Yes. Yes it was. He stylin and so is his duck.

It pisses me off so much he isn't in KoF13. They need to put him in the next one.

she is still fuckin awesome

It's a silly stance but let's not lose the context of the Darkstalkers. They had stances to suit their character, not an orthodox fighting style in any of that cast (except maybe Talbain). Meanwhile I get the sense that we're supposed to take the cast of MK vs DC superheroes or KOFXI/XIII seriously.

What a fascinating character "Duck King" is. A man with a Mohawk who breakdances whilst fighting and is accompanied by a small duck, who can also breakdance. SNK are crazy motherfuckers.

Also, Blanka's kick from SFII where he's does this backwards kick. It's so stupid! LOL

I also find Baraka's jump punch and jump kick to be hilarious! I can't find the animated version, but the still image makes him look like he's just chilling on the floor.

Also, one of the MK ninja's down-kick moves is freaking hilarious. I can't find the animated version, but here's a still:

There was a thread recently that contained an interesting video interview with boon (I think it was conducted by Gamespot), where he shared a retrospective look at the series' history, development, and how most of the character motions were captured. The most awkward jumping animations were taken with the actors resting on a three step staircase, including these. From there it all made sense.

I disagree with most of the MK-hate, mainly because Scorpion's stance is the best.

Tina's idle stance in DOA5 is ridiculous. She's pretty much shaking her ass and tits via dance.
