View Full Version : Which fight game character is YOUR best?

Doesn't matter what game, what console, or even if it's the arcade or handheld version of a game. What single fighting game character have you had the most success with? You know, the one that you would choose if it were for a one time, "all the marbles" kind of competition.

Ling Xiaoyu from Tekken Tag Tournament.
I don't play many fighting games at all (don't really like 'em) - but this was a launch day purchase for me so it got a *lot* of play (on my own and with friends).

Paul Phoenix- Because he uses a mixed style of martial arts. But he's powerful and too the point. I have to admit, when I first saw him in the arcade, I laughed at him. I though he looked like Ken from SF with a flat top.

E Honda.. only because no one else seems to pick him and odds are they wouldn't have as much real world experience playing against someone like myself who's stupidly spent the past 12 years obsessively trying to master him :D

Either Genjuro or Haomaru. They might be bit slower than the reast of the crowd, 2 or 3 firece shots and your dead. :D

Juggernaut or Magneto from the Capcom vs. series... at least against my friends. For some reason, I can just seem to pound with these two. I know that they are good characters, but I don't think that they are necessarily the strongest of the series.

I don't really know
I'm between "Lord Deimos" from "Mace-The dark age" (cause he speaks nearly the same dialect)
and "Jago" from Killer Instinct (cause he would kick all other "ninjas" to hell with his ULTRA COMBO* )

01-20-2004, 12:13 PM
Akuma would probably be my overall greatest, though I'm also pretty damn good with Terry Bogard, Cable, Genjuro, and Alex. But messing with my Akuma is OFF-LIMITS. :evil laugh:

although i suck at fighters, i can stomp some ass with Millia Rage in Guilty Gear X.
Oobgarm
01-20-2004, 12:18 PM
Ryu. He's the first character I picked when I stepped up to the SFII machine for the first time. I've since gotten pretty damn good with him. Ken's cool as well, but I prefer the longer range fireball rather than the flaming Shoryuken.

To visit my most devestating character, you'd have to hop into a time machine and set the clock back about 12 years and play Street Fighter II: The World Warrior. That version of Guile is a f'n monster. Jp Fierce, Standing Fierce, Sonic Boom, Fierce Backfist = say bye bye.
For an all around character regardless of one single incarnation? Terry Bogard.

I'd pick Ryu (SSF2) like Oobgard.
Or, I may pick Kim Kaphwan (KoF '97).
Or, I could go with Captain Falcon (SSB).
Favorites are hard.

Kitrini (That is soooo not spelled right) from MK2. Preferably Genesis version.

I like him too. He's very similar to another favorite of mine, Blanka.
However, my best fighter has to be Martial Law, hands down.

REeeeeeeaaaallyyy.....You're not anywhere near Ohio, are you? My Zelda is unstoppable in one-on-one.
Anyway, I'd pick Super Smash Bros. (N64) Fox.
Failing that, SSBM Zelda, SC2 Heihachi, SC Hwang, or MSH Spiderman.
And that's about it. Except for the Smash Bros games, I pretty much suck at fighters. When it comes to SSB, however, I am like unto a god! 8-)
Okay, seriously though. There are only two game in which I will brag on my skills; DDR and the SSB games. And I'm nowhere NEAR as good at DDR as I am at SSB. If anyone's near the Cleveland area and wants a challenge, I'm happy to provide it. :evil:

If I was closer to you I'd whoop your a$$ in SSB and SSBM. :P
I can beat anyone with any character in those games. I especially enjoyed playing my three friends against me to 100 kills, which of course I beat the crap out of them. 8-)
Other than that, probably Ken from the SF series is my best character.

There's two. One, probably the first choice, would be Colossus, specifically from MvsC2.:

And two, even better if they're paired up together. is Tron Bonne from MvsC2:

I'd enjoy the challenge, but I am QUITE comfortable in my abilities. There's a chance (a small one :P ) that you might win but, trust me, you wouldn't whip my ass.
And if, by some chance, you DID turnout to be better me, I can guarantee with 100% certainty you couldn't do it with every character.
Yeah, I've done the three on one thing too. I also played a friend, who had logged a LOT of time into the first one, for three hours without him landing a hit on me in SSB when I played as fox. That's my personal accomplishment in that game.
Actually, Drexel, I think we've had this conversation before :D . I think the thread was called "What game are you REALLY good at" or something like that. Since a matchup isn't really possible (thanks for the lack of internet support, nintendo) I'll give you the benefit of the doubt for now and call you my equal. :P

Zato1-ONE/Eddie from the Guilty Gear series, because through playing him my interest in competitive fighting games was resurrected.

