Why He Rocks

 * 5) *In fact, he also appeared in Super Smash Bros. for the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U and will return in Ultimate, making it the first time he met the cast of Nintendo other than the ones from Fire Emblem such as Marth.
 * 6) He trains to become strong enough so he can fight against his greatest enemies, M. Bison and Akuma.
 * 7) He started the trend of competitive fighting games, along with Scorpion for horror-based fighters.
 * 8) He never backs down from becoming a better martial artist.
