So, thought I'd make a thread about our favorite fighting game characters of all time.
For me, there's just no fighting game character duo better than Vanessa and Ramon from King Of Fighters. These guys, they're just too goddamn amazing.
Vanessa is very unique in her playstyle, with her long rushes/evades, short reach and mixup game. There's just something so elegant and wonderful in playing as her. When you're kicking someone's ass as Vanessa, you can feel the flow. She even has this awesome punch where she can reflect projectiles. It just looks so smooth when you pull it off.
Ramon, as well, is pretty amazing. I don't usually use grapplers, but the ways this guy can find to get into grapple range is pretty crazy. His combos are amazing to watch, plus I've never even been into luchador wrestling. (Same goes for boxing, really.)
I just wish I was any good at using them. I try to use more advanced techniques and mixups in KoF, but I usually default to just spamming stuff, which is pretty disappointing at the end of the day. It's a shame that the community is so small where I am. None of my friends even like KoF, and I've got a pretty big gaming circle.
If I was to recommend two KoF games, I'd recommend KoF 2002 UM, and KoF XI. Forget XII and XIII; they changed so much it doesn't even feel like KoF anymore. Plus they don't have Vanessa or Ramon and numerous other characters. (Btw, Iori - flames = bad, KoF XIII. Very bad.)
Also, as much as I love KoF, they have a really nasty habit of making a very balanced game and then sticking a cheap screen-filling mofo at the end of story mode. Damn SNK bosses break the flow every time.
