Characters that should have become great, but didnt.

#1 July 08, 2014, 02:44:47 pm

does this look like the face of mercy?

Sometimes in games, there are characters that just so happen to not live up to their potential, by no fault of their design they fail to be used properly or at all and end up forgotten and misused.

Who do you think fits this criteria?

I put forward:

Rick Strowd: A Native american boxer with a too cool for school attitude that appeared once and once alone and was thus forgotten and eventually replaced with Vanessa.

all is love in fair and war

it was actually a working and quite enjoyable fighting game with destructible costume rather than pointless H-game they make nowadays

Not moe enough.

Iroha: busty feudal japanese maid who strips down in one of her specials, and fights with cool looking twin blades in a franchise where you can kill people. Too bad you can't do that in SamSho6 (and it wouldn't have mattered anyway because nobody wants sprites anymore).

But once the new Samurai Shodown arrives that won't be a problem anymore because It will be in 3D and dismemberment will return. I wouldn't bet on it being good but who cares there's killing, and boobs.

Also, Sean SF3 (thanks Ken and Ryu).

Sean is a really good one, they really sabotaged him.

I was thinking more along the lines of Bo Rai Cho. He's the mentor of Liu Kang and a few other characters in MK, and he ends up being a fat old drunk.

"Do you know what does it mean ?"

Wait, do you mean fighting game characters, or just in general? Because Q from SF3 and Captain Kit Cat from Rakuga Kids, Plok, Master Higgins (Does he count?) Earthworm Jim, Retsu, Gooey from Kirby's Dreamland 2-3, and SF1 Ryu.

Expect nothing, but remeber everything.+ I am tired. Future spot for Doraemon in MvC picture, the second I learn to create it. (Even further: Pepsiman for Mvc picture.) Insert random Doraemon anime .gif. (Also, Pac-Man Delta whaling on a MLP character .gif........) Now, Wipeout....... OTHER STUFF? Needs blue SSB 64 Mario in tornado .gif......... Add Super Mario Fighters 3 sprite here........ Also, now doing KFA stuff...

If I struggled to the end of my determination, to the end of my way of life with my followers, if the result is ruin, then this ruin is inevitable. Grieve. Shed tears. But you cannot regret.

I will destroy you.

Now why are Karman Cole, Sinclair, and Jin Fu-ha from Art of Fighting 3 stuck being in a single forgettable game. Especially Jin Fu-Ha. He sure has quite the fanbase for someone appearing in a single forgettable game.

Vans said, January 15, 2014, 10:25:02 pm

I'm also under the impression that people keep neglecting data from the game, do you guys know how PotS made his original characters? He actually studied every single game he referenced, down to the core. Doing this properly requires understanding how the original system was made, not just winging it.

sakura and mai shiranui.

both because the canon decided to not have them get over their men.

sakura was supossed to realize that fighting ca become a horrible obsession because of satsui no hadoy ryu, then go to collegem, become a phys-ed teacher , train highschool kids so they become as strong as alpha ryu, while she herself is even stronger, marry and have a kid, while reminiscing of wining fighting tournaments.

mai has been seen in other media doing ninja work while wearing ninja attire, she is part if not the leader of the fucking shiranui clan after all.

"Do you know what does it mean ?"

I think it was just a overview of his opinion of that game... Which helps state why he thought that character should've been popular.

They are pretty cute, I'd play it if it wasn't for that.
Yeah he was saying that the "rape" concept ruined the game and it's characters that was otherwise decently good.

メインキャラクター said, July 08, 2014, 06:35:59 pm

I'm guessing in general, although most mentions were going to be from fighters for obvious reasons.

Sony mascots: they became famous, then just fell off after a few years. Shame, one of my dream games is having Mario, Sonic, and Crash Bandicoot in one game (Smash WiiU, it was so close too). Unfortunately Crash and several others couldn't quite keep their staying power.

Fuck You.

edge yamada, daigo kazama, boman delgado, the kim bros, hokutomaru freeman, marco rodriguez, garou's story, haiji mibu, the whole fucking daraku tenshi cast, even harry ness and cool for obvious reasons to some, setsuna, lee rekka, ummm....usa sports team, seth (darkskin og 2d seth, not lightskin bullshit falcoon 3d seth)

anyone who debuted in xi plus malin, since somebody at snk got penis envy and decided to make brand new sprites for only a few characters from the ash saga, plus raiden (hwa jai is a swap plus some new edits), make most of them "throwbacks" instead of giving them looks that move the story forward (like giving ash saga terry back his ff look instead of his garou look for the sake of nostalgia or some bullshit), fuck up the deadline of their newest game at the time, (instead of sticking with the atomiswave and their classic sprites which they went back to anyway with the release of the ultimate/unlimited match games, and releasing an obvious goddamned beta which most of the general public and even some game websites still think is a complete game thus putting them back in a compromising financial state that only pachinko games the japanese love could pull them out of, and finishing the ash saga on said atomiswave and moving on to taito type x2 for the next saga)

fuck you for that shit whoever thought that was a good idea

i cant count the reasons i should stay

one by one they all just fade away...

Hsu Hao is THE definition of an awesome character design which should have become great and did not.

His concept arts which can be seen in mkda show that this guy had potential and instead they made him..well..that guy above there.

Yeah some of the MKD(A) guys could have been cool, like uh Kenshi I think his name was? He was cool and got some love recently.

Me though, just wish they had done something with Dean from Final Fight 3. Don't know anything about him but he seemed interesting, was he a former gang member? A smooth sax player? Someone important to a character's past? A former soldier who kicked some ass? A doomed Axel Stone wannabe?
Shame I'll never know.

Most likely the Axel thing though.

Sometimes you just need a little less gun.
