I wasn't 100% sure what I wanted Scarlet's intro to be. I feel this is a good introduction for her. :) Someone whose a little introspective.<br/><br/><br/><br/>Now anyway... G33k.<br/><br/>Merit's of Fighting Games.<br/>King of Fighters 98, ultimate Match<br/>Ranma 1/2 Hard Battle<br/>Guilty Gear<br/>Dead or Alive<br/>Capcom Vs SNK<br/>Marvel vs Capcom<br/>Vampire Saviours<br/>and then pretty much all the rest.<br/><br/>I have nothing against Capcom. I'm a HUGE Sakura fan and Hinata fans. But when I saw Capcom they only had Chun-Li. When I first picked up King of Fighters they had a huge cast of female characters. King and Shermie are my two favorites, followed by Yuri and then Athena, then Blue Mary and then Angel. It's not that Capcom was bad, considering they're pretty much the go to for 2d fighters, it was just... to me their characters weren't flashy/interesting enough. Once Cammy made the scene and then Sakura it was a different story but by that point I was already a die hard SNK gal. And I happen to love the Guilty Gear music... and Helena from DOA is my go to juggler. I will mess someone up fierce with Helena and Christy.  I love to cheap my way to victory with storm in Marvel Vs Capcom 2. And I'd like 3 more if it didn't feel like they took the controls back.<br/><br/>**shrugs** I don't know. Maybe it's because a good chunk of the supers were so hard to pull off with SNK characters that it felt like you really accomplished something. Hell whipping out a "Deadly Raze" from Geese or Rock just feels so satisfying when you were in the middle of a heated game. It's like the Akuma Hell Murder. Once you do it you gotta master it. My buddy and I used to have standing "Boss Battles" in Capcom Vs SNK. He'd pick team Shadowloo and I'd pick Team Stromhiem... and filler. Generally Geese and Rugal were all you need to get a job done but Bison and his clown move were just so annoying... and effective.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>My first taste of fighting games was on my Sega Genesis with Street Fighter 2. The only competition it had was with Mortal Kombat and honestly it did not appeal. I can get the lack of female characters, but honestly I think that Street Fighter had among the most interesting cast of fighters. Of course you had the pallet swaps of Ryu and Ken, but I actually preferred Ken to Ryu. He had more style and flare with pretty much the same moveset. Ryu is cool as a mascot, but Ken is my favorite male character followed closely by Cody and Guile. Then there was Chun-Li. Who was my first crush. Strongest women in the world and the 'First Lady of Fighting Games'. To me, even with fighting games today brimming with women, Chun-Li easily stands out among the masses. From her design and history ect. Then the rest of the roster is filled with a boxer, a sumo wrestler, a yoga master, a green jungle man, a russian wrestler and a monster Sagat. Thats just SFII. Then the Super Edition introduced a Bruce Lee clone, the cool as hell Dee Jay, T. Hawk(Don't care for) and of course the second most iconic and impressive women in SF the British Commando Cammy.<br/><br/>That seems like a rather diverse cast, but you are right. It is lacking in the ladies dept no matter how cool Chun-Li and Cammy are.<br/><br/>But Capcom later added some pretty great ladies to the list. Counting them down.<br/><br/>Sakura-Japanese Scool Girl<br/>Elena-Tribal African Princess(Favorite)<br/>R. Mika-Hyperactive Wrestler<br/>Juri Han-Evil Crazy Assassin Chick(Favorite)<br/>C. Viper-Red Haired Jane Bond(Favorite)<br/>Makoto-Karate Girl<br/><br/>And the character cast only gets better with Capcom crossovers!<br/><br/>While growing up I liked Capcom because it was what I knew. I feel like it has more than earned my continued support even after playing other great fighting games like MK, Killer Instinct, SNK ect ect<br/><br/>Street Fighter over the years for me has boasted a gallery of great characters. Balanced(most of the time) gameplay. And some really sweet animated movies like the animated Street Fighter II film. Capcom also has demonstrated their quality in 3d fighters. Remember Power Stone 1 and 2 for the Sega Dreamcast? Some of the most fun you will have playing a 3d fighter even today. Which sorely needs a third installment or reboot. (Get on it Capcom!)<br/><br/>I feel like I may have mentioned it before but it also deserves to be detailed. Capcom's great series of crossovers. What every fanboy anywhere wants, a good crossover. Because every one wants a shot at Capcom's throne. The list includes...<br/>X-Men vs Street Fighter<br/>Marvel vs Capcom<br/>SNK vs Capcom<br/>Street Fighter x Tekken<br/>Hell, even Tatsunoko the Japanese anime company took on Capcom.<br/><br/>Now all we need is the long awaited and coveted Mortal Kombat vs Street Fighter and it will be complete.<br/><br/><br/><br/>Now that my drooling fan defense of Capcom is over, they are not perfect. But I only have two real complaints. First I would love to see more 3d fighters from Capcom. Because I know they can do it. But more importantly....<br/><br/>All the damn alternate editions of the same damn game! It's really unnecessary and hurts sales to me. It's gotten out of control. Really I cannot even begin to tell you how frustrating it is when since Street Fighter 3, which itself had WAY too many editions. Back when I got Street Fighter 4 for the PS3 I was estatic, until a new edition with new levels, characters ect came out right on it's heels and I just felt stupid for not waiting. Just take your time, put what you want to into the game and release little extras in DLC or something. But three and four editions of the same game?<br/><br/>Come on guys. Anyways, that essentially boils down my defense/explanation of why I think even with it's occasional spasms Capcom is still the king of fighting games.<br/>
