capcom has a half man half eel, a bear wrestler, an insane yoga stretcher, and a screaming guy with claws. What a better lineup, right?

okay, here is my analysis of some capcom characters:

ryu: boring, he barely does anything, like gamegen says, just a guy in a karate uniform, if i wanted to see that, i could go to karate class.

ken: clone

Sagat: very original for a muay thai fighter, but the guy doesn't look anything like a thai fighter, he looks like a friggin pirate

Zangief: russian wrestler, i guess he's pretty original.

Guile: very original

Charlie: once again, clone

Chunli: original but not very interesting, just a chinese tomboy with some traditional clothing

cody: original, but yawn.. boring still, looks like some criminal with a pretty face

rose: pretty original, but not interesting, looks like a british women in a dress/robe

Cammy:

Vega: looks like a copy of wolverine, the guy uses weapons, not really a fighter

guy: not really interesting, nice shoes though.

akuma: the only guy that's interesting, his hair is a little gay, but everything else is okay

dhalsim: this guy is very original, but his moves are gay. what kind of a yoga master stretches limbs? yoga doesn't do weird #### like that.

Ok, first of all, you're looking to gamegen. Look to some manga's, and cartoon episodes for the true personalities.

Ryu DOES have a personality. He's a man who wishes to become the strongest fighter in the whole world. He doesn't know very much about his parent's except that they left him. Unknowingly to him, he had a little brother. When they met, he expressed a lot of emotion towards the child. He has an overwhelming sadness that will never be overcome.

ken: He is a clone, but he still does have an original personality. Look at him. A rich karate guy, that has the attention span of a rat. The only times when his skills come to use, is during a fight, or for chasing women. (pervert...)

Sagat: Ever wonder why his attacks are called "Tiger-something"? It's because he based all of his attacks on the power of a tiger (which should also explain the eyepatch). After being defeated by Ryu in a fight long ago, he swore vengance upon the boy, and trained very hard in order to defeat him one day, or maybe even kill him. Because of his training, he was practically a social outcast, besides being in league with M. Bison and everyone else. As Adon is his student, though, you can tell he has a LOT of patience.

Zangief: I'll let Jaims take care of this one. :biggrin:

Charlie: Was placed in after some talks with the whole of the Capcom staff. Guile was to be removed, and replaced by someone who looked a bit more respectable, had some sense of humor, and wasn't totally bent on armies and their stuff.

Chun-li: You have to look at her past to know a lot about her. Her mother died a few years (?) after she was born. She was still a normal girl, however, and played and ran with the other children. But this only lasted until her father disappeared (probably dead, but capcom doesn't specify). It happened during a holiday, which was to be honored by the colors Blue and pink. All the other children marveled at the sight of all the costumes, the activities, festivities, etc. But only one girl wasn't enjoying anything. She walked around wearing grey clothing, which was the most unliucky color to wear at this time of year. People shunned her away from them, and later, she found some parentage under her Master, Gen. After being taught how to fight, and how to use her speed, she left and became a soldier. Afterwards, though, she became an interpol policewoman, and since her fathers disappearance, Chun-li hopes to find the man responsible for the disappearance (murder) of her father, M. Bison. After knowing this, you should see why she is bit of a tomboy. But she still shows off a very large feminine style and acting.

Cody: Now I notice you're basing everything on looks. Cody was supposedly a hero, until he was convicted for doing something very bad. He was thrown in jail, but unable to accept that life, he attempted to break out, which was, as you can see, successful. He has an over-confident personality, along with a large attitude.

Rose: Holder of the soul moves, and soul illusions, along with the ability to literaly be a fortune teller with her tarot cards, she can bend minds, and invade a lot of thoughts. Her abilities make her a very fearful person to face. She has a very mysterious personality, and hides a lot about herself. Little is known about the woman.

Cammy: What, couldn't think of anything to say about her?

vega: There's more to him then the claws. The claws, btw, are for scratching up people's faces who he thinks may be superior to his. That is why he wears a mask. He thinks he has the most beautiful face, and is considered a psycho-path.
He reall is one, though, and hates it when people even touch his face. He holds many deep problems within.

