I tend to lean towards Rekka characters like Yang or Poison
Cooper Howard
I always pick the robot or the zoner
Bonus points if they're the same character
Robert Bennett
I google the character's name + instant_loss and if I don't think I can get off to what I see, then I drop that character and move on
Carson Jones
Robot or strange playstyle that breaks the rules of the game, i.e. Hakumen

Josiah Flores
How big and strong they are
Leo Gray
Who looks cool. Regardless of their play style or the levels of investment required to play them, if their aesthetic appeals to me enough I stick with them and the appreciation for the character deepens as you improve with them.
Sit in training mode doing tk yozansen 1000 times on each side you can’t help but grow affectionate towards it at some point.
Asher Reed
I typically go options>mobility>design.

First off they have to be good, generally at least high tier. I never waste time with shitty characters in a fighting game.
>good normals
>a reversal
>space control
>maybe a grappler or a rekka character if they're good enough to warrant giving up what I generally prefer
I usually gravitate to shotos or something
Ethan James
I go through the roster until a moveset clicks.
Landon Wood
Their personality
Luke Fisher
How long does it take to even work out if a character clicks with you or not? I've never found a natural fit when it comes to move sets, it's always felt like I was forcing it.
Justin Russell
I think with my dick.

Depends on how long you've been playing fighting games. With enough experience you know what you like in a character and can choose one in a couple of minutes.
Sebastian Sullivan
The characters actual character
Playstyle
Then my dick
Ethan Evans
the samurais know about the juicy pawgs.
Grayson Gomez
How close to barefoot I can get a girl. Toe cleavage, arch thingies like Juri and naked soles all play factors.
Henry Brown
If i like them as a character. I can learn the rest. I honestly think Chun-li is one pf the best female character designs ever made.
Easton Lee
Luke Evans
this and based
Dylan Murphy
>Tira
god tier taste
Gabriel Jackson
How good they feel to play. In street fighter, I can pick up any Ryu or Shotoclone and play them decently enough. My best is Ken and Sakura though.
In other fighting games is just all about finding a character or two that clicks with me.
Luis Morgan
Good taste.
Carter Davis
Actual character, design, playstyle. In that order.
I usually go towards the munchkins, weirdos, or sometimes the energetic schoolgirls first. I can learn everything else on my own time, character and the design of the character are my priorities when I'm pickin'.
Alexander Wilson
The Western (Tanakh-infused) perspective
The degenerate perspective
The based perspective
Nathaniel Sanchez
chun li is chinese
Wyatt Bell
The fastest rushdown character or the character with the biggest tits. I thank ArcSys every day for making Naoto and Nine high tier characters.
Austin Hughes
>thighs so huge they overpower the ass
I dont know if I'm disgusted or turned on
Aaron Martinez
Jonathan Green
first i have to like the character on a surface level, like design or personality
then i have to simply enjoy their playstyle
third is my success rate with them, but this usually doesn't factor in much as i'd rather practice a character more than simply switch, unless they end up being bottom of the barrel tier or broken/unusable
William Moore
Villains.
Jackson Richardson
Either the weirdo/monster character or whoever has the best legs depending on their play style.
Isaiah Adams

Owen Hall

Xavier Torres
What a weird fucking guy.
Ayden Barnes
POWER TO THE PEOPLE OF EARTH
Robert Bennett
I literally pick which character makes my dick the hardest than try as hard as I can to git gud with that character, studying frame data, memorizing her optimal BnBS etc.
You can't argue against this. It's literally the toppest tier way of choosing a main.
Benjamin Torres
JUST PICK A TOP TIER
David Turner
wish my wife a happy birthday
Thomas Anderson
light it up
Robert Ross
Tomboys, usually
Nathaniel Bailey
If they use karate I like to use them because I'm a karatefag or if they're the joke/low tier character because I like getting good with bad characters. But I also like learning the basics of the whole roster because it feels stale using the same characters to much.
Easton Carter
Waste of slot.
Colton Stewart

