Your Top 5 Listings! Currently: Top 5 Characters you want in the next Smash Bros

[RoninatorMarx]

I thought I'd try and get this place running more. This is mostly gonna be us having fan convos, but then that's what this forum's for, no?

How this will go:

We list our top five of whatever is currently asked in this thread. I plan to change that every Monday (hopefully) so the conversation should be heavy. Once you cast your top 5, you can talk about other people's top 5, and if you like, think of what we could use for the next top 5 listings (but please don't take that part away from me too often. XD)

Current Listing: Top 5 Characters you want playable in the next Smash Bros. game

New listing's up. Now, we do "Top 5 people you wanna see in UMVC3". Also, please add reason where applicable.

1) Captain Commando: One of my fave characters in the series (though I'm not that good with him. lol).
2) Nero (DMC4): I like this character. I think as a fighter, he'll fit in well. My chances with him in it slims with Vergil in, but they did make MMX Zero see the MMZ universe on his ending, so I still have hope.
3) Moon Knight: Some B-listers need love too... I'm not sure. Marvel gave him his own series, why not put him here?
4) Anti-Venom: I'd say "Venom" but by that continuity's time, Eddie's no longer that character. I guess I just want to see him in the game for the sake of it.
5) Mai-Ling/Tao (Red Earth/Warzard): Mainly because unlike other protagonists from the same game, she has not appeared in other games as a playable character.

[azuyuki]

Not that they're going to be in it... and we already have Doctor Strange but...

5. Venom: We need a Spider-man villian, probably the best one
4. Doctor Octopus: It completes our trifecta of Doctors, that and again, Spider-man villian
3. B.B. Hood: She was my main in MvC2...
2. Squirrel Girl: It'll just be funny
1. Megaman X: I don't think I have to explain this one...

[Cael K.]

I think UMvC3 isn't ready as it has no (new) ladies. So, with the exception of one of my votes, here we go.

5. Megaman, any version from any Megaman series (save Megaman Zero, but that's technically not Megaman)
I'm personally fine without him in (as in, I can deal with it), but still... about the most convincing thing I've heard on this whole ordeal went something along the lines of, "It's not that Capcom owes it to us to put him in, it's that Capcom owes it to Megaman." That's probably my opinion as well, but it's their game...
I'm partial to Volnutt, he was a blast to play in Tatsunoko, but seriously, pick any version, and I'm a happy fan.

3. Akane Houdzuki, Gyakuten Saiban: Yomigaeru Gyakuten (tied for third)
Okay, sorry 'bout this one, but since Phoenix Wright is in the game, I just gotta shout out to my favorite character in the series thus far. Think her English name is Emma, and thankfully, she's got a decent chance of making it through an alternate DLC costume pack? I dunno, but throwing chemicals around makes more sense than... finger lasers. ^^;
I was so close to giving this spot to someone in Sengoku Basara, but my fandom is greater here.

3. Saki Omokane, Quiz Nanairo Dreams (tied for third)
Okay, left-field pick, I know, but she's cool and she's from an obscure game not many people have played, and to me, that puts her near the top of my list. She was also my main in the little I played Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom, not that I was any good at that game...

2. Sara, Breath of Fire
Breath of Fire represent! You gotta have a dragon transformation, but there's already someone named Ryu in the game... I was close to giving this spot to Fou-lu from Breath of Fire 4, but I have a thing for lesser known characters (and lesser known series), so I'm going with Ryu's sister from Breath of Fire 1, the only lady in the series to demonstrate the ability to turn into a dragon.

1. Akira Kazama, Justice High School series
I dunno about you, but I needs me some Justice High School, and she's seriously the best character in the series. She was also slated for a playable crossover appearance before that game got canned, so here's a good chance to pick it up. Powered, Pure Rider, or both with a DLC pack, you just can't go wrong.

Honorable Mentions: Keiji Maeda (Sengoku Basara), Jubilee (X-Men)

[RoninatorMarx]

2. Squirrel Girl: It'll just be funny

I can already imagine a Deadpool X Squirrel Girl segment already. If that happens, then we'd need one more fourth wall breaker to make a team. XD

5. Megaman, any version from any Megaman series (save Megaman Zero, but that's technically not Megaman)
I'm personally fine without him in (as in, I can deal with it), but still... about the most convincing thing I've heard on this whole ordeal went something along the lines of, "It's not that Capcom owes it to us to put him in, it's that Capcom owes it to Megaman." That's probably my opinion as well, but it's their game...
I'm partial to Volnutt, he was a blast to play in Tatsunoko, but seriously, pick any version, and I'm a happy fan.

