Fighting: Characters like Rachel Alucard, Vega(claw),Balrog(boxer), Sakura, Cervantes (SC). Not heavy chainers but have some finesse despite not always chaining their attacks in streams like Sagat/Ken/Rufus etcetera.
FPS: I've always preferred the punch of the shotgun and revolvers despite having a slower rate of fire. I'd rather hit hard and push the enemy back than chip away as they charge. Not afraid to rush up on some one's face with a shotgun to their face/weakpoint which can surprise them alot of times. Also I love using Heavy Weapons Guy with KGBs to surprise them around the corner.
Shmups/bullet hell: Touhou series, Gradius, R-Type, Ikaruga, Matt Hazard:BB&B.
Real life: Boxing (can do a variety of styles, can be southpaw by choice too, have to for work as well), Paintball (prefer to sneak up on the enemy asap and generally will)
Essentially I prefer to react to most things on the fly with great flexibility both mentally and physically; doesn't mean I can't memorize though.
