Best Characters In Fighting Games

[Skulhedface]

The "Coolest Moves" post inspired this, and one of my comments in that thread got me to thinking about all of them again, so here's this thread.

The purpose of this thread isn't to see just who your personal favorite character is, it's any character from any fighting game you've ever played that you played so well, you had guys lining up at the second controller of the machine waiting to beat you so THEY can finally play more than two rounds, or at home when you'd have a revolving lineup of your friends on the second control pad, waiting and hoping they'd beat your ass at the latest Street Fighter incarnation :lol

So, with that in mind, I'll get it started with three particular games.

Marvel VS Capcom: I OWNED with Gambit and Morrigan. Same with MvsC2, only I also had Megaman on the team.

Capcom VS SNK: Ryu, Mai Shiranui, and Terry Bogard. UNBEATABLE. Heh heh heh

going back a little bit: Street Fighter Alpha 3: Akuma. UNSTOPPABLE. BWA HA HA

[timrpgland]

Zantetsu!

[Ninjavenom]

:love!

Also missing from my list are Mai Shiranui, Original Zero, Igniz, Krizalid, and Setsuna. WTF was i on when i wrote the first list? :(

[timrpgland]

Awesome av, Ninjavenom. Elmdor kicks ass. Last time through I managed to steal everything from him. All his Genji stuff and his Masamune... wow that took forever.

[Ninjavenom]

Aye, i did as well, but on the game i'm playing now, my masamune was stolen, and i got like 700 jp for my calculator in the same battle, so i was forced to choose. :(

[timrpgland]

You can always find another masamune.

[Ninjavenom]

really? :confused Explain. >:

[Jebus]

Everyone should know the only good fighting game is the Tekken series.

[timrpgland]

Ninja, you have to be lucky. Like with any item you never know if some random enemy (human) is going to be carrying one. They don't limit it. You can find all sorts of good stuff. Always make sure you check the enemy's equipment.

[timrpgland]

Oh Jebus, fuck Tekken. Play something good.

[Ninjavenom]

Thank you most kindly, tim. :)

[Rongi]

Good fighting game is the Tekken series.

That was a good joke :lol

[James]

Well, I'd rather play Tekken than Virtua Fighter. When it comes to fighting games, I'd prefer not to require a GED in order to play. Although I will admit that VF4 is the best fighting game ever at this time, I can't play it worth a shit because I never played any of the others. Can you say, "Alienate?"

Back on track though:

Noob Saibot - Mortal Kombat
Lord Raptor - Darkstalkers
Vega - Street Fighter
