In the most common arcade games, we usually see a serious imbalance in the main characters. Not only in level-playing games, but also in many fighting games and even airplane games, character imbalance can be seen everywhere.

In the most common arcade games, we usually see a serious imbalance in the main characters. For example, Dinosaur Kombat and General. Not only in level-playing games, but also in many fighting games and even airplane games, character imbalance can be seen everywhere. There are usually one or two popular characters, then a few middling characters, and finally a few unpopular characters that are almost unpopular.

The following article will focus on the imbalance in the characters.

. Street Fighter 2

Although there were some fighting games before Street Fighter, the perfection of these game systems could not be compared with Street Fighter. Street Fighter created a glorious era of fighting games. The second generation of "Four Heavenly Kings" is undoubtedly one of the classics. Among the 12 characters in The Four Heavenly Kings, I always feel that some of them are very strong and some are very weak. I think Long, Ken, Gulie, and Vega are the strongest among them, while boxing champion Tyson and Indian Dalsi are undoubtedly the weakest. Needless to say, Takashi and Ken are the eternal protagonists, Shoryuken is invincible. Gulie's various skills are relatively comprehensive, and General Vega's attack power is also very terrifying. Tyson and Darcy are rarely used because of their slow movements and too many defensive weaknesses. But there are also some masters who play these two characters to perfection.

.King of Fighters97

In 2D fighting games, the one that can compete with Street Fighter is undoubtedly SNK's King of Fighters series. In the late 1990s, the popularity of the King of Fighters series could be said to have surpassed that of Street Fighter. Its most classic three generations, 1997, 1998 and 1999, have the most fans. 97 is undoubtedly the pinnacle of the entire King of Fighters series. In King of Fighters 97, I personally think Iori, Kyo Kusanagi, Daemon, Benimaru, Kagura Chizuru, and Yamazaki Ryuji are very strong. These characters have strong attack power. The weaker ones are Zhenyuansai and . Use . Of course I am not a King of Fighters expert, this is just my own opinion

. Dinosaur Kombat

This game is undoubtedly the most popular among Yellow Hat. Although Fatty's attack power is higher than that of Yellow Hat, Yellow Hat has advantages that the other three characters cannot compare with. The AB whirlwind kick lasts longer, and the upside-down golden hook is obviously more practical than Fatty and White's plus A. Yellow Hat's running kick is the most effective move against the Illusive Man, and it can even attack enemies outside the board. The other 3 Characters cannot do this. Yellow Hat can also jump forward to launch a rocket kick. The other three characters can only jump out of rocket legs on the spot.

As for the other three characters, Fatty is easier to use, has strong attack power, and his throwing moves can be applied to many BOSSs. Baiyi is an unpopular character, and his running and sliding legs can attack BOSSs that fall to the ground and get up. The beauty has the fastest movements, but it is very difficult to deal with the phantom man.

. Among the four famous generals

, except for , ninja, and prodigy, which are slightly weaker, mummy and police are basically very strong. The fire-breathing attack power of the police is higher, and the attack power of the fist is also higher than that of the mummy. But Mummy's comprehensive skills are higher than Uncle Jingcha's. The mummy's combos are the most convenient, and its running and jumping attacks can deal with any BOSS. On the contrary, the running and jumping attacks of Jingcha, Ninja, and Prodigy can easily be hit by its counterattack against the gorilla in the fourth level. Mummy also has a huge advantage. It can move at will when using its special moves. This is something that the other three characters cannot compare to. For example, if you choose a mummy and there is only a little health left, and there is a big chicken leg not far ahead, and you are surrounded by several minions and the BOSS, you can use your special move to knock down all the minions, and you can also move to the drumstick. eat. It is very dangerous for the other three characters to encounter such a situation. They can only knock down the minions and the boss with their special moves, but they cannot move. They may still be killed by the minions who get up before they run up to take blood.

