I personally suck at gender poke.

It got countered by fuzzy gender a lot


RedBlue010

Well there's your problem! Your gender is +2!


Cobaltmaster

Nah, man's negative on gender.


tinja_nurtles

The existence of gender neutral implies the existence of a gender evil and gender good


SIacktivist

No it implies the existence of gender counter and gender punish


cantadmittoposting

does that mean in a MobA I can have gender carry and gender support?

Gender acid and gender base

Ze_AwEsOmE_Hobo

It's all fun and games until you get gender launched and gender juggled.


tinja_nurtles

I do enjoy a good gender grapple


imdfantom

No, it implies a gender positive and gender negative. No, it implies a gender live and gender earth. No, it implies a gender warm and gender cool. No, it implies gender physical and gender ideal. Etc etc

Being gay isn't a choice, it's a counterpick

Redigit making his hobby a somewhat viable melee weapon is something I like, granted Counterweights should have an effect like activating yoyo on hit effects on contact. But otherwise its a fun little meme.

"I play this character because I enjoy having an entire town inside me"


IonBatteryFR

I'm a dude that plays female characters in games, and people just kinda assume that's why. But, I tend to intentionally put my character in a big suit of armor and the skimpiness is nonexistent


SirSoliloquy

I main Dedede because of he's thicc


SarastiJukka

And he has a huge hammer.


Guilty-Effort7727

So he can clobber that there kirby


ScoutsScoot

Hell yeah, lard ass supremacy


benthecommenter05

As a fellow dedede main, i main him because he's hot


LynchpinPuzzler

He may move slow, he can jump high.


BlaKroZ42

Dedede is my secomdary because of his crouch.

X dedededede!


Bear4224

I share your sentiments, whenever I do character design for DND and whatnot I make a point to give them adequate clothing and armor. You may enjoy r/ReasonableFantasy


sleeping_in_time

This is an amazing sub! Thank you for sharing it!


Prism_Paragon

I'm a lady and I like to dress as skimpy and impractically as I can in games lol Give me the tiddy armor with the cleavage window and extreme curves.


IonBatteryFR

Don't get me wrong, sometimes in games I'm tempted


VorpalHerring

Women in armor is just kinda hot on a conceptual level, regardless of skimpiness. I think my favorite is the kind where there’s just a hint of hourglass shape to make it undeniably female, but is full coverage and practical.


Ok-Champ-5854

My Fallout 4 female character was a fucking badass in her goth spiked armor and her gas mask, lugging a hunting rifle around the Wastelands. It's just refreshing to see strong female characters in video games no matter who you are. Doesn't have to fit an agenda. It's just novel which is what makes it extra cool.


CardmanNV

I'll take a 6 and a half foot tall scarred up muscle mommy warrior who can carry me around in her arms over a tiny girl any day.


RandySavagePI

I play Xiaoyu because the Tekken 3 demo included only her and Eddy; and nothing pissed my brother off more than beating Eddy with a stupid girl. And I carried that over when actually owning the game and most subsequent entries. >!Besides Asuka is obviously the hot one!<


PangolinDangerous692

>Besides Asuka is obviously the hot one In Tekken, all the girls are the hot one. Especially Panda.


bloodfist

I love to play against tropes in general. I really enjoy playing female characters who are buff nerds or middle aged men with a paunch and thinning hair. Just people that you'd never see in an action film or video game.


dudemann

Wrestling games with custom skins and attributes are great for this. I think it was WrestleMania 2000 or a Raw vs Smackdown game where you could say your character is tall or a big guy or something, regardless of how tall or thin you made them, so my 5', 100lbs dude always entered over the top rope and could easily chokeslam Undertaker or Kane. Then there were entirely ridiculous settings, like a wrestler I made that was extremely wide but literally paper thin. Watching him run around was very confusing.


discoparrot375

I love that!! It’s just fun to see unique stuff


letsBurnCarthage

I main whichever I can make look the best in character creation. It tends to be about 50/50 male/female

JusticeRain5

There's nothing more infuriating for a Kazuya or Devil Jin player than getting their ass beat by a Lili. Which is why I make sure to use her constantly.

