@MeachTheMonster you seriously don't know ryu is the main character of street fighter :mjlol:

Liu kang is the main character of mortal kombat :mjlol:

Rule of thumb is the most basic and easiest to pick up and play character

If they fight like a shoto, then that's your fighting game hero :ehh:
While i would agree that liu Kang is the main character, They often use Scorpion as the tutorial character. His moveset is the easiest to pickup for the beginners. and he is lowkey the face of the franchise nowadays.

Sort of like how Cyclops or Prof X is technically main character of the X-men franchise. but Wolverine often takes the shine

Scorpion was always the “main character” of MK1 as far as i was concerned.

Would maybe give MK 2 to lui kang due to the movie and the iconic bicycle kick.

But that’s my point. Fighting games usually don’t have one character they present as the “main”

The community may pick the “main character” but that’s usually up for debate.

Yeah, liu Kang had been getting shafted for pretty much the past decade but he's finally got the spotlight again

In the games at least cause the sequel to the last movie rumored to be bushing him again :francis:

In spite it all, I consider him to be the lead hero of the overall series. Other characters may take the lead during individual games but he's always gonna be the one it revolves around. Cause the reason other characters get to shine is cause it'd get old if every game ended with liu winning the tournament :yeshrug:

You point isn't a very sharp one, based on most of your comments in the thread. The only one of any validity is that in some series, the main character is changed, which was never argued against and stated as such by multiple people. And the change in main character is typically based on story reason, like any other medium of continuity.

All that other shyt is ridiculous b. Just concede in the fact that you don't know what you don't know.

Why are yall having such a problem with this?

Just say the criteria we are working with to determine who’s the “main character”

Kneegro why are YOU having such a problem with this. :dahell:

Everyone of those characters are driving the story of the game they’re in and have a conflict with the main villain.

For the record Scorpion has never been the main character he is just Boon’s favorite.

Ummm my first post was a question.

That’s literally what a person is supposed to do when they don’t know something.

You goofy nikkas didn’t have an answer for the question so you decided to attack the person asking the question.

Just concede the fact that the “main character” in most fighting games is debatable and not based on any distinct criteria. :stopitslime:

This goes for lots of different characters in those games.
For the record Scorpion has never been the main character he is just Boon’s favorite.
So he’s the character the devs themselves called their favorite and they promoted as such.

But he ain’t the “main character” according to you, and yall in here mad at me for saying fighting game main characters have been debatable?? :beli:

A question that has been answered, multiple times, by multiple people. You just don't agree with the answer for...reasons. You truly just have this inane and insane fixation on arguing and obsession with being "right".
