Talk:Ryo Sakazaki

This isn't really notable but
Ryo riding his bike in Art of Fighting is a somewhat popular internet meme for the Japanese fandom. It particularly makes fun of Ryo's quote, "I just gotta use my Haou Shoukou Ken!" Ever since then, it's hard for them to take him seriously (with good reason I guess). Since I don't want to really mention this in his article -because I'm not sure if anyone really cares- I'll spam links of this "epic" here. It's pretty funny stuff either way.

I'm pretty sure Cybernetics members have seen at least one of these though. Sake neko 08:27, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Apparently Ureshino was aware of this gag as well since he put it into the KoFEX2 ending for Ryo's edit ending. http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm204286 Sake neko 20:05, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

From Fatal Fury Special. The video also has an audio interview for his character but he doesn't really say anything that interesting. Sake neko 10:47, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

Resemblance
Guys, other wiki's trivia will say a specific character looks like other game's character. But why don't you guys do that? As I proved it, Ken from Street Fighter looks like him! Nathan900130 07:57, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Because that's the pretty subjective trait in wikia that I don't want to spread over here. It's very biased and most people who post such things only consider whatever their culture is exposed to (as opposed to more fitting comparisons from the character's original source of inspiration). I'd only consider putting it if it's really obvious and unavoidable (ie: Dan with Ryo and Robert).


 * Besides, wouldn't you rather read more interesting trivia from fans or developers? Y'know, something that doesn't fit in either their story or fighting style section? Believe it or not, not every fighting game fan knows that you can blow King or Yuri's tops off in AOF 2 and the first two KOFs. Sake neko 18:34, April 29, 2010 (UTC)


 * So are we all just ignoring the fact that Ryo is an obvious Ryu knockoff? TheSwedishElf (talk) 09:56, October 18, 2016 (UTC)
 * If we noted that Ryo is an obvious Ryu knockoff, then the list of comparisons regarding "so-and-so and such-and-such" would be pointlessly endless and, like I said years ago, pretty polarized to a single perspective.


 * From a realistic view, AAA video game studios have been copying whatever is popular at the time for years, even before the fighting game boom. Like how many "Minecraft clones", "GTA clones" or "The Last of Us clones" have popped up in recent memory that you can name? Or before fighting games exploded, how many "Mario clones" or "Metroidvania clones" can you name?


 * I'd say it's better to value your time. Don't bother. Sake neko (talk) 05:06, October 19, 2016 (UTC)

Ryo Sakazaki & Mr. Karate II
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"
