Nah, I think he’s referring to the ones that just sit there and spam hurricane kicks.
JR’s decent enough that when you lose to him, you know you lost because he’s better than you - opposed to the ones where you know you lost because the lag + hurricanes made you fuck up your red parries into 100% bullshit punish to scrubby ass Akumas. Nobody likes to lose to scrubs because of factors outside of their control.
Juri: The only good thing to come out of the SF4 line. I still hate the game and don’t play it, but I really like her design and personality. Easily one of the better Capcom designs in the past few years.
Kairi (SFEX): By EX2 and even more in EX3 they distinguished his play style and he was very different than the other shotos. Great look and story to him as well.
Mai Shiranui: Always liked her better than Chun Li from the anime to the games. She’s pretty fun (although sometimes useless) in almost every fighter she’s in, a classic IMO.
Dizzy: I don’t play GG either, but I love everything about this character from looks to watching matches of her.
Ukyo (SS)
Human Ogre
Reptile
Skarlet (best new MK design since MK3)
Cyrax
The Jin twins (FF)
Skullomania
D. Dark
Hated:
Akuma: I know this is probably blasphemy, but I’m really sick of this mother fucker popping up in everything. I don’t even mind his look or fighting against him, I just find it annoying that he’s considered the be all end all of fighting game characters when he’s not even that original to begin with.
Almost all the new SF4 characters: I don’t know how we went from awesome original designs 15-20 years ago to shit like Rufus, Seth, and Fuerte.
Bao (KOF): Design, fighting against, voice, you name it…fuck this little prick.
Noob Saibot: Another case of nonsense gone too far. I consider him the Akuma of MK but unlike Akuma he was never a good design or even interesting at any point.
Almost all the new MK characters from MK4 onward minus a very select few.
Remy
R. Mika
Lars
Benimaru
Franco Bash (FF)…what an awful design, always stuck with me.
