated April Fool ’s prank .

Until we have more data , Ronaldo ’s arrival is one to watch out for . It may signal the addition of reviewer , or it may be the beginning of City of the Wolves ’s own peck of “ crossover ” “ characters , ” going so far as to cross over with tangible life . With such a silly feeling in play , the next silly inquiry naturally becomes : when will real life track over with Fatal Fury , so that Terry Bogard becomes real ?
