like as a person? like myers-briggs or your zodiac or whatever? personally mine are street fighter 2: guile tekken: bryan fury soul calibur: mitsurugi mortal kombat: scorpion smash bros: samus idk i'm looking at it and i guess there's no real summation to draw here, no common thread. i can't really prove my own thesis even just using myself as a sample. it's sort of all over the place. sorry for this thread.

Idk the only game I've played like that is Marvel vs Capcom. All I did was button mash because I'd never played before and all of a sudden Freddie Mercury is beating a raccoon with a pipe.

Bison not balrog. I knew he was a usa boxer who was black and huge. Just today maybe nearly 2 decades later i realise m. Bison sounds like mike tyson

Otisburg posted:like as a person? like myers-briggs or your zodiac or whatever? I think if you played enough of the game to be legit good at it then yeah the archtypes you gravitate to would be more consistent and probably a reflection of how you try to handle challenges in life. Do you want to be the person on offence, making the other player respond to your choices or do you want to be reacting to what they do, so on and so forth with all the variations of those styles and anything in between. If you mostly play the games casually then your choices are probably more about flavor and who looks cool/strong rather than an indication of anything. Team based games like mmos, mobas, tf2, etc, would probably be even better for this though as they allow for roles (like a character that is mostly supportive of their teammates but can't do much on their own) that you wouldn't really see in fighting games.

Did anyone else learn fighting games from like sf2 and mortal combat and from that point on when talking to your friends about how to do moves you'd just be like "so you do a sub zero for that" or "it's like a sonic boom" rather than describing the motion. I feel like even the fgc just says "dp motion" or w/e half the time instead of whatever dumb numbered notations they use nowadays.

ArbitraryC posted:I completely agree and don't really see anything wrong with their character design because it's a game-game not some sort of piece of story driven media fit for social commentary, it'd be like complaining why whitey gets to go first in chess. I'm just generally surprised at how little flack they get for some of their really over the top designs like t hawk, deejay, boxer, etc. Really the only time I've seen the usual suspects whine about character design being problematic it's just stuff like mika's outfit or this hilarious bug during dev demos. and yet nobody complains about cammy throwing out the sieg heil problematic imo

I pick Yoshimitsu or whatever that robot dude from Tekken is called. Only reason I do is because I once accidentally killed my opponent by committing hara-kiri and I only had a sliver of health left but my opponent ran into my lightsaber (that I just stabbed through my own robot heart) and died. It was really cool and it's the only fighting game thing I remember hth

It was really cool and it's the only fighting game thing I remember hth this is probably in the top 10 fighting game moves of all time, because of how absurd it was. super slow and telegraphed and ridiculously short range, plus it took away like a ton of your health but if you hit the other guy with it he was basically auto-dead at least that's how i remember it
