Ken's first appearance was Street Fighter just like Ryu. Press start on the 2P side and behold: Ken

Hitomi from the Dead or Alive series. She's hot and it just so happens that she is my best female character as well. I like the fact she doesn't have that typical Japanese/Anime almost mute style personality like Kasumi and Ayane have. I seriously think those two are only so popular over there because they seem the type who wouldn't "resist", if you catch my drift. Can't stand em.

On that note, the images that pop up when looking for Hitomi DOA on google are quite colourful.

Other worthy mentions would be Elliot from Dead or Alive, Ivy and Siegfried from Soul Calibur, Akira and Sarah from Virtua Fighter, Ken and Dan from Street Fighter, Mai from King of Fighters and Ness from Smash Bros.

Oh god...I can't be the only one who hate all the SF art before 3 and Alpha...
Alpha 3's art was bad, Alpha 1 and Alpha 2 had good art (but Ryu and Ken were too baby-ishy boyish in Alphas)
SF2 and Super SF2 was great, Ken and Ryu looked like "men" and not "boys"

SF3 has the best art, Ryu and Ken in their mid 30s looking awesome

i hated the VS series for recylcing white bandanna Ryu from the Alphas

The Alphas were supposed to have taken place before SF2, hence the young Ryu and Ken (and the presence of Guile's war-buddy Charlie).

Yamazaki is the shit. SNK has come up with some really rad characters along the way.

She's also my favorite in DOA. Even though I don't really like Ayane that much she's quite different then Kasumi and has a bit of attitude / rudeness to her if see what she says.

Yoko Suzuki - from Resident Evil Outbreak + Resident Evil Outbreak File #2

I like the fact she's just an ordinary, non-overblown female character with realistic limitations. I also think her subtle story's pretty damn interesting, myself.

Tell me you edited him in...
I could have sworn I didn't see him there when I first read the thread...

Only thing I edited was a few grammar errors after I first opened the thread (check the edit date/time). Imageshack may be loading the image slow. I thought you were borrowing my thoughts with the 'punishing moves' comment, but I guess you just missed it.

Mitsurugi's ending is pretty tragic most of the time. I had to play through 3 times before I knew how to dodge the damn bullets. And then it took another time to do it successfully. So yeah more often than not his ending is him dying by a gunshot, which signifies the end of the samurai. Pretty tragic.

Hitomi is a good fighter to play as but since she was never in doa2 my interest stays with the fast fighting Ayane :D

I love Ayane's attitude etc.
