Again, i just asked how were you determining it for the purpose of this thread.

We could say the “main character” is the one on the box or leading in most promotion materials.

We could say it’s the one most people use.

We could say it’s the character most people remember when they think about the game.

We could say it’s the one that “wins” the tournament in the games canon.

Ultimately, trying to pinpoint a “main character” in most games is not very straightforward. Hence the debate in your thread.
The only one debating is you. Anyone play Guilty Gear knows that Sol Badguy is the MC. If you've never played then we get questions like yours.

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".

This is the closest you gave me to an answer

The developer determines that by the story, generally speaking.
Then yall told me this
For the record Scorpion has never been the main character he is just Boon’s favorite.
So it’s the devs choice, but we don’t listen to the devs when it comes to MK1 :jbhmm:

So again, all you’ve done is proven the shyt is debatable and attacked me for saying it.

nikkas crazy :francis:

Ay yooo @GoldenGlove get this nikka outta my thread. He's derailing this shyt.
Yeah, I usually don't even feel one way or another about shot like this, but Duke obviously got some real comprehension issues and trolling issues at the same time. shyt extends well past console warring. All and all, fukk this guy. I agree with you. Get him outta here. Ain't no "sneaking" about it this time.

Your response to me asking what the criteria for this thread is.
You don't know any better cuz by your own admission, you don't really play fighting games

So who the fukk is the main character then :stopitslime:
it doesnt have to be official, but wholistically, if a character is featured prominently on the box, has a play style that is broad enough to be appealing to lots of players, and has a narrative that represents the essence of the fighting competition the game is based around, that is probably "the" or "a" MC.

according to my own criteria:

ryu is the MC for SF1 and SF2. the SF2 tagline "the world warrior" is probably best exemplified by ryu since his motivations are purely about traveling the world to fight the best. he wears a simple white gi, which in a Japanese context, is about as pure martial arts as it gets.

he often is featured alone or is the focus when on marketing materials with other characters during the SF1 and 2 era.

his fighting style allows for both up close striking and long range projectile play.

he stopped being the MC for each game after that, but he still is the MC for the series as a whole or even all fighting game series since his quest to be the best through world competition is essentially what the game players are doing when playing locally or online against another human opponent.
