Why do you main the characters you main today?

BLANKA

I mained Blanka and I want tbh here because when I started playing SFIV Vanilla 5 years ago I couldn't do a single combo on PS3 pad. I have spent so much time in training room and for the first year of playing this game Ive never rly understood how to get the timing right for combos in this game. Ye, I know
I am a slow learner.
So I ended up looking for a character that didn't rly need combos to win which was Blanka. Kinda lame I know...
Blanka was in SFIV Vanilla actually a pretty strong character that many characters couldn't punish properly ( Blanka balls ) and ye if I take a look back I was playing hella lame and probably still these days according to many ppl who have played vs my Blanka.

GUILE

Later then I started to look for another character which was Guile.
The reason why I started playing this character was because of 1 player and that's GeoM MoDInside
who invented the rushdown playstyle ( which rly amazed me ) with Guile although Guile was a defensive character which is played the most effective when turtling / walking back and throwing sonic booms all day long and whenever the
opponent tries to jump in Guile can easily anti air them with his insane SB recovery and 8 AAs,
BUT GeoM MoD has proven the world that Guile can do even more and since then I started actually putting in a lot of time ( maybe way too much time during the last 3 years ) on SSF4AE till I was actually pretty solid with this character and ye Ive even learned combos since then. :P

DEATHSTROKE

Tbh DS and Batman were the only character I was actually interested in learning because Ive always been a huge fan of Batman and Ninja / Kung Fu movies ( DS is a Ninja right [?] who has a mixed fighting game style of Kung Fu and high tech weapons) ) when this game came out. But I had a hard time with BM to adapt vs other characters which were rly strong close range, so I ended up maining DS because he reminds me of a better version of Guile ( or at least when this game got released but later on NRS nerfed DS to mid tier or even worse right now? ) with his keep away game and whenever someone tries to jump in you can anti air them with SF. I just thought the whole move set of DS was one of the coolest in this game.
Today DS is one of my favorite character of all time in any fighting game and Ive even made an official
Deathstroke music vid about him. :P


MITSURUGI

Been playing Soul Calibur since 12 years ago when this game was released on Dreamcast. Ive always been a huge fan of Samurai Champloo and Afro Samurai and Mitsurugi was the only character in the whole SC roster which is a Samurai so I mained him even when he has alway been a pretty mid tier character ( ? )...
Ye, as ppl can see I base my decision on maining a character quite often on what kind of movies or animes I like.

CHIE
That's the same reason why I am learning Chie in P4A right now because Ive been a Bruce Lee fan since beginning ( lol almost all my vids got Bruce Lee thumbnails ). Maybe I will give Fei Long a try one day when I have more time once I graduated from university.
But Ive to say this game is hella difficult especially when you come from a FG like SSF4, IGAU or SC.
 
<

T3 was Jin (Practically Kazuya)
T4 was Jin
T5 was Devil Jin
T5dr Lili
T6 Lili
TTT2 Lili

As a kid I must have been SO shit with my previous mains but I remember being good back then with then now I can't play them for shite. I still know every single one of Yoshimitsus moves from T4 and I still can't play him for shit, fucking Tekken.
 
Uhh.. lemme think of them all

SCIV - Tira
SCV - Tira
SuperSmashBrosBrawl - Zelda & Peach
FF Disidia - Zidane
T3 - Xiayou
T4 - Jin (lol Tekken 4 Jin)
TTT2 - Xiayou & Miyharu

I'm probably forgetting a few, anyway. All these characters are similair by the fact that they are all poke characters that rely on wittling down health bars, ect ect.
 
SC V - Patroklos only because he was easy for to pick from having played Cassandra from a long time.
SC IV - Cassandra and Talim
Super Smash Bros. - Yoshi, Ness
SSB Melee - Young Link, Roy, Yoshi
SSBB - Ike, Wolf, Toon Link (Loved playing Toon Link simply because I had people make excuses for losing by saying "Toon Link is OP! You're lame!")
 
SC-Raphael because he's smexy awesome
Tekken-Lee because he's basically my Raphael in Tekken
BlazBlue-Jin because he's basically my Raphael in BlazBlue
SF-Ibuki because ninjas
MvC-Super Skrull because of his seductive voice
 
Soulcalibur: Ivy, Viola, and Amy.
Tekken: Lili and Alisa.
Dead or Alive: Marie Rose.
Super Smash Bros: Rosalina, Wii Fit Trainer, etc

Elegance and Flash, Style and substance. I like a mix of ranged moves with good close range pokes. The longer the combo, the better.
 
SCII: Raphael (Originally Ivy)
SCIII: Setsuka, Tira and Amy
SCIV: Amy and Sophitia
SCV: Viola and Pyrrha
DOA: Helena, Leifang, and (soon to be) Marie Rose
Tekken: Lili and Alisa
SSB series: Sheik, Peach and (soon to be) Rosalina
IGAU: Catwoman

Astaroth

Because I was pissed that they took away Kilik and wanted to beat the hell out of people in the most painful looking way possible. The big guy does not disappoint.
 
Soul Calibur series
Yoshimitsu. I like quirky tricksters with good mix-ups. Add the fact he's a bit looney, goofy, yet an awesome looking ninja(though he dresses like a samurai) and I'm there. I thank Sc2 for getting me to love this cool character.


Whatever Street Fighter game(Alphas, USSFIV, etc)
Sakura Kasugano for whatever Street Fighter game. While Ryu and Dan are fun, I ought to spend time getting her right. When I first saw her, I became attracted to main a genderbend of Ryu. Only thing was her personality was tomboyish. I particularly like hard working yet spunky tomboyish girls such as Asuka Kazama and Seong Mi-na. That aside, I'm interested in improving with her.


