What Would Your Fighting Style Be?

[Golurk 468]

Y'know how in most fighting games, the characters tend to have very different attacks and playstyles that make them wholly different from eachother? Well, if you were in a fighting game, what would set you apart from the rest of the characters? What would your style be? (Note, assuming a BlazBlue type game where weapons are allowed)

 

As for me, mostly hand-to-hand with the heavier attacks involving my katana. No kicks would ever be used. My attacks would have fairly long range and be fairly damaging, and I'd be able to take an above average number of hits, but my hitbox would be rather large and I'd be definitely one of the game's slower characters. The kind of character that's not good for chasing, but can do a lot of damage quickly to an enemy that's nearby.

 

To help with this, I'd have 3 main projectiles, each of which being a "de-buff syringe." Basically, one lowers the enemy's attack power, another their defense capabilities, and the last their speed, for a limited time. To balance this out, the actual hit wouldn't do much damage.

 

As for "supers", I could see one being throwing a barrage of syringes in a 60 degree area in whichever direction is pointed at during the activation animation, containing all 3 types, named the "Overdose". Also another syringe type unique to the super that does a fair deal of damage and then does more damage to the opponent over time, the "Irukandji". And lastly, "Non-Newtonian", a counterattack that does massive damage if it connects. Named so because it's an opposite reaction, but not even close to being equal.

 

So, how would you guys duke it out with your forum pals? (not that I'm considering making an MLPforums fighting game with Feld0 as the protagonist...

In my case, I wouldn't be using much physical attacks at all.

I would probably use physics to my advantage for most of my attacks, i.e. summoning a stream of water that connects me with my foe, then sending electrical pulses through it.

One of my special attacks would involve me sending a piece of what I call "Solid Quasar" onto the battlefield. Judging by the name, you should know what it does. It would blind the foe with a very, VERY bright light, allowing me to preform attacks and combos that take more time to set up. Another kind of special attacks would be where I infatuate my foe, where in their view I am hugging and kissing them, whereas in reality I am slowly beating them down.

One of my heaviest attacks would be where I would use ram horns and charge straight at my foe, knocking them backwards.

Most of my lighter attacks would just be random bolts of electricity coming out of my horn(s)

 

My downsides would be that I would be very light and with low health stats. In contrast with that, I would be very swift, and I could use the element of surprise often.

 

One of the traits about my character would be that he would accept defeat, and when he wins, he would say that you challenged him. He would also like for his foes to suffer as little as possible.

Projectile spam all the way. I'd move quick, attack ruthlessly, and utilize copius use of fire or energy attacks and magic barriers.

 

The main drawback being that I really can't take a hit, like at all. So I take extra damage if a physical attack connects.

A completely random fighting style. A style that when you think i'll appear on one side, i'll be on the other. Definitely use a lot of explosives.

I would use punches and kicks in a combo and then use my winged sword then fire a blast of lightning from my horn, I'm mostly melee. But I do magic as well! So basically I'm a special combo pony, and in the sky, I do falling kicks and pounds, and been reduced to use magic for ranged. My special is to use a lightning storm about the size of the Crystal Empire Library.....

Typically magic-based. I'd be your far range mage characterish. I'd shoot some powerful projectiles, but if you get me close up, I'd be mostly weak. My weapon of choice would be claws on my hands, which I could use to do minimal close up damage. But I'd mainly focus on jumping out of the way, or jumping far back. Wouldn't be too fast either. Mediocre speed. Likely, I'd be a character who would be difficult to master. Unless you were an advanced player. Then I'd be greatly powerful. For nubz though? They'd likely call me weak and useless.

 

Hell, if I was in that game, I couldn't even play as me. (But then again, I suck at fighting games. So yeah.)

I'd be a mostly melee fighter, mixing martial arts (mainly Taekwondo) with street brawling stuff, and a few throws (as in, throwing stuff at the opponent, like that angry dog that always tries to eat my left index finger) and hitting people with stuff, like my Taekwondo belt.

 

I'd be hard to master (average strength, low resistance), but I do know some things about combos (the best way of defeating a 7th Dan black belt), flashy (and powerful) kicks, but my clinical underweightness may prove very bad (recieving high knockback), but it can help with jumping (lighter=more time in the air).

 

Anyway, the best move I could possibly do would involve breaking one of their bones (I know how to beak someone's wrist, neck and leg) and using any weapons they have (like Cody with his knife in SSIV.) anyway, I'd be a pretty average person. The only advantage would be that one of my attacks involve the haters in my form group, and the West Staines Massiv. As well as potassium (stolen from the school's science lab.)
