So...
S = Square-Enix
B = ?
K = Konami
C = Capcom

Maybe?

Heh, that's not a bad guess maybe.

Hmm, B for Bandai Namco maybe?

B is Bandai Namco

the rest are right, the joke is that the characters all have the Japanese word for company in their names.

Those descriptions seem pretty accurate. Referencing Square's Spirits Within and their a;most bankruptcy. Bandai Namco publishing a lot of anime-tie in games with tons of costume DLC and those weird purchases like in Tales where you can buy levels. Not sure if anyone ever buys those. Konami's Dance Dance Revolution and Metal Gear Solid. Capcom being gluttonous I guess just means how they keep pumping out different versions all the time like 10 versions of Street Fighter and expanding everywhere. Now we need a villainous trio of EA, Activision, and Ubisoft to round everything out.

Derp. I even considered Namco, but I keep forgetting it's actually Bandai Namco now ("now" being a...very long time) since I never really play any of their games.

The whole thing about toys and heroes kinda gives Bandai away.

I like that B-sha and K-sha. And how convenient, the S-sha girl even looks like a Final Fantasy character.
