Sighh, these companies just can't get along now can they? How lamee! With that being said, if SE really was using SNK characters, they should have at least asked for permission

It's intrinsic to the story, which I'm sure is what Square will argue.  It would be silly to have a work about gamers in the 90s if you couldn't mention Street Fighter or Nintendo.  And, as far as I know, no one else has sued over this.  The truth is, this is free publicity.  Companies pay for product placement like this.

It's really just about SNK being greedy.  I hope a standard is set from this.

Yea, I get what your saying but its just, from a business standpoint, you just gotta ask to make sure and SE should have known this cause they have been in the anime business and business in general long enough to know that there are certain things you just gotta ask for. I am not saying this is right but at the sametime, if there really is any merit to this and SNK wins, I would perfectly understand why
