You know how it goes. If it’s not a character from the big three ( Street Fighter, MK, Tekken, ) That character doesn’t matter. With a few exceptions of course. I.E Darkstalkers ladies thanks to MVC series and other crossovers. Mai Shuranui etc.
It amazes me that this is still an issue, and some would even swear up and down that as long as a character is in a fighting game they are a fighting game character regardless of origin. Like when one gets that loose with the definition of a fighting game character. They open the door for just about anyone to be a fighting game character. like hell thanks to Def Jam fighting series. By that logic we can call several rappers fighting game characters. Which is absurd seeing as how they are real people. But hell lets roll with this. I nominate Kimora Lee Simons for a spot on this list because she was in Def Jam Fight For NY.
And there definitely needs to be more than just SF, MK, Tekken & Vampire/Darkstalker characters, they took up 8 out of 10 slots! Needs more variety. Where’s female characters from other fighters like Guilty Gear, Soul Calibur, Smash, etc.?
BlazBlue, Dead or Alive, SkullGirls, Killer Instinct, even?
The character doesn’t need to originate in fighting games.
Storm in a lot of fighting games actually also makes her a fighting game character, aside from being a comic character. And she deserves to be in the top 10 list because she has become a popular character to use, especially in Marvel vs Capcom 2.
If the characters are in a fighting game, then they are a fighting game character. The question now is have they become very popular in fighting games?
Blazblue game hasn’t stepped up but if I have mentioned some female characters from less popular fighting games, I will be adding Noel Vermillion to the bubbling under list at least.
I have a question. Is Millia Rage the most popular female character in Guilty Gear?
And if this list had a shred of credibility to begin with, it’s gone now. So lets continue with this logic for giggles. Here’s my top 10 in no order
Kimora Lee Simons: Def Jam Fight for NY
Bayonetta: Smash Bros
Princess Peach: Smash Bros
Zelda: Smash Bros
Tigress: Kung Fu Panda, Kung Fu Rumble
Nico Robin: Insert One Piece fighting game
Sakura: Insert Naruto Fighting game
Android 18: Insert DragonBall Z fighting game
