The announcement that Cristiano Ronaldo was being made into a playable character in Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves was one of the most bizarre and unexpected reveals that we’ve ever seen for a fighting game (right up until Salvatore Ganacci was also revealed to be playable in the same game).
For those that don’t know of him, Ronaldo is considered to be one of the greatest football (known as soccer here in the United States) players of all time. Indeed, it’s a little perplexing to see a real life football star squaring off against fictional characters from SNK’s Fatal Fury series.
Regardless, Ronaldo recently sat down for a quickie interview with SNK, which has been uploaded to the official SNK YouTube channel. During this interview, Ronaldo gives some insights about his thoughts on becoming a fighting game character.
“What is your take on this Fatal Fury collaboration?” asked the interviewer of Ronaldo.
“It’s great,” responded Ronaldo. “First time in a traditional fighting game. It’s a big game, so I’m happy to be part of it.”
Of course, Ronaldo appears to be a big fan of seeing his football tricks incorporated into a fighting moveset. He notes that the special moves look to be “strong, like [him].”