. The Goxueji Clan

I always feel that the subsequent generations of the Goxueji Clan are not as fun as the first generation.Although there are only 8 characters in the first generation (9 including the final Mrs. Rabbit), the moves and actions of each character are very distinct. The most popular one here is probably Monk Chen Nian (Tiger). His Flashing Hundred Fissure Fist, Arhat Kick, Light Bulb, and Holding Talisman are all very useful. Especially after immobilizing the enemy with the Immobilization Talisman, running up to him and crushing him with a Flashing Hundred-Split Fist is very satisfying visually. Rats and pigs are also easier to use. The snakes and cows inside may not be popular.

. Captain Hook

Captain Hook's 5 children, the eldest Peter is the easiest to get started with. The fourth doll is also very good. His jumping and rolling can knock down the little monkey's flip in the air. After knocking the BOSS down, he flattens his butt like garlic. It's really cool to see the BOSS's painful expression! You can easily pass the level by choosing the boss and the fourth. Fatty Lao Wu has the highest attack power, but his movements are a bit slow. The second and third children here are probably the most tragic. They have weak attack power and many weaknesses. It is difficult to pass the level with these two characters.

. Fast Fighting Tornado

I remember when I watched other people playing in the arcade, many people would choose the man in white. When they met in doubles, one would choose the man in white and the other the man in red. I had never seen anyone choose one. The mayor's. For many people, the man in white is handsome and has dashing movements, making him the most useful character. The man in red is second. As for the chubby uncle mayor, his attack power is actually very high, but I always can’t use it well and I’ve never gotten past the second level! Sweat...

. Proud Sword and Wild Blade

This is a martial arts fighting game produced by Taiwan IGS Company in 1998, but I feel that the feel is not as good as the Samurai Shodown series. The most popular players in this game are Long Lingfeng and Dugu Can. These two characters have gorgeous moves and are relatively easy to clear. In addition to Long Lingfeng and Dugu Can, Yin Yang Judge and Shangguan Yu are also easier to use. As for the other characters, basically no one cares about them.

. The Five Tiger Generals in the Three Kingdoms

. In fact, I don’t understand why the fifth one is not Ma Chao but Bald Wei Yan. But having said that, the game Romance of the Three Kingdoms 2 really influenced an entire generation. Among the five generals, Guan Yu is the easiest to master. Except for the slight flaw in the Taishan pressure move, Guan Erye's skills are basically relatively comprehensive.

In arcades, Guan Yu is also the most popular character. Zhang Fei's attack power is also very strong, but when he attacks, he cannot grab the minions and throw them back. Moreover, after grabbing the minions, he likes to drink blood in large gulps, so it is easy for him to be attacked by the minions behind him. The handsome guy Zhao Yun is very powerful when used properly, but the attack power of his fists is a bit weak. It is estimated that no one would dare to choose Mr. Huang in the arcade. He has no fists and can only shoot arrows, and it is troublesome to keep pressing the buttons to shoot three arrows. Bald Wei Yan is an unpopular character, and his attack power is not bad.

0.Knights of the Round Table

Capcom's Kombat Tornado, Romance of the Three Kingdoms 2, Knights of the Round Table, Generals, and Dinosaur Kombat produced in the late 1980s and early 1990s are the five most classic clearance categories. game. Knights of the Round Table is the most unique among them, because it does not have a throwing setting, and it adds defense and upgrade skills, making this game look refreshing.

The real protagonist of Knights of the Round Table is actually King Arthur in the middle, but the most popular among players is probably the yellow-haired prince. The yellow-haired prince's various skills are relatively comprehensive. King Arthur's heavy sword slashing action is a bit slow, and it is easy for the soldiers to counterattack. The axe-man's attack power is very high, but he cannot jump up to attack the eagle in the air.

1. The True Story of the Demon Realm

I have never finished this game. I only like to choose the kid with the sword and the one who can summon toads. I have never used the other characters, and I can only hit the gorillas at most.When I watch other people playing this game in the arcade, they basically choose those two characters. Very few people choose other characters. Maybe these two characters are really easier to use.

