Shuffling through the applications, Samus raised an eyebrow in surprise at the name she came across.

"Is he really applying for Smash?" questioned the bounty hunter, garnering Link's attention.

"Who is?"

Instead of answering, Samus called in the next applicant. The man who walked in had long blond hair tied into a ponytail. He wore a pair of blue jeans, red and white sneakers, black fingerless gloves, a red denim vest over a white sleeveless shirt, and a red and white baseball cap.

"Yo!" greeted the man with a smile.

"Heh, if it isn't Terry Bogard," stated Samus with a smirk. "So what brings SNK's poster boy here?"

"A guy can't enter a tournament to test his skill?" replied Terry with a laugh. "From what I hear, Ryu is already a Smash Fighter."

"And you wish to fight him, don't you?" questioned Link.

Terry crossed his arms over his chest. "It's been a very long time since I've faced him. This might be the only chance I'll get."

"You do know that Smash isn't a traditional fighting game, right?" questioned Samus in a deadpan tone.

Terry let out another laugh. "That wouldn't deter me that much. As long as I can fight strong fighters, I can adapt!"

"Well, Ryu should be in the training room right now," said Link. "If you want, you can go there and spar with him."

"Oh yeah? Looks like I'll get my rematch after all."

"Did you still want to apply for Smash though?" asked Samus, holding up Terry's application.

"You bet! Ryu's not the only one I want to fight!" exclaimed Terry with a grin. "Anyway, I better get going and find Ryu. Wish me luck!"

The blond fighter left the room to search for Ryu. Once he was gone, Samus turned to Link.

"So what do you think his chances of getting in are?"

Link gave off a shrug. "Not really sure, but I do hope he does get in."

"Really? Why?" asked Samus, surprised. She was then put off when a wolfish, almost feral grin appeared on the swordsman's face.

"I want to fight him myself."

Samus had to hold back a groan. She really needed to talk with Zelda about Link's interactions with other "wolves".

CHAPTER END

-:-

I don't think I had any SNK characters in the first Interview fic, but here's Terry Bogard from Fatal Fury, requested by The Swordslinger.

It would actually be a shock if an SNK character got in Smash. Compared to the third-party companies that already have a character in Smash, SNK isn't that high up on the video game hierarchy.
