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?
lol, you mentioned Primal Rage. Awesome.
Go to guys are:
Ryu - Street Fighter
Saberwulf - Killer Instinct
Kyo - KoF
Cassandra - Soul Calibur
Law - Tekken
@VWGTI
I'll add on, for funsies sake.
KI - Cinder
KOF - Terry
Soul Calibur - Siegfried
Tekken - Yoshimitsu
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
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.
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?
KI: Glacier
Guilty Gear: Dizzy
Darkstalkers: Hsien-KO
SF: Dictator
That is all
Street Fighter - Dudley or Ryu
Garou - Terry Bogard or Butt
KoF12 - Ash Crimson/Robert Garcia/random
BlazBlue - Arakune
Guilty Gear - Slayer
MvC2 - Akuma/Tron Bonne/random
TvC - Batsu, Rock Volnutt/Karas
robo smoke is the one that blows up the world, bro.
@Rab
Damn damn damn!
Clay Fighter: Bad Mr. Frosty
Bushido Blade: Red Shadow
Fist of the North Start (GB): Kenshiro
War Gods: Anubis
Smash Bros 64" Kirby
@Cleaningguy
Axl is my second choice :D - I wish we could play some Guilty Gear.
@Mourning
Smash Brothers! Excellent game to bring up! I use Ness.
Um, the Dtoid logo is on Cyrax!
Holy shit!
@Magnalon: Are you coming to PAX? We could play a couple rounds in console free play, they had GGXX last year. :)
Also Last Blade 2: Kaede
Smash Bros: Kirby or Sheik
Power Stone 2: Accel
Dead or Alive: Ayane
Soul Calibur: Mitsurugi
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?
Sure Puppy Licks.
@Thecleaning
Nope! Don't remind me - /wrists
SF4: Honda or Boxer
SF2THDR: Honda and Guile
GG: Slayer or Ky Kiske
Garou: Butt and Hotaru
Those are the only ones I can think of right now for games that I still play almost maybe possibly regularly.
Awesome! oh also:

Seriously, so few people I want to play fighting games against are coming to PAX! :(
@CleaningGuy: Yeah I really should but I only has arcade sticks for mah ecksbawks :'(
Poor PS3 is collecting dust right now :(
Guilty Gear: Potemkin. What's that? I couldn't hear you over the sound of you losing 75% of your health.
Blazblue: Iron Tager. He's the first character I feel really got down the idea of tossing opponents around like rag dolls.
SF4: M.Bison. NOW FACE THE MIGHTY BISON.
SF3: Dudley. I've played as a lot of characters in SF3, but I always return to YOU HAVE NO DIGNITY
SFA: Cody. He's the only character I can time shit for.
Battle Fantasia: Deathbringer. Flaming armor FUCK YEAH.
TvC: Rockman and Yatterman, because it's motherfucking Rock Volnutt and Yatterman is just awesome.

Diablo is my boy too. I'm not a big Cyrax fan (except for his anamality), but u shud five the top tier for Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 a shot (kabal, human smoke, reptile..etc.).
