Guess the VG Character

Go To

This is a thread on guessing video game characters.

  • They can come from any video game.
  • If a media source is played in one round, it is allowed to be played in the next round.
The current descriptor must post a recap of the progress for every new page, and edit that post accordingly with the progress in the page.
  • A player may declare a stump after 24 hours has passed from the last question and its answer. If this happens, the current descriptor reveals their character and posts their image, and the next round goes to the stumped player.
  • If a question needs to be replaced because it has already been answered, please do not erase the question. Just add the new question below it. In fact, the act of completely erasing a question is frowned upon.
  • If you're adding a clue, please keep it related on video games, as detailed below.
  • Recaps must be posted on every page in a timely manner.
  • The info in those recaps must not be ignored. This rule and the one above it are added to prevent confusion.
  • If there is no new round within 48 hours, anyone except the previous host may start a new round.
  • What counts as playable characters?:

If there's any questions or further suggestions, let me know!

So nice, play him twice.

Round ➡️⬇️↘️: Ken Masters (Street Fighter I)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ken_alt_pic_8.png

Yep, a repeat round! When uncertanSearcher last played him, the hint had more to do with real-world trivia regarding his conception. Mine had more to do with his playerbase('s reputation).

Ken represents a lot of things to fighting games, of course, but he's also notorious for attracting new players due to his flashy Lightning Bruiser playstyle. One of the most common traps new players fall into is using Shoryuken on wakeup every time, which is a good reversal when you call it right but leaves you open if the opponent blocks the attempt.

Also, in numpad notation, the Z-input for Shoryuken is written as 623... so I figured Ken fit the round pretty well, even as someone that had been played before.

~Dorky Spaz is up next!
