You can also think of the question as "If you were a fighting game character, how would you be?"
Melee weapons, please.
Don't be shy. Go wild. Be exotic. =P

Me... I'd go with double daggers. One on each hand. Coupled with a lot of unarmed maneuvers. Acrobatic, fats, aesthetically pleasing and more importantly, unpredictable style.

How about you?

[spoiler]If you think the question is too strange, well, it is. But it's a personal curiosity of mine. ^^[/spoiler]

A sledgehammer with some Hand-to-Hand combat.

I'd use a bo staff.
And I'd... whack people with it! and stuff...
I have a pretty good range already with my long arms, I guess...

I wouldn't be a fighter at all, I would make it a point to make sure none of you fighters fall in the battlefield.

I find myself more at home with healing arts, and I hate seeing allies fall.

But, if I had to choose a fighting style, it would be an all around countering melee battle. The fighting style of my choice would have to be Tai Chi Quan, or if I had to choose a weapon, it would be the classic fighting staff.

Like I said, I would feel better replenishing everyone's health instead of fighting, but I could enter the fray just the same. :D

*TO ARMS!!!*

Oh, I'm more of a pacifist/coward, that's why I think I'd use a bo staff. (To keep as far away from the opponent as possible)
Ah, what the heck am I saying. I'm slow to anger, but when I get mad, I'm fearsome (Yeah, I keep telling that to myself to see if I'll believe it)

Wow, so far I see quite the balanced party. :lol

So anyone else like to heal, or maybe use some powerful offensive magics?

Probably a boxer fighter. I'd like to have at least one hakoden style move though.

I was never big on head to head combat.

But if I could do what ever I wanted. I would be able to fly. And I would have the power to melt peoples body's from the inside out into a glob of goo. :)

I'd use a sperm attack. No man wants to be hit by sperm.

I would use a combination of kick boxing and submission holds. Wearing down the opponent then pounding the hell out of them is usually a pretty sound strategy.

'ninjas ninjas ninjas ninja ninja ninja'

is a perfectly gramatically correct sentence? if, that is, one is prepared to accept 'ninja' as a verb. think about it. ^___^

Hee, this is neat. I think I would have to be a front line fighter even though my personality is a bit more passive. I'd want to do some caporia with a neat back up weapon like twin daggers or a double-sided sword/ax. ^_^ Neatness.

I would use human shields, playing possum until the perfect moment to strike is at hand.

Seriously though, as a combatant, I am the proverbial tank, just more compact in size. I prefer to use Tae Kwon Do, Grappling, and Aikido combination hand to hand fighting. Anything I put into my hand I would turn into a weapon/decoy. I prefer using a steel pipe as my main melee weapon, and a boot blade as secondary armament.

keke @ libra in red - i was looking for drop in dance places and found one that does beginner capoira classes... was thinking of maybe trying that since it looked so damn cool when gnasher posted about it before ^^;;;;;


my ultimate fighting style would totally be 'Twin Blades' ... like Sora from .hack//Sign (less than three, picture refs: http://www.animegalleries.net/album/6 ).. for fighting game gurus possibly a Talim from Soul Caliber 2 (picture refs: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talim ) though I also absolutely love Astaroth and Berserker =D yay for giant battleaxes

Drunken Monkey Gung Fu using whatever is in my environment that is least likely to seriously hurt my opponent.

Seriously. Start capoeira. ^^
Or at least try a class once to see if you like it, I'm sure the teacher won't mind. And if he minds, he's an ass, so you can forget about him. =P

I'm not a big fan of Asty, I prefer the faster characters... I'm practicing with Xianghua for SC3 now. You play(ed) Soul Calibur?


It's interesting to see how people seem to favor hand-to-hand styles over weapons.

@Regal - you watched Sailor Moon? Perhaps you identify with that guy that appeared all the time and did absolutely nothing except show up with a rose in his teeth?

hm. my personal favourite was probably Kilik. i liked Raphael and Mitsurugi a lot, too. Also Nightmare, but he was so broken i felt bad about using him.

nah, i've never watched Sailor Moon; i was basically being flippant. Besides, if i put a rose between my teeth i'd probably end up accidentally swallowing it.

...

To answer the question properly;

some kind of (reasonably long, thin, one handed, long-hilted, double-edged) sword and a (possibly edged) shield. armour on the outside of the sword arm, but not enough to weigh me down.

Sweeping style, more fast than powerful. Lots of fairly unpredictable stuff. movement and improvisation. Aggressive. ^_^

I did some taekwondo myself, a while back, but i can hardly pretend i know anything i could apply at all well nowadays, and it all was so regimented. *shrug* i just can't really fit it into an 'ideal fighting style' scenario. Also some fencing, but god knows i can't remember anything much of that, except the basics of posture and stance. Which were actually pretty painful, truth be told.

hehe, awesome :D

[spoiler]out of curiosity, since SC2 is being mentioned a lot around here, can i ask; could anyone actually USE Seung Mina? Like... she was just this horribly nerfed Kilik? The only way i could find to use her against anyone reasonably skilled was by like... running away and jabbing around a lot. O_o[/spoiler]

I play SC3 and never touched SC2... And so truth is spoken, my main character is also Kilik ^^ But I like Xianghua a lot, too. Raphael is also pretty cool, but I dunno.
