Shingo is definitely not a joke character because he’s actually pretty good. He’s more along the lines of Sakura than say someone like Dan.

22

Shingo is more comparable to Sean.

23

Shitload of comparisons:

24

You say that but you don’t see waves of girls screaming for more Rasputin

25

Forgot Wang Jinrei

26

I also forgot one of the greatest.

Also, How the hell have traps been brought up with no mention of Shion?

27

Because only real hardy russian men fangirl for Rasputin.

28

Dominatrix- Ivy(Soul Calibur)

29

you forgot zoop zoop Zero.

30

Calm and collected Ninja- Hayabusa and Hayate(DOA), Kage(Virtua Fighter)

31

I was mostly referring to characters that are definitely not human or remotely human. Jack comes close in his early iterations, but later games have had refined enough graphics to show that he is more of a machine modeled after a human form than an android, like Zero.
But anyway, ZOOP ZOOP!

32

Altered version of existing character=Evil Ryu, Nests Kyo, Mr. Karate, Oni Akuma, Robo Ky, Rera

Kunoichi=Ibuki, Mai, Baiken (sort of), Valentine (sort of)

33

@RagingDemonStorm Roll is not a joke character in tvc, G.Lightnan on the other hand…
@yah yaahh b*tch! Mother character-C.Viper(SFIV Series), Black Athlete/Rapper- zack(DOA Series), TJ Combo(KI)

34

Huh? How do you get kunoichi from her?

35

I was thinking the same. If anything Baiken is the bad ass samurai type.
Though she also falls into the “I’m so strong I can beat you with one hand tied behind my back”…type.

36

There’s gay and then there’s straight up cruising for gay sex on a park bench.

37

Baiken would be a Ronin like Mitsurugi. Only thing Ninja-ish about Baiken is she’s got a 100 tricks up her sleeve (Doohohoho)

38

What is with family men like Guile or Hakan? Are they fitting to this and were they mentioned here?

39

Guile and Hakan are family men for different reasons

Guile is a family man because thats what America stands for or something

Hakan is a family man to make sure to everyone else playing it, that he isn’t gay

40

It’s sad that that actually makes sense.
