And a little more insight… and elaboration from last post:
Likes: The character above (known as Luna Himeki), Steve (Tekken 5.0), Jin (TTT/T4/T5) - I did like Jin at first, right up until T6. I’m mostly indifferent towards the said character as of TTT2. I also like the Williams sisters and of course… the Changs (Michelle and Julia).
To speak about Blazblue/Guilty Gear: I like Jam, (ORDER) Sol, Slayer, Potemkin, Hakumen, Litchi, Makoto, Tager, Bullet (BBCP)
Dislikes: I did mention Evil Ryu before, but this is as of SSFIV… I prefer the “silently pissed off” Evil Ryu from things like CVS2, not this… thing on SSFIV – His gameplay IS somewhat interesting - this is one of those cases where the game play of the characters seems squared away, but you don’t really like the character - I have this same issue with characters such as Feng (Tekken), Chris (KOF), and Super Saiyan 20… er… I mean Oni (SSFIVAE) – Game play looks neat… Character is… meh.
I’m also not a big fan of Ky Kiske, Jin Kisaragi, Platinum, and I-no.
What is with ArcSystems and blonde guys anyway? Guilty Gear isn’t that bad, but Blazblue is like the blondest fighter ever made without the DBZ license. (Jin, Noel, Mu-12, Rachel, Platinum, Carl, Relius, Lambda, maybe some more)

Orochi clan
Mishmas-hate when they transform and get hit with lazers
Fighter Destiny: BAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLoooonnnn!!! and Clowns
LOL, you should have seen Rips reaction when he had to fight three consecutive Kazuya players on Tekken Revolution. @Lasers should be a new Tekken meme!
But, seriously - Normally on high level play, if you see someone going into Kazuya’s Devil form, that basically means that they want the Twin Piston’s launcher along with it’s good tracking, SS2 launcher, some better combo extensions (uf1+2 for example), and unscaled damage from f*df+1uf (Heaven’s Door) as a combo ender. This is part of the reason why he is so noteworthy in that aspect… outside of CD mix ups and EWGF, of course.
I want to add Raven and Kunimitsu to my favorite character list.
Raven:
Super cool badass ninja. The man breathes swag too. While hes not an easymode character he’s gotten buffed to be a contender. Plus c’mon the Simon Pheonix haircut. Epic
Kunimitsu:
Also a super cool badass ninja. She also has some sexy DSLs, a cute figure, and a rockin little booty too (put her in her ninja outfit to see what I’m talking about). On top of that her combos hit like a frieght train. Let’s also not forget the glorious cosplay. Oh and bonus points for pigtails AKA blowjob handles.
ST: balrog, O.ken, fei long. they all have really good defensive options in a game that limits it to basically 50/50 or worse odds. Also have a lot of playstyles, good normals and damage
Alpha 2/3: (A) guy, charlie, v-ryu, v-cody, v-sodom
3S: Most of the cast, just have a really strong love for this game. Urien, ken, dudley, ryu and ibuki are the most fun imo.
SFxT: Nina, Bob, King, Kazuya, Jin, Cammy, Lili, steve, akuma. This game has a really strong/fun to use high/mid tier and its sad that people are missing out. I love the access to such high mixup potential while also keeping the defensive/mid screen game in tact especially with the characters I listed. I especially like king, imo one of the most unique grapplers put onto the 2D plane, love the tackle properties and normals
VSAV:Bishamon, BB Hood
MVC2: Thanos and the general mid tier (ken, rogue, iceman, charlie, ruby), sentinel and cable
Marvel 3: Don’t really like this game but Dr. Strange, Ammy and Morrigan have nice designs. I always liked vergils design too before people hopped the bandwagon
GG: Slayer, Eddie, Venom, Ino
Virtua Fighter: El Blaze(funny as hell, love his low throw oki game), Akira(frame advantage off many things, guard breaks), Lau(good mids, guard break), Wolf
SC: Nightmare
Tekken: Kazuya, just love his spacing game
CVS2:Rock, maki (god I wish she had better hit confirms though), Rugal, Iori, A-bison (he’s really annoying, but I like how RC makes up for a lot of design problems he traditionally has)
KOF13: Mature, Kyo, Saiki, Robert
Hate:
SF4: guy among many other characters who got their balls chopped off. Seriously what they hell did they do to him… they turned a great design with incredible pokes, walk speeds and AAs to molassus-speed, ‘mixups’ which he was never really based on(he wasn’t even high tier in A3 and he was low in A2), crappy normals (if you think st.mp or st.mk are good the way they are you need to play alpha 2/3. They need to be at least in the range of shoto cr.mk). Then again most characters feel neutered as fuck in this game.
VSAV: Bee and fish especially, Zabel
Virtua Fighter: Taka, jacky, lion. All self-explanatory
ST: claw, chun. Don’t always need to be that skilled and have so-called ‘footsies’ to win with them. O.Sagat: fun to play and annoying as hell to fight, in addition to his AA/fireball game he has a really good jump arc and j.hk range that isn’t easy to AA from max range…
A2: Rose, you have to play a good one to let the hate build up. Sakura also with completely ambiguous j.mk, chun
A3: Akuma
CVS2 blanka. Probably my most hated character of all time
SFxT: Asuka, goddamn she is ass. Don’t be fooled
