No excessive menu bullshit, everything just transitioned well from select screen to battle and with the sound design it was just nice and smooth navigating the game.

As for the game balance and mechanics I wouldn't know if it's perfect but the gamefeel alone makes up for it.

Nobody cares about the characters in CoD. Mainly because they have you swap through multiple ones each game and kill people off like flies.

The only somewhat recognizable characters are Price, because he's recurring and Mason because of memes.

You idiots. Ryu doesn't represent fighting games because he is "the most popular character" or that he is particularly awesome. He represents all of the fundamentals of a fighting game. Every fighting game character has been designed around his concept.

He has an invincible reversal (Dragon Punch) and a projectile (Fireball). Every other character in every other fighting game is some kind of variation on this. From a gameplay perspective, Ryu is ACTUALLY representative of all fighting game characters. It's not Ryu specifically as a character, it's his style of play.

Alright. That crossed my mind but I assumed he meant characters.

As far as 3D fighting games go, I would love to see Ryu Hayabusa and that's about it. And that's just as much because of Ninja Gaiden as Dead or Alive.

As far as 2D fighters go, I'd love to see Scorpion or Sub-Zero. Though frankly I'd love to see more SF characters. I'm dying to see how Chun-Li, Cammy, or even Zangief would work with Smash's gameplay.

People will just say Tekken ripped off Virtua Fighter. The thing about Tekken is even if it takes ideas from other games, they do it better.

I mean all games build off each other so this complaint doesn't make sense anyway. Both VF and Tekken are very different games now so gg.

It's not so much that it's Ryu in particular. He just represents the generic karate dude you know is in every fighting game. Scorpion and Sub zero never ended up influencing other fighting games like Ryu and Ken did. (Terry and Kyo in KOF/Sol and Ky in Guilty Gear)
They're definitely classic fighting game characters though.

Also this.

Ryu gave us a bunch of karate gi-wearing martial artists with similar, "Walk the Earth to train," personalities.

He also gave us the Hadoken and Shoryuken, which on a gameplay level, are two of the most important fighting game moves ever made, with both being copied by pretty much every other 2D fighter.

At least his three green lights are pretty iconic in my opinion.
Back when I knew jackshit about SC and did not even care for stealth games, I could recognize those three lights and that they belonged to Sam Fisher.

MGS still fights to see whether Solid or Big Boss are more iconic, and normies still struggle to understand why Snake existed in the modern era and in the 60's.

Also, mgs wasn't a PlayStation exclusive outside of 4. The updated base versions of the mainline games were ported to other consoles, as well as having spinoffs like ghost babel and Acid.

why you compare those two ? literally makes no sense.

nintendo is japaneese company and brawl is japan game. %95 of character are from japan games.
only third party character before from japan game

director of mgs wanted hiim in brawl

splinter cell was never on nintendo that time.


also is smash suppose to show popularity?

then show me one western third party character on smash

mgs always exclusive to sony and marketed that way.

nobody played that broken ass port of MGS1 that came out years later on PC.

Twin snakes was terrible and inferior product.

nobody played MGS2 port on PC cames years later and cant even change controls

Mgs3 was exclusive until years later came out in hd collection

mgs 4 still.

peace walker was until years later.

USFIV is dead, bro. The playercount is so low it doesn't even get listed anymore. You could find some players on weekends if you're lucky, but other than that - dead.

SFV has a couple of hiccups, mostly related to online, but the actual matches are fine as fuck. Casuals are angry because of the lack of arcade mode. Also, some players just couldn't adapt.

Scorpion is about 10 times more iconic than Ryu or any other Street Fighter character. The same is true of most of the classic Mortal Kombat cast.

got a bunch of people who got animosity against black people cause their dicks are bigger than theirs. These are guys that are jealous cause they don't carry-they don't possess BBC. They don't possess that god gene that's involved in these black men out here.

Keep getting jelous. Keep getting jelous while your wives ask for cuckolds, while your girlfriends ask for cuckolds and wish that they could get fucked by these AFRICAN WARRIORS with these huge BBCs that could pipe them down to the point where they can feel each and every last spectacle of their pussies getting vibrated and thrusted till the orgasm just spews out.

keep saying NIGGER keep saying BLACK. Cmon, you cuckolds. You LOVE it. You LOVE this shit.

I'll be that monkey. I'll be that monkey, yup; with the B B C. Enjoy it. Have your woman take this dick. She's imagining a huge black cock, why do you think your bitches get huge dildos? Because you guys don't possess the BBC gene, that's why you're upset

no BCC = ANGER. You're upset, you're mad at these AFRICAN COCKS, these RHINO DICKS. That's why you guys like saying NIGGER so much, I get it.

Action - Probably still Dante. Cuhrayzee aren't that popular anyway.

Adventure - Link, even if I find him a boring piece of shit.

Fighting - Ryu, like OP posted. Not even a contest.

FPS - I really want Doomguy to be the face of shooters but it probably belongs to Master Chief.

Platformer - Crown goes to Mario, of course.

RPG - Probably Dragonborn, though I would vote for Cloud Strife instead.

RTS - Priest of Age of Empires may very well be the single most recognizable RTS unit ever.

Stealth - Sadly, the crown belongs to Solid Snake, even if Sam Fisher is pretty close.

Puzzle - L block.

Survival Horror - Probably Leon from RE4, even if it is so underdiserved.
>>
stealth - solid snake (fuck big boss)

platformer - mario (both 2d and 3d)

adventure - Link

FPS - doomguy

fighter - Ryu

metroidvanias - obvious

RPG - Cloud

action - Dante

sandbox - steve

monster collection - pikachu

Horror - this one is hard, but I would say James unless you count RE4 as horror then Leon

I'm aware it's a lot less technical, but I enjoyed it a lot for the weird blend of games it has as a result of almost being resident evil. I was genuinely spooked a bit playing it my first time as a kid.

Plus I really prefer the delayed attack combo style to the ninja gaiden style bayo uses.

I don't dislike bayo or anything it's still fantastic, but Dante is still the kind of action to me.
