Raiden and Johnny Cage were also memorable. Raiden because he was preposterous and Cage because he punched people in the gob. You'll note that I do NOT say that Lui Kang was memorable. He was just an average Asian fellow. He would have fit in perfectly in Street Fighter. Forgettable.
So, uh, five then? I remember Sagat(scar), M.Bison(hitler), Vega(homosexual), Ryu(The original cliche), Ken(looked just like the original cliche), Dhalism(limbs, made you think yoga might be cool), Blanka(Green). Yeah, others really didn't hang on. I mean I can barely remember any of the people from Third Strike or the Alpha series.
But these characters were discussed in a court of law. You have old Joe Lieberman expounding on the evil of the "rip the spine out guy," who everyone knows. I mean, be honest... you can shout out in a room of people tangentially interested in video games something like "GET OVER HERE!!!" and they will know what you're talking about. I just posted a thread in response to a dipshit ESPN anchor letting loose with a "FINISH HIM!" Mortal Kombat, like it or not, has become part of the culture. A small part, don't get me wrong, but it's nevertheless there. The people who like SF2 better are seeing this happen going, "But... but... noooo, Street Fighter is SUPERIOR!" Yeah, well, sorry but your guy lost. LOST. Sega and Nintendo weren't going to court over Street Fighter.
Mortal Kombat can have its piece of 'culture' because SF2 is part of video game 'culture' and that's the only one I can give a shit about.
Aren't there games that have nothing but fighting schoolgirls?
In those games the girls are preteen.
I stand corrected. When I am wrong in this thread and its three sisters I will admit it.
Well, just the ones I know of which is mainly the Queen of Hearts series and one based on Card captor Sakura. Almost all school based games feature guys, like Rival Schools for example.
