Ever have a character in a fighting game...

[LuketheXjesse]

Awww, Captain Falcon and Bowser are my best characters. -cryface-

HAHAHA I knew a guy who won with bowser a lot and when he won he would get up and get really loud yelling "BOW to BOWser~! BOW to BOWSER~! BOW to BOWser~!" for the longest time.

[Nekofrog]

I really really really really really like Zangief but I'm only moderately good with him.

[Kenobio]

I really like Dudley from SF3: Third Strike but I could never get as good with him compared to most people. Anyone who shows up to a fight in a luxury car is pretty cool in my book!

"Gutter Trash!"

[DjSammyG]

Dan, on the other hand, dresses like a pansy (or a breast cancer supporter) and is somehow awesome in my hands.

You do NOT hate on Dan fucking Hibiki.

On a similar note, I wish I could play vega. I can never seem to get the charge moves right.

Benimaru, too, in most of the SNK games, is a character I wish I was better with- I'm decent, but I can never really consistently chain that kick thing that you need to do.

What else-

Uh, OH Blue Mary. I really wanna get the hang of her throws and shit. that'd be baller.

[Rambo]

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.

Just use the Knee+knee+knee combo. It's a winner!

[Raziellink]

Rock Howard and King from CvS2.

Charlie from SFA.

Maxi from SC.

And a lot more.

[friendlyHunter]

Falcon Lose!

Falcon Kick can be pretty fast (but don't use it too often), and his backwards air move is fast too (but don't use that too often either). The knee is great, but you'll never hit your opponent with it if you use it too often.

Also: I have a hard time with SONIC because he's so damn fast, but I feel like his moves are so slow. The contrast kills me.

[Edit]

On second thought, I'm pretty bad at Brawl; take my Falcon advice with a grain of PAUNCH!!

[SwordBreaker]

Really wish I can become a pro with Zangief. He's just so damn big and heavy, and his moves are hard to pull off on the fly. So when I pick him, all I do is try and rotate the pad 360 degrees in combination with a punch and kick hoping for a cool suplex to pop up. It's cheap...but it works and it's fun.

Also, King DeDeDe from Brawl. Same problem as Zangief. Heavy and slow. But his moves are so powerful. I don't win as much when I pick him.

My friend has the same problem when picking Ivy. She has some pretty good combos...but he just can't string them all together for a win. On that note...Taki and Ivy are so...distracting.

[Nyuura]

This is because anyone that actually picks Taki just wants to stare at ninja bewbs.

HAHA YA GOT ME

[relyanCe]

Is it just me or in SC2 was her vagina pulled down to her knees?

Pretty sure it's just you. That would be, well... inconvenient?

I LOVE playing Dan, there's nothing like owning with 1 ft range GADOKEN!

'nuff said.

[friendlyHunter]

I always wonder what that character on his back says...

[relyanCe]

pretty sure it's kanji for "destruction" or "death". Regardless, I'm gonna get it put on the back of a black shirt at the local T-shirt Diner, just for kicks (and cuz Akuma is the man).

[cobaltstarfire]

It means heaven.

[DjSammyG]

Rock Howard and King from CvS2.

Charlie from SFA.

Maxi from SC.

And a lot more.

Rock Howard is one of the most satisfying characters to get a hang of. The shift can really throw people off.

Also how can you not use maxi? He's like the button mash character!

[Drack]

Wrong.

It means heaven.

This is correct.

Also,

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.

In my experience, Slayer is one of the easiest players to be good with in GG (as of Accent Core), along with Potemkin, Axl, and May. Here at Georgia Tech we've got like 5 slayer players, one of whom just started playing GG a week ago and is already kicking ass. If you want a hard character to be good with in GG, look at Johnny or Bridget.

I primarily use Baiken and Robo-Ky.

[Soul Splint]

I would kill to be good with either Fulgore or Glacius in Killer Instinct. They are both bad-asses, but as my fingers seem to contract rheumatoid arthritis every time I attempt to use them, I am forced to stick with Cinder.

Star Wolf from SSB.

Ermac from Ultimate MK3.

Lei from Tekken series. Dude has an ass-load of moves, but it takes unbelievable skill to be able to use all of them effectively.

[Elex Synn]

Karin in SFA3.

Haha amen. gotta love trying to kick someones ass with a girl who jumps out of a chopper .

Though I have always loved Ayane from DoA series. I have a thing for really quick players even at the expense of little damage per hit... Now that I think about it I'm always using toons like this in every game I can think of o_o. Yuffie, Rikku, Selphie, Meru...

Back on topic, I could never get a good grasp on Leon from the Virtua Fighter series, so I settled on Tokyo from fighting Vipers (or the fighters megamix collection on Saturn).

[xRisingForce]

metaknight

[PriZm]

I would love to play Karin in SFA3 and Setsuka in SC4

I'm in the same boat. I'm a big fan of Ayane, Kasumi, Talim, Amy, and to a lesser extent Raphael, although strangely enough my mains are Hitomi and Cassandra on DOA4 and Soul Calibur IV respectively. Sakura's definitely my girl in Street Fighter when I'm not kicking it with Ryu or Guile. If I had to pick a character who I'm just not that effective with but that I like a lot, it'd be Guile. In games like SF I tend to rely on specials a lot and unless you've mastered the art of the turtle, I can't play Guile worth shit, so I'm still trying to adapt to his fighting which has proven to be pretty fun all the same.

...I think Street Fighter is the only series that I actually use dudes in...

Characters I want to try, but currently suck at? Zasalamel, Tira, Yun-seong, and Taki.

[Scufo]

Tira in SC4, just because she's so damn annoying. I also really like the bipolar mechanic that she has, even though it could have been implemented better.

[Hector]

Sophitia and Mitsurugi in SC & SC2. I initially chose Sophitia because I figured not as many people would pick her and I was impressed by her jumps. And Mitsurugi, he simply flows in combat. One of the best parts though, was that I had a friend who also mastered Mitsurugi and we would constantly duel with the two. Sometimes we would practically mirror each other, but at other times it was as though we were playing two entirely different characters.

[The Derrit]

King from tekken. I want to be able to do his grab shitsies so bad. but i can't.

[cobaltstarfire]

Any of the "space animals" in smash bros. Luigi, Link, Lucario, King Dedede, and Kirby

That's a lot of L's there...

Really, I'm ok with Link, but that's only because he's relatively similar to Yoshi as far as fitting into my play style...although not as much now as in the original game. (Interestingly enough Yoshi and Link both had the same person design their moveset in SSB64).

[WillRock]

Ivy from soul calibur 3. Never was able to play as her, but shes damn hard to beat
