ridiculous. Aside from stuff like the DBZ or MK games, where everyone is almost the same, you can never have too many playable characters. Each character offers a different and unique playing style, and therefore new opportunities and experiences.

Super Smash brothers Melee may have had the same control scheme for all of the characters moves, but they were far from all being the same to play as. In fact, the characters in that game (including the clones) were SO varied IMO, that it was always a fresh experience to play as a new character.

My current build of mugen has hundreds of characters. I may not play as all or even most of them, but it always offers a new experience Vs. the computer, and it gives many choices to friends during group play. I add new characters all the time.

I hate when my "old standbys" are taken out of the game.

not being able to use andy in 03 kind of sucked.

exactly. they get rid of the characters I LIKE, yet annoying fucks like Joe never seem to leave.

andy and robert even got shafted by joe in the capcom vs snk games!

Joe practices an ancient form of Muay Thai that doesnt really involve any sort of real punching or kicking, just wearing shorts and summoning projectiles, with the occasional knee to the air. Just like sagat, but with maybe a tenth of the style. Is Chang Koehan in the newer versions? I hate him with all my heart

you must be a pretty shitty Joe player then.


the entire korea team has always kind of sucked, except for kim, who was originally gonna be on a different team altogether anyways. I bet he feels shafted.

maximum impact II is NOT a KOF game. fuck that noise.

I don't get the point of RPGs that give you tons of characters. isn't it a much more rewarding experience to have a handful of characters and get attached to them as they develop with events in the game than to just have a bunch of nameless fucks at your disposal?

But yeah, not that I'm a great KoF player, but I suck with Joe. Team Korea has no excuse for keeping Chang and Choi. There is more than enough options for replacements, and another character would not be that hard to make.

I like how the taekwando team only has one (sometimes two) taekwando fighters out of a team of four.
