Your favorite fighting characters?
- Mar 30, 2012 9:21 am GMT

Now playing: Assassin's Creed (360), Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (360), Pokemon: SoulSilver (DS)
Topic is self explanatory I think, so what characters are your favorites in this genre?
Some of mine are (though there are several others I like to play in each series):
Lei Wulong (Tekken)- A Hong Kong Policeman who's also a master in Five Animal and Drunken Kung Fu.
Bonus fact: He's based on my favorite action star who starred in films such as Police Story, Drunken Master II/Legend of Drunken Master, and Rumble in the Bronx. Though I didn't know that until later.
Ivy Valentine (Soul)- Sex symbolism aside, I actually love her story and personality, as well as her use of the Snake Sword.
Chun Li (Street Fighter)- Another character in law enforcement, but still one I like playing a lot. Very cheerful and cute looking, but has the fastest legs you'll ever see.
Ryu (Street Fighter)- A typical choice, but I don't honestly care. I still think he's an awesome fighter.
Kitana (Mortal Kombat)- I'm going to say it, I think she is the most badass princess ever (sorry Zelda and Peach, but it's true). Not to mention, she's still pretty young at 10,000 years (looks to be in her 20's).
Raiden (Mortal Kombat)- A wise, good sided thunder god who I thought was evil at first. Not to mention, he has my favorite superpower.
So who are your favorites?

Lili from Tekken is my top favorite fighting game character. Other favorites include Alisa and Julia from Tekken, Seung Mina and Viola from Soul Calibur and Kitana from Mortal Kombat.

Join the Dynasty Warriors Union if you like anything from Koei!
When it comes down to style, I'm a sucker for a pure kick in the face, and no style brings out the legs more than Taekwondo, Juri (Street Fighter) is meh in comparison to Hwoarang from Tekken. Other than that, I really, REALLY, dig Sakura from Street Fighter. Her cheerful charm, and oddly, also her long sweet kicks, just makes her a favourite. :P If anyone else deserves a mention based on his fighting style, it would be most definitely Carl Clover from Blazblue, damn that kid is classy.- Please wait.

Tekken: Kazuya
- Throughout my days playing fighters, Kazuya has been my favourite fighting character. I really like Blazblue though.. So maybe he's top spot could come to an end some time in the near future. He's been my main since Tekken 2 (in the installments that he's playable..) and after playing him so much, every other character just doesn't click as well. Steve and Hwoarang are runner ups though, as far as characters I like, though I don't like using Hwoarang much at all.
Blazblue: Hakumen
- I've unfortunately only played CT and spent a lot of that time with Ragna, though Blazblue is probably my favourite fighter in terms of the game universe/characters/story and I also love watching Blazblue matches more than any other. I've just finally got around to ordering BB:CSE because I've been holding off buying CS when I heard it was coming out. While I spent most of my time with Ragna, Hakumen seemed to be the character I'd like the most once I felt comfortable with the game. However, the whole Blazblue cast is amazing and with more experience I may main any of the other characters. There isn't one character in the game I don't like.
Street Fighter: Juri
- I'm not much of a SF fan mainly due to the generic sort of theme/music of it all. Though it is pretty much the fighter that made the fighting genre, so I guess it should get a pass for being generic. One character I did take a liking too is Juri. I don't play my copy of SSF4AE much, but when I do I pretty much exclusively play Juri now. When my copy of SFxT arrives I'm even half thinking of trying a Kazuya/Juri combo, though I'm not sure if they would make a good team. I think Oni looks cool too.
Mortal Kombat: Scorpion
- I'm not a MK fan at all. I've bough Deception, Shaolin Monks and MK9 over the years, all just to try them out once in awhile, but I just can't stand the MK universe. It's depressing I guess. Whenever I do play (which is barely ever), I use Scorpion. However, I have to admit the actual gameplay is fun and quite accessible.
King of Fighters: K'
- KOF13 looks amazing and is pretty much next on my to-buy list, but I have very little experience with the series. I've played a little bit of KOF2002 and K' was one of the characters I took a liking to, but I haven't played enough of it to really decide.
Soul Calbur: Kilik
- I've only played SC3 and SC4, and was pretty let down by SC4. I don't know anything about the story despite playing through the story mode in each a few times; I know its got something to do with everyone wanting some amazing weapon which I think is called Soul Calibur. Anyway, while I used to play custom characters with various styles, Kilik was probably my favourite stock character... I like characters that use longer weapons such as spears or halberds (or long, thin swords like Hakumen :P) so Kilik stood out for that reason.

Tekken: Kazuya
- Throughout my days playing fighters, Kazuya has been my favourite fighting character. I really like Virtua Fighter though.. So maybe he's top spot could come to an end some time in the near future. He's been my main since TTT (in the installments that he's playable..) and after playing him so much, every other character just doesn't click as well. Feng Wei and Paul are runner ups though, as far as characters I like.
