Equivalents in other games of the genre

[VIDA]

This idea sprung up initially because (a) Im looking to maybe get at least somewhat seriously into a couple other games of the genre and (b) I wanted to see what chars would be the best to transition to from my main Kitana, alt Ermac, and backup skarlet.

Then I realized I could just make an identical thread for all the character forums so that ppl could chime in on which chars are similar to play as in other games (or are "parallels")compared to a certain char and what not.

So this is for the sake of advice to those transitioning from the char to another game, and for the sake of just sparking some hopefully interesting discussion on character likenesses across different titles.

Just to clarify, an example might be: Sheeva is to MK what Tager is BBCS2, or ZZangief in SF...etc and then of course expand on why you think so.

Obviously whatever character forum this thread is in will be the character being likened/compared to others from other games.

Discuss.

You lost me I'm afraid. In what way is Sheeva anything at all like Tager or Zangief? Tager is about frame traps and extensive range, which Sheeva doesn't have. Zangief is about pokes, scoring knockdowns, and tick throwing, which Sheeva doesn't do. Both of them are traditional grapplers, which Sheeva is not.

"Big character who might throw you" is not a play style imho.
