In the Nakoruru OAV thread, I expressed my dislike of her and her status as the main female mascot for SNK. So, I want to hear other people's choices for the male and female mascots/spokespeople for SNK and Capcom. As for me:

SNK: Kyo and Athena, these two are the center of SNK, if you ask me.

Capcom: Ryu and Cammy. Cammy's kind of iffy, especially with her current sprite, but IMO Capcom has a horrid lack of awesome female characters. She needs a friggin' sprite redraw!

Capcom: Ryu and Cammy


No one but Stefan and his clone T.E. like Cammy enough for her to be considered a "mascot" Capcom has been and always will be all about Chun-Li!

SNK:Terry and Mai
Capcom:Ryu and Chun-Li

hmmm... "lack of female characters" and "Cammy" in the same sentence? We need to call Mulder here!
The historical mascots were G Mantle for SNK and the Yashichi and Mobichan for Capcom. I'm not sure though Mobichan would perfectly fit in a fighting game as it is...

As cool as Cammy is, she is just one character, the ONLY female Capcom character I really like, while SNK has half a dozen, at least.

Dr B: Psht! It's the same with Ryu and Chun,people like them,and people hate them. Besides,they're pracitcally always represented and they're boring to death already.

Anyway,my picks(you guys may think these unfair)

Capcom: Cammy,Talbain,MegaMan and Strider

SNK: Kula,Billy Kane,Vanessa,Geese

Yes! Cammy needs a new sprite so badly!

Cammy was barely enough as a main character for Cannon Spike, but anyway...

I'd say Capcom's mascots should be Captain Commando and either Miss Tron or Chun-Li (The only reason I'm mentioning Chun-Li is because of her 10+ years as the #1 female fighter)

Oh, who am I kidding? The Servbots should be the Mascots! All 41 of them!

Okay! Someone with more time than me and roms for a Metal Slug game and the old Psycho Soldier game must Photoshop Athena into MS. Anyone who does will get a cookie.

Is this who SHOULD be the mascot, or who WOULD be the mascot? If the latter, Ryu or Megaman are rather high contenders for capcom, though IMHO neither look very good as mascots for a company (note: That has nothing to do with whether or not they're good characters. They just don't seem like the type of character to be a mascot)

Typically when I think of mascots, I think of something that's cute or has attitude (neither Megaman nor Ryu are 'badass' type characters, and Kyo seems too... heroic). Reiko for Namco, Sonic for Sega, Mario for Nintendo (well, Mario lives in a whimsical world, at least...)

...the Dolls are cute. :P

...ah well. Oreo. *is yanked off comp by family*

Kyo can suck donkey nuts. Terry is THE male icon of SNK. Always has been, always will be.
Female icon is Mai, no doubt. Rival of Chun-li, and the first prominent fanservice female in a fighting game. Athena wishes she could achieve such status.

Capcom's mascots...Megaman and Chun-li. Megaman helped bring Capcom to the limelight, and Chun-li made headlines as the first female ever in a fighting game.

Yeah, SNK Masks which ended up being a character, and Captain Comando. Can you identify Yashichi and Mobichan please? One of them's Captain Commando right. The other from Megaman maybe?

Errrrr...I thought mascots should belong to those non-human or cartoony kind...Like Super Mario is to Nintendo and Sonic is to Sega?

Can't really figure out an appropriate icon for SNK Mascot...The ducks in Fatal Fury 2 and FFS just works for FF...
Capcom = Megaman.

Phssha! Cammy is FAR more boring then Chun-Li, we already have Guile and Charlie, why she's just a third wheel on their macho miliary man boat... and Dan's far funnier joke character anyway.

Mobichan is the SD version of the Mobile Armor of a shooting game released in 87, Side Arm. It began as a secret item and then became a mascot of Capcom, appearing in many places (cursor when you select "arcade/VS/Option" in a street fighter, victory sign when you win with a chouhatsu in SFZero2, etc.)
Yashichi is a thingie that looks like a wheel red and white. It appeared in the first Capcom arcade game, Bargas (spelling?). It appeared as a secret bonus in many games after that (maybe in the first G&G? it worthed 5000 points if I remember well) and in a few fighting as a cursor, a victory mark in Zero2 (after two draw games, I think) or a password item in Warzard.
For example, Yashichi appeared at a frequency of 1/256 as a anki of Leilei in Savior (but in the Saturn version, if you changed certain settings and her color, it could drop to 48/256, or 3/16).

I like Cammy too! Along with Mika and Birdie she's one of the better characters in Alpha if you ask me (I'm not a fan of this series). About mascots, for Capcom either King Arthur or Chun-Li and for SNK, Kula, Iori, K' or the Metal Slug

Yashichi was also a hidden bonus item in Mega Man 1 on the last level.

And Mobichan (I didn't know the name before) is a powerup in UN Squadron too.

But wasn't Pure & Fur supposed to be Capcom mascots?

Capcom-------->Megaman. This si clear as water.

SNK----------->Classic Athena, or maybe Terry, this is not clear. SNK most relevant aspect is their varied fighting games, not a game in particular.

Personally I always liked that Capcom and SNK have kept their mascots decentralized and not ended up with official spokescharacters like Mario or Sonic. This free-for-all approach means that a lot more characters get to show up in pictures the art department cranks out. But if Capcom had to settle on one image that encapsulated the company my vote would be for that big hunk of meat with a bone sticking out of it that you can occasionally find by kicking open trash cans.
