I loved the initial rage over Rocket that turned to immediate love

Rocket Raccoon was hilarious. I knew that was going to be the immediate turn around character. Phoenix Wright actually making the cut was also all kinds of "holy shit" to me. As a Megaman head, I really was hoping to see some X or Bass.EXE action but I wasn't too torn up about that either. Seeing the response from other fans though was woof.

This was also like a day or two after the triple whammy that was Legends 3 gettin stranded on the moon again, BBAMM in SFxT and Inafune leaving Capcom too. It was a really special time. :lol

Oh yeah, Gene was one of those big hype characters too. I forgot about how people got mad because Iron Fist got in without him as the Capcom compliment.

This was an actual argument.

Those were...very dark times...

The (U)MVC3 roster gave me such mixed feelings. There were many characters that I loved/learned to love, but the one character I wanted and that up until then everyone pretty much took him for granted was just...gone for no reason. Then the X alt happened and rubbed salt on the wound :|

Who?
Is that that weird sega game?

oh please... That character is like every pro wrestler put together, at least Ramon has a clear gimmick.

Keep telling yourself that!

The only good wrestler characters are Alex and I guess King

You're crazy. Wolf is like a love letter to every single top Japanese pro wrestling star, and a few American ones. His moves are also animated, for the most part, the way that they look in real life.

For me it was Metal KIng and Hugo and Alex. I used to be able to use marduk but that knowledge is long gone.

I wouldn't call Marduk a Pro Wrestling character really. He just has Jackhammer, Spear (which is more of a shoot/MMA style spear than a pro wrestling one), Leg Breaker, and Back Breaker.

EDIT: Oh, and El Fuerte has a pretty great Lucha Libre moveset. Also, Ramon from KOF is basically Tiger Mask. Moreso than King is.

EDIT 2: Meant to say El Blaze in my last edit, not El Fuerte.

I'm not interested in Tekken but I always thought King was a really cool character visually.

From the wrestling side I'm digging Skullgirls' Beowulf more though. Too bad I can't control him worth a damn.

Wolf is the best FG wrestler for being the perfect homage and having all of the moves exactly like it should be. El Blaze is the luchadore equivalent. high flying move set with agile looking throws for the most part and just all that energy in the moves.

King comes after those two to me.

Over a hundred smash customs unlocked. I still have a long ways to to go.

Turning off my Wii U for now though to let it rest. Plus I want to use my PS2 arcade stick.
Been in the mood for some Alpha 3 lately.

There is no better wrestling homage character than Wolf. His wall and low wall throws are godlike.

Jacky the best JKD/Bruce Lee homage too.

It wasn't completely free, but he was pretty much a one-man army; his teammate was just a punching bag by the end.

Defeated Sako, Xiao Hai, Poongko, and Infiltration to take home the bacon.

what's gotten into Dieminion lately? One day he's complaining about Guile's Ultra changed then next day he's going toe-to-toe with everyone.

Ideally the right side of the truck would have some anime shit on it, and then it gets crashed into and the left side says FUCK ANIME.

Second one, no clue.

Nah, you want the truck that's barreling into the truck that's front-and-center with the loli image to say "Fuck Anime".
