What gender of characters do you find yourself playing as more in fighting games? The males or the females?

For me, it's the female characters. I generally find them more enjoyable to play as. My mains in fighting games almost always consists of female characters.

Male. I guess it just feels more natural for me to play as my own gender.

I guess they do so because the creators themselves are males?

Am I the only one who's not bothered when female characters wear revealing outfits? Yes, they can be seen as pervy, but dang, I always thought it brings a more fantasy vibe to some games, as there are female characters who dressed like that in old RPG's.

I agree. I don't mind them at all. In fact, I like it when the hot girls in fighting games dress that way. I never understood why a lot of people seem to hate that.

It depends entirely on how the characters play. I'm not really discriminate, it's just coincidence that most characters I prefer are male.

Mmm...

I don't really care to much about the character itself. As long as I'm comfortable with the style he/she fights in, I'll take 'em. :P

Thanks to Alisa Bosconovitch females a lot more (if you can call an android a female...). They're just so much nicer to look at. ;) Plus they usually move pretty fast.

I enjoy playing grappler characters (Zangief, Potemkin, Jeffry McWild) which is an almost exclusivly male-dominated role in fighting games.

You mean to tell me those hands holding the gun in a FPS have a gender? ...and that my "sky view" in a RTS is also influenced by such a thing? Psh. If it's a arcade style fighting game, I usually choose the sexy block of wood.

Yeah, nice how games like Tekken 6 and Soul Calibur V have options for that. I have gave some female characters my own customs in those games. Interesting to see that "Female" has more votes now too.

Definitelly males. Never liked females in the fighting games. They're ok for Survival Horor, especially Heather in Silent Hill 3, and Jill Valentine in the Resident Evil series, but as far as fighting games go, I'd always rather pick a male, than a female. They have better special moves, better combos, etc. I just feel like they don't do as much work on female fighters as they do on males. Plus I remember playing Mortal Kombat II on Genesis, Mileena always used to kick the living **** out of me if she was high on the ladder, they made it impossible to beat her from the first try, so she always broke my streak. Perhaps I have some hate growing inside of me because of that, hahaha. :D

I for one don't like it because it feels like a cheap way to sell. Remember this was even a selling point of games like Dead or Alive. That's insulting to both genders. In interest of staying on topic: I choose male characters as I prefer the slow and strong fighting styles that are usually exclusive to them.

Being a female, I usually choose female characters.

They're usually quicker, have more unique fighting styles and have the best character designs (excluding that crappy Boobs or Alive series).

Lets see...off the top of my head - Ryu and Sagat for Street Fighter games, Andy and Mai for King of Fighters games, Mileena and Skarlet for Mortal Kombat games, Seung Mina for Soul Calibur games, Morrigan and Iron Man for Marvel vs Capcom games, and Nina Williams and Kazuya for Tekken games. Wow! That was close....so I would say female. :D

Females, mostly. A lot of times they're the fast characters or the zoning characters (hooray gender roles in video games), which is what I usually like to do. Sometimes I'll try to work for a character if I like the character enough, but most of the time I want the character to work for me, and the kind of gameplan I like to play is usually best played by female characters.

Females. but for me, it has actually less to do about them being female and more about their fighting style.

Usually the women are faster and more agile, so that is what I prefer.

I play males more since I suck at using female characters. If I could I would use Chun Li, Rose, Asuka, Julia Chang and more but as stated I suck at using most of them.

Usually choose male fighters, but depends on their fighting style.
