SRK most appealing character design

How about:
Dancing on a table naked, with a crapper brush up your ass, singing “I am the princess of ***.s” on the “Machoman” melody?

…I believe this to be more embarassing than playing a girl char in an arcade.

Girlfriend: - Hey Atryu, why the fuck are playing this screaming underaged little bitch when you play your stupid games?
Me: - Because she turns me on!
Girlfriend: - What?!? …that turns you on?!
Me: - Fuck yeah! you should dress like her next time we shag! …and scream “Shou-Shou-Shou-Shououhouuuuuuuken” when you get wet! that’d be cool. thanks! :tup:
Girlfriend: - asshole!
Me: - Bitch!

I play robots…

1. What kind of character design do you like the most usually? (poll)
Voted
2. Which game has for you the best female cast, and why?
King of Fighters because I feel it has the most diverse cast of females throughout any fighting game
3. Which game has for you the best male cast, and why?
Guilty Gear because many popular archetypes are represented very well
4. Is the character design an important criteria for you when you decide to pick a game?
Initially yes, but if game play doesn’t live up to the design i won’t continue playing

That’s what I was saying. Nothing says “slut” more than gushing over your children, being responsible with your finances, and openly rejecting every supposedly handsome male in the game with her win quotes.

Interesting thread.

  1. Taste varies but I always play the ninjas first, then the brutes, then the sluts, then the rest but always gotta check those ninjas first.

  2. Female cast- Soulcalibur. Setsuka, Taki, Sophitia, Mina and Ivy are strong designs and major badass.

  3. Male Cast-3 way tie between DOA, Tekken and KOF-You have a super all around classic videogame hero in Ryu Hayabusa/Ninja Gaiden who is a main character in DOA and a major badass as well. Bass, Leon, Bayman, Brad Wong, Gen-Fu and Jann Lee are very strong designs as well. In Tekken, most men are big evil sacks of douchebag sweaty steroid monkeys which is 99.9% of the male cast…and then Lars. And KOF has classic winning designs with the likes of Terry, the Ikaris, Kim, Jhun, Yamazaki, Billy Kane, Geese Howard, the list goes on.

  4. Yes. Character designs are very important. Gameplay is #1 and designs are #2 for me.

Hope that helps.

I dunno I’ve never been asked, and I openly state that my main is Rachel on msn and use a Rachel AV, probably would explain it in a similar way as if I had to explain why I was playing a big muscly dude wearing only a pair of shorts. (or in the case of guys like zangief, speedos):tup:

eep: poll isn’t looking good for the future of loli characters.

i prefer that my family and girlfriend see me playing with a 16 years old girl before playing with the homo erotic fantasies that some people like to call alternative costume on sf4 :rofl:

the alternate costume of sagat its simply to gay for me

you fuck!!

I realise that I have not answered my own thread… so my 2cts:

  1. What kind of character design do you like the most usually? (poll)

Voted “fighting gal”, I exclusively play girls in fighting games. Being a huge fan fan of fetish porn, I always like how you can beat the crap outta a big muscular guy using a sexy little girlie.

I don’t like loli and “kids” in FG though… they don’t appeal to me at all.

  1. Which game has for you the best female cast, and why?

Guilty Gear, and by far!
All the chars there are very original, completely different in styles (and gameplay), and the girls look really cool there. They’re all very different in both personlaity and design.

I would be motivated to learn how to play all af them if I wasn’t completely obsessed by Jam.

  1. Which game has for you the best male cast, and why?

Not sure what to say here… I am not a big fan of guy-chars in general, but I will say Samurai Spirits (I play Nakoruru and Reira though…).
The charadesign work for this game is fantastic!

I wish SNKP release a 2D SS using the KOFXII engine.

  1. Is the character design an important criteria for you when you decide to pick a game?

Absolutely crucial! I don’t see myself practicing for hours to get good at a game if I don’t like the characters in the first place.

Yeah how does wanting to look at a chick instead of some muscly sweaty dude on the screen constitute you being gay? This is something I’ve never understood.

gotta go with the stylish/flashy characters

rufus, abel, viper, ken, ryu, etc.

i also have a soft spot in my heart for Hsien-ko, just because flying around the screen like a pendulum of death is amazing.

Iunno, I’d have to say that KOF has the best cast of non-slutty female fighters. You have Athena, Mary, Kasumi Todoh, King, Kagura, Yuri, Leona, Kula, Vice, Mature and Vanessa. They have a diverse moveset between them.

Vice and Mature are very slutty.

That’s their gimmick.

Yeah, yeah… KOF has a nice girls rooster. I agree with that. (it would definitely be my second choice).
But I just have waaay too much love for Jam, Milia, In-o and Baiken! I have to go with GGXX for the favourite girls cast.

(…and who said I don’t like slutty? ^^ )

1. What kind of character design do you like the most usually? (poll)
I usually float towards the oddball characters (Dhalsim, Blanka, Oro), which would explain my love for pretty much the entire Darkstalkers cast. Though I also like characters who tend have a bit more style in their movesets (Dee Jay, Rufus).

2. Which game has for you the best female cast, and why?
If my avatar doesn’t give it away I’ll say Darkstalkers, as I tend to like gothic style looking chicks (Lilith being one of my favorite game characters) but there’s also a few oddball females there as well such Q-Bee. KOF gets an honorable mention as well for a few badasses like King and Elizabeth.

3. Which game has for you the best male cast, and why?
I like Street Fighters roster of general stereotypes personally. The Japanese sumo, the American military man, the patriotic Russian wrestler, and Spanish pretty boy for example all seem to blend so well together in a fighting game. A shout goes to Tekken as well for, as was stated earlier, for having men who actually look like men, and some of which are badass to boot.

4. Is the character design an important criteria for you when you decide to pick a game?
It’s not a deciding factor, because as with most the gameplay comes first. But a colourful cast of characters is of course a huge plus to the game.

If that was too long to read I’ll sum up by saying I like goth chicks, mutants, stereotypes, and non-girly men.

And that’s what I got.

sagat’s alt is meh…now those ryu, abel, and fei long alts are quite nice :blush: almost makes me want to play the boring ass game.

Remember that one Dr Subzero podcast where he was discussing how the character you play represents who you are on the inside?

Dayum, a *lot *of people use girl characters.

Does that mean if I use chicks a lot, I’m actually a chick on the inside? Even if I am a straight male? Hmmm…I think Dr Subzero should stick to throwing ice pellets and ripping people’s heads off.:bgrin:

?..
Anyone has more info on this?
I was always very interested on how the character you play is linked to your personality.

Not that I would take it seriously… but you know, I guess it has just as much value as astrology (if not more).

Well, the poll is basically the characters you like the most, not necessarily that you play the most.

I guess most people play the chars they like though… except for the “I play only top tier”-dudes.

I like the characters from Guilty Gear. And, I like Guilty Gear. Tell them that my opinion is the same as everyone else’s and to MAKE ANOTHER GUILTY GEAR.
