I recently got into Muay Thai from watching Champions of Champions Elite on G4TV (awesome show!!!) and I’m also really looking forward to the King’s Cup on the 22nd.
What I was wondering was, are there any video game characters who use this style of fighting…?
As much as I hate to spoil the joke, I can’t leave a man hanging: There are two in SSF4 (I’ll leave it to you to find out who they are), although the accuracy of the depictions of fighting styles in Street Fighter is not undebated. Also the UFC games have it as one of their default styles, I think.
Tekken: Bruce and Bryan (although Bryan is american kick boxing, its quite similar to muay thai)
Virtua Fighter: Brad Burns
Street Fighter: Sagat and Adon
Thats the list from the games I play. There is also obviously MMA and UFC which are also on consoles.
Dee Jay is also supposed to a kickboxer. Western style like Bryan Fury. Granted, Bryan has gradually become less about kickboxing and more about being insane and just punching the hell out of things.
In VF4 Vanessa used to have it until it was decided Brad needed some ammo to run on. I thought it was favorable before because she’s the only character I know of who could switch styles with it.
Oh no mention of King yet either KOF/Art of Fighting.
