[RJ 17]

Glad to see I'm not the only DoA player around.

Also: Doesn't "main" imply "your top pick" or "your best character"? As in...just ONE (MvC teams excluded)?

Oh well, everyone else is going with multiple so I might as well too.

SF (pick one): Ken

MK (anything past II, considering my choices): Reptile, Smoke, and Sektor

MvC3: Zero, Doom, and Amaterasu

DoA: Kasumi, Ayane, Jann Lee, and Bayman

Dark Stalkers: Morrigan and Jedah

Injustice: Green Arrow

Soul Calibur: Sophitia, Taki, and Mitsurugi

Clay Fighter: The Blob. Yeah, I'm one of those assholes.

 

[PointlessKnowledge]

I'm glad to see that people have actually played Skullgirls.

Persona 4: Naoto
MvC3: Deadpool, Dante, Hsien-Ko
SF4: Sakura
Smash Bros: Ike

 

[Danny Dowling]

Think I might a new main...

 

[Seishisha]

The list for me is pretty short as i've not played a huge amount of fighting games and i havent played any recent ones at all.

Street Fighter: Ryu and Chun-Li pretty equally some Guile aswell.

Bloody Roar: Long, Yugo and Bakuryu all pretty equal though probably in that order, i played Alice and Yuriko a fair amount aswell.

Soul Calibur: Seong Mi-Nah(not sure on spelling) Mitsurugi and Seigfried not many of the others.

Smash: Zelda/Sheik Captain Falcon and Falco(starfox)

Killer Instinct: Orchid, Sabewulf and Glacius.

Any game series not mentioned is because i do not own/did not play it.

 

[Paragon Fury]

Dead or Alive: Helena/Bayman

Smash Bros: Lucina/Zelda/Charizard

Street Fighter: Ibuki/Cammy/Juri

 

[Signa]

I don't play many fighters, but Ness has been my main since I realized it wasn't fucking useless in the N64 version of Smash. Man, I remember going through the work of unlocking him, and then wondering who the hell this kid was (Ness? Nintendo Entertainment System System? Was he some mascot for Nintendo that I had never heard of?), and why his up-B attack was worth a damn. It was months before I saw someone else maining as him that I realized that he was really badass.

Lucas is also a great character since he's a Ness clone. I also like Ike, because his (lack of) speed and power really encourages using his full moveset constantly.

 

[KingsGambit_v1legacy]

Street Fighter: Ken, Guile, Chun Li/Vega

But we're talking SF2. The best fighter there has ever been and will be. SF4 with it's bollocks "ultra moves" rewards the loser for getting beat up by letting them annihilate the better player.

Tekken: Eddy Gordo. Capoeira. 'Nuff said

There we go, hope you appreciate them!

Also! I noticed a few people listed more than one character as their main, that's impossible! I will quote a post I made a few weeks ago on the Xrd board of gamefaqs to further explain, as this is the exact same topic and I like my reply there.

You can only ever have one main, not more than that. Knowing how to play multiple chars is awesome though. It helps with yomi and matchup experience and it's most fun.


The entire concept of main though, it inherently means just a single char that you put the majority of your time with the game into. If you have no such char but spread your time among chars, it's not like you magically have multiple mains, that's impossible, you simply don't have a main lol.

 

[DanteRL]

One Must Fall 2097-Jaguar, and Thorn any pilots.

YEAH! Some love for ONF!!

SF: I'm pretty basic, so Ryu or Akuma. But if it is for fun, I like to play with all the characters (I don't KNOW all of them, but is fun to try)
MK: Scorpion and Liu Kang.
Killer Instinct: Really liked Riptor in the new one.
KoF: Iori, Ralph, Terry and/or Kim.
Garou: Freeman and Gato.
Guilty Gear: Ky and Chipp.
Smash Bros.: PacMan (His smash rules all)
Clay Fighters: Blue Suede Goo

Except that isn't true. First of all you have Tekken Tag which requires 2 characters, Marvel vs Capcom 3 which has 3 characters. By pure necessity you HAVE to know multiple characters. Fact.

Secondly, you have players like HelpMe and JDCR that can go to a tournament and play 5-6 different characters all at an equally top level. Yes JDCR has Heihachi/Armor King as his 'team' but he plays 6+ other characters in tournaments. HelpMe isn't scared to go in and use Mokujin. Fact.

I dont think its worth worrying about too much and I also think both sides are valid in a team you have your main team but say if in a team or a 1 v 1 fighter you have many characters you feel you are highly proficient in then you could say you dont have a main as you are equally comfortable with many if not all of them likewise you could say they are all your mains depends on how you look at it I guess ultimately its a pointless discussion especially in a thread such as this where we are not trying to establish a precedent.

When I did my list and I am sure when many did theirs they took main as characters they tend to play over the rest which in some cases could be more than one there is no exact science here no ones going to show up to your house if you decide to list all the SF world warriors as your mains in SF2 for instance.

Also it makes me smile people are listing Clayfighter so ill add a couple of old ones:-

Clayfighter: The Blob
Primal Rage: Blizzard
Weaponlord: Bane
Ehrgeiz: Tifa