Jaxson Russell
Alright Yea Forums lets see em
Landon Perez
what game is this I have to know
Colton Bell
I almost exclusively pick BIG STRONK characters. i just have a low IQ so combos are not for me.
Dominic Jones
Grapplers are nice
Nathaniel Green
>implying anyone here has played all of those games
Benjamin Wood
Why did Capcom give him a move that exclusively counters mid kicks?
Angel Parker
I like to go with mutes but they are really rare so if no mutes I just go with whichever is coolest.
Dragunov is both so I'm very happy
Samuel Fisher
I'll just try them all and stick with whoever I end up liking most. Usually I lean towards characters who have good mobility, but they don't have to have the best mobility in the game. It's nice when they have a command grab too.
Eli Roberts
I can't fucking decide who should be my third in kof 98, I like Kyo and Mai but the third is harder, I like benimaru but I am shit at pulling off his neck grab super.
Jonathan Ortiz
They're fucking retarded, and while i can understand that the green hand would be too strong in V, it still baffles me that they bothered to give him a shitty move like that.
I would've prefered if he didn't use that command to begin with
Kevin Gonzalez
Do they have a stomp move ?
Aiden Edwards
I like monkeeys.
Owen Wood
Stomp move rule
William Brooks
SPEED
Julian Russell
Chun Li
Parker Hughes
Boxer or wrestler or main character.
Evan Myers
Just fill out the ones you have played, dummy.
Gavin Sullivan
Usually if they have a move I think is cool.
>KOF
Kim's dive kick/Phoenix Rush Kick made me main him.
>Mortal Kombat
Jax's air backbreaker and GOTCHA made me main him
>Street Fighter
Fei Long's Rekkas/being Bruce Lee made me main him
Bentley Brooks
if they have projectiles i can spam and are weird nonhuman characters
Carter Gutierrez
Whoever is fastest, or a ninja. Bonus points for being both.
Easton Turner
I wish they didnt get rid of his English VA from the first few games. The new VA sounds like garbage
Chase Wood
based Tony Oliver.
Christian Hill
I love catching people with his counter holds.
Lincoln Young
If a character uses the Iai stance they're my new main. Bonus points if its a cute girl.
Nathan Wright
tekken
Jacob Jackson
Some fo these I don't play that extensively so I'm not that committed to having a main, but I still included someone for the ones where I feel at least a bit more confident with a specific character than others. For games like SF, even though I've played a few of them, I just didn't include anyone though because I've barely played any enough to say that I have a main.
Hunter King
Tekken 7 is a predictable follow-up to a series that's never aimed particularly high, it may please casual gamers for a day or two but the stagnant ongoing series is definitely in the second tier of fighters way below Capcom or NetherRealm Studios games, and it's seriously getting old and tired. The lack of depth and subtlety and the emphasis on the offensive, rather than the defensive, puts this squarely two notches below the best in the genre, the "who-can-get-their-super-move-off-first" gameplay leaves much to be desired from a serious fighting game player. Like the prequels, Tekken 7 is geared towards casual gamers and anyone who's been exposed to more technical, more dynamic fighting games will quickly pass on tekken. Other top fighters, namely Street Fighter, DoA and MK games have advanced impressively in their latest installments; but the relic that is tekken just can't seem to evolve, furthermore many combos can be done simply by hitting 1-button, and the nearly "instant-kill" rage art moves are just laughably broken. Instead of a supplying a proper fighting engine, matches in T7 seem to rely heavily on "who can get their rage move off first". So many elements of the gameplay don't even require any sort of skill. In my book, slow motion over and over again also gets old very quickly. And in the end, it's more of a novelty or gimmick rather than an actual, thought-out fighting game mechanic. But hey, the casual crowd will be pleased!
If you want something a little more "button-masher-friendly," tekken might be your cup of tea.... Key word, might.

