Who is truly the best fighting game protagonist
>>

Liu Kang because hes not afraid to kill the other chumps
>>
>>12075049
Liu Kang is not the protagonist anymore. He and Raiden switched places.

Liu Kang is obviously the protagonist in the newer MK games
>>

Anyone of those, except the Tekken guys (and maybe Liu Kang).

>Fatal Fury->Mark of the Wolves shows passage of time
Mark of Wolves made his design even more badass with the bomber jacket
Terry's overall design from visuals to narrative is simply masterclass.
>>
>>12075057
Well actually Liu Kang was dubbed the most heroic because he was the only character without a true fatality, his finishers were non lethal

One of his finishers in the latest game is teleporting both himself and his opponent near a black hole and just holds the person there, slowly being pulled apart by the gravitational force of the black hole. Liu Kang's fine because he's an elder god now

That's not me I'm the OP

Terry is the only MC of a fighting game franchise that I consistently use, unless we have collectively decided that Morrigan has stolen Demitri's role as the star of Darkstalkers. There is also Asuka from Asuka 100% that i rather like since she is some chemistry class geek that uses chemical reactions to throw out hadokens. Bad Mr. Frosty in Clayfighter is also pretty cool.

It's that retarded thread by kevin smith again

This is the retro board though. We don't care about any of the gay new shit.

Who wins in a fight between them? Terry beat a Roman god in the anime but I don't know his feats in the game canon
>>
The apple guy in Samurai Showdown.
>>
>>12075535
>The girl trying to fit in with the FGC
Lmao
>>
>>12075557
He beat the anchient immortal spirits out of two little boys.
>>
Bad Mr. Frosty
>>
I can't think of any boring protagonist characters that I like in these games because they are all boring. Well except I guess I like Mario in Mario games, but who cares about that when it's Smash Bros., wherein he is boring.
>>
>>12075049
mitsurugi or siegfriend.
>>
Kazuya or Jin because they have the best movesets and are the most fun to play as out of these
>>
>>12075342
Look's so fucking lame, it's your average harem lead from the 00's

He's too cool for you
>>
>>12075049
Ryu is not a "protagonist". He's just a guy who likes to fight.
>>
>>12075049
Kazuya because doing electrics is fun and having a villain lead is cool. I like how all the Tekken leads are people that get consumed with anger and become villains, although I don't think Jin should have followed that path.

Haohmaru is cool because he kills his opponents.

And Terry is great because he's such a 90s guy with being annoying about it.
>>
For me, it's Kasumi

>>12075386
>his finishers were non lethal
Wut?
In MK1 his only finishing moves were that cartwheel uppercut and a stage fatality. His uppercut could arguably be called less lethal (as less lethal as an uppercut that sends you high enough to go off screen can be), but considering it's called a fatality in game, it's definitely a killing move. The stage fatality speaks for itself, and you could also do the cartwheel uppercut off the pit, confirming the lethality of that move.
In MK2 one of his finishers is turning into a dragon and eating half the opponent, and his special uppercut returns, retaining its fatality classification.
In MK3 he either incinerates the opponent or crushes them to death with an arcade cabinet. No arguments there.

>>12075990
Protagonist doesn't mean hero
>>
>>12076004
She's hot but I never played those games cause they seemed redundant after Tekken, perhaps wrong but how it seemed

Doryaa!

Terry is the coolest, Ryu is the most iconic, even though he's got a "less exciting" stoic and disciplined martial artist personality. Haohmaru gets an honorable mention.
>>
>>12078203
Terry is a dweeb
>>

Are you ok?
