lol
anyways, here is the continuation of my favourite characters:
Company: SNK
Video Game: Samurai Shodown
Character: Charlotte
My Rating: 9
Reasons: well, i don't usually like western fighters in fighting games, but i'll make an exception on this one. her weapons(rapier) is probrably the first in a fighting game. the SS series needed some variety in fighters and charlotte brought it. her style is very diverse and plus, SHE'S A FEMALE KNIGHT! can't get any more original than that.
Company:SNK
Video Game: Samurai Shodown
Character: Hanzo
My Rating: 10
Reasons: well, since the SS series was so immersed in japanese culture, what's a japanese fighting game without a ninja. this guy is probrably the greatest ninja design in a fighting game. all of his moves, clothing and weapons reinforces his identity. i especially like his metal gauntlets(which no other ninja in a fighting game has, at least, not that i know of). now, contrary to what most ppl believe, galford is not a clone of hanzo. their moves are totally different (galford usually likes to attack from above and use his dog, while hanzo uses projectiles and close range ninjitsu more often), it's just their stance looks the same.
Company: SNK
Video Game: KOF+FF Series
Character: Kim Kap Hwan
My Rating: 9
Reasons: well, this dude is probrably the original tae kwon do fighter in any fighting game. even though i like his son, jae hoon, better he is still the original guy who started using the art of tae kwon do. his moves are the most unique ones since capcom invented the hadoken and shoryuken style.
Company: SNK
Video Game: FF+KOF Series
Character: Mai
My Rating: 9
Reasons: now, i know she's often viewed as a "sex object" but you have to give her credit for being original. i mean, her style of fighting is very original and her weapon(a fan) is pretty original too. plus, her personality really shows through.
Company: Sammy
Video Game: Guilty Gear Series
Character: Baiken
My Rating: 9.5
Reasons: she's a very unique character. rarely do you see a female fighter wear such a traditional kimono and uses a katana to fight. plus, her blind eye and metal arm replacement removes her sex image, still, i find her awfully attractive(she's pretty cute actually, with the pink hair).
oh and dan, i'd have to say that it does seem felicia appears to be a clone of cham cham (Tam Tam's little sister). even though both darkstalkers and SS2 came out in the same year, it still seems more likely that capcom copied snk. cause snk had a reason(a jungle girl for Tam Tam's sister) to make cham cham, but felicia is just this totally new character that came up. besides, cham cham does seem more original(she fights with a boomerrang and has a pet monkey) than felicia. felicia meanwhile, just looks like an older, more sexy version of cham cham which capcom made.
