I once again have no idea who this is but he actually looks like he belongs in a KOF game unlike the soccer player guy.

I do find it a bit funny that none of these celebrity characters are voicing themselves though.

Gotta be honest, I've never heard of this Salvatore Ganacci dude, though it seems he one made an animated music video that seemed inspired on acton anime. Still, if I were to imagine him as an original SNK fighting game character I'd say his moveset looks kind of original, we had musicians/dancing fighters in previous Fatal Fury game like Duck King and Bob Wilson, though there's a bigger emphasis on the music aspect. The one thing I don't like is his outfit, his face at least doesn't look as bland as Ronaldo's, maybe due to his haircut and glasses, but that sportswear makes him look kind of generic, Shingo also wore a sort of sports uniform in KOF XV, but he looked better, and at least Ronaldo's football uniform was more colorful.

Well, even if both Ronaldo and Salvatore know how to speak in English, they're aren't voice actors, it's very awkward hearing athletes and musicians trying to act.

He's an industry plant, that's all you need to know.

Honestly industry plant is putting it nicely. He's a guy who MCs Saudi Arabian golf events and he's in the game because the Saudi prince bankrolling SNK decided to turn this finale of the 30 year Fatal Fury legacy into a vanity project lol

Considering there wouldn't be an SNK anymore anymore without them I think it's an acceptable trade off to let them have a few vanity slots.

At least they didn't pick anyone cringy like Jack Black or Chappell Roan or something.

Kind of surreal to see an actual person in the game, but hey, he looks fun and we've got Italian Sean Chiplock!

Oh yeah they just instead went with the guy with multiple rape allegations.

(I'm referring to Ronaldo, not Ganacci).
