Just sayin'. I mean, from FF3 to RB2 he was there, but no one ever mentions him. Was he too out of place in Fatal Fury?

He is a little odd, but, I liked him and he kind of fits in with Tung Fu Rue and Jubei Yamada to me, aesthetically. He'd arguably work better in a Samurai Showdown or Last Blade game, but Caffeine Nicotine already fills that niche in the former. An archaic design in a modern setting is kind of silly, but, I think it works for him.

It's funny, but I always felt that way. Especially in the Real Bouts he feels like a post March '21 member, talking 'bout 'good times'. Should've been an FF3 one-shot or at best some poor guy's bastardised offspring in MotW.

I do love his music theme, though - his RB2/Special version anyway.
I was just about to refer this as well as soon as I've read the thread title.

Any Sokaku's BGM are top notch. But stage-wise, FF3 one takes the cake.
