What?

Let's see here:

King of Fighters:
Kim Kaphwan
Terry Bogard
Shingo Yabuki
Billy Kane (2002/2003)
Benimaru Nikaido
Iori Yagami
Kyo Kusanagi

Soul Calibur II:
Nightmare
Cassandra

Soul Calibur III (my favorite fighting game):
Siegfried Schtauffen
Raphael Sorel
Lizardman

I have a hard time picking a character in SCIII because when it first came out, I represented on Siegfried. After all, Nightmare was my jam back in SCII, and Siegfried sort of fit. The problem is that in the months since then, my SCIII game as a whole has gotten much better, but my Siegfried has hit a wall. I picked up Raphael, and I play much better as him. I still like Siegfried more though, so I'm currently trying to get bring my skill level with Siegfried up to par with Raphael. I also don't like what they did to Cassandra, at all. They made Lizardman really fun, however.

Guilty Gear X/XX/XX#R/XXS:
Ky Kiske
Chipp Zanuff
Testament
Eddie

Street Fighter:
Street Fighter, I feel, is one of the worst fighting game franchises around. I realize how much it's contributed to fighting games as a whole, but the games just aren't fun to me. And the character designs just don't appeal to me. There's no one character in SF who I've ever looked at and wanted to get good with. The only SFs I ever even consider playing are Third Strike and Alpha 3, but even those I only consider okay. I used to rock Ken Masters (because he's the only SF character who isn't totally lame), but then I met my friend Mike and he's way better with him. Another friend of mine represents on Akuma, so I took up Ryu in order for the three of us to have some sort of rivalries going on. I like Vega too, but I am horrible with him.

Tekken:
Remember everything I said about Street Fighter? Pretend I said it again, but about Tekken. It's just not fun to play, and none of the characters really click with me. Jin is okay, and I like Lee Chaolan, but not in any sort of legitmate fashion. He's a walking joke, so it's hard to take him seriously. Then again, I legitmately play Shingo and Dong Hwan, so...yeah, whatever.

Super Smash Bros.:
Link
Falco
Fox
Roy

Old Skool Mortal Kombat:
Noob Saibot
Reptile

Capcom vs SNK 2:
Terry Bogard
Rock Howard
Iori Yagami
Ken Masters

Terry Bogard
Kim Dong Hwan

T4 Jin is unstoppable. But very boring as he's more or less a one trick pony. T5 Jin is all about poking. A lot of variety but still boring if you're more into forcing whiffs and hitting for CH, finishing fights quickly. I dunno anything about T4 Marduk but in T5, the guy is frickin' awesome. The staple VTS mixup between tackle and low is only the beginning of the opponents worries as they have to contend with his db+1+2 launcher which crushes so many moves, it's GG right there. I reckon Marduk's awesome fun to play. I suck with him though.

I'm pretty sure that I was saying she rocks. If you're talking to Alixsar, I had assumed he said that he didn't like what they did because people are abusing her now (since his list of characters doesn't include Cassy)

Street Fighter: Ryu or Akuma

in tekken games (tekken 4 and 5 are the only fighting games that i own.) nearly eveyrone is good. eddy/christie is good because of the variable moves that make them hard to block and do loads of damage. hworang is good because of good speed and combos (baek is good too but i like hworang better.). brian though. isnt very good for huge combos but he is extremely powrful and quite fast. he is my best character.

I think you're kind of missing the point. Neither of those quotes had any mention of whether the character was good or not. They were expressing distaste towards a play style. I don't get on with Shiek at all, but she's the best in Melee. See where I'm going with this?

edit: Previous poster, you couldn't be more wrong.

...yeah, you know what he said? It's true. I realize that Cassandra is good, I just don't have fun playing with her anymore. I don't like the feel of it. The only character even close to her that I like playing as is Lizardman, and I think the only reason why I like him so much is because he can literally bite people's faces off.

Wait, am I right, or is he? Because it could be interpreted both ways.

digimon rumble arena: renemon

Ah, thanks for that dude, I'd completely forgotten DOA.

Hwoarang isn't fast at all. He plays a freestyle confusion kind of game. Sure the guy never has two feet on the floor, but if you look at a pro Hwoarang, you'll notice the timing between attacks is in fact quite slow...although very tricky and annoying. :mad2:

For the record, I was just talking for the sake of showing off my knowledge (see I've just done it again up there ^) xD. I wasn't criticising anyone for not using a specific character or anything.

Earlier I had said that Marduk is awesome T5 but that I sucked with him. So it's the same thing really. I just don't click with that guy but if forced to play him, I would know how. Although Alixsar never said he sucked with Cassandra, just that he didn't like her.

Besides, it's retarded to go by tiers these days. Especially in Namco games where the characters are (to an extent) pretty balanced and low tiers and can own the top tiers with an adequate amount of skill, love and dedication.

Oh, a custom character. What about Necrid in 3 and Siegfried in 2?

