Anime Post Your waifu/husbando

[RageBurner]

Between Amy and Rouge it's not really a contest, if you ask me. Rouge wins by a landslide.
Ah, now I'm reminded of two very fine specimens of a Sega women.

General Spiriel, from Shining Force 3

It says Spirited because in the Japanese version, Sega/Camelot went with this strange idea of character names being adjectives a lot of the time.

And Marky, likewise

Funny thing is, while I got over Aerith dying, Nei's has always left me with a bitter taste.

As if the emotional gutpunch wasn't bad enough, she was also the strongest member of the party! Or at least the best fighter. I like to think it was the game's way of demonstrating how she was a non-human who aged / matured faster than normal people, in that she leveled up rapidly and grew stronger at a quicker pace than the rest of the party. A nice little detail - especially for a game from 1989!

Like I'm sure plenty of others did, I replayed that fight several times in an attempt to come out on top. I hadn't really played many (any?) games at that point with scenarios that forced you to lose. Once I accepted that you couldn't win (the hint book was fairly clear on this) I was left demoralized, realizing that I had the bulk of the game ahead of me with a mostly-underdeveloped party.

And, oh yeah, the enemies have now gotten substantially stronger! And the remaining dungeons are tougher than ever! And you just lost your best character - along with all their equipment!

Yeah. Sega cut all of us PSII vets pretty deep with that one. It was a tough thing to get over ?

YOOOOOOOOOOOOO, Fighting Vipers! All right!!

When I wasn't using Pepsiman, I was getting my butt kicked trying to figure out how to use Honey. I had a much better time once the armor started breaking apart... ?

I'll add on Janet from Virtua Cop / Fighter's Megamix. Her handgun move in the latter was pretty broken, but oh-so-fun to use against the CPU ?

It's very cool to see so many Phantasy Star fans here. However...

 

[NemissaFotia]

Gotta be Blaze from Streets of Rage.

 

[PrismRed]

Apart from Sumire Kanzaki mentioned earlier

 

[FTLOTG]

Cotton's first home was on Sega-16 hardware, isn't she incredible?

 

[Deleted member 884]

Forgot about her, I really like her personality and relationship with Subaru.

Mad respect for showing Sakura Wars some love ??

I've never played the games, but I remember the marketing push for the OG Saturn entry in Japan. I had an issue of NewType that came with a full-color insert booklet promoting the game months before its release. Full of character art and bios.

I remember looking through it and thinking it all looked pretty cool, and was very surprised at the level of quality in the artwork. They really went all out - there was nothing cheap or half-hearted about it!

Part of me is surprised by the lack of Virtua Fighter love in this thread. No Sarah? No Pai? No Dural?? Or maybe I just missed those posts from earlier...

I was never the biggest VF fan, but I do remember crushing on Aoi pretty hard when I saw screenshots of her in magazines. It also keeps with the Sakura theme of this post ?

I definitely recommend it!

 

[Pinballbuzzbro]

Sadly holds a snowglobe with a lil figure of her inside of it like BTAS Mr Freeze

 

[Nidstang]

I'm surprised Bayonetta isn't more popular here

Lambda Bunny is female?

 

[King Koopa's iconKing Koopa]

I've been meaning to get around to it. There's just so many things I want to play.

Kanna Kirishima

[ThunderBoy]

Tyris Flare

 

[SpcDaicon]

Claris Snowflake from Shin Sakura Wars stole my heart. At first I tought Hatsuho would be my choice since fiery tomboys are one of my weakness but Claris sweetness won me over time.

I also like the fact that she presents herself as this prim and proper girl but actually enjoys reading lewd novels and has a mean side to her to spice things up.

Done, next question.

Well, threads over, best waifu was posted

 

[Gym Ghingham]

Recently Added her on my fav Female Characters list in the Gundam Universe, Hailey Arhun from Gundam: Requiem for Vengeance 2024 i though of making a new thread about her and the similarities with Bianca Carlyle from Mobile Suit Gundam Thunderbolt. Waifu content..

 

[GuyZero32k4]

I like her personality (when she's not a horn dog with Misaka), she's intelligent, good moral character being she's in Judgement (As she did explain how far she'd go to protect the city), the naughty side is bonus.
Used to like the main girl in Bento, but no season 2, so kinda gave up on her.

 

[Juiceala]

I know Neptune shouldn't count but I'm counting her.
