Balrog.
Oozes personality (all his win quotes, laughing during his dirty ass Headbutts, shit he says during Ultra/Super/KO screen) and I like his moveset.
I main Ken because I like to win by mashing DP counter hits.
I main jump back shoto and 3 frame jab spams
Also, I sub Abel, Dan, Bison (Dictator):
Abel: A grappler I can actually use! I could never get the hang of 360s, but the HCB TT and DP Falling Sky make him a viable option for me. Also, Soullessing TIGER made me happy.
Dan: How can you not love the guy. And he’s actually got some decent tricks in this iteration.
Bison: Another charge character to complement Guile, Devil’s Reverse shenanigans are too much fun, and he covers some of Guile’s worst matchups. Besides, gotta let my evil streak out somehow.
Do you think J Wong mains Rufus because he’s fat?
Do you think Daigo mains Ryu because he is Asian and looks homeless?
Well Im still trying to get a main in ssf4 but I will tell u why I am choosing Roo (RYU).
I started with juri, she was soo hype then I played her and I was like gtfo lol.
Next I went with a character I didn’t really care about at first Dudley. I started liking but then the more i played the more i saw that 1 No one plays him, and 2 His matches are soo hard sometimes. (I mained chun in vanilla)
Then I was like fuck it Roo time, and Im enjoying him now.
Now my second is chun (former main)
I saw an old match of nuki i believe vs some ken she did j fp ex sbk ultra, and I thought that was gdlk (I never tried learning a fighting game at that point) then the more I played her the more i had fun… But a year passed and with super coming out with all these new chars she slowly fell through the cracks of my hype for juri.
Abel: He was the character all my friends bitched about constantly, so I started playing him and really loved his play style.
Dictator: Honestly I always sucked with charge so I started messing with bison here and there, over time he just grew into my secondary, his mix of rush-down and footsies just clicks with my play style.
I have been a Chun li fan before for years going back as far as the original SF2. After that I didn’t play her again until 3s and again with SF4 overall. I don’t care about what she looks like but I only wanted to play her because of her style of play especially in SSF4. I prefer real females over imaginary ones any day of the week besides the chances of seeing someone as good lucking as Chun in reality isn’t likely to happen seriously.
Main: Guy, because he’s just too badass.
Sub: Working on Ryu because I need a solid character for Guy’s bad matchups, and I’ve been messing around with Dan online. People are VERY scared of him! I started playing him for the lulz and basically didn’t care whether I won or not, and I’ve been winning a lot! I rush bitches down and they just crumble. I guess no one knows the matchup.
i main with dudley because he was the first person i was able to clear all his trials. since then, i stuck with him and he grew on me.
Vega because,
He actually has a personality, instead of being a retarded brute,
He’s a charge character,
His attacks have incredible range,
He gets out of pressure easily with walldives and backflips,
He’s more of a defensive melee character, pure rushdown really isn’t me, but projectiles bore the hell out of me because it feels like you’re just using the same attack over and over again,
And, his narcissism and obsession with his own beauty is just too awesome =)
Subs are: Chun Li, Bison, and Dan =)
I play Abel because nobody else has strong enough offense
I would have mained Rufus if they used one of the original concepts for him (black guy who looked like afro samurai + Ken’s alternate 1 costume)
i mained Makoto because really and truly shes beast when u know how to use her plus i wanted to try somone new and i always use her taunt when she says hurry up to all those turtling idiots
o and NOTHING BEATS RENDO-KAN KARATE
i main bison because i secretly want to fuck other guys
my mains are the shoto bros
ken - for happy battles (ranked/endless)
ryu - for serious battles (endless)
(sub)
akuma/gouki - for fun (endless)
Cammy - there seems to be a point where a character makes sense, and you learn something that’s fun and effective and has lots of scope, with Cammy it was her dive kicks, to really throw people off and keep them on the back foot (aside from godly reversal chars ofc!) Once I got that whole routine semi-automatic, I always had great fun keeping on top of people. I also play with a really nervy guy who really, really screams every time I ex-hooligan and jumps backwards, though he knows not to and it’s retarded. That in itself is funny as hell 
Guile - I don’t like to play turtle, but as with Cammy there’s a kind of clicking point. If you’re keeping fairly in their face as Guile, he seems to have great control. You can more or less safely stand in front of your enemy and he’s got a punch or a kick to poke out to beat most things, which I guess is massively frustrating to fight against, but beats turtling for fun’s sake.
The feeling you’re controlling the fight when all’s going well as Guile is great. And when you get people in the corner… well, that’s so entertaining!
As I mentioned, there are other chars that I see something and think “Ohhh yeah” - right now I’m learning a bit more Sakura. Her combos just feel fun to land. Kind of a “wtf, you’re Sakura! You’re not supposed to keep people in hitstun for 8 second combos with your Shunpukyaku nonsense!” (yeah, I’ve never really played her before, so go easy on me! I was wasted several times a few weeks ago by an amazing Sakura who made her seem so much fun)
Makoto
at least i WANT to main makoto before i started playing my friend used to always tell me how “low tier” she is,and i always believed every character is good you just have to know how to use them.
Cody because hes sooo gangsta.ive been playing sfa3 ever since i was like 9 and I ALWAYS played as him.and i main him now in ssf4
Adon because hes crazy o_o
and Cammy ckuz of her nice big ass
No homo?
SF: Bison - Why? He’s a fucking dictator. He sells drugs, weapons, and probably has a prostitution ring somewhere.
BlazBlue - Tager - Why? Real Soviet damage.
GuiltyGear - Potemkin - Why? Real Soviet damage.
Soul Calibur - Yoshimitsu - Why? He’s hilarious.