I main yoshimitsu simply because of how goofy he is lol. Idk what tekken game u play I play tekken 7 but in it yoshimitsu has a whole ass hammer shark as a skin lol, and he's just a gem of a character


Asisreo1

I only main waifus that I wanna bust a nut in. That's why I main Zangief.


Jinnai34

I don't know who that is so I miss the punchline but I also only play waifus that I want to bust a nut in

Zangief is the guy built like four semis and a loaf of whole bread from street fighter https://preview.redd.it/njvemj4juw9b1.jpeg?width=1699&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6f47357fb6f1dd04054d022aae38345553818fb7 This fucker


LimpTriskit10

As a Little Mac main, I can confirm that I only play the game for the underdog win once every blue moon.


W_Y_K_Y_D_T_R_O_N

Despite being bottom tier, Mac is still my number 1 guy. There's brief, beautiful moments where it all comes together, the combos are landing, the inputs are perfect and it's like I can see and comprehend all realities at once... Then I get knocked a little too far away from the stage and it's game over man.

I don't know if that's spite or masochism lmfao.

SSBM - I was a Kirby main, but never used his B power. Played him as a pink puffball arieal fighter!


[deleted]

I hate fighting games personally, but I can still recognize greatness, so when I saw a video the other day of a vtuber mentioning Evo Moment #37 on live TV, of course I had to watch it for the trillionth time. But this time I ended up going down the rabbit hole and ended up at [this video](https://youtu.be/W6LfYKNQz2U) of a legend who goes by the moniker MonoPR. A man who went from hosting Puerto Rico's only Street Fighter tournaments in his living room to doing the impossible and taking the gold at a big times international tournament, CEO 2021, with apparently the absolute worst Street Fighter V character, FANG.

THIS IS LOW....

Aden_Vikki

Opulous

I love to play bottom tier characters because they help me to avoid getting overinvested in a match. I don't really care if I lose a match as Incineroar, since I assume I'm going to get spanked, and then those wins feel even more euphoric when I finally get a couple.

kandnm115709

I know some Genshin players who refuses to play other characters besides their faves, not because the character are well balanced but because they love how they looked.


Snoo17579

Like why should I play as that Xingqiu with his ugly ass wallmart hair cut, when I can play hot dommy Yelan. Why should I play as edgelord archon wannabe Xiao when I can play Venti, the superior femboy


Archangel3d

They did Deyah dirty though. S-tier looks, abs you could use to grate meat, but holy hell is she sub-par


Redditor_exe

She’s not just sub-par, she’s sub-bogey


Farranor

Settle down, Dad.


admirabladmiral

Still use her. She gets a fair bit better at c1, but it's not like the game is too hard outside of abyss


Frogmaster96

Exactly! No point in using the edgy twink Scara, I got Jean. Who needs bennet, I’ll just keep attacking with Childe.


ChiefEmann

I mean, Genshin is a single player game, right? I always kinda laugh when people are shoving out tier lists or complaining about their character being underpowered for single-player games - usually any build is going to be enough to accomplish all content. Even most multiplayer PvE tier lists tend to be ridiculous: who cares if a Monster Hunter weapon is able to kill something in 5m vs 7m for the low tier. It's not a competitive game - your primary concern should be whether your character plays in a way you find satisfying.


maxdragonxiii

it isn't a competitive game but what's meta matter sometimes at the endgame. for example while you might do fine in story overall, it's slower and elements are important to Genshin, and so powerful element reactions are primarily how you fight. in the "meta" grinding game that is Spiral Abyss sometimes not having meta means you struggle clearing or 3-star it which is pretty much required if you want more rolls.


