In which we discuss our favorite character selections from the classic games of yore.

I went with Luigi about 90% of the time in SMB2. His great leaping ability being his greatest trait, could also make him difficult to control for the novice player (I was no novice). To me, the choice of Luigi was always a no-brainer.

I played as Luigi or Princess Toadstool. Mostly, I just liked that they both did weird things. I liked Luigi's little kicks, and I liked that you only ever saw Princess Toadstool's feet when she jumped. Playing as Luigi was the closest you could come to having a "hard" setting. It made every level feel a little like an ice level. Playing as Princess Toadstool made you feel something like a demigod. A slow-moving, low-jumping demigod.

Barely played it. Now, Street Fighter II and Tekken....

I'm still waiting for the Virtua Fighter/Tekken crossover.
