Roy and Marth in Melee led to Fire Emblem games actually getting released in the west, though. People liked the characters so much that Nintendo released Fire Emblem: Blazing Blaed in the west on GBA (just generically titled "Fire Emblem" here since it was the first to see release).
This can only help SNK's brand.
Just like when they put guest characters in Dead or Alive 5 Last Round, Dead or Alive 6, Tekken 6, Soul Calibur VI, and Fighting EX Layer.
Between the guest appearances, KOF XIV, KOF XV, SamSho, and that shitty waifu fighter this is as relevant as SNK has been in ages.
This is exactly how I feel. Nintendo's Smash audience is massive and filled with young weebs. SNK's franchises have aesthetics tailor made for their tastes.
Sakurai and Nintendo have, in my opinion, blessed SNK by putting Terry in there.
Still want Ryu Hayabusa next, though.
