Since there's about 10 different fighting games coming out within the next year, it only makes sense to make this thread. This is our place to discuss tiers, matches, tournaments we wanna host, streams and news. And now for some unrelated fighter GIFs...

Eileen is the most awesome female fighter ever. Drunken Monkey Kung-Fu all the way.

Okay, favorite fighting game character and explain why time folks.

For me that's Alex from Street Fighter 3, he personifies manliness to me. He's so feral yet composed at the same time. He's like a wild animal! Plus the animations for all of his moves just feel so devastating and he has so much speed. I could go on all day, what doesn't that man have?
Hyper Bomb for life.

In other news, I am looking forward to Skull Girls too much. I am counting the days.

For me it's probably Skullomania(Urien is probably a close second). The reason why I like this character so much is that even without playing the game that he's in. I still find his character to be awesome both in design and personality. His not give a fuck attitude allows him to just be a crazy son a bitch who drinks tea with his opponent as an attack. The fact that he's essentially a Super Sentai hero is an added bonus.

Aww, yea I feel bad for characters like Skullomania, isn't he only in the 3d Street Fighter games? Lost in time basically like cyberbots and to a lesser extent Rival Schools characters.

Pretty much. I feel like if he was in one of the 2d games like 3rd Strike. People would care about him more. Oh yeah. There something I've always wanted to ask you Clint. Are there any Australian Street Fighter characters by any chance? I've always wondered.

Probably Shuma-Gorath. While he didn't originate from a fighter, I think his appearances in MvC are pretty much the closest he's been to mainstream. His quirky design and wacky animations make him incredibly fun to watch in motion.

I'd say my favorite fighter is Makoto from Street Fighter. Her moves really bring on the pain and she's such a great offensive character. That, and I dig tomboys. She is hella kiwi and I like her alternate outfits in SF4.

Honestly, one of the most fortunate fighters in my eyes. The kid was trained by both Geese Howard (his Father) and adopted by his nemesis/rival (Terry Bogard). His personality isn't exactly manly, but he isn't a punk either. His move set is an obvious mix of both before mentioned characters, but does have a hint of originality to them.

Actually only Terry taught Rock, Geese neglected his son (and wife) and had little to do with them. Rock inherited a few techniques from his old man, but he has some of Terry's style having learned street fighting from him.

Favourite fighting game character, you say? (link to Top 10 Fighter Meme on deviantArt)

Being pretty much a fighting game ignoramus, I probably have no business in this thread ;)
I do encourage you to do the Favourite Fighter Meme, though /shameless, yet somewhat relevant self-promotion

I'll try this meme too, but I'll probably draw all the characters like in my 10 favorite characters OC.

Evo '12's line up was announced:


  • SSFIV AE 2012
  • UMvC3
  • Soulcalibur V
  • Mortal Kombat
  • KOF XIII
  • SFxT


Games like Skullgirls, BlazBlue, and Tekken 6 were passed over due to low (or in SG's case unpredictable) turnout.

I love you.
If no toms, I choose non with a speedster or weird character as my other.

I have no top fav to rule them all.

Persona 4 Arena and JoJo's HD came out this month, kind of funny considering the whole Stand/Persona thing.