2. Ninja Baseball

I have never played this game, but I know that the green ninja is the most popular character. Looking at other people playing this game, it’s basically children who like to play this game. The most popular one is the green ninja. I just know that it can fly and fire lasers and other moves. It’s more powerful. The blue ninja and the red ninja are more powerful. Ninja comes second. I’m afraid no one would like to choose the fat, yellow ninja.

3. Shikoku Fighter

I only like to play the first generation of Shikoku Fighter, which has aircraft from 4 countries. In doubles, both players can only choose aircraft from the same country. I think the 4th one is the most powerful, the 1st one is the second best, and the second and third one are the worst.

4. Caijing1945

I have not played the second or third generation of this game. The first generation is indeed a classic. The most popular one among them is undoubtedly the fourth one, which has a very strong charge attack, and the sixth one is the worst.

5.Double Dragon Fighting

The combos in this game are very scary. It is said that the master can keep you comboing until you die. In fact, the 10 characters here are relatively easy to use. It depends on whether you are familiar with their moves. Except for Fire Pig and Rebecca, who are slightly weaker, the other eight characters are all very strong. If I have to say the strongest, I think the two dragons, ninjas and black people are the strongest.

6.War of the Three Kingdoms

Among the 10 characters in War of the Three Kingdoms, Brother Pig is of course the strongest. He can pick up various powerful swords, and various props can also be picked up (death-free gold medals and arrows used by Huang Zhong) except). But the moves are too simple. Zhao Yun's moves are very gorgeous and practical, and he is the most useful character besides Brother Pig. Zhang Fei's attack power is very strong. Zhang Liao and white Huang Zhong are also easier to use. Guan Yu and Diao Chan are the most tragic. Red Zhang Fei's attack power is also very strong. It is the best to use against Diao Chan and Lu Bu, but it has no energy. Zuo Ci has great difficulty.

7. Journey to the West: The Legend of Shie

The handsome dragon horse is the most popular character. Various skills are very easy to use. The wooden stakes can attack all enemies. Brother Monkey's Tiangang Fire sometimes fails to burn the soldiers. Lao Zhu's earth evil skill cannot hit the enemies behind him. Xiao Longnu is an unpopular character and her attack power is a bit weak. The most tragic thing is Monk Sha. Actually, I think Monk Sha's Ice Palm is okay. Why don't many people like to use it?

denjing2

The man with sunglasses is probably the most useful one. When I watch other people playing this game in the arcade, they basically all choose the man with sunglasses, and some people like to choose the angel girl, and the other 6 characters. Very few people use it anymore. I'm not very familiar with this game. Maybe the man in sunglasses is the same as the yellow hat in Dino Kombat. His moves and skills are very useful, plus he looks handsome. It is said that this man in sunglasses is the final BOSS of the first generation. I wonder if it is true?

9. Dragon King Warrior

The archers in this game should be the most popular. The attack range is long, but the damage caused is more blood. The strongest among them should be the magician. In the later levels, the higher the upgrade, the more terrifying the attack power. The highest level attack is lightning, which is very powerful. The other three characters are more general, but can use shields to resist enemy attacks.

0. The super energy, the monkey-like character is also good, and the bombs are the ones floating around.The weakest one is probably the girl who is fashionably dressed.

1. Demon Warrior

Capcom launched a 2D fighting game "Demon Warrior" in 1994, with a fantasy Western ghost theme, including vampires, mummies, zombies, Frankenstein, Catwoman, werewolves... and other ghosts The fast-paced fighting style was well received, but unfortunately with the rise of the King of Fighters series and the rise of 3D fighting games, Demon Warrior was gradually forgotten by people.

There are many characters in Demon Warrior, each character has a strange appearance, and some characters don’t even know their names. However, I think the Bat Prince, Bull Demon King and a girl with exposed shoulders are more useful. Not many people would choose the Green Giant and Polar Bear.

