His profile explains that he “uses his time off to visit South Town to hone his new football skills”, declaring that the techniques he has developed as a footballer “make him an unstoppable force, even to seasoned fighters.”

Clad in the Portugal national team colours and sporting the number seven on his shirt, Ronaldo kicks the ball along with his dominating physique to his advantage when fighting.

Ronaldo isn’t the only new character in the Fatal Fury game – he’ll be joined by legendary Street Fighter characters Chun Lee and Ken Masters, among others.

The Cristiano Ronaldo character is voiced by Juan Felipe Sierra.

In this new “virtual reality game,” the 40-year-old is capable of performing a number of special moves, including the Echo Shot, Field Dominator and the Slide Tackle..
