Hate Speech: Character Selection

SC1- Yoshi-I was very young at the time and loved his overall "feel". He was a tricky player and that's all I did while playing against others.

SC2- Talim- She was extremely fast and easy to adapt to. I didn't care that she was a close ranged character. Her damage output was a little over the top, it was ok with me! I also had a little kid crush on her...

Yoshi- Same as SC1. His style just never seemed boring to me. i knew i could use tons of mix-ups and keep opponents on their toes.

Nightmare- I was becoming interested in him, didn't use him as much as Y & T.

SC3- I started to pickup Nightmare even more, but stuck to Talim and Yoshi.

Talim- Her moveset definitely changed for the better and worse. Her damage was decreased, but some of her new moves made up for it.

Yoshi- Not much of a revamp for him in 3, I was still satisfied with his moveset.

SC4- Talim- Her damage was decreased even more, and some of her wind charmer moves changed. I do favor the her WC (While Crouching, not Wind Charmer) 6BB K is better in 4 than 3, but I like her SC3 version a lot more.

Yoshi- He's classic.

Nightmare- I started using him, but I don't think his style fits me right.

S-M- She's too slow, but fun too me.
 
i main nm cuz my bro mains siggy and i like evil charecters and cuz my bro thinks nm used to be weak and slow now he has little chance to get a hit in
 
My main characters so far have been:

Soul calibur: Talim, Tira, Lynette, Sophie

Dead or Alive: Hitomi, Leifang, Kokoro

Virtua Fighter : Aoi

Tekken: Lili, Xiaoyu, Alissa

As you can see, I normally play female characters, Although, I did use Elliot in DoA 4 but not often enough to say I mained him. I just appreciated his not-so-buff design.

in SC5: I plan to start with these characters so far*:

Tira, Pyrrha, Viola, MAYBE Xiba, and Leixia

*just on the characters announced so far, subject to change as characters are revealed.
 
Well I tend to pick up characters depending on their appearance but I only stick to them if I feel comfortable while using them; well if their style/moveset suits me and helps me act better in a match...

Well I started from SC2 and my main (most of my SC2 period) was Cassandra, whose moveset like her personality was cool and of course because she was Greek. I used others too, like Talim and Xianghua but never really liked Sophitia, at least that time (Strange huh? However I use her a bit in 4) Well, I finally got over my fear of Nightmare and started playing him. Superb weapon - magnificent moves/style.

In 3 I found out he was Siegfried and was so happy that this ^^good looking^^ knight took back his moves. As you can imagine I still use him as my main from back then, however I've changed my secondaries a lot...

So I use Siegfried not only because he looks good but he has a good variety of moves and stances and I feel really free to do anything in a match. Well he has his drawbacks but I still use him :P And I think I'll always use him seriously as long as he still holds this huge sword and kicks ass the way he does now.

And of course I really want to participate in many tournaments and use him. I know I'll have my ass beaten thousands of times but I'll have the chance to gain experience and make my strategies better... I know you may think "Yeah say anything you want, all I see is that you're doing absolutely nothing about it and never participated in a tournament... blah blah" but this is one of my goals and even if I'm scared to meet new people or people from the Internet, I'd do this. That means that if I had the time and the money I'd be at NEC now (with some friends too XD).

EDIT: I forgot to mention that I take the character's personality into consideration as well. And yes, Siegfried has a strong one. What I like about Siegfried's personality is that he never gave up, even if he had to face someone much stronger than him. He'd deal with his mistakes and correct them no matter what. He'd even have an iron will that would help him regain his freedom.
If only more people were like that in real life.... (not escaping and facing Nightmare lol, but facing and correcting their own problems, mistakes, etc...)
That is what I want to do as well; never give up.
And I admit that, what I didn't like about Sieg was the fact that he got too "emo" in 4...
 
I just love mind games... Siegfried is the real deal in SC since times of Dreamcast... I find very pleasant to play with violent characters... yes, Siegf's 66B is the right move for people like me... I like characters that have easy moves but hard setups... that's why I pick Duddley in SF3S... I try a lot of characters in each game but I always choose features like Manliness and Heroic behavior, and more than that Honor in matches(But the merciful version of Siegfried in SC3/4 was too much)...

As I said before I didn't chose Siegfried; Siegfried chose me; this character really attract me with a supernatural force and I don't think I can't get right of his power on me... even after get boring with SC4 I just keep playing to use my favorite character in my favorite fighting game.

PD: more Manly+moreViolent+the old Big Badass Sword is back= SCV will be a very fun game to play.
