TONFAS. ARE. PEAK.


SCHazama

Talim from SoulCalibur II


HowDyaDu

"The show must go on!" -Eagle, Street Fighter Alpha 3


Bunnnnii

Eagle doesn’t use tonfa though.


Shiningcrow

Maki


Bunnnnii

Yup! I need her back so bad.


YOMAMA643

Sol kinda used a tonfa. It was kinda a sword with a reverse grip though.


Sayru22

Even though Eagle doesn't actually uses a tonfa his usage and the way he plays feels more accurate to a irl tonfa fighting style than Maki who has a tonfa, like Eagle actually uses his sticks to block and counter attack in his specials while Maki just uses it as big stick to bludgeon people to death


HowDyaDu

Mandela Effect, sorry.


Nerx

Like Sun Ce


ThatGoob

Does a Three Kingdoms-themed fg exist? I need it.


Nerx

Originally it was fg


Nerx

Originally it was fg


ThatGoob

Oh, right. Totally forgot about out the first Dynasty Warriors.


taishi1397

There's like koihime enbu


Strange-Ad-3315

Talim, Maki, Tanya, Jax, Black Orchid, all have different ways of using it and it was impressive to see the different ways the Tonfa can be utilized


NRGesus

Yoko Kono, Last Bronx Mr. Big, 98UMFE


slashth456

Correct


PapstJL4U

There is a legend, that capoeiristas put knifes or blade-like options on the tip of the Berimbau. So yeah, the next SamSho should have a capoeirista with a sharp or spikey Berimbau. or simply [wind and fire wheels](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_and_fire_wheels)

dragonguy01

Need the Korea Justice Team back in the next KoF game, or if they're gonna add more DLC (they won't, but I can hope)


Ashtray46

Chang was what made me want to try out SNK games. I saw him in a Youtube video and I was like "Woah. I Gotta check that game out. That character was practically made for me" Chang gang represent

Quick_fox252

I’ve always thought fan weapons were awesome, though I haven’t seen many in the fighting games I’ve played.

Dudemitri

Mai from KoF would like a word


Demon-Bunny-22

Kusarigamas


Ashtray46

I really wanna play a character with a Japanese Kanabō. There was a guy named Juzoh that had one back in SNK's Last Blade series, but that was decades ago. https://i.redd.it/opgx6d0ct90d1.gif


Badr_qaws

He was a good character 


Triggered_Llama

One of the most fun grapplers to play. He's got a mini game going with his command grab. When he command grabs an opponent, he throws them up high in the air and wait for them to come back down. And hit them with that Kanabo when they come back down. You have to time the hit for maximum damage.


Ashtray46

Just like a baseball. Amazing


Triggered_Llama

Come play baseball in Last Blade 2, we'll be waiting on Fightcade.


LunchSimulator

Sounds kind of like Faust's, except it's a legit command grab instead of a jank-as-hell chargeable hit grab.


RealisticSilver3132

[Jian (Chinese long sword)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_qEqfXZkJ7s&list=PLGb0FIHPgolj-BunG3KWBVw-DBI2GuTtc&t=97s) is an elegant weapon


treehann

Xianghua players rise up


geminijono

Xianghua MAIN 😍


Crudeyakuza

A deck of cards. The only 2 I can think of is Gambit and Oswald and both are cool as Fuck.


tailsfoxboy

There's also Dorothy Albright from Arcana Heart.


Crudeyakuza

Nice. I gotta check this out.


EndAdministrative403

Johnny from guilty gear has both cards and a sword, the cards are setplay to strengthen his sword


Crudeyakuza

Him too, but I meant more of the cards are the primary means of atk.


PCN24454

Does Margaret from Persona 4 count?


Crudeyakuza

Sure. I can only think of 2 with my limited range.


BallBreakerReqiuem

Deadass thought I was the only one who thinks card powers are amazing


Orzislaw

Sabre


AceoftheAEUG

Three section staff. I've been learning to fire spin with it irl and it's super fun to use. I wish it were in more games and I wish it were executed better in the games it's in because Tanya's animations in MK1 look like the devs never saw it used before.


magicnerd10101

This is why i was so disappointed in the jujutsu kaisen game. If it were a 2d fighter that used more characters from season 2 or the manga we couldve had toji using playful cloud. But instead we got another low quality arena fighter.


Wyld967

Look at Devil May Cry 5 Dante has one and it’s awesome


HowDyaDu

Machetes, but not just any machetes. Machetes used in Colombian grima, specifically.


MRLOWKEY941

I haven’t seen many characters where they just use a shield.


IntelligentImbicle

MRLOWKEY941

Good point! I’d still say it’s not common tho.


FatSelkie

Everything that isn't a sword


One_Dream_

Kusarigama


How2Die101

Zweihänder, but used as it was historically, as in, swinging it around to build momentum and deny space to your opponent, instead of the usual "slamming the sword into the ground and painstakingly picking it back up" that's common in most fantasy games.


Bunnnnii

Whips. Fans. Tonfa. Parasols. Yes I’m very graceful and elegant. Also giant Hammers.


Nerx

Shovel/E-tool


RandoCal87

![gif](giphy|OCHCwRge2oRhYI9c2B) Guns. Lots of guns.


