  1. Correction… Number 3 and 9 Every Freaking Characters on the Rosters! (Well, Almost every…)
    Of course they based on real-life people, It's a gamification of Three Kingdoms and Sengoku period for crying out loud!
    It like saying that the characters in sid meier's civilization is based on real-life people. Well, Duh…

  3. Mario… I think he was based off a security guard who worked at a Nintendo warehouse. Not as Glamorous as Sonic's Origin, But Mario is more of a Legend than Sonic.

  4. putting characters from sengoku basara, dynasty warriors, and samurai warriors is kinda cheating i think. i mean they are obviously based on character from their legends.
    it's pretty much what you said about assassin's creed characters

  5. I hope they do a list on Comic Book Characters inspired be Real People. I'd like them to talk about how John Constantine is based on Police frontman Sting. Or even how Darkseid as a ruthless dictator and conqueror was based on Adolf Hitler. Or how Professor X and Magneto were based Dr Martin Luther King Jr and Malcolm X, respectively.

  7. I knew Dr. Wily looked like Albert Einstein! I found it very peculiar that he was modelled after him. I didn't even know he spoke German accent. Never heard voice acting for any of the games. I mainly played Fangames that were once online. Wait Sonic? I definitely didn't see him coming. As soon as I saw Michael Jackson on the thumbnail I was like wait a minute are they going to mention Escape the Ayuwoki or something because that's heavily inspired by Michael Jackson. even his name is a reference to Smooth Criminal
