favorite fighting game character (man i hope no one did this topic before)

SNK is gods of writing storylines. Period. Makes it sad that they never made RPGs, they would have been awesome.

SNK beat 'em up's don't have enough good character's imo. There are too many quirky fighters in there game's. Kyo, Iori, Terry, Mai and Kim are the only one's I ever use. I've tried other's but could never get to grip's with there fighting styles.

But then I grew up playing Street Fighter games. I didn't start playing KoF game's until a few years ago on MAME, and those character's I mentioned I think are all very similar to Street Fighter's character's.

>>> They made Crystalis right?
As for fighting game characters. My fav are Basara Kubikiri and Tachibana Ukyo from Samurai Spirits.

I prefered SNK cause of 1. the storyline and 2. the characters
Were there more SNK characters or Capcom Characters????

[Lionx]

Yea but some SNK characters are only a 1 time show i think, i forget..wasnt the USA Team in KoF only used once? And also the New Face Team in another KoF was also once. However they do have good characters like Terry, Andy, Kyo, and Iori...the others compared to their stories just seem pale in comparison i guess. I dont know @_@ But i do like the story of KoF more.

O yea BTW Sagat is the most unbalanced character ever...>_> that is also accepted by many normal players.

[Erdrick Holmes]

SNK always had tons of characters. In every King of Fighters there was atleast 30+ characters.

Yes, Sagat is not only an unbalaced fighter but a cheap one at that, play against him on Single player in any of the games wirh him, all he does is Tiger Shots.

(coughs)
*in sagats voice* TIGER SHOT!!!

[NM]

Actually Sagat never says "Tiger Shot." He only says "Tiger."

[Lionx]

No he goes Tiger Blow >_> or something...

He moves fast for a person his size and his hits HURT not to mention his supers are wicked..his top fireball super is an anti air, and his low one hits just about any Chibi Character there is...plus his other kick and uppercut supers do tons of dmg and can make even someone jumping back from it get hit =/

I don't really care for the 3D Street Fighters so I didn't know that.

Also Sagat is one of the easiest characters to beat when your playing in single player. It's so obvious that he's just gonna throw Tiger shots at you so just jump 'em and give him a good kick in the face or just do a triple on him, and watch his health bar empty. The later option being the most enjoyable.

As a character to use, he's not upto much either. He has a poor jump height so struggles to clear fireballs and you can see his move's coming a mile off. The only good move he has is the Tiger Knee as it's fast as hell. Plus it's double hit close up so does a good amount of damage.

Yea its Killer Instinct, its Cinder, Glacius, mystery balrog ripoff

TJ Combo. :rolleyes2

Anyone remember rival schools That is the best fighter ever ill kill anyone at it should of made lots more additions

I know so few people who've played that game. It's great, and I kick teh ass on it as well. I love it.

There was a Rival Schools II that was scheduled for release at one point, but it either got canceled or didn't make it's way outside of Japan. I can't find ANYTHING about it online though.

EDIT: Apparently, it was released, but the final name ended up being "Project Justice". I would kill to have it.

Of course, I'd need a Dreamcast to play it.

EDIT: "Project Justice is the sequel to the Playstation Game Rival
Schools: United By Fate. While I'm aware there was a Rival Schools 2 released on the psx I don't believe it made it to the west and I think that Project Justice is a direct continuation of that first game."

Ah ok, so there is a Rival Schools II, but it wasn't released here.

[Erdrick Holmes]

Project Justice was only on Sega Dreamcast. The Japanese version was better because it had a option where you can make a character. What I didn't like about Rival Schools series was it had Sakura in the game, but in the US version they named her *shudder* Hillary.

to youre snk story telling over there i agree.

but only 1 question lies............

WTF is up with snk and their heroes with fire. I mean I probably would've done the same but not for every freakin hero. What I mean about hero is not a main character but the good guys.

KOF 94-98 - Kyo & Iori
KOF 99- 02- K'
KOF 03 - Ash
Fatal fury- Terry Bogard

I also heard this guys rival in world heroes has some type of phoenix punch.

[Lionx]

Its probably to give you a sense of relation between the two characters, a strong one. Just like how Akuma and Ryu share similar movesets as well as Ken which we come to know as the Shotos. Dan doesnt count

Its the same for Kyo and Iori with their flames. Terry was pretty original for me...i dont know why he was put up there. Only Rock has similar movesets to him.

If you didnt know (SPOILER) K is a clone of Kyo...the supposedly strongest figher on the Hero/Japan Team in which NESTS wanted to get in their hands...
