Lygophilia Posted July 28, 2019 That's pretty N/A for me. I just grew to like everyone over time in the last 25 years. I can't really be interested in a fighting game without using randomselect. 0 Share this post Link to post

Shanoa Posted July 29, 2019 For Street Fighters it sorta vary from game to game. I don't have a fav in each games I played though. - Sodom in the Alpha serie - Q in Third Strike - Kinda torn between Zeku and G for SFV. Q's probably my overall fav from design alone.

Barry Burton Posted July 29, 2019 Street Fighter 3rd Strike Ryu is probably my favorite out of any fighter. Up close Shin-Shoryuken is the absolute tits after a huge combo. UMK3: Reptile or Scorpion MKX: Tanya (Dragon Naginata is so fun) Any of the MvC games: Spider-Man or Wolverine Classic Kiler Instinct: Jago and Spinal New Killer Instinct: Cinder SFA3: Akuma or Sagat Soul Caliber: Sophitia or Nightmare Garou MOTW: B u t t ;) The Last Blade: Yuki (I have a thing for naginatas apparently) If Smash Bros counts, Samus or Ness. 1 Share this post Link to post

Shin Godzilla Posted July 29, 2019 (edited) My list is pretty safe, but here we go. Blazblue: Hakumen. I'm not deeply attached to any BB characters, but he looks cool. :P Guilty Gear: Sol Badguy. Kind of a fun personality, and I enjoy playing as him most out of all the cast. Killer Instinct: Orchid. Cool weapons and moves, fun to play as, great theme tunes. ("Touch me and I'll break your face!") King of Fighters: Kyo Kusanagi. Great character design, satisfying to play as. Last Blade: Yuki. A modest but appealing design, enjoyable gameplay. Mortal Kombat: Raiden. IGOTASAAAAAW Primal Rage: Vertigo. I would've said Sauron, but Vertigo looks and feels more original. Samurai Shodown: Haohmaru. Few things in fighting games are more gratifying than landing his standing HP in CVS2. Soulcalibur: Siegfried. I can't go wrong hitting people with a massive sword, and I like his design. Street Fighter: Poison. Winning trans rights, throwing trans lefts--I'm down for that. Tekken: Kazuya. A stone-cold badass with some of my favourite gameplay in the franchise.

[McD] James Posted July 31, 2019 No love for World Heroes or Eternal Champions? I kinda wanted to say something about them, but I haven't played enough to properly judge. They were pretty rad though. 1 Share this post Link to post

Doomkid Posted July 31, 2019 Street Fighter = Guile for me, military look with the tall hair has always been cool to me. Mortal Kombat = Sub-Zero. The ability to freeze people is badass and I love the ninjas in MK. Soul Calibur = Voldo. I only played SC2 as a kid but the character left a permanent impression. This hardly counts, but in Super Smash Bros it’s Mario, Wario or Game and Watch. The roster is weird in modern Smash, half the fighters are generic anime swordsmen from games I don’t know that don’t fit in at all with oldschool Nintendo characters, but the totally disparate designs is humorous to me, especially when it’s a 3 foot tall plumber beating up on some realistically-proportioned 5 foot anime prettyboy with a bunch of flashy attacks. 1 Share this post Link to post

Doomkid Posted July 31, 2019 Some of the Fire Emblem characters get a pass, but I liked how Melee did it where they were secret characters and it was just Marth and Roy. Something about the clash in art styles annoys my eyes for some reason though, it’s the same reason I could never get into Kingdom Hearts. 0 Share this post Link to post
Fonze Posted July 31, 2019 Clay Fighter: Ichabod Clay for teleporting fun Virtua Fighter: Lion had a lot of great, tricky attacks, though poor reach; Jackie close 2nd for being a general beast Dead or Alive (3): Ayane wrecks shop; Bayman close 2nd with the fisticuffs. I miss games with long combos like this, though to be fair the three-quarter etc turns of the analog sticks in various rotations/starting positions was absurdly excessive in this game, but that did add a layer of skill beyond what a button masher could achieve. Mortal Kombat: Smoke for invis and other fun non-directly offensive abilities; Scorpion close 2nd for being well-balanced in various different attacks and such to keep opponents guessing. Those two aside, I also love most other chars and will happily play as them. I like to play as different chars each match to keep things fresh... and since most of them are basically the same anyway other than the meta of the character's moves to gameplay. Hot take: Sujinko was amazing in the game he was in for those stupid long combos. Remember how fun those were? :D A lot of modern fighting games, and MK is a great example of this, seem to have trended towards juggling opponents as a means to achieve combos, which I've never been much a fan of for the higher skill req than even the quarter turns or forward-backward-diagonal-weirdness of the analog sticks found in other fighting games. Apart from juggling it becomes a game of timing where each character feels, at least to me, like the typical "slow guy" character who's strength lies in timing the one big hit after another rather than getting some fun combos in. Killer Instict: Speaking of combos... Cinder, though interchangeable for the most part. MvC(2): Hayato is so fun to play as since he can dash through opponents and slash them if you also hit the attack button, which also sets you up for an immediate nice special move or combo from behind the opponents back; Wolverine close 2nd because berserker barrage Soul Calibur (2): Necrid is like a static mix of all characters in that he has some moves that transform his weapon into, say, the giant axe of Astaroth or the bo staff of kilik, using their "swing" for the move. The way he plays for me seems like he takes some of the best moves from each character and combines them all into one Hell of a tricky character to predict; Charade close 2nd because random is fun and I always felt like his stats were buffed due to the inherent handicap of his random nature. I had the sexbox version so Spawn was also a favorite, as well as Mitsurugi. Samurai Showdown: Galford and his adorable, blood-thirsty mutt Street Fighter: I seemed to play best as Guile, but never really cared much for the series Smash Bros: I only really played the 64 version and Brawl, so I can't speak much to Melee and I haven't tried anything newer than Brawl. Still, Zero Suit Samus hands down was so much fun to play as for the down-B move, jumping over opponents and cleanly giving them a powerful kick with great knockback. (or knockdown if they're in the air) For the 64, Samus had the single most damaging move with her up-A smash, which made quick work of stacking damage on healthy opponents and her backwards kick in the air sealed the deal. Link close 2nd in all games, though similar as with MK I'll happily play with almost any character and be happy. 1 Share this post Link to post
RichardDS90 Posted July 31, 2019 I rarely play fighting games but I do have a couple: Street Fighter: Ryu and Guy. Ryu is vanilla and easy to use, but Guy is just freaking cool. Playing as him in Final Fight is such a delight as well. Mortal Kombat: Scorpion and Sub Zero. Need I say more? Tekken: Been a while but Eddie is kinda meme worthy due to his well known button bashing players. 0 Share this post Link to post
