Yugo - Bloody Roar 1
Duragan (one arm behind his back) - The Bouncer (does that count as a fighting game?)
Captain America and/or Spider-Man - Marvel vs Capcom (any, pretty much).
2B (in anything, heheheh...)

I don't play much fighting games anymore, tbh.
Yes, it is a skill issue, lol.

My reaction time is not good enough for fighting games anymore, but I used to play with Kazuya, Ken, Sabrewolf, and Scorpion.

Edit: Forgot Mitsurugi.

Terry Bogard, or more specifically Garou Terry. The absolute drip on this man in this game 😍

Siegfried from SC. Why? Big sword lol

Blue Mary. I think she’s one of the best female designed characters in any FG. Super simple but so effective made better by her sassy animations.

Nagoriyuki in Strive is super fun to play, especially the launch version. Also Black vampire samurai? Fucking ace.

Special shoutout to my new favs Luke and Kim from SF6. My two mains. Ones a basic boy but honestly probably the most fun new “shoto” they’ve introduced due to how strong he is and easy to combo with. Kim is just fucking cool man, period.

Yugo - Bloody Roar 1
Duragan (one arm behind his back) - The Bouncer (does that count as a fighting game?)
Captain America and/or Spider-Man - Marvel vs Capcom (any, pretty much).

Anyone who mentions Bloody Roar is good people ❤️

Ken or Ryu.

Since my 1990 the more fun to play.
At start both where equal but with the time Ken receive move sets that made it my favorite but I love to play as Ruy.

In fact for competitive play Ryu is better than Ken.

I still believe they are the best fighting characters ever created in both move set and story.

Hadoken and Shuryuken are so iconic that everybody in the world knows what it is… and it commands are so natural.

Who never imitated these two moves in real life? 😍

I always liked faster paced characters in general cause you (can) control the flow.

Kasumi, for the above mentioned reason and not the jiggle physics lol. SO Ryu and Spartan-458 for the sick cross-over in DOA.

Special mention Virtua Fighter. A tie between Brad, due to into kickboxing back then. Vanessa for her ability to switch styles/moveset.

Honorable mention adult Kid Goku in the worst fighting game with the best intro GT Final Bout. Every time I booted that up on the PSone I got disappointed when it got in game due to the cinematic. Also confused me due to series being way behind Japan and back then the access to info wasn't the same as now with JP.
