My Go To Fighters
Bulkmailer | 3:29 PM on 08.24.2009 31 comments



Ragna the Bloodedge in BlazBlue

Those pants are a bit big for my own taste, but I guess he might be going to a rave so it's all good. With Ragna I have a pretty good variety at my fingertips. I usually do a dashing uppercut followed by a powerful grab move and some comboing. If you get close, Ragna can summon fucking jaws from the ground.




Diablo in Primal Rage

Diablo is one of the two Tyrannosaurus rex dino-beasts, and God of Evil. This flame-spewing demonic dinosaur wishes to reduce Urth into a nightmarish, magma-filled Hell where he wishes to indulge in his desire to torment the souls on the planet for eternity. He is nearly identical to Sauron's graphic model, albeit somewhat smaller and with a different color scheme. Diablo is quick on his feet and is an excellent distance fighter but is somewhat weak in close range. He is the leader of the Destructive Beasts, and hopes to burn the whole world in flames for all time.

I stole that paragraph from wikipedia. Fail.


Ken in Street Fighter series

Yeah, everybody uses this dude. It's just that his moves are so natural to use. Although when playing against other humans I sometimes button mash with E. Honda because I kind of suck.


Cyrax in Mortal Kombat series

He sports the Dtoid logo. End of story.

Who the fuck are your go to fighters?

I have a bunch of my favorite fighting games I'd love to add to this topic, but I'm short on time, and I'd rather just build on yours.



Blazblue - haven't ordered it yet. But Guilty Gear? My dude was Sol, who seems VERY similar to Ragna (main-ish character, red outfit, giant sword).



Primal Rage - The cover man himself - Blizzard.

<3 Monkeys


Street Fighter - Also Ken

(But before he was play out, I picked him in Elementary School on the SNES)! But for the sake of saying something different, Fei Long.


Mortal Kombat - Sektor, bitch!
He could ground teleport uppercut the shit out of Cyrax! Plus, missles>bombs. FACT


My favorite main man in anything: the man, the legend: Rock Howard.

Who the fuck are everyone elses go to fighters?
VWGTI's Destructoid Blog
lol, you mentioned Primal Rage. Awesome.

Go to guys are:

Ryu - Street Fighter
Saberwulf - Killer Instinct
Kyo - KoF
Cassandra - Soul Calibur
Law - Tekken
Magnalon's Destructoid Blog
@VWGTI
I'll add on, for funsies sake.

KI - Cinder
KOF - Terry
Soul Calibur - Siegfried
Tekken - Yoshimitsu
Shin Oni's Destructoid Blog
go to guys? (er...girls too?)

BB - Litchi and Ragna (hakumen comes close)
SFIV - Rose
KoF - K, Rock
SC - Hwang
AH - Lilica
Tekken - Lee

we can goo alll day with this but lets not
SuitcoatAvenger's Destructoid Blog
You get huge props for including Primal Rage.

God bless that game. It is terrible and beautiful at the same time. And has some pretty underappreciated music, to boot.

Also, farting apes.
TheCleaningGuy's Destructoid Blog
I'll play Magnalon's way
Guilty Gear:

Axl Low: Double ended Kusari-gama and explosives motherfucker!
BlazBlue:

Rachel Alucard:
There's just something about a well-timed, four-pronged Baden Baden Lily. Also, she has the coolest drive in the game.
Street Fighter:

Vega has a claw, jumps off of walls, backflips, screams like a psycho, and yodels. How could I not love him?
I don't play western fighters, so here's a couple extras.
KoF:

Sure, Benimaru looks like he's gay, but he's actually an ELECTRIC WOMANIZER. Also, his Engrish "I lave yoo" taunt after he takes someone down in KoF '98 is classic..
Virtua Fighter:

Sure, she's new, but monkey kung-fu is awesome. In earlier games, I'll use Lion.
MvC2:

Tron's always in my team. The drill, the Servbots, the fire, everything combines into an awesome character. (It doesn't hurt that I had a crush on her when I was 8 and playing MML for the first time, either.)
Tatsunoko vs Capcom:

KARAS
This guy is a badass. He's got counters galore, a grappling hook, can reflect hadoukens with his sword and is nearly unstoppable when I combine him with my next character:
Darkstalkers:

Laugh all you want about how her sprite has never changed (until Cross Edge), but Morrigan is a speedy little shoto. Her dashes are awesome, her combos are fun, and her wing-transforming animations are damned cool. Also, she can split into two for her special attacks and after Darkstalkers 3, her sister lives inside her.

SO, who the fuck are everyone else's go to fighters?

Shit man I was just thinking yesterday about doing a forum post about this :)

I was going to ask people who their fighters are but ask why they choose that person too, as in what draws them to that character; personality, playstyle, whatver.


Hell I might still post it and link this for the credit, that cool with you?

SF4: Chun-Li. For. The. Pokes

SFIIHDTR: Ken. I need not explain why

BlazBlue: Bang Shishigami. Furinkazan, that's why
