What's your favorite fighting game and fighting game character?

[AkiraSO4]

Favorite game: Third Strike.

Favorite character: Urien. The character that made me a fan of the genre. Good buttons (st.mp, cr.mk, j.hk) alongside oppressive yet highly variable player expression in his SA3: Aegis Reflector made him my favorite the minute I first played the game. This was also greatly influenced by watching high level Urien players extensively, like RX, and wanting to learn his unblockables to use in real matches.

Sorry for the paragraph - I just really enjoy playing as him.

Eyyy, we found something on 3S we agree on, lol! I like Urien even though I'm terrible using him. I can use him better in SFV than in SF3, and this is why you should always take what I say with a grain of salt.

THIS. SNK keeps bringing the wrong characters back, lol. At least they went out with a bang in KOF98UM.

Yeah, its a bloody shame they didn't come back for KOF XV. They brought back the Orochi Team, Shingo, FUCKING RUGAL, but not the ONE missing trio.

I have this luck that my favorite characters are always either the mainstream vanilla normie ass character, or the most obscure character imaginable, there's no inbetween with me.

Im STILL upset at how they never brought back Rick Strowd. Best boxer in a fighting game next to Heavy D!.................and he only appears in like one game.

Oh, Rick's entire history is getting shelved. He was supposed to be in KOF 99, but got replaced by Xiangfei, I guess.

I'd talk about characters I want back, but honestly, I can't recall a single newcomer from 14/15 I like unironically. (Xanadu is so weird I have to laugh, doesn't count, lol. Can't say I did Antonov´s XIV redesign either.)

He's quite the bullying type of character when you really get going with him, yet that really requires meter (or V Trigger) to do so. In 3S, he really starts feeling like a different character entirely if you can charge partition effectively. He's much easier for me to play on stick - I don't have as great of a feel of the charge meter on pad.

SFV kept him mostly intact, which was a relief.

I'd talk about characters I want back, but honestly, I can't recall a single newcomer from 14/15 I like unironically.

I will continue to rep my boy KOFXV newcomer Krohnen McDougall, who is very clearly not K9999 from KOF2001.

For real though - I thought this was a good redesign to bring him back after so long. I don't really like the actual newcomers much, either.

 

[rugal]

this is a hard one since most of the time my favorit game and character changes from time to time
but i alwasy come back to 2 games
darkstalker night warriors soul calibur 2

[Grumpy_Old_Man]

I tend to prefer the slower more methodical fighting games, like the first Bushido Blade, the earlier Samurai shodown games(Newer ones tend to be more combo oriented), Last Blade series, etc.
If I need to mention one from those series, i tend to use the battojutsu specialist Hibiki from the Last Blade 2, Good range, fast attack, but slow recovery time.

 

[FTLOTG]

Soul Blade and Sophitia.

 

[Super Funky Piece]

i havent really been able to play fighting games in a while with my current net speeds but i'd still love to go back to Guilty Gear XX Accent Core +R most of all. i really liked Order-Sol's aggressive playstyle and exclusive mechanic of powering up special moves. i also enjoyed a bit of Kliff and his downright nefarious disjointed moves and such but i dont really care for him as an actual character otherwise. i also miss playing a bit of Makoto in Blazblue

 

[stealthRUSH stealthRUSH]

I also use to play Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike a lot on Fightcade, and Fightcade 2. It was easily my most played game on the program. That being said I spent equal amount of time playing online rank matches throughout Super Street Fighter IV iterations on Xbox Live.

My favorite fighting game character is Vega (original name Balrog). Growing up I would play shotos casually on arcades as kid, Ryu being my most used. From Street Fighter II, Street Fighter Alpha, Street Fighter EX. But one mechanic always irked me on performing consistently; charge inputs! so I decided to learn them using Vega. That was around the same time I seriously got into fighting games, spending hours online, attending tournaments, with the game being SSFIV.

Vega was my main throughout the series I like everything about him; his zoning playstyle, tricky ninjutsu special moves, speed, personality, and appearance having a mask & claw. Since then I gravitated towards charge characters, switching my prior main in SFIII3S Necro to Remy getting down charge partitioning and boom loops.