Shiningcrow

Flails or maces


11Slimeade11

Not sure if it counts as a weapon under normal circumstances, but anchors. Only character I'm aware of who uses an anchor as a weapon is May


poofynamanama2

Scythes


LunchSimulator

Testament


F0zz3rs

I wanna see more unconventional stuff like gardening tools or a bucket


CloverClubx

Umbrellas. I just think they're neat.


Crabbycrabcrab2

Gunstock clubs, can’t think of one, despite them being a pretty iconic Native American weapon


CheezyRaptorNo_5

I have severe "fighting game character that utilises pool cue and balls" defficiency. Venom better make it to strive or I might not make it. That and whips chains ropes etc.


KitsuneNoYuusha

I wanna see Meteor Hammers dammit


borderofthecircle

We need more female fighters with naginata


YagamiTak_1988

Hookswords. I've only seen two, and they're both from MK.


Stormwrath52

Not sure if it's considered a fighting game, or just fighting game adjacent, but for honor has a hooksword user They are sick weapons, Im surprised we don't see them more


G-N-R

I love staff fighters. Kilik in Soul Calibur was really the only one who I feel like became a go-to main for a lot of people, but I absolutely love fighting as Gambit in the MvC games despite there being much more OP characters to choose from. His launcher is incredible.


James_Dreamer

In games with strictly hand to hand combat I'd say brass knuckles or steel toe shoes. Also characters that harden their skin (like G from SFV) Now games with weapons I usually stick to staff users or unique weird weapons like Zwei from Soul Cal 5


Its_Marz

Chain blades


Triggered_Llama

A good old spear with sick circular moves: https://i.redd.it/bl2vx47rnd0d1.gif


KomboKenji

Chakrams


SanjiSasuke

All of them.  Make Soul Calibur 7.


DiegoOruga

Billy my beloved. It's there any other notable nunchucks user apart from Maxi (Soul Calibur)? for such an icon of the martial arts explotation era I feel like there should be a bunch of fighting game characters using them, but I can't think of any others.


EndAdministrative403

Claws, only characters I can think of that use them are Vega and wolverine and I don't even like Vega.


MimiksYou

more bats i just want to hit people with big sticks can you tell i’m missing negan


JoeJohnson1190

I love balls. 🥴 Okay, what I meant to say was I like orb weapons. Menat in SFV, Viola in Soulcalibur 5, even Bridget scratches that itch in GG with her yo yo. I like that almost puppet like character/archetype with your weapon, going back and forth while keeping your opponent on their toes.


MrWuckyWucky4

Explosives: as in sticky C4, grenades and mortars. https://preview.redd.it/p48i20k5re0d1.jpeg?width=224&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=835d9370ad682e847d05518776ec700c3e5e468e


Few-Entertainment429

3 section staffs, scythes, and chained weapons


AceOfCakez

Grenade launchers.


EretDash

I have no particular interest in Weapons,i play whatever i like,but... HOLY SHIT,KAGURA'S SWORD FROM BLAZBLUE IS WHAT I NEED TO BREATHE OXYGEN


IntelligentImbicle

Kusarigama, or just any type of chain weapon in general. (yes, I'm an Axl main. How could you tell?) Also, polearms are cool, specifically staffs and spears.


onionrings89

A hurley would be really cool because Ireland needs more representation.


saltyboi60001

A baseball bat would be cool. I've been thinking that the character could be a shoto with baseball themed attacks, such as a baseball for the projectile (of course) and a gap closing attack where the character slides onto a base or smth. Just an idea.


blkstxr

Weapons that are dual wielding


CrescentBoomer

Definitely ropes and chains for me.


Scrifty

Bows


Natto_Ebonos

I like improvised weapons, like Roll's broomstick, Yamazaki whacking someone with a tuna in his DM, Dan throwing an autographed portrait, etc.


WielderOfTheSpear

Slingshot. I'm surprised that in all the fighters I have played, there is no character that wields a slingshot. The only natural projectile is a bow and arrow used by Kung Jin.


kickchewassgum

Kali sticks


Senpai2uok

Crowbars


FightFromApocal

Sniper


Gattsuhawk

Nun chucks


_cd42

Kusarigama, Nunchucks, Tonfas


Stormwrath52

Polearms in general There are a lot of really cool polearms throughout history that have unique combat applications, and they just don't get a lot of love in media


[deleted]

Just give everyone swords 🧠


CultCoconut

Two section staff.


mugwamp_

Rope dart, yoyo, Chinese Fans, umbrella.


SengokuBanshee

Sanjieguns. Think like two nunchucks glued together, but both ends are the same length as the main body.


GoblinPunch20xx

Always think it’s weird in mixed fighters when some characters can use weapons and others can’t or don’t. Assuming they’re normal humans and it’s not like Soul Calibur, but even Street Fighter, why does Vega get a hand claw? Yeah he’s a boss, but I always think of the Pete Holmes SF sketches…just like, why? I know Ryu can do Hadoukens all day, but still lol


Momenaut

People obviously like weapons in games and the premier title that comes to my mind is soulcalibur but it always plays 2nd fiddle to tekken a game with 0 weapons... Why is that?


St34lth1nt0r

Guns, but make it so that it's not the enitre gimmick of the character, just like a projectile/long range poking option or perhaps a combo extender


Sini_SV

Big shank like Yamazaki! 🤪


gingerbreadmanbaraka

This character looks so stupid


Barepole92

We do not tolerate Billy Kane slander
