Any interesting ones that anybody has to share? I just found out that Kain from Garou is based on Char Aznable and Milliardo Peacecraft from Gundam. So I started this topic out of curiosity about other I-would-have-never-guessed-because-I-ain't-from-Japan references that exist in video games.

There's an anecdote like this for the majority of the Samurai Shodown characters in the first three games of the series.
"You're ten years too early" implies that one is not prepared for the task at hand or that they failed miserably at it. This makes Ryuji Yamazaki's older KoF quotes make sense as they're all super exaggerated plays on this. "You're 1,000 too early!" and such.

I'm not sure on this, but it seems that guy K9999 or whatever from King of Fighters 2001 seems inspired from that weird guy from the Akira anime.

I'm not sure on this, but it seems that guy K9999 or whatever from King of Fighters 2001 seems inspired from that weird guy from the Akira anime. That one's true. He even has the same voice actor. KUSANAGI as well has a voice from Akira, so the two characters have a special intro with each other in KOF2002. It's not so much a tribute or a refrence or even inpiration as much as it is a complete and total rip-off. SNK has pretty much made it clear he's never coming back. They even went so far as to ret-con him out of existance, (Foxy's existance in the storyline proves this... since K9999 and Angel killed her in 2K1, but she's still around and they aren't). |
