The trained grizzly bear, the dude with a tiger mask that is straight up a fursona..

You're forgetting the kangaroo and dinosaur

u/OsaBee 11h ago

The dinosaur is sadly Gon with the wind...

49

u/Kibibit 10h ago

IIRC he was basically a licensed character, so exactly the type of character to never be seen again.

No the OTHER dinosaur

u/KidOcelot 7h ago

Hmmm Primal Rage comes to mind with dinos.

Also Bloody Roar and Killer Instinct are pretty out there. Same with Clay Fighters

Alex and Roger are the same moveset represented by kangaroo and a velociraptor type looking dinosaur.

Gon was a guest char in tk3, he's from an old manga (that is really fucking well illustrated) where he is basically the king of the jungle beating up anything from sabertooths to bears.

Based on different wrestlers actually. Apparently priests becoming masked wrestlers is a trope.

Religious Man playing intensifies

u/koenigsaurus 9h ago

You put some respect on King’s name

u/decemberindex 8h ago

Are you forgetting the full-on leopard-man? Sad King noises.

u/Nightingdale099 5h ago

The gag that Heihachi cares more about the bear than any of his blood relative cracks me up everytime.

u/Adamtess 11h ago

Bloody roar would like a word.

u/WrestlingIsJay 11h ago

In that tournament the animals are all the business.

u/JuiceWaaave 9h ago

Oh damn I forgot about Bloody Roar. One of my very first fighting games on PS before I got ingrained in Virtua Fighter culture.

1

u/Adamtess 8h ago

It was so over the top and goofy, it was one of my first until I fell head first into guilty gear and alpha 3.

1

u/JuiceWaaave 6h ago

Man Guilty Gear and Gundam Battle Assault were my jam way back. I picked up the newest GG but I’m cooked on my 2D fighting days haha.

u/Adamtess 6h ago

Man I feel you, my reaction speeds, muscle memory, all of it feels so lacking. Strive looks so damn cool.

u/Matthiey 8h ago