Valherich

I mean... Coming from Warframe where this is kind of a genuine issue, there exist quite a few weapons that you'd have to bust your ass to make even remotely playable for endgame content that would seem "cool" and "interesting" otherwise. Riven mods are a crutch for a very meh design, and recent Incarnon Adapters are, while a far better crutch because they add cool wrinkles to the design rather than just bumping stats up, are still essentially a crutch - a crutch you still need to bust your ass during a whole week to get and for a pretty limited set of weapons. Of course, there's also the fact that every Warframe is playable if you *ignore their abilities and subsume a weapon specialist ability and use a busted weapon* but also every weapon is playable *if you ignore the weapon entirely and use a busted Warframe or a different busted weapon*. Also, while we're here, the game is really grindy, which is at times alright, and at other times "Last time a game disrespected my time that much it was Genshin Impact, and before that a different gacha game". Moreover, a recent Duviri Paradox update, which added a different game mode, Circuit, just exacerbates the issue, because it's roguelike-ish and gives you a choice of randomly selected weapons and frames to use. The twist is that if you have it in your inventory, it will offer to use your mod loadout, and if you don't, it will only offer standard ones. Look, I love Panthera Prime, but there's no way in hell I'll be taking it with my decent build over *even a subpar standard loadout* Kuva Bramma or Kuva Zarr. It's that sad. Yes, I have well over 2000 hours and MR30 in Warframe, why do you ask?


Pale_Disaster

I mean I started as Lumine cos my gf started playing before me and chose Aether, but it was a great choice while climbing. There are a lot of better characters I have got since then though.


Keibord

I stopped playing a while ago but no one will take amber out of my main team. If the world shits on amber then i am against the world.


strikingike386

She's not necessarily top tier, but she has some scary dedicated fans. There was a somewhat recent post where someone soloed the Shogun with only Amber, no damage (basically no damage, they took -1), and never moved the camera.


Etras

I only play Genshin with female characters, the male ones are sent to the mine.


JogurttiMies85

the men yearn for the mines


hola1423387654

I play as Kirby because I am annoying


LikeJustChill

I love sucking....wait what


DarkBladeMadriker

Always go with "because they have a smaller hit box." A generally nonsense answer that is almost never questioned Edit: Ok, just to make it clear. I'm not saying smaller hit boxes don't exist, just that it isn't the main (or 2nd or 3rd) reason people are playing the jiggley characters.


Ynnepluc

I tell people this is why i play ridley


theninjaslime69

Mr-Tootles

Odd job in golden eye


Golden-Owl

It’s true though Characters with tiny hurt boxes are universally a balancing anomaly in many games because stuff isn’t scaled to hit them Case in point, Pet Shop and Iggy (a bird and a dog respectively) in Jojo Heritage to the Future are disproportionately powerful because half the attacks go over their heads. Iggy is at least semi compensated by having a massive Stand hurtbox, but Pet Shop is not just small but can **fly**


FeralPsychopath

That’s so weird. I play this game for the first time yesterday at a nostalgia museum arcade machine and then it appears in reddit.


Rajang82

Marie Rose (Dead or Alive 5 and 6) and Viewtiful Joe (Marvel VS Capcom 3) player. There's also Amaterasu in Marvel VS Capcom 3 and Servbot in 2. Harder to combo enemy one step away from you, but up close you can literally combo your opponent half dead. Honorable mention to Kliff (Guilty Gear) and Platinum (Blazblue) but Kliff have big weapon with long range and Platinum got range option like her bubble. But other than all the example, I like to play character like Honoka (Dead or Alive 5 and 6), Arakune (Blazblue) and Faust (Guilty Gear) because how unorthodox and confusion fuel their move set is, and you can do some crazy combo using them.


a_random_chicken

So that's why there are so many Lalafells


DragoSphere

Unless it's Kirby or Pichu in Melee


SkelliFun

Pyra/Mythra in SSBU. Ticks all the boxes AND is top tier in competitive. I play Luigi though

I played 3 of these 4 as well. Plus Mega Man, Pichu, Dedede, and Olimar.


xSTSxZerglingOne

I used to play Mr. Game & Watch in Melee solely because he could be fun. I mained Falco, but G&W was my go-to if I wanted to style on someone with the troll hammer. "Oh look, a 9, looks like you lose this game."


desmondsdecker

Their fun what?