Yeah, I have to agree here. I really think they should have a Megaman to represent (If so, I call Vent/Aile of ZX). This was called out on a fan video on how Megaman should've been in the game and calling out trish's reason for being in the game is her boobs. XD

Double post for new listing: Top 5 Fighting Game Characters! Don't forget reasons. ^^

5) Burai Yamamoto (Big Bang Beat): Normally, I'm not too impressed with boxers in fighting games, but Burai is different. I like the rushdown strategy I can do with him (Guess I'm that type of guy). Even after the limiter in BBBR, my view of him hasn't changed (Though Heita is closing in the list with regards to that game).

4) Kurumi Mirumati (Vanguard Princess): Okay, she probably made it to my top five for the wrong reasons, but.....but.....she's just soooo cute. DD: I.....I dunno. She scores high on my moe lists. It's probably character love that made me main her in game. I am a guy who shamefully has her haunting my imagination, though is willing to nearly abuse the Juliet assist (which is, the assist picking her up and throwing her to the opponent). DDX

3) Tizoc (Garou: MotW): Tizoc makes it on my Top five simply because of the impact he brings among the cast and in the game. Seriously, among a cast who either fires projectiles or do some high speed moves, Tizoc brings nothing but sheer strength. The only thing of a superpower he has is being able to jump who-knows-how-high while grabbing his opponent before sending him down in one of two fashions.

2) Heart (Arcana Heart): Mostly for the same reasons as Ryu. Despite the lack of my use of projectiles, Heart is one of the characters I won't get tired of using, as I seem to be good with her. Plus, anyone who doesn't agree that she's cute is either blind or soulless. D: <

1) Ryu (Street Fighter): I dunno exactly. I just like how he simply has everything I need: A projectile, an anti-air and a rushdown move. Any fighting game I try usually ends up with me choosing the Ryu of said game first.

5. Kazuya Mishima (Tekken) He is one of my all time favorite villains and a badass as well.

4. Mitsurugi (Soul Calibur) Nothing to say except he is one tough SOB and pretty cool as well.

3. Xianghua (Soul Calibur) I always liked her since playing Soul Calibur 2. She is cute and at the same time pretty strong.

2. Hakumen (Blazblue) He is pretty cool and kind of reminds me of some white knight type of warrior. I really like that long sword he carries.

1. Noel Vermillion (Blazblue) I just really like her. I love when she puts her hair down as well. Plus her story is pretty interesting as well.

Sorry, i'm not really that good at explaining things.

[SereneMidnight]

1. Noel Vermillion (BlazBlue) - She's just so moe, and she's easy to use.
2. Jin Kisaragi (BlazBlue) - My main in BB. Too bad he's too much of jackass to use often.
3. Heart Aino (Arcana Heart) - Again, my main in AH. Unfortunately, I don't have a PS3 to play AH with...
4. Talim (SoulCalibur) - My main in SC. Her style is the one I grew most accustomed to.
5. Eri Hasumi (Vanguard Princess) - Her style is very similar to Talim, so I quickly grew on her.

[BT2]

1. Sakihata Rimi (Phantom Breaker), ye I'm totally cheating. Bishii-san has a spot in my top 10 heroines list.
2. Makise Kurisu (Phantom Breaker), mingos and I'm still cheating, who cares these characters have better story because they aren't originally from a fighting game :|
3. Tohno Akiha (Melty Blood), flat, also ^
4. Hisui, (Melty Blood), maid. Still cheating, this week's choice of topic should've been more restrictive imo.
5. Yuri (Million Knights Vermillion), mingoth voicing gothloli bro-con. Actual game was meh though. Ohey an actual fighting game char.

Totally stretched this one out to a characters who also happen to appear in fighting games top list.

[Cael K.]

Okay, I totally can't rank many of my favorite characters against each other, so I'll just list a bunch of games I can kinda play and go with that.

Akira Kazama, Justice High School series - One of the first characters to really resonate with me in fighting games, and one of my favorite characters ever.

Tsubaki Yayoi, Blazblue: Continuum Shift - The angel feather motif ends up looking sleek instead of cliche like it normally does, and she's got the character and playstyle to match. Asami Imai has been said to be very talented at voicing tragic characters who can never find happiness. But that might be why we like them.

Rose, SF Alpha series - Stylish and elegant. Come to think of it, another character whose good endings don't turn out well for her. Charlie/Nash too, and he's my second favorite from this series...

And the cheats.

Vergil, Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 (originally from Devil May Cry 3) - Competing for the top spot in Cael's List of Favorite Villians Ever. Cold, calm, and cool, the man just screams style.

Touka, Aquapazza (originally from Utawarerumono) - Graceful on the battlefield and loyal to a fault, my favorite character from Utawarerumono. (... Okay, I can't kinda play this game, but eh.)
