The last crossover game I was any good at was X-Men vs. Street Fighter.

I don't know how I forgot to mention MK. My friend and I ruled the MKII, MK3, and UMK3 machines. Yes, others had to do our bidding and ask us permission to play.

, i'm slightly favouring ISTJ at the moment.

Not "J". He's a wandering vagabond with no place to call home. He simply goes where life takes him. That's definitely a strong "P" trait.

Try watching the Street Fighter II Animated Movie if you haven't already done so.

Have loved fighting games ever since I first played TNMT on the NES - and that was an arcade-style brawler! From there it was Double Dragon and Battletoads, but then I got Street Fighter 2 on my SNES and the rest, as they say, is history.

Over time I've switched between Tekken, Soul Calibur, X vs. Y and Street Fighter. Never got into VF, as I'm told it takes months to learn a single character and I just don't have time for that especially when the community is so small and inaccessible. Currently playing SFIV:AE 2012 very casually at the local arcade.

I'm not sure i have. Maybe he is more P in that movie but the description in that link reads more ISTJ to me, E type 1w2 if i had to guess. His type depends which source were using i suppose.

 
Ryu is usually a silent, humble, serious individual whose severity is often juxtaposed against the light-hearted, fiery persona of his best friend, Ken. He travels the globe with a stern nature, often appearing to others as boring or detached. On rare occasion, Ryu shows a very bad sense of humor. Cool and calculating, patience is Ryu's biggest strength. Ryu's overarching goal in Street Fighter is to become a total master of his fighting style. To this end, Ryu plays the part of the wandering warrior, and takes both his travels and his training very seriously. Although he appears to be aloof and unemotional, Ryu is actually a kind and good-hearted person. He respects others with skills equal to his own and holds heroic figures like Captain America, Spider-Man and Cyclops in high regard, as seen in the Marvel vs. Capcom series. However, by the time of Street Fighter III, it seems that Ryu has developed a somewhat more friendly personality. He is still very quiet and reserved, but is willing to greet people with a smile and some kind advice, very much like his master Gouken.

Ken is probably ESxP.

Of course. That seems to be the Japanese view of Americans... at least in anime.

Woo Xmen vs SF! I like Charlie!

Tekken series I always use Eddy b/c I'm too lazy to learn the move set. Out of the 3D games, my favorite is the Dead Or Alive Series. I played a little Soulcalibur.

Though obviously there is a more or less of a schism between classic fighting games and smashbros melee, and I don't want this to become some battle between those who don't ssbm is a fighting etc etc etc


but yeah, played some somewhat competitive ssbm for a few years, but honestly could not devote the time required to actually become exceptional at it. Great game though, still love it, but don't even have a tv at my place right now.

Virtua Fighter and Tekken are too complicated for me. Arent there over 100 moves for every character? I don't think they're that intuitive either.

You won't necessarily need every single move in the move list. A lot of things are very situational. Over time you begin to categorize things (dash moves, launchers, interrupts, etc.) There's usually a logic to the input too, at least as far as VF is concerned. Virtua Fighter is one of, if not THE, most intuitive fighter I've played. Can't speak for Tekken as I never played it at a high level but it's still damn good fun ^_^

Mm, I'm very much a fighting game connoisseur. I've played just about every major series: Tekken, Virtua Fighter, Soul Calibur, Mortal Kombat, Darkstalkers, Guilty Gear, Street Fighter, Marvel vs. Capcom. And quite a few less well known titles.

Tekken, Soul Calibur, and Darkstalkers rank among my favorites, but I've enjoyed all those that I listed. I tend to get to a point where I can play with just about the entire roster of a given game, though I still have my favorites.

One old, often overlooked, game that really spoke to me, was Bushido Blade. Basically, it was armed combat, similar to Soul Calibur if less over the top, except that any blow could kill. Based on force and where the hit was you could be dropped in the opening blow if you weren't careful. Along with the ability to deal area specific damage to cripple your opponent, it was quite awesome for it's time.


EDIT: Ah, and I can't overlook the Super Smash Bros. series. Big fan of that as well.

Summer jam is currently happening on the team spooky stream. See OP for link. Marvel has been pretty exciting so far.







Also, RIP Bushido Blade :'(

Ryu has to be an INTJ.

Ryu's life-long goal of mastering his martial art and living soul is typical of INTJs' whole-hearted pursuits of their goals. He is stern and doesn't smile 95% of the time.

From the perspective of Jungian cognitive functions, Ryu utilizes Ni to a large extent.
The way he digs into his soul is akin to INTJs relying on their inner intuition. See his quotes:
-"The answer lies in the heat of battle."
-"Every moment is a chance for us to become more than who we are".
-"Your strength is equal to that of your will to win!"

Next, his fighting style and talking style reflect Te. His fighting is efficient and all-rounded, seeing how he has zoning fireballs, rising punch to deny air attacks, and uses judo throws. He speaks calmly, chooses words with care which reflect little Fe.

Ken is an ESTP- reckless, lives in the moment, and street-smart.
Guile is ESTJ- committed defender of his country and ideals, has charisma and leadership.

INTJs are more jack of all trades than an ISTJ. An ISTJ is more likely, so i've heard, to master one skill in particular. Experience sort of confirms as well, not that i know many INTJs IRL though.

Not sure how this signifies use of Ni.

He's always pretty respectful of his opponent, though i'm not sure that signifies an F function as such. My impression is that INTJs just want him to be their type because they think he's cool or something.

Te can throw fireballs? What is Ti special move, stretchy limbs?

I could probably go with these though.

Yea I may be wrong. Usually if I can't pick up the game in a few hours I get annoyed. But I have played 2D fighters more often than 3D fighters. Even among 2D fighters I get lost nowadays. I'm still not used to Marvel vs Capcom 3 control scheme and games like Samurai Showdown, King of Fighters and Guilty Gear confuse me a bit.

Pretty evenly split between 2D and 3D fighters. And as a general rule there is a sort of epiphany that occurs for me, that marks the moment when I just "get" the controls. I understand the patterns that dictate the individual styles of the characters, as well as the overarching similarities between all characters.
