What is your favorite fighting game character?

I will spread a bit more love to Ryu here 
It is the best fighting game character ever created.
Maybe it can be boring.
But no matter where it is... Street Fighter, Mavel vs, Capcom vs, Smash Bros., etc... any place he is always Top S tier... not just that it is figure in the most used characters in all these games.
IMO He is the perfect fighting character.
He is like a mountain in front of their opponents.
Who created him was very very fortuitous.
I like Ken too but Ken is just a clone of Ryu that with the time will adding weakness to the point that they differentiate so much that Ryu become the perfect fighting character and Ken the cool character with weakness.
BTW all his clones have weakness and are not balanced like Ryu and in these I can list:
- Ken: the cool playboy clone.
- Akuma: the evil focused clone.
- Evil Ryu: another evil focused clone.
- Dan: the parody focused clone.
- Sakura: the woman disciple focused clone.
- Sean: the disciple (Ken) focused clone.
- Gouken: the master focused clone.
When you do a deep analysis of the movesets and story of these clone you will see they all have issues in their story or deficiencies in their moveset making you realize how Perfect is Ryu.
I understand perfection is somehow boring too

- Story: He is basically a result of what fighting games are all about with whole story based in a journey of self-improvement. He is basically the soul and spirit of all fighting games. Are there more interesting characters and stories? Yes. But no other matches the face of the genre than Ruy... even if you don't like him you respect him because he is basically 100% focused in fighting. He is the true warrior.
- Moveset: His moveset is basically of the pinnacle and works in types of fighting games. The inputs for Hadokens and Shoryukens are so matched that even a 3 years old kid can do it. Outside the specials their base moves can counters mostly if no all fighting styles. Even the Tatsumaki Senpukyaku is pretty useful as move. He is so balanced to high tier with Tier S offence and Tier S defense that makes really hard to make another fighting character so well balanced.
- Design/Art: It is basic design that can be used to any others character, a simple fighting kinono with a red headband. It is classic but when used by Ruy becomes so iconic.

Mistook due the very fast key press... y and u are close in the keyboard
The point is whatever you play with him in any game you will understand how well build he is in all fronts... whatever fighting game want to use Ryu it is very easy to make it in the Tier S because he is a mountain of balance.
You would think so wouldn't you
My favourite is probably Vega, the original SF rule breaker and annoying pest
Well I've mostly played Tekken and then some Dead or Alive so these are the games I can mention some characters from... And well kind of Street Fighter since Akuma was in Tekken 7 and I've seen all or most of the SF V and SF VI trailers.
Anyway...
Tekken:
* Reina Mishima
* Heihachi Mishima
* Kazuya Mishima
* Jin Kazama
* Devil Jin
* Jun Kazama
* Asuka Kazama
* Eliza
* Lili
* Alisa
* Lidia
* Lars
* Dragunov
* Ling Xiaoyu
* Azucena
Etc. since the list will be too long if I kept adding more lol!
Dead or Alive:
* Kasumi
* Ayane
* Ryu Hayabusa
Well I've only really played Dead or Alive 5: Last Round and it's been awhile since I played it so I forgot about most of the characters names... But I remember liking most of the female characters and then like 2-3 of the male characters which I've mentioned one of them. I'll at some point go back and play some more Dead or Alive games hopefully... Well at least DOA 5-6 until the other games do get a remake or remaster at least!
Street Fighter:
And well I can't really say much about the Street Fighter games besides it got some interesting characters like...
* Ryu
* Akuma
* Ken
* M. Bison
And many others which I would like to get into one day!
Besides those 3 days so have I played one of the Mortal Kombat games as well as Guilty Gear and Soul Calibur IV... But I am mostly into 3D fighting games so I'll mostly focus on them at least for now but I don't see myself getting into games like Mortal Kombat, Killer Instinct or Injustice though.
