The versatile tough guy with crowd control and team support.

>>384605957
This. Most lack any and all depth to the fighting, you're usually just mashing one button or repeating a single attack like a divekick to kill everything.

Why did we get Abigal in SFV instead of Haggar?

You can tell who didn't play any of the more advanced beat 'em ups when they have these kinds of statements.

I tend to go for balanced or fast characters, but for me it comes down to whether they have a fun move set.

I really wish Dungeon Fighter was remade into a decent beat 'em up instead of going full korean MMO.

Either the cute girl or the big guy with all the cool grabs. Only exception is Ninja Warriors, where the fast dude is just way more fun than the cute girl and the big guy.

the white guy, if there are multiple white guys then usually the slower one

>>384607257
Fucking top tier taste.

I still can't beat SoRR, somebody kill me. I've made up the elevator out of the jungle at least.

Balanced I guess, I always picked Predator Hunter because I liked his moves.

>>384605813
The Kangaroo

>>384607708
>SoRR
I loved that game. I've only been able to clear the SoR1 route without continuing, though.

Speaking of which, I mained SoR1 Axel and Blaze.

>>384605813
Heavy except in final fight because Cody's the GOAT

I really feel like this went under the radar for how good it was.

Same. The movesets and flashy animations are really fun, but killing pitifully weak mobs while grinding equipment gets old really fast.

t. Only played the absolute most basic Konami and Capcom titles.

>Sengoku, Oriental Legends, Metamorphic Force, Denjin Makai, Dungeons & Dragons, Ninja Baseball Bat Man, Gaia Crusaders

Try playing some good beat 'em ups with actual combo systems.

As for the OP, I like speedy characters.

>>384609028
Final boss was bullshit rng shit, gave up after 4 hours

>>384611880
>he hasn't beat it on the hardest difficulty
Learn to position, it's far from impossible. If anything, the hardest part is pre-fight because it's easier to fuck up there.

I only ever played Mortal Kombat where I loved the Ninjas (Reptile and Scorpion etc.)

>>384612145
MK games aren't beat 'em ups, Bongfriend.

Well, Mythologies: Sub-Zero, Special Forces and Shaolin Monks are.

>>384612771
Early on fighting games were called beat 'em ups, he might be calling back to that era.

>>384612951
Mainly in Bongland, which is irrelevant.

The Warriors was probably the funniest beat-em-up I ever played.

>>384612145
>Shaolin Monks 2 never

>>384608219
You don't, because he's garbage. Which is why he made it into 3 and Max didn't.
And I played Adam in the first game too. Fucking sega

Play SoRR where everyone's playable and then some. Adam kicks ass there.

>>384605813
Usually the fast guy because I hate slow characters, but in FF specifically I will use Haggar because Haggar is awesome and his raw power is unmatched.

>>384614352
His basic combo is so fucking slow though. I find Blaze and Zan to be way easier even though Adam's my favorite. No magic/tech/silly bullshit, just boots to asses.

>>384605813
the fat tank

>>384609028
Why don't you post the name then?

>>384605813
Usually the speedy types because I can see Blaze's panties in Bare Knuckle 2

Mother Russia Bleeds.

Not that guy, but I don't like it, really. The fighting seems kind of shallow.

>>384617749
I've seen people bad-mouthing it here before. Thanks.

I appreciate the characters that focus on throws and shit. Haggar's spinning piledrivers are too satisfying
