I wanted to put Strider, but went with the choices I have. Nice choices, especially Magneto. I actually struggled against picking a lot of MVC2 characters, namely Psylocke.

The one I'm talking about he mounts you horizontally and rolls on the ground for like 10 seconds while you are losing power. It is hard to do (says the perpetrators of the rape) but it takes off a LOT of power. He wouldn't be nearly as powerful against me if I'd just learn the throw breaks, but I just never put forth the effort.

Thats got to be the rolling death cradle then.

And yeah, King pretty much becomes a wimp if you know those breaks. ;( But who has the time to learn those, King ist der man!

I reckon Link is horrible to use in SSB..just the first one.
Yeah, his jumping is horrible, but he's great if you can avoid getting hit.
I alternate between him and Kirby and DK in the original.

This thread needs more GG, VF5, and SNK fighters. Hell, more characters from good fighters, period. :lol

What? If that quote is saying Rival Schools rules then I agree. I bought a DC last year just for this game (and Powerstone). It's very different, but it is very fun. I really like the hitting in the air mechanic.

You really can't infer that the lyrics means he really likes it!?

Purchase you ought to
It came with one free CD, it’s like I bought two
I hope they make part II for Dreamcast

Thats only if you believe Geese Howard can die. Rubbish.
Contrary to my opening comments about Bryan and K9999, I have no reason to believe Geese is based on a character from another medium or real life... i.e. Chuck Norris:)

Terry "Rice in Taco" Bogard took him in though!

There's something kinda creepy about that. Maybe its the whole, 'I just killed your father, but I'll be your daddy' thing.

Ooohhh. Del the Funky Homosapien lyric. I didn't realise, my bad. I heard a bit of Handsome Boy Modelling School: How's Your Girl and I've got Both Sides of the Brian, but never listen to it.

Oh well check out Proto Culture on Both Sides of The Brain. It's all about video games

Isn't he best friends with his father's murderer?

Yeah, but he could care less about that factoid. First of all, his father DID abandon him and his dying mother. Then Terry was there to be his big bro/father figure and taught him how to fight soon after he officially killed Geese for good (this is back in the FF/AOF continuity, the KOF and KOF:MI ones are something else).

So, all things considered, Terry has been definitely much more of a postive role model for Rock than Geese ever was. And how does the lil runt pay him back? Run off with Kain at the end of MOTW, just because Kain got his hopes up that his "mother is still alive". Lil ingrate... :lol :lol

But any way...

If we're not including anime-characters who happen to have fighting games (which would lead to my answer being Kenshiro and Jagi from Hokuto no Ken without a doubt...!)...

Then my answer is a tie between these two:

Can't believe I'm the first to say Kasumi. :S

Reason: Red head Ninja! Fairly quick combos with impressive throws. Easy to dish out fast damage without being cheap like Ryu. Also for costume 7 in DOA4.

It's hard to pick a favorite character without picking a favorite game, because for each fighting game I have a favorite character...

This is the only King in my book. Based on Ellen Degeneres(j/k).

Why not? It is a fighting game. I hope we are all adult enough not to bring total losers like Naruto and Goku into this. Kenshiro is cool though. And I'll see your Talbain and raise youa Felicia.

i guess he won't appear too much in this thread, so i'll name him :)

Street Fighter II was really THE game that got me into fighting games, and i've always been a...

player.

and i guess i'll have to admit that i always tend to play with "main" characters in every game:
Kyo (King of Fighters)

Terry(KOF,FF)

Rock(GarouMotW)
...
Kaede(Last Blade)

Jin(Tekken)
...
Kasumi(DoA)

:(

the only two exceptions i can think of are Galford (Samurai Shodown), even though i still liked playing with Haohmaru, and Ky(Guilty Gear)
