Ranticoot posted... Strider Hiryu might actually have no chance, because an argument can be made that he is not a video game character, but I don't really care. He's my favorite Capcom character, in Smash or otherwise, and I'm going to kick the trends and get behind that dude. Love.
He's made as a joint collaboration with the mangaka. The game was intended to be the main attraction. If he really had difficult red tape he wouldn't been in Marvel vs Capcom or had sequels and rereleases made so easily. Thanks to Zeku, Strider is part of Street Fighter universe nowadays.
It's like Kite from Dot Hack. The game company owns and treats it as a gaming series, but it has multimedia roots.
