Your favorite fighting characters?

Topic is self explanatory I think, so what characters are your favorites in this genre?

Some of mine are (though there are several others I like to play in each series):

Lei Wulong (Tekken)- A Hong Kong Policeman who's also a master in Five Animal and Drunken Kung Fu.

Bonus fact: He's based on my favorite action star who starred in films such as Police Story, Drunken Master II/Legend of Drunken Master, and Rumble in the Bronx. Though I didn't know that until later.

Ivy Valentine (Soul)- Sex symbolism aside, I actually love her story and personality, as well as her use of the Snake Sword.

Chun Li (Street Fighter)- Another character in law enforcement, but still one I like playing a lot. Very cheerful and cute looking, but has the fastest legs you'll ever see.

Ryu (Street Fighter)- A typical choice, but I don't honestly care. I still think he's an awesome fighter.

Kitana (Mortal Kombat)- I'm going to say it, I think she is the most badass princess ever (sorry Zelda and Peach, but it's true). Not to mention, she's still pretty young at 10,000 years (looks to be in her 20's).

Raiden (Mortal Kombat)- A wise, good sided thunder god who I thought was evil at first. Not to mention, he has my favorite superpower.

So who are your favorites?

Lili from Tekken is my top favorite fighting game character. Other favorites include Alisa and Julia from Tekken, Seung Mina and Viola from Soul Calibur and Kitana from Mortal Kombat.

GG: Slayer (All time favorite.)
KOF: Ryo, Vanessa. (I like a lot, but these two are my most favorite for KOF.)
SF: Makoto, Sakura.
BB: Valkenhayn.
MB: Shiki Ryougi, Red Arcueid.
Vampire: Lilith.
Last Blade: Setsuna, Hibiki.
AH: Lilica, Elsa.
FoTNs: Toki, Thouzer.
SBX: Kenshin, Hideyoshi.

Tekken: Kazuya

• Throughout my days playing fighters, Kazuya has been my favourite fighting character. I really like Blazblue though.. So maybe he's top spot could come to an end some time in the near future. He's been my main since Tekken 2 (in the installments that he's playable..) and after playing him so much, every other character just doesn't click as well. Steve and Hwoarang are runner ups though, as far as characters I like, though I don't like using Hwoarang much at all.

Blazblue: Hakumen

• I've unfortunately only played CT and spent a lot of that time with Ragna, though Blazblue is probably my favourite fighter in terms of the game universe/characters/story and I also love watching Blazblue matches more than any other. I've just finally got around to ordering BB:CSE because I've been holding off buying CS when I heard it was coming out. While I spent most of my time with Ragna, Hakumen seemed to be the character I'd like the most once I felt comfortable with the game. However, the whole Blazblue cast is amazing and with more experience I may main any of the other characters. There isn't one character in the game I don't like.

Street Fighter: Juri

• I'm not much of a SF fan mainly due to the generic sort of theme/music of it all. Though it is pretty much the fighter that made the fighting genre, so I guess it should get a pass for being generic. One character I did take a liking too is Juri. I don't play my copy of SSF4AE much, but when I do I pretty much exclusively play Juri now. When my copy of SFxT arrives I'm even half thinking of trying a Kazuya/Juri combo, though I'm not sure if they would make a good team. I think Oni looks cool too.

Mortal Kombat: Scorpion

• I'm not a MK fan at all. I've bough Deception, Shaolin Monks and MK9 over the years, all just to try them out once in awhile, but I just can't stand the MK universe. It's depressing I guess. Whenever I do play (which is barely ever), I use Scorpion. However, I have to admit the actual gameplay is fun and quite accessible.

King of Fighters: K'

• KOF13 looks amazing and is pretty much next on my to-buy list, but I have very little experience with the series. I've played a little bit of KOF2002 and K' was one of the characters I took a liking to, but I haven't played enough of it to really decide.

Soul Calbur: Kilik

• I've only played SC3 and SC4, and was pretty let down by SC4. I don't know anything about the story despite playing through the story mode in each a few times; I know its got something to do with everyone wanting some amazing weapon which I think is called Soul Calibur. Anyway, while I used to play custom characters with various styles, Kilik was probably my favourite stock character... I like characters that use longer weapons such as spears or halberds (or long, thin swords like Hakumen :P) so Kilik stood out for that reason.

[QUOTE="Victorious_Fize"]When it comes down to style, I'm a sucker for a pure kick in the face, and no style brings out the legs more than Taekwondo, Juri (Street Fighter) is meh in comparison to Hwoarang from Tekken. Other than that, I really, REALLY, dig Sakura from Street Fighter. Her cheerful charm, and oddly, also her long sweet kicks, just makes her a favourite. :P If anyone else deserves a mention based on his fighting style, it would be most definitely Carl Clover from Blazblue, damn that kid is classy.nintendoboy16

Just gonna steal this lol.

Tekken: Kazuya

• Throughout my days playing fighters, Kazuya has been my favourite fighting character. I really like Virtua Fighter though.. So maybe he's top spot could come to an end some time in the near future. He's been my main since TTT (in the installments that he's playable..) and after playing him so much, every other character just doesn't click as well. Feng Wei and Paul are runner ups though, as far as characters I like.

Fav ever since SFA1 , a very unique and awesome character both in story and gameplay :).

Kazuya and Jin as far as Tekken goes. Their style of fighting just does it for me. In the Mortal Kombat series, I'd have to say Johnny Cage. The Shadow Kick, Shadows Uppercut, and nut punch are the best damn special moves I have seen so far. And beside him, Sub - Zero. He has the best combos.

Well I figured I would just name my favorite from the fighting games I play.

Baiken

Hazama. Obviously.

I wrote the GameFAQs guide on him, I recorded a strategyand combo videos, and even thinking about making a general tutorial for him. All that, and yet I'm still learning new things to do with him. He has by far the most diverse, and most difficult, gameplay style I've ever seen in a fighter. Which, in turn, leads to the highest skill:reward ratio at the sacrifice of reliability in online play.

Beyond Hazama the only character's I've ever really liked have been from BlazBlue or Guilty Gear. The rare exceptions being Nightmare and Yoshimitsu in Soul Calibur IV. I detest practically the entire cast of Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter and every other generic fighter that's tried to copy their success.

I really can't stand fighting games that have the entire cast fighting with bare hands/feet, it's just so boring and restricted feeling.