DOA5U
Kokoro, Momiji, and Zack. Zack for lulz, Momiji because I ought to try out this lovely lady, Kokoro because that's who I want to main: a lovely ba-ji maiko that can fight.

Tekken series
Yoshimitsu and Asuka Kazama. See Street Fighter and Soul Calibur opinions.


Everything else I didn't mention
I dabble around until I find mains that click with me. Then, all I need is some competition and I'm there.
 
Am I tripping balls or didn't I post in this thread before? Other peoples posts, I remember. That, & I remember posting in a thread like this before, but I don't have a post in here. DEX is extra confused... o.o

I must of been dreaming I guess, but anyways.

SC Main
Asta: Because I love huge weapons with massive power to crush my foes, with very long range to control the map.

Guardians of Middle Earth (GOME) Main
Great Goblin: Because he symbolates my play style of how I am exactly. He's a tank with the highest health & defense, & cannot be killed easily. He's strong enough to take on all 5 players if played very pro like with him. Something hardly any guardian is capable of doing.

DOA5
Helena: I figured I needed to move to someone else who wasn't as big & berserker like this time, so I thought why not give someone else a shot. Sometimes its not us who are the harder ones to play as, but it's the littler ones. So I looked at her the most & made my decision to go with her.

That's all I got pretty much; the rest are just characters that you have to make in order to play the game. I'm not sure if it'd be okay if I say which class I chose to main for the characters I make in other games. Lol
 
MK - Kitana, Sub Zero and later before stop playing that crap game -> Noob Saibot and Skarlet who have such a great move set and stylish combos *_* I still love the mk universe but i hate the gameplay ( unblockable resets, chip dmg for everything, bla... ) XD

IGAU - Bane from the beginning on but after 2 weeks i've dropped that game... reason? -> NRS ...at least the game looks really nice.

UMvC3 - Loved that game. My team was 1st - Deadpool / Nemesis , 2nd - Deadpool / Nemesis , 3rd - Trish
I was also playing Jill Valentine but i had so many problems with her "feral crouch" inputs that i had to dropp her :/
( i should get a new umvc3 version cos i really want to play it again atm :D )

Killer Instinct - Orchid and Spinal. Orchid just from the new KI on and Spinal was always my favorite character in KI since my childhood. So... yeah. ( but in generel i love every char from KI. Only Sadira can be patched out, lol )

DoA5 - Christy and Sarah Bryant. The game looks so nice and organic and i love all the fighting styles but i've dropped it cos i don't really like the whole counter system :/

VF 5:FS - Brad Burns ( cos i looove Muay Thai *_* ) , Sarah Bryant, Eileen and at last i tried to train Goh Hinogami cos i just love his rough attitude and gameplay. He looks just badass. *crossed fingers for VF6*

SCV - Hilde is my main number one. Love her and her gameplay. She's not too braindead so i'm really happy with her.
My other mains are ZWEI, Yoshimitsu and Nightmare. ZWEI is such an challenge and so funny to play. I just love him for being such a nice setup character.
Yoshi is ... well, he's simply Yoshi :D Love his tricky shit and i love JF's, so... :D
Nightmare is badass and simple to play. The opposite pole to all my other characters when i need a break.
Since few days i try to learn Maxi. I've just started to play him cos i always hated it to fight him. Now after playing him i really like him XD He's not as easy as i thought...
 
Street Fighter
Bison: I've played Bison since the days of SF2. I like his over-the-top supervillain design, his awesome moves (Psycho Crusher is what caught my attention to him), and his playstyle as it's balanced enough to where I can freely choose to go aggressive or passive.

Marvel vs. Capcom 3
Wesker/Taskmaster/Dormammu: 2 of my favorite villains from Marvel and Capcom, and one who I had never even heard of until his announcement but ended up liking him anyway due to his versatility.

Soul Calibur
Mitsurugi: Liked him ever since SC1. He's easy to get into and reminded me of Haohmaru from Samurai Shodown (imagine my surprise when I found out he actually got Haohmaru's costume in SC2).
Cervantes: He's a badass pirate design, dual wields, and has Bison's Psycho Crusher.

Tekken
Feng: I always wanted a Shaolin monk-esque character in Tekken, and I finally got one with Feng. I like how his moveset just has a lot of really good moves so I don't have to rely on landing a signature move, and the fact that he can be played similarly to Bison, as in calm one moment and aggressive the next. Formless like water.

BlazBlue
Bang: I used to main him back in the day, but with Azrael and Terumi on the way I'm going to drop Bang, especially now that they changed his English voice actor. I like how he's an homage to pretty much every classic anime there ever was.
Hakumen: He's a badass swordsman who looks like a combination between Sephiroth and Justice from Guilty Gear. His fighting style is also really cool and fits like a glove because I'm a Street Fighter player primarily and he relies a lot on pokes and good spacing.
Terumi: Hazama was too hard. Also, he corpse-beats the opponent after he wins and has the most brutal and flashy fighting style I've ever seen in a 2D fighter.

Mortal Kombat
Raiden: I enjoyed hearing his gibberish noises when he did the Torpedo move, and enjoyed Christopher Lambert's portrayal of him in the movie.
 
Competetively, I simply like to use characters with a fast long reach. Otherwise, I try to main whoever is the most fun to use.

Tekken
I usually mained characters that my friends used so that I can simply join in the fun. I've mained Jun, Law, Xiaoyu, and Lili at first, but now I'm starting to main Yoshimitsu & Kunimitsu since their moves are more fun and unusual.

Battle Arena Toshinden
I mained Fo and Ellis. Fo, because of his long reach and the cool mystic sphere move. Ellis, because she's cute and funny.

Smash Bros.
I started getting too picky, so I mained "random" since everyone has easy controls to learn anyway.

SoulCalibur
I main Natsu, Viola, & ZWEI just for fun.