01-20-2004, 09:00 PM
Hands Down, Ken from CvS2. I got good with Ken just because I used to play World Warriors with my friends, and they always picked Ryu and had a rule where you couldn't pick the same person. The only problem is that I am only good at the Dreamcast version of CvS2 with Ken. I will step into the arcade and get stomped, but there have been numerous times when my friends play that game with me in the arcades, stomp the crap out of my, and then we go to my place, and they are lucky to get 3 or 4 hits in.

01-20-2004, 09:11 PM
Since i mainly play the vs. series and SSBM, I'd have to say- Magneto and Cable are my best, but sometimes i own with Sentinel.
For SSBM its Falco all the way, but i can mix it up with a good Dr. Mario.

Yeah, we did have this conversation before. It would be a pretty good match I agree, though I have a better idea. Form the greatest tag team ever and rule the world! :evil:
I haven't played in a long time so you probably would whip my ass, but it would be a match for the ages. 8-)

Sara. Or Sophitia. Not like I'd get the marbles anyway, but there you go...
When next we meet, I shall see to it that you and Sophitia BURN TOGETHER LIKE AUTUMN LEAVES.
Anyway, I'm gonna have to go with Millia Rage (Spot the hair-metal allusion!) from the Guilty Gear series. She's the only character with whom I've been confident enough to enter an official tournament. Granted, I was no match for a fiendish Faust player in the third round, but it was the first time I thought I actually had a chance against skilled opponents.

The term "unfuckwithable" is the greatest thing I've read in a while, as I missed this thread the first time 'round.
In Millenium Fight SNK vs. Capcom for the NGPC, I'm nearly god-like with both Evil Iori and Ryu (not as much Evil Ryu, surprisingly). For the Samurai Showdown series, Nakaruru are my ladies.
And Kinf for whatever game she's in. Whether I'm good with her or not, I'll play as her. Though Nakaruru is hotter ( :P @ AdamG ) and I can kick AdamG's ass with her ( :P :P ). :D

I find Ken, Ryu, and Akuma boring, even though they are probably the best rounded characters.
It used to be Guile, but Remy from SFIII 3rd Strike is so much better.
It's a toss up between Remy and Rolento. But ONLY from SFA2. After that, he seemed so watered down, I was crushed!

I seem to crush my friends pretty easily when using Iori in any KoF game. His awkward fighting style works well for me. Close 2nd would be Ryu/Ken/Akuma, doesn't matyter which one, theya re basically the same (although Akuma is my favorite).

When I first got psx it had a tekken demo and you could only be him or the girl & I've been playing him since. It's always fun to play him in the arcade and it seems that quite a few people don't know about his slide while he's laying on his stomach. I don't know why they didn't put this life-saving move in the instruction manual.

I'm really not sure. I would have to say the shoto characters in the fighting games most likely. I'm really good with characters like Ken, Guile, Ryu, Dimitri, Terry Bogard, K, Baek, Sub Zero, Kitana, to name a few. I don't know which one of those are my best but I am adept at using them.

02-21-2005, 02:07 AM
I would say Goku from the game Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 3. Fundamentally I have more advantage in his kicks more then his punches because I wind up throwing more nice combos.

Fatal Fury/KOF- Terry without a doubt
SF Alpha series...Gen...first character in a Capcom series to have two styles
SF2- Ken
Guilty Gear- Testament
Tekken- Heihachi Mishima
Last Blade 2- Hibiki
CVS2- Kyosuke (Nice in 2D form)
Samurai Shodown- Hanzo
AOF series- Mr. Karate
Soul Calibur- Nightmare
Virtua Fighter- Lau Chan
My Monk job in FFXI beats the living crap out of ANYTHING. :D
Seriously, I like using Sophitia in the Soul Calibur games. I was also pretty good with a few characters in the N64's Fighter's Destiny.
I find that many fighters are too fast and frenzied for me to be any good at.
