Hate Speech: Character Selection

For me, it isn't about winning, stupid high amounts of time. I like to pick a character where I know I will enjoy having a tough fight and still surprise the pros once in a while.

I LIKE to have at least a 50/50 win ratio though even if I am playing a weaker character. I consider myself an above average gamer, but I work and do not have time to fully commit to games like some youngsters.

bah. I need to sleep :P
 
it's wierd cause fighting games are the only games that i will actually pick a male character. i usually pick based off of appearance and story but also playstyle. if i play the character and like the way it goes i'll stick with them.
 
Before SCIV i'd just play whoever had the coolest looking moveset, since I really didn't know what I was doing, but now I try out all of the cast untill I find someone who I feel comfortable using.

In SCIV's case Tira, because I found her fun to play. Later on I discovered a bunch of her flaws, and tried to switch to a stronger character (Lizardman), but I ended up doing worse with him, because I had no knowledge of his matchups.
So I went back to Tira.

I don't win much, but I enjoy playing her, and it feels damn good when I win.

I'll probably keep playing her in SCV.
 
Hmm...

Personally I pick characters who naturally work with me.

I went with Talim in SC2 because I liked that her system of chaining basic attacks over complicated inputs.
In Melee, I liked the aerials (with easy launchers) of Sheik and Falcon, plus their high power for "speed" characters.
In Brawl, I used Ike because he worked (very minorly) to counterct the game's horrid floatyness with his power (Also FE fan), though I quickly gave up on Brawl.
