Fighting Game Character Tournament: 3rd round

['Foretold' Joker]

Hey all and welcome back to the fighting game tournament.

It will run similar to the comic book character one I did around about 6 months ago. That's the one that ended with Dr. Doom seeing off Daredevil in the final for those who remember.

It will be strictly vs fighting games, both 2-d and 3-d.

Games that have made the cut include ... The Streetfighter Series, The Mortal Kombat Series (Up to number 4), Tekken Series, King of Fighters/Art of Fighting/Fatal Fury, Soul Calibur Series, Killer Instinct & Virtua Fighter Series. I will also include characters from other fighting games that may or may not be remembered.

Total amount of characters will be 256 once again.

The second round will be first to four votes.

I'll try and give some trivia and an image per character.

Vote on who you like the most, be it design, actual use etc ...

The draws will be random, so don't complain.

I'll be voting as well.

------------------------------
Last time Sophitia beat Kung Lao ... so next up in round 2 (it's a good one) ...

Cyrax - Mortal Kombat - Cyrax, Lin Kuei unit number LK-4D4, is a cybernetic ninja. He is the second of three cybernetic ninjas created by the Lin Kuei before it was disbanded. Like the Sektor unit, Cyrax was a Lin Kuei assassin who allowed his humanity to be stripped away from him out of loyalty to the Lin Kuei. Bombs and nets are the weapon of choice.

Defeated Angel (Tekken)

vs

Guy - Streetfighter 2 - He followed his friend Cody to fight Mad Gear in Final Fight. He then challenged the master Zeku for the Bushinryu title and won. He learned of Shadaloo and left to fight it. He came across Rose who was comatose for some reason (actually, Bison has taken control of her body by then) and saved her. Good friend of Haggar.

Defeated Terry Bogard

I never got the big deal about Cyrax (Probably because my interest in Mortal Kombat ended after 2) Thus super speedy Guy has my vote.

[acressl]

Cyrax. My favorite MK ninja guy. I like him enough to fell the almighty Guy.

[drclaw]

guy.

[Brandon Walsh is Insane.]

Guy. Hated the robots with PASSION

[J is Justice]

Guy

[Allison Reynolds]

I knew someone named Guy who I absolutely hated. So with that I vote Cyrax.

[Hassan bin Sober]

Guy gets my vote.

[DSR]

Guy times a thousand.

[Ace Diamond]

You're all just voting against Cyrax cause he's black![/Shetlon Benjamin]

I vote for Cyrax

[Hiroshi Hase]

Guy.

I used to think Cyrax was a robotic version of Scorpion when I first played MK3.

[gmanquik]

I think it's a bit late, but Cyrax. Cyrax had the coolest Friendship in MKIII.

[Cela]

Hmmmm, Liked both, but Cyrax for his blowing up Earth fatality

[shadowforce420]

Cyrax, I hated Guy.

[Drillbit Taylor]

Cyrax

[SsnakeBite, the No1 Frenchman]

Cyrax. Seriously, Guy is L.A.M.E. He' s just one more "martial artist with torn kimono" cliché character which I HATE in the SF series and in fighting games as a whole.

['Foretold' Joker]

Guy defeats Cyrax
-----------------------

Moving on ...

Heihachi - Tekken - The dangerous old master, In every game he is always one of the central characters and plays an important role in the plot. Although initially the main villain, his character would become a kind of morally-ambiguous antagonist as the series progressed. He is also no ordinary man and has survived incidents that really should have killed him.

Defeated Anarkis

vs

Kilik - Soul Calibur - The staff wielding fighter. He seeks to purify his staff (Kali-Yuga) and himself from the evil seed of soul edge. I sgood friends with Maxi and Xinaghua even if they have a difference of opinion about who has the right to destory soul edge.

Defeated Kunimitsu

Heihachi has my vote, the man is as hard as granite.

[SsnakeBite, the No1 Frenchman]

I like Kilik veyr much but Haihachi is plain badass, so he gets my vote. The only thing I don' t like about Heihachi is when he wears his sumo attire. What was Namco thinking with this ?

[Funkyjumbo]

Heihachi, even from the first Tekken he used a powerbomb

[J is Justice]

Kilik

[Doctor Tull-eus S. Venture]

Kilik