Thomas Adams
mist finer is hardly iai
i guess yuzu counts
Joshua Jenkins
Dylan Ortiz
I'm pretty sure the game itself lists his fighting style as iai, and I don't see why not. It fits the bill of being based around drawing the sword after all.
Anthony Cruz
i've played roughly 80-85% of those games. too lazy to fill that fucking chart out though

Charles Russell
Style for guys, sexiness for chicks.
After some time has passed, if they end up being a character I like, I stick with them. If they're low tier, I might pick out a more neutral secondary, just to give myself a better chance in a serious match.
Robert Reed
It depends on the balance, if the game is fairly balanced then I'll pick someone cool and fun to play, but if it's something like Melee, I'll find a high tier I like.
Henry Brown
Jace Garcia
>do they look cool
>do they do a martial art that I think is particularly cool
>do they have big boy buttons with great range and preferably some other utility like being low invincible
I don't ask for much
Noah Brown
>are they fast, iai based, lot of tech throws, angry as fuck, have shadow or darkness powers, are HFY, have parries to humiliate, do they wield a stupid big weapon and in they're in a non weapon focused game do they fight with their fists
Any of these and I have my main
Aaron Walker
patrician taste
As for me, it's a checklist
1st, they gotta look cool, if there's no cool guys to self-insert, then it's to the chick I like the most.
2nd, playstyle, they gotta feel good to play
3rd, this usually comes later, but they gotta be at least viable. I'm not a tier whore, but I'm also nobody's low tier champ. However, I my opinion of viability is based on a mix of both pro-opinion and my own, with my own intuition usually the deciding factor.
All my mains attached, but only for games I tried to learn seriously or played casually. Still wanna get umvc2, I remember playing that as a kid when I all I knew to do was mash buttons lol.
Def wanna learn Cable, Hayato, Amingo, and Ruby Heart
Isaac White
WHAT
Kayden Gray
when they nerfed gief at the start of arcade edition and made him shitty to play.
Only character that I felt at the time, could play a real neutral game and forced others to as well, then they got rid of all his good shit and turned him into an SFV character.
Isaac Rivera
If they do judo, I pick 'em

I thought I found a bro but I guess not.
Jason Ross
I gave up on fighting games when I realized that its impossible for me to get better beyond a minuscule margin.
Gabriel Cox
And I'd say he knows a little more about fighting than you do, pal, because he INVENTED IT.
Connor Robinson
My first main was Guile. I liked that he was prediction heavy and that he could control the pace of a match when given adequate spacing. Plus he's a 1980s Ideal American stereotype which is cool.
My second main was Makoto. I liked her very technical playstyle and high-stun combos. I liked that she had a large toolset of situation specific attacks. Her risky combo starters meant she was very prediction heavy too, although it was greater risk and reward than Guile.
Then I learned SF5's Ibuki which also had a wide and varied toolset. I liked her mobility and her timed bomb attack which added extra pressure and acted as "insurance" to her offense. She could zone well but also had very powerful point-blank options. Her weakness was that she was extra reliant on her meter and limited resource management.
In Tekken I used Lars because I liked that he was a turbo-weeb with physics defying flips.
In Kof my team was Shingo, the young chinese meat bun eating guy, and Shermie.
The only consistent theme is that I like physically fit characters with at least one very risky option. Also I think all of them have at least one command or aerial throw.
Dominic Ortiz
hey I could be a bro I just need to be informed
Thomas Hughes
Goh Hinogami
Ryder Wood
I gravitate toward tall-looking characters, whether they be pretty boys who aren't too short or gentle giants. If nobody really appeals to me, my last resort is the blonde chick with big tits.
The only little girl character I use frequently is Cham Cham in Samurai Shodown II as a secondary. Cats are cute and Tam Tam is cool.
Carson Rodriguez
He looks like he gets fucked by men.