Necrid is in the X-box version, and Siegfried is Nightmare.
O wait, Necrid in 3? I have no idea...

Necrid wasn't in 3, Sigfried wasn't in 2.

Lessee...how many do I have? Most of them are MK. What can I say? I love the blood!

"Mortal Kombat: Deception"
- Mileena
- Dairou
- Sindel

"Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance"
- Frost
- Kano
- Mokap (go figure!)

"Soul Calibur III"
- Yeong-Seung
- Kilik
- Tira

"Soul Calibur II"
- Ivy
- Seung Mina
- Xianghua

"Mortal Kombat Trilogy (PSX)
- Goro
- Shao Kahn
- Kintaro

"Super Smash Brothers"
- Link
- Samus
- Mario

"Super Smash Brothers: Melee"
- Zelda/Shiek (equal with both)
- Link
- Samus

"Mortal Kombat I"
- Liu Kang
- Raiden
- Johnny Cage

"Tekken (whole)"
- Jin (DUUUUURRR)
- Lee
- Nina

In most games I would play as pretty much any character, but for these few games I do have a preference:

Street Fighter 3: Makoto

Soul Calibur 2+: Raphael, Setsuka

King of Fighters: Rock Howard when available, K' (my avatar/sig pic)

CvsSNK2: Rock Howard, Ibuki, Sakura

Dead or Alive: Hitomi, Hayabusa

Smash Bros: Marth, Link (both characters always in white costume)

Mortal Kombat: Sub Zero (cuz he's blue. Don't like the games much otherwise)

Guilty Gear: Venom, Ky Kiske

Bloody Roar: Long

Tekken: Raven

Idk if Siegfried was in 2 or 1 or 3. Well I'm good with him. Necrid? that was probably a typo. He's in 2 and 1. Am I right?

No, actually, you're still wrong. :p

Siegfried was in 1 and 3, Necrid was only in 2. (Oh, and Mirage? Necrid was in all versions of SC 2.)

Well, if you want to be nitpicky, Siegfried could be considered to make a cameo in 2. Nightmare's 3rd costume is 100% human, so you could consider it Siegfried. Im jus sayin.

And if you want to get super nitpickey, Siegfried was in Soul Edge/Blade. He was unlockable in Soul Calibur, was a costume for Nightmare in Soul Calibur 2, and was a full blown character in Soul Calibur 3.

And the less said about Necrid the better.

Super Smash Bros. Melee

• Young Link

Tekken series:

I'm a complete badass when using Nina and she has also been my favourite character since the first Tekken game came out back in the days. Other characters I frequently use are Anna, Julia, Lee, Lei, Xiaoyu, Yoshimitsu, Kazuya, Asuka etc. I'm generally good with all of the Tekken characters except for Feng and Steve Fox.


Soul Calibur series:

I'm also generally good with most of the characters in the Soul Calibur games, but the characters I use the most are: Taki, Ivy, Kilik, Seung Mi-Na, Cassandra, Mitsorugi etc.


Dead or Alive series:

My favourite is without a doubt Helena followed by Kasumi, Ein, and Lei Fang.

lets see...
Mortal Kombat:
Ermac and Subzero for their really cheesy attacks
Sindel

Tekken:
Mokujin (when he's someone i don't use it's easier to do it as mokujin rather than picking the character manually)
Nina--I can kick anyone's ass with Nina on tekken 3. Not as well on the others though
Anna
Asuka
Xiaoyu
Law
Paul
Kuma (I love customizing him on 5, you can do all sorts of neat things)
Heihachi
Gon (gon with the wind!!)
Rodger
and I can't remember his name but there was this doctor dude in tekken 3 that I liked.

SSBM:
Kirby
Dr. Mario

Dr. Boskonovitch?

I love using Charade in SC2 as well. I can use everyone to a decent level (my Maxi, Yoshimitsu, Yunsung and Mitsurugi are more reliant on spacing and smart defense as opposed to actually knowing how to use them xD).

Mokujin in Tekken? It would help if I could tell who the hell he was impersonating every time xD.

Mokujin is a badass in Tekken. The only times I have problems is because there are a few times when the basic stances screw things up, like Kazuya's and someone elses being very similar. Although once I beat Xiayou in a 5 second perfect without knowing who I was. I didn't figure who it was until the last hit, and by then she was dead. (It turned out to be Paul. That was before I tried to learn to use him, too.)

Edit: Wait, it wasn't Mokujin, it was Combot, but y'know. Same thing.

You can talk about your Charade and your Combot and your Mokujin and your Mokujin Wife, but everyone knows that the best "Every Character in One" character is Olcadan. Have you seen this guy? He has an owl for a head.

AN OWL.

Mokujin is pretty cool, but he can't stand up to a guy with an owl head.

Tekken series:

Favorites:
Paul
Kazuya
Jun
Yoshimitsu

Honourable mentions:
Michelle
Nina
P. Jack/Gun Jack
Lee
Armor King
