Popular character types from an aesthetic perspective

Current Fighting Games Fighting Game Discussion
41

Not necessarily, families in third world countries like Turkey do have a lot of children.

42

Altered is nothing. Alt versions that are pretty original is pretty great. Like Nest Kyo, Oni, Order-Sol, and Robo Ky. They’re actually a lot more creative outside of SF.

43

Do you actually know, what the meaning of a “third world country” is?

44

Damn did I say gypsies and forget Rose?

45

Not exactly from fighting games but I just remembered Jackie Chun from Dragon Ball and Gen.

46

Turkey is hardly a third world country.

47

Now now, Everyone knows Turkey is just a third world shit hole. I mean really, look at all this nothing.

Horrible. Clearly inferior to Merika.

48

Not even ONE McDonalds, Walmart, KFC, Harley-Davidson, Ford, Football Stadium, or Taco Bell in sight.
Utter garbage, all of it.

49

My favourite character type is Jackie Chan!

In Jackie Chan in Fists of Fire, there are three different Jackie Chans!

50

Another character trope: Loud & Highly Visible Ninjas that barely carry out assassinations.

  • The guy who thinks he’s hot shit cause he’s good with weapon(s) even though most of the roster is unarmed.

  • The murderous fighter intent on killing even though nobody really dies during battles (except for final bosses).

  • The female with a serious demeanor but has one of the skimpiest exaggerated outfits in the game.

  • The rather large character who’s usually the training dummy for combo videos.

  • The blatant perverted chick with fetish enticing moves.

  • The comical fighter whose moveset consists of unintentional and accidental attacks.

  • Boxers who use kick moves.

  • Mimic Fighters (shoutout to SCV.)

52

I prefer how SNK characters look over Street Fighter characters. The NEO GEO graphics were cooler than the CPS1&2 graphics. 3rd Strike looks great, but then they went 3D and the characters look generic. KOF 13 on the other hand looks like modern anime and thats cool.

53

I dont regard this as a compliment!
KOF style comes closer to the realistic and serious style of the 80s anime intended for adults.

Even if inbetween some cuter characters were inserted. also, newer Mai caters more to boobsploitation fans

54

Mai has always been boobsploitation, every other character is well designed imo, except maxima.

55

do not judge a country before visiting

Totally forgot about the Mokujin type

Mokujin Combot Tetsujin Olcadan Edge Master Inferno Charade Kilik Kenny Twelve

58

Off topic since we’re discussing archetypes not styles. That said, I hate hoe moe-fied Athena and Yuri have become.

59

I find athena sticks out like a sore thumb, she directly clashes with the art style of the rest of the cast

60

Athena and Yuri have always been hella moe, stop being stupid.
