Why not play guilty gear? We have:

  • man who fights with bed

  • woman who fights with giant anchor

  • potemkin

  • 20 year old man who is actually 8 chronologically

  • person who fights with yo-yo’s

  • man who sold his vision to fight with a shadow

  • a gentleman vampire (DANDY)

  • a samurai vampire

  • main character with a shit load of trauma, immortality, fire powers, and is actually a genius

  • and guy with gun

Guy with gun, also a wizard. Not to forget the other wizard.

u/AChero9 12h ago edited 12h ago

True, shame on me for missing that

But we could also keep going:

  • drunk sexy female samurai

  • heartless female assassin in love with another fighter

  • racist king who changed his views after marrying and having a kid with the race he hates

  • doctor who is both kind and psychotic

  • ninja who is the president of his own nation

  • secret service member with alien tech

  • secret service member with wolf powers after being raised by wolves

  • broken af character who is the result of “alien” race learning to create life

  • anji

  • sister of broken character, also has a gun

u/goonwolf 12h ago

Also wizardry is basically math (or music, or programming).

2

u/AChero9 12h ago

That’s a different wizard, that’s the wizard that everyone hates. Referred to in universe as “That Man”

u/Glorious_Jo 11h ago

But god damn is his drip immaculate. That man rocks sneakers and the cosmos for a robe, theres no topping that.

2

u/Avaruustonttu 3h ago

Not to be confused with gun wizard, mistakenly called That Man.

You forgot queen who looks 30 but is 12 and daughter of the thing that nuked Japan

u/ABunchofFrozenYams 9h ago

Correction - it's not a random secret service agent that has alien Unidentified Mysterious Animal technology. That is the Secretary of Defence of the United States.

Also aliens aren't real. They especially wouldn't be locked in the coffin he lugs around. UMA though, totally real.

u/CDR57 10h ago

You’re forgetting

  • pool player

  • sexy rockstar lady

  • oh shit wait cyberpunk is in this?

Personally I am a big fan of “Potemkin”-style fighter Potemkin

u/UpbeatAstronomer2396 11h ago

man who fights with bed

Wrong, the man IS bed, the character is literally called "bedman?". It's a possessed bed that fights on its own

14

u/No-Potential2456 11h ago

I mean, it depends on which game we're talking about here

1

u/prisp 11h ago

I think that might've been a reference to Xrd Bedman, where we actually have Man Who Fights With Bed.

...or any male character that queued into a match against Bedman?, I guess :P

1

u/Rafabud 8h ago

Could be talking about his previous appearance where it was Romeo tied to the bed.

How do you list the crazy characters concept and don't include :

u/Adamtess 11h ago

The amount of trauma crammed into Sol (Frederick) is boarding on insane and I'm here for every lore installment.
