Talk:Mr. Karate

Alternate Mr. Karate in KOFXIII? Are you kidding me?
Mr. Karate is already an alternate costume for Takuma in The King of Fighters XIII, so what's the point in having two different versions of Takuma/Mr. Karate when both characters are exactly one and the same??? 50.89.60.142 07:05, December 11, 2011 (UTC)

The Mr. Karate DLC plays a lot differently and has different animations/stance/moves. That's why. From what I see he functions like his Mr. Karate form in SVC Chaos. What's the point of Nests Kyo or Iori with fllames when they are still Iori and Kyo? Well, like Iori with flames and NESTS Kyo these are meant to be like the EX characters we've seen in RBFF and KOF in that they are technically the same characters but have different move sets. I for one can't wait to play as the Karate Goblin as well as have his stage and music. Sabishii Kage 07:15, December 11, 2011 (UTC)

Mr. Karate II is not just who you think. Outfit from "Buriki one" in a series "The King of Fighters: Maximum Impact" - an alternative costume from Ryo Sakazaki, who is Mr. Karate from "Buriki one". Completely different character Mr. Karate, that in the series "The King of Fighters: Maximum Impact 2" is presented also as Ryo Sakazaki (scene before the fight with Mr Karate Yuri Sakazaki, where Yuri mistook him for his brother). And in the game as a character called Mr. Karate. It is clear that Mr. Karate is represented in the game as Mr. Karate, but the official costume of the series "The King of Fighters: Maximum Impact 2" his father would come later, ie, in "The King of Fighters XIII" for consoles. From this we must conclude that in Game 3 Mr. Karate and 4 Ryo Sakazaki:

1) Ryo Sakazaki

2) Ryo Sakazaki in an alternate costume as Mr. Karate II from "Buriki one"

3) Mr. Karate (aka Ryo Sakazaki) as Mr. Karate from "The King of Fighters XIII" or "Art of Fighting"

4) Mr. Karate (aka Ryo Sakazaki) in an alternate costume as Mr. Karate from "Fatal Fury: Wild Ambition"

- But the Mr. Karate in KOF XIII isn´t Ryo. Is Takuma. And in Wild Ambition, more than an alternate costume, that Ryo is actually the Mr. Karate II. Kein Sylvan (talk) 15:58, November 22, 2016 (UTC)

Name origin
In the arcade version of AOF, Mr. Karate's name only appears as "?" under his lifebar. However, if you select him in versus mode, you can clearly hear the announcer say "Mister Karate". So apparently this was his name all along, and not a fan-made name later made official like the article states. -- EterTC ( Talk to Me ) 01:08, November 22, 2016 (UTC)

- In versus mode? Are you talking about a console version of the game? Like the SNES o NeoGeo console? Kein Sylvan (talk) 15:54, November 22, 2016 (UTC)