2. Sonic Superman 2

This game feels very smooth, and the difficulty is also very low. 100,000 points will award a life, and you can also play a life-awarding doll in the middle. The power of the bomb is also very great. Clearing the level with one coin is a good idea for many people. It's very easy. Experts can often pass the level without losing any blood. Among the three protagonists, the girl is the most useful, with fast movements and beautiful moves. The handsome guy in the middle is okay, but the green robot is too bulky and moves slowly.

3. Transform into a Ninja

This game is a bit different, because the protagonist can transform into any enemy character (except BOSS). If you want to pass the level, you must transform. It is very difficult to pass the level without transforming. Many people like to choose the blue ninja, but I am afraid there is no candidate for the yellow lion-like ninja. I have no research on this game.

4. Streets of Rage 2

I like playing this game very much. I think it is quite difficult. I can only play it up to the sixth level. My favorite is the handsome guy in white. The action of adding A forward is very cool and has high attack power. I have never played the other three characters. The fat guy has relatively high attack power, but his movements seem a bit slow. The one wearing skates is agile, and there is a girl who is relatively unpopular.

5. Western Cowboy

The story background of this game is the western part of the United States, the legendary story of the legendary Western Cowboy; there are four cowboys to choose from, the eldest and second eldest brother are both double-gun type, and the third and fourth eldest brother have guns. It is powerful and has shotguns. Generally speaking, these two types of guns have their own shortcomings and advantages. The eldest and second eldest are more powerful, while the third and fourth are more powerful. Generally speaking, I still prefer to use the boss and the second gun. The two guns are practical.

6. Battle of the Stars

This is a fighting machine model developed by Taiwan Yixiang Electronics Co., Ltd. in 1992, also known as "Huang Feihong". There are 9 characters: Wong Fei Hung, Black Jack, Thousand Faces Man, Thunder Leopard, Shenlong, Gray Wolf, Fire Fox, Hua Mulan and Hidden Figure Xian Weng. Each character has its own attack characteristics. At the time when King of Fighters was not yet dominant, this game was still quite popular. This classic game is no longer available in game arcades today, and Qianjibian MCC cannot find this game. At that time, I just felt that many people liked to choose the three characters of Huang Feihong, Hua Mulan and the Thousand Faces Man, and there were basically no candidates for other characters.

7. Legend of the Hungry Wolf 2

This fighting game has some 3-style style, but overall it still does not break away from the 2D style. When I watched other people play this game in the past, most of them chose Terry with the hat and Billy with the stick. The old man with the white beard had almost no choices.

8. Tekken 3

The arcade version of Tekken 3 was launched in the second half of 1997 and caused a sensation as soon as it was released. The story is set 19 years after the previous game, and the characters have been significantly updated. But what’s amazing is the innovative spatial 3D concept of this game! For beginners, Paul is undoubtedly the best utility character and is easy to pick up. But in fact, every character in Tekken is not simple. Once you are familiar with it, they are all masters.Hwarang, Kazama Jin, Mishima Heihachi, Yoshimitsu, Lei Wulong , Nina, and Marcelo are not fuel-efficient lamps. I think the only weak character in it is Andy who does the Brazilian dance moves. Of course there are experts who can play with him.

9. Sailor Moon

The game "Sailor Moon" was released in Japan in March 1992. The five protagonists and most of the enemy characters from the original work appear. Collecting a certain amount of crystal stars during battle can unleash 5 different special moves. Among the 5 beautiful girls, the one in the middle is the most popular. The girl with short blue hair and green clothes rarely chooses them. Imagine that you can control many beauties fighting monsters in the game, which is definitely very attractive to men!

0. World Heroes 2

The second generation has 14 characters, among which the two protagonists Ninja are the most popular. You can also bring out the hidden character Sun Wukong and the final BOSS. There are also magician and Lu Bu who are easier to use, but other characters are more average. The man in the mask barely saw the person choosing him.

The above are all. Now that I see these games, I really miss them. I remember that I used to go to the small grocery store to play game consoles right after school for 1 yuan and two game coins. Later, due to the rise of Internet cafes, arcades gradually declined, and I slowly faded out of this world. But these childhood memories cannot fade away. At that time, I was really carefree and happy. .