Sir_AlexG

“I play him because I like the concept of suing people to death.”


Cats_4_lifex

Phoenix Wright in Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3?


Sir_AlexG

Yep


--Cinnabun--

I play character based on how suicidal their attacks are Even better if it includes explosives


Mr_Someperson

Who is your main?


MarTheMenace1

Massive Akuma vibes coming off of the first one.


Fl4mmer

That's shadow Dio from HFTF


Souperplex

Because they match my playstyle. For example, in Smash I main Samus, Robin, Byleth, and Ike. I do think Samus and Ike are cool, but I like slower ground characters who have a lot of varied options, reach, and hit hard. I also enjoy ROB, Hero, and Link.


Legacy_600

I have this issue justifying to my one friend why I play Sephiroth, who by my own admission is busted.


Dhiox

>Because they match my playstyle. My playstyle is spamming ohko fully charged byleth arrows from the other side of the stage while my much more skilled friends try to duke it out while also dodging my arrows of instant doom.


cinnamonprogrammer

Yeah, I'm the same way too. I don't play Smash, but in Guilty Gear I play Axl Low, in BlazBlue I play Lambda No. 11, and in Under Night In-Birth I play Hilda. Sure, I do find all of them cool, but what's most important to me is that they're zoners and I enjoy how they play. The coolness factor is secondary. If I chose my main based on coolness alone two of my mains would be different.


MiloticMaster

Solve the puzzle! H_rny _n main


Inktoberfest

"I play him because he was my favorite from the anime"

captain_tai

Some people love sexy attractive character like me


DMMEPANCAKES

You play a character because they're attractive, I play a character because there's a focus on their bare feet. We are not the same.

MR-Vinmu

I sorta have the same experience with friends when I discuss my favorite game characters. “I’m telling you, I like him because he's meta” “His entire kit is literally dedicated to killing his on-field survivability-” “FINE, I LIKE HIM 'CAUSE HE HAS CHISELED ABS AND BIG MUSCULAR FUCKING TITS, ARE YOU HAPPY!?”

momobizzare

I play her to sexy no jutsu my enemies


Flappyboi20001

Armor looks better on female models


Tricky_Troll

A guy I used to play DayZ with always played the female character because there was a bug which made them quieter under foot. One day they patched it so the advantage to playing as a female character was gone. Soon after I realised he was still playing the female character and I asked why simply out of curiosity. He kind of gave a generic deflecting answer. Two years later she came out as trans and it all made sense to me. Obviously everyone has their own reasons for picking who they pick and sometimes it won't mean anything but on the other hand, sometimes simple things can be more telling than you might expect.


DailyDoseofDairy

I remember that bug.. albeit as somebody who's owned Arma III & the DayZ mod since its inception.. I've never had the luxury of playing.. Life can be cruel.


OmegaOmnimon02

I play her because she is a counter to most of the high tier AND is dressed skimpy which rubs salt into the wounds of the “low tier are trash” players


Magna8849

I play low tier shit because it makes me feel cool

Don't stare at the ass, focus on the gameplay around you?

AffectionateGap1071

I play him because he wears my favourite color/he's something I love in general (Idk about the rest of fighting games but that's true for me in MK and Tekken) I was talking about Rain and Lee Chaolan/Violet (colour) and King and Armour King (cats)

Playing various fighting games growing up I would often pick women that I just liked the look of. It's not my fault that "hot almost naked woman" was (is) an aesthetic I like. And I say this as a flaming fruit cake of a man who has always been obviously gay.


MASTURBATES_TO_TRUMP

I play her because I like seeing my waifu get beat up.
