Best...fighting...character...ever!

There have been many silly fighting game characters throughout the ages. Many were meant to have some use, while others were just there as jokes. However, none have matched the sheer levels of amazement that is this character:

SENATOR, FROM ETERNAL CHAMPIONS CD! (A pic is coming soon).

You know all those stupid politicians that blame video game violence on all the problems in society? Well, here’s the ultimate jab at them: put a US Senator (fictional, of course) into quite possibly the most violent game ever created! And not only that, it’s a corrupt Republican senator! Can it get any more real than that?

He even has a set of politically-motivated specials:

RED TAPE: He throws a bunch of red tape at his opponent. The projectile is slow-moving, but it can eat through any other projectiles and covers the poor sap in so much red tape that they can’t even move!

VETO: He throws a sticker that reads “Veto”. If it connects, the opponent cannot walk or block; they can only attack.

IMPEACH: He can make himself completely invisible, and attack opponents from all corners!

BAN VIOLENCE: He throws a sticker that reads “Ban”. If it connects, the opponent cannot attacks; they can only move and block!

DIPLOMATIC IMMUNITY: He can wave an American flag around, and through the magic that is this country, become completely invincible!

DONATE: He carries a magic wallet with him. When he wants some funds, all he has to do is open it. A lightning bolt will strike whoever is nearby and turn them upside-down, causing their cash to fall out of their pockets and get sucked into his wallet!

MUD SLINGER: He can make himself look pure good while his opponent looks pure evil. Nobody would vote against him after using this attack!

And let’s not forget his powerful skill moves:

REBUTTAL: He can hide behind a podium, which bares a magical American flag! All projectiles are bounced back to their commie users when this is wielded!

VOTER PIN STAB: Like all good politicians, he has an assortment of campaign badges! Too bad he can’t pin them as well as he can help rule the free world!

KICKBACK: With a punch, a kick, and a whole lot of hits, he can pull off a champion combo…FOR DEMOCRACY!

SNEAK ATTACK: Assassins, beware! He can vanish into thin-air and reappear above you, his foot ready to crush your atheist head into a bloody pulp!

And let’s not forget his charming finishers, many of which are curtosy of D.C:

VENDETTA: Our hero also works as a mere postal worker, and when the communist bastards threaten the god-fearing people of America, he’ll be there! Armed with his beloved Uzi 9mm, he’ll turn those bastards into swiss chess…OF DEMOCRACY!

OVERKILL: Washington D.C. is ready for any threat! When need be, our hero can push a button, and launch a nuke anywhere! The only problem comes when the attack is on D.C. itself…but our hero is not THAT DUMB…is he?

SUDDEN DEATH: He has friends everywhere, it seems! The mere sewer workers of America hate communists as much as he does, and will not hesitate to blow their godless asses away! In fact, that’s what they’ll do if the foolish opposers of freedom get by their manhole! They’ll blow them all the way to the Washington Memorial!

And that’s all I can say about our beloved hero, the Senator. So go get your hands on this game (either through eBay or ISO) and champion the way of truth, justice, and the American way!

Oh GODS, I want to play this game SOOOOOO badly. ><

I was never able to get my hands on a Sega CD…the first Eternal Champions is probobly my favorate 2D fighter.

I would give a kidney to play this. :too bad;

I’ve heard very few things about it, but I AM fammiliar with the Senator. DEFINATELY one of the more interesting characters.

Xavier will ALWAYS be my favorate, though. :hahaha;

Ingenious!

<img src=“http://www.rpgclassics.com/staff/tenchimaru/td.gif”> Sounds broken.

Strangely, I came into this topic expecting an off-beat character, but I didn’t think for a minute that you’d choose Senator.

“Citizen!”

Still, I think that Thanatos is a better choice.

That dude is overpowered :stuck_out_tongue:

No more than Xavier, the stupid fucker. Why did Sega make him such a cheap character, anyway? He was so great in the first one!

Errrr…

Ok?

I love bureaucratic immobilizing techniques!

Heh… really wish I could play the Sega CD version of the game… I sincerely enjoy the original, and this one looks like fun…

But, even though my experiance is limited, I still say Larcen could kick everyone’s ass!

We used to have a SegaCD. Im sure its still around here somewhere, rotting a garage or something. Never played this game though, we only had SonicCD (i think that was what it was called).

6…

Kirby,
Ness,
Peach,
Marth,
Ken,
Kazuya.

they are the elite.

Is it acidic?

Awesome :hahaha; I just got my hands on a Mega CD (as they’re known over here)… I think I know what my next purchase will be. :get it?: I always thought Senator was an unlockable character, though… Same as “chicken” and all the other ones.

My top 5 fighters of all time, though, would have to be-

Scorpion
Jann-Lee
Jacky Bryant
Mitsurugi
Ken Masters :hahaha;

When I read Senator’s description, I couldn’t believe he was a real character. I checked on GameFAQs and comfirmed he is…

O_o Politicians can be unsavory people!

I think Earthworm Jim was the coolest fighting game character ever… or maybe coolest video game character ever.

He is an unlockable character. You have two ways to get him:

  1. Set the game on easy and win every fight up to the Eternal Champion by letting the timer run out.

  2. Enter the secret password, buried deep into Gamefaqs.

Fools. You ALL know that the best fighting game character ever is … DIZZY from Guilty Gear X!

I am?

Yes! Not only does she have Teh Potentially Deadly Kawaii … well … Look at her outfit!

… I’m looking at it!

Whuh-oh! Zoinks! [runs]

ARRRRR!!! [WHAMF WHAMF WHAMF]

The best character ev0r = that boss guy in an old SNK game wearing a gimp mask while banging the other dude. It’s on fighter mania, just check the appropriate section (I think it’s called S&M)

My Top 5 would have to be

  1. Ryu/Ken (SF)
  2. Jin/Kazuya (Tekken)
  3. Sol/Ky (GGXX)
  4. Sub-Zer0 (MK)
  5. Sagat (SF)