Guy: A bishounin ninja. His Technique is an ancient ninja style, that is used normally for assassinations. He disguises his identities and feelings to the world, in order to keep enemies off of him, and finding a weakness.

Akuma: He is interesting, but the hair is a trademark of him. It represents the burning desire to destroy all of life in order to be the strongest.

Dhalsim: Yoga is the art of streatching. People CAN streatch their limbs, and can be taught to do many things. You'd be surprised what training he had to go through to be able to streatch like that. He is simply amazing, and holds a calm and peaceful environment where ever he goes. The only time I don't like him is when he dances, and/or chants.

want to try again, Prince? :biggrin:

ok, lets just start off with this... no one cares about the personalities, it's a fighting game, not an RPG, if i wanna see personality, i'll play something else... ####, even sports games have more individual personalities now.

next... all companies have clone characters

i think SNK has more clones... but who cares?

two of my favorite characters are clones (ken, dong hwan)


back to the subject... it depends... if you're talking SNK fighting vs series capcom characters... SNK is no match. Alpha vs any SNK game, pretty even.

Personally, i think they should have made Street Fighter Alpha 2 Vs Garou: Mark of the Wolves. that would make an awesome game (with ALL characters in tact), heh.

heh, or Samurai Showdown Vs Vampire Savior.... :laugh:

SNK Is Beter,Cause They Have More Chars Than Street Fighter,Cause Street Fighter Makes Clones Like Charlie Was Cloned From Guile And That Other Wrestler Was Cloned From Zangeif,And So on And So forth.

SNK Is Much Beter Then Street Fighter.

i've studied every single 2D fighting game character to the bone, i don't need you to give me a history lesson on all of them, just argue against my point, we are talking about the game, not manga or cartoons(they're not official, as tarkanx would say):

ryu: he certainly does NOT have a brother. that SF movie was NOT official. he certainly doesn't have any personality. sure he maybe sad, but it's nothing out of the ordinary for a hero.

ken: some personality, but not original, just a rich spoiled boy who learns karate but doesn't have the talents to keep up with the main character(ryu)

sagat: Sagat's eyepatch came from a attack from ibuki's father(forgot name) and his eye was badly damaged. sagat later killed ibuki's father. he certainly doesn't look ANYTHING like a muay thai fighter(but his pupil, adon sure looks like one). if you just met him, you would never be able to tell he's a muay thai fighter if someone hadn't told you.

charlie: he does not look like a military personnel, he looks like a nerd with a pretty face. his looks doesn't say anything about his personality or his past.

chun li: her personality is really confusing. she's like half tomboy, half girlish. her moves aren't anything like chinese martial arts. just a chinese tomboy, i can find them everywhere at my school.

cody: sure he has a history, but does his looks tell you anything about it? his moves certainly makes him look like a criminal. picking up rocks throwing them at ppl, taking knives off the ground and doing cheap shots. capcom did not do a good job of showing his true personality.

Rose: mysterious women, well isn't that just original. so original that we don't even know her true personality.

Cammy: okay, i was gonna say something about her, but i guess i forgot to write it down. anyways, she is pretty original, but nothing more than a female version of guile. now, why would Bison's love be some chick in a military uniform? that is certainly BORING!

vega: a pretty face psycho path, well, that's original, i'll tell you that. the guy sucks as a fighter. he has to use claws to defeat his opponents and he can't fight good in a large area (he utilises the roof and walls very well).

guy: his looks doesn't say anything about how he is a ninja. his moves doesn't either. nothing about him reveals anything about his roots.

akuma: he's fairly cool,so not much to say.

dhalsim: this guy does not look like an indian guy. he looks like some cannible freak out of the amazon rainforest. the guy is bald(very unusual for indians) and he wears face paint(another indication that he's one of those south american indian type ppl). and he also wears that necklace of skulls on his neck(yoga is peaceful, wat are the skulls suppose to mean?). basically, that guy does not look human.

how would they not be a match?

oh yeah, and btw ppl, i'm also talking about who would win if they were in a fight, personality has different opinions to it. still, SNK characters can kick capcom's ass anyday.

I dont like it just like all street fighter games. It is just to slow for me. I need a fast paced game like marvel vs capcom 2, slow games bore me. I dont mind playing 3rd strike for fun though.
