Weird fact:


I started using Chun-Li in SFIII and Terry in Garou: MOW.

Shingo is best in KoF98, I think. He loses his counter, the three jump kick, and the ability to do criticals after that. Why did they weaken poor Shingo after '98? Same reason they weakened almost everyone else, I guess...

Of course,I GOTTA list my two favorite characters in my favorite versions.

Cammy(Delta Red)-Seemed more powerful and the outfit was better than the Shadoloo.

Talbain(DS2 and 3)-I never played the NW version,but that and the DS3 are my favorites. Especially DS3,where he gained an awesome super(Moment Slice).

Others include:
Billy Kane-'98 version
Terry-2k1 version
Dudley-2nd Impact
Hibiki-CvS2
Athena-2k
Felicia-DS
Rolento-CvS2

OK, this is funny, let's go:


-Kim Kaphwan: KOF98 or CvS2, I can't decide... In one he has the most impressive combos of all his life, and in the other is his perfect KOF incarnation...

-Vega(claw): SFA3 a little bit over CvS2, because I rediscovered him in SFA3. I seem to be more effective with him in CvS2, but...

-Ryu: SF3TS is his best incarnation. I like the change, more mature and powerful, although loosing speed. Before the SF3 series, I didn't cared about Ryu that much...

-Guile: This may surprise some, but... SFEX+Alpha. He conserved the classic SF gameplay, but gained some great combos, and a great super: Opening Gambit.

-Spiderman: Marvel Super Heroes. In the vs games he is too weak.

-Goro Daimon: KOF98. So powerful that's even cheap. His pre-96 versions are not good, in my opinion.

-Terry: Mark of the Wolves, of course! The Buster Wolf is one of those supers that appear once in a while (like Shin Shoryuken, Final Shodown, Houou Kyaku...)

Not fighting game contribution:
-Link: As for now, and until I play the GC version, my favorite Link is the Majora's Mask one... Yes, don't look me like that! For me, Link has always been a kid between 10 and 14 years, not the young Link in his late teens of OoT. I like young link more, and the MM version is his best incarnation, because he is an experienced adventurer, and that is noticeable in his recovered weapons: not wooden shield, and not slingshot, but bow.

Sakura is in SFA3

ah me too. all the characters imo are pretty balanced in SFA3. i can choose Sakura and don't have to worry about Sagat or Blanka taking me down easily

I'll take any post 97 Athena that's not the shitty CVS2 one

agred!!! WTF is wrong with Capcom?!! they made her so god damn weak, it's not even funny

Leona in KOF98. first, i like how her charged up DM KICK looks. her hair turns red and she goes insane with that Orochi stirring in her. it is SO god damn sweet when it lands. second, i like her KICK move where she jumps, lands on the opponent's head, and slashes. they later replaced it with that PUNCH which is an ok move, but i like the other one better

I like to see characters evolve since I'm big on story. There's alot of characters I can't comment on due to my inexperience in comparison to others here but:

M.Bison: CvS1 - Plays rather original
Vatsu: I like Kurow but it's something about the mixed style.
Sakura: CvS2 - Seems more "true" to what her fighting style should be
Roll: MvC1 - They toned her down in MvC2. HOW DID THAT HAPPEN???

Terry: KoF 99
Blue Mary: KoF 99

(for those two, keep in mind i haven't played 2k or 2k1)

Ken: SF3
Ibuki: SF3

Meh. The rising tackle is cool, but Terry probably doesn't have the rising tackle because of the redundancy. Besides, I'm basing this more on Terry's look and attitude. He seems more mellow in MotW.

Dan- Marvel Vs Capcom 2: has that whacky picture throwing move.

Dr.Baldhead/Faust- GGX/GGXX: he was too psychopathic in GG1 for me to really like him, although the Mad Surgery was cool.

Guile- CvS2: has all sorts of neat super moves

Chun-Li- SF3:3rd Stike: She's animated nicely and has a nicer style in opinion.
