What is your favorite fighting game character and why?

For me, it has to be Ryu. No other character has had such influence on the mechanics of many fighters. A lot of the ninja in games look so much like him, but can never be as badass. Nothing like a Hadouken or Shoryuken...ever!

Kadath

Hwang Sung Kyung, Soul Calibur. His moves and dodges just clicked with my own sense of timing. I could play him without effort, just flow.

any Lin Kuei, simply for the fact that they're all badass ninjas.

i always preferred ken over ryu.

ryu was a little too "good guy main character" and ken's moves (at least in original sf2) did more damage (2 hit axe kick, 2 hit tackle/throw)

kim dong hwong/kim jae hoon (kim kap whan's sons)- Garou: Mark of the wolf (takes place like 20 years after "fatan fury/king of fighters", you also use geese's son)

the blind samurai (cant recall is name)- Last Blade

the red fire samurai guy (cant remember his name either!)- Samurai Showdown

Mr.Deflok

Akuma because he has all the same moves as my other fave, Ryu, and has a few extras to boot (namely the air-hadoken). Not to mention the fact that he exudes such a bad ass quality that there's no way in hell you can't like him.

Tusko

i always really liked brian from tekken. he was just a badass brawler. and he had some really killer moves if you knew how to master him. (i started to get into king for a while for the same reason, quite flashy, but very good if you knew how to use him)

but i just liked brian the best. nothing too flashy, no real 'martial arts' just a back street brawler/cyborg.

Player 2 (aka "The Red Guy") in Karate Champ. I mean player 1 ("The White Guy") was just so bland, I don't think he had the pure burning desire to be The Karate Champ.

Chipp Zanuff. Speed speed speed. He's been my favorite ever since I was introduced to the GG series. Plus he's a ninja. Ninja's flip out and kick people's heads off all the time.

Another vote for Paul in Tekken. The only Tekken character to have a personal arch-nemesis set in place by the Mishima family to prevent him from winning.

definitely have to go with Ryu. no other fighting game character has been copied over and over again as much as Ryu. and I was always a big fan of the ninjas in MK, from Sub-Zero to Scorpion, they were all badass.

Marshall Law - Tekken, just because I like the whole Bruce Lee vibe and also most of his moves are bad ass.

silver26

I liked Scorpion is the early Mortal Kombat games... Ryu in the Street Fighters... I haven't been into these kinda games for a long time. But then I got a gamecube and Super Smash Brothers Melee, and can pound everyone with Samus