 

[Boog111]

I've alway's liked breakers/breakers revenge for the neo geo. Very underrated.

 

[pendrag]

Urien both 5 and 3s

I'm wondering, why we don't have collections of mame roms here?

 

[GundamJehutyKai]

I have always been a fan of the Dead or Alive series with 2 probably being my favourite. Played Ayane in some form since her inception too. but I do love Hitomi and Lei Fang.

Otherwise, I owe a LOT to the Blazblue games, especially Continuum Shift as it was that game that introduced me to the FG group I call friends now. Played Noel in that series until they nerfed her into the ground.

Otherwise, I have dabbled in a LOT of fighting games, from various streetfighter games, to KoF, and tekken (tho I only really played up to Tag 1 with any seriousness) to games like Jacky Chan: fists of fire

 

[Cu1tur3D_Gam3R]

I'mma go with Dead or Alive 5 and my favorite characters are Hitomi & Momiji.

 

[PSVitaForever]

Well color me surprised, I had no idea we got DoA on the 3DS, let alone it actually running at a steady 60fps. What kind of magic is that???

A cool magic, I played it a lot (also multiplayer online), I also had DOA2 on ps2 and later DOA5 on Vita, but the 3ds game is still my favourite.

 

[Deean]

I don't have a favorite fighting games so..
My favorite characters are:
1.Ryo Sakazaki,a.k.a SNK's step child.
Enjoy playing him mainly in KOF 98 and 2003 because of his easy to use moveset.

2.Siegfried (Soulcalibur III)
The one is IV made him slower,and i don't like his older version from V.
#SCVIIWhen?

3.Christie and Rachel (Dead or Alive 5)
Two different play styles.Love their moveset,and they're one of the reason i really want to play Dead or Alive 5

 

[Arklem]

Either 3rd Strike or Vampire Savior is my favorite fighting game, as for favorite character it's Karin Kanzuki from SF (I really like this Granblue Fantasy art of hers)

 

[Devin8or]

I suck at fighters, but I'll say my favorite game in the genre is Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance, as I played a lot of it as a kid with my friend, and my favorite fighter is Guile—specifically Ultra Street Fighter IV Guile—as he is the only character I've ever been able to get halfway decent with. I can Flash Kick and Sonic Boom with the best of 'em.

Plus, you know, he's Guile! He's even got an iconic theme!

 

[GuyZero32k4]

Game: KOF 98 Ultimate- Especially with the AST on.
Character: Tie: Terry Bogard and Guy

 

[Esidemoken]

I'm going to get criticized but my favorite fighting game is Smash Bros, the classic style fighting games I haven't been able to play well except for Tatsunoko vs Capcom.

 

[bigstinkie]

tough ass question it is the ass question that is tough
i'm grinding my own ass trying to decide given fighting games are my favourite multiplayer genre by far
king of fighters 2002 um or tekken tag tournament 2 honestly it is truly a coin flipzors
favourite fighting game character ever? might be anna williams, too much fun too iconic too sassy

[Your_Homie_Gale]

I love my hard hitters and grapplers. I played a lot of 3rd Strike Street Fighter 3 years ago and my go to was always Alex. I am not sure why but his design and gameplay clicked with me even though he has many weaknesses. Something about landing a headbutt, power bomb, or bonking people with standing HP was fun. When it came to other fighting games like Tekken Tag Tournament 1 I would always pick Lee Chaolan, Bryan, or Armor King. As for King of Fighters 98 it will always be Terry, Yashiro/Orochi Yashiro, and Blue Mary.

 

[rattabletapping]

Favorite Game: The King of Fighters XIII
Favorite character: Ash Crimson is a really cool character, and I like his story as well.

 

[RetroPixelLizard]

I suck at fighting games, but still enjoy them.

Street Fighter II Turbo / Ryu

But personally I prefer Mugen and I'm pretty sure I cannot use that as an answer, but If I could, who would be my favorite character to use on that? Three words.

Leon Scott Kennedy Real Police Dude

 

[Soulless Emperor]

My favorite fighting game would be the original smash bros for the n64 and my fighting character would be captain falcon
