Archaon Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 ...that you really like, but can't use to save your life? Mine's Raphael of the Soul Calibur series. He's got style, no question, but he's also a real badass when you think about it. Pretty much everyone in the Soul Calibur universe has some kind of advantage, be it an enchanted weapon, a suit of armour, magical powers or just being really friggin' big. Raphael's got nothing but a plain old rapier and some fancy clothes, and yet he can go toe to toe with the likes of Nightmare and Darth Vader. Except when I use him. I don't know what it is, but I just can't seem to get the hang of his moves. No matter how much I dodge and weave with his Preparations or try to bust out a nice juggle, I almost always just seem to end up spamming 6BBB until someone's KOed. Same thing applies to Slayer in the Guilty Gear series. Damned cool and sophisticated character that I haven't got a hope in hell of beating anyone with, ever. EDIT: How the hell did this get in here? THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE IN COMMUNITY. WHERE IS THE DELETE BUTTON OH GOD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmazinJason Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 I almost always just seem to end up spamming 6BBB until someone's KOed. I was under the assumption that that was how Raphael was supposed to be played. At least that's how people play him when they go up against me. But really, I would have to say Lieselotte Achenbach from Arcana heart. She has the same last name as me, which was quite surprising considering the name. But she's impossible, uses a puppet.

relyanCe Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 for some reason, I can't competently play any Street Fighter shotokan character other than Akuma. I absolutely shred with Akuma, but if I dare try using Ryu or Ken or whoever, I fail so bad... Maybe i'll have some luck with Gouken. Also, in the Marvel fighting games, I could never seem to use Hulk right... My Soul Calibur fail character is Maxi. I always wanna play him, but I don't think I've ever won with him...

Dhsu Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 If I like a character I'll use them until I'm good (or at least not terrible) with them. Faust 4 LIFE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fratto Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 If I like a character I'll use them until I'm good (or at least not terrible) with them. This is how I am too. Except that cactus fucker in the Marvel vs Capcom 2 game. I wanted so badly to be able to kick ass with a giant sombrero cactus, but I couldn't make it happen. EDIT: Apparently his name is Amingo and wasn't from Marvel or a previous Capcom release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuketheXjesse Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Mr. Game and Watch in Melee I KICK ASS with him in Brawl though. Can't say the same for Rob the robot though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flare4War Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Roy from Super Smash Bros. is like that bad for me. I'm always selecting him. I have no idea why since I lose every time. Especially since I'm formidable with Link and Falco. Not like youtube video insane but formidable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted so badly to be able to kick ass with a giant sombrero cactus, but I couldn't make it happen. EDIT: Apparently his name is Amingo and wasn't from Marvel or a previous Capcom release. Ooh, MvC2. Totally forgot about that one. Hayato. I swear to Christ and all that is holy that I CANNOT make his plasma combos to work. I can get maybe one or two of them to execute properly, but the rest just refuse to come out no matter how many times I try and no matter how I push the buttons. And it's not like I'm just looking at a bad command list either. I mean, they're plastered all over the Internet. Every single movelist I've looked at for Hayato has the exact same list of plasma combos and ALMOST NONE OF THEM WORK. And it can't possibly be that I'm pressing the buttons wrong, because one of them just involves holding back and pressing HP twice. That's it. AND IT DOESN'T EVER WORK.

friendlyHunter Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Samus in Brawl. Every character in Guilty Gear (only because my opponent is always better than me). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flare4War Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 How could I not mention Guile. People are so good with him too. I've always wanted to be good with him. If I pick him I just get my ass handed to me in a lunch basket every time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyuura Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Taki for Soul Calibur. Captain Falcon for SSB. Why is he too man for me to handle!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fratto Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Captain Falcon for SSB. Why is he too man for me to handle!? I have a hard time with him because he's so damn fast, but I feel like his moves are so slow. The contrast kills me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flare4War Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 I have a hard time with him because he's so damn fast, but I feel like his moves are so slow. The contrast kills me. It's true. I tried and tried to get good with him. He runs like a motherfucker and his moves feel as slow as Bowser's. Well...maybe not that bad, but bad.

Fratto Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 I didn't include him because I don't really care that I suck with him. As for Dhsu's feelings about forcing yourself, that was Jigglypuff for me in SSB. I still won't win the match if the people I'm playing are good, but I forced myself to get good enough with Jigglypuff that I wouldn't be the first dead or the one with the least kills.

Nyuura Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 I have a hard time with him because he's so damn fast, but I feel like his moves are so slow. The contrast kills me. Pre-cise-ly. I can't think of any other character with an insane running speed and ungodly slow Smash attacks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueMage Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Ken, in SF3AU. Same basic kind of moveset as Ryu and Akuma, yet different enough that I just can't find the same rythym. Dan, on the other hand, dresses like a pansy (or a breast cancer supporter) and is somehow awesome in my hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueMage Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Doublepost lol Karin in SFA3. I swear, you can't play her as an offensive character - you have to treat her as a counter-offensive player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it just me or in SC2 was her vagina pulled down to her knees? Dan, on the other hand, dresses like a pansy (or a breast cancer supporter) and is somehow awesome in my hands. I LOVE playing Dan, there's nothing like owning with 1 ft range GADOKEN! He runs like a motherfucker and his moves feel as slow as Bowser's. Well...maybe not that bad, but bad. Awww, Captain Falcon and Bowser are my best characters. -cryface- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
