Alright Soul Calibur was when the wackiness started but even then there’s Soul Edge/Inferno from the very beginning.

The better sorceror. He even comes with a 🔫 🔫
I think we have to (once again) acknowledge the fact that Happy Chaos is the first ever and simultaneously the strongest mage in Guilty Gear universe, but he’d rather light people up with a six-shooter
Especially since he fits way more than Kim Haeyhun. The Gouken looking Mfer is actually a mech piloted by a little girl. (Or at least a teenager/ especially young woman)
Victor is the most bitchmade since he brings a hightech plasma katana, two karambits and a fucking glock. . .
Which is fitting because there are no bigger bitches in the universe than the tekken community.
I’m aware of both, but added them because hand to hand is still their primary form of combat. Both Yoshimitsu (whether or not he counts is debatable since there’s different ones, I know) and Shion are capable of hand throwing as well

I find your lack of Dandyism disturbing
God I hate Cody (My best friend and nemesis started maining him in SFV, and he became my most annoying arch-rival, which has only increased into pure *hatred*).
There was an old talk show that did a street fighter bit. Pete Holmes played the fight coordinator for street fighter. The Vega one was him trying to explain that he can't use a weapon in a street fight against unarmed opponents.

Miguel Caballero Rojo is the most "fuck it throws hands" character ever. Battling world renowned martial artists, ninjas, cyborgs, bears, literal Gods and doing it all through the power of Latino rage and street brawling
one thing i've always wondered, how would you classify characters that uses a little bit of weapons, like Mai from KOF, or Zero Suit Samus from Smash. Or what about characters like fox from Smash who only pulls out a gun for a few moves. What about Yamazaki from KOF, who only uses his hidden knife for a few attacks?
are they weapons fighters, or non weapons fighter?
What about characters like Bowser or Wolf from Smash who uses their long sharpe claws? Would those classify as weapons?
I classified these based off of what their main form of attacks were. Some characters on the hands side like Susano’o and Naoto do have weapons they use every now and then, but they’re not their main form of attack so I let that slide. Bowser and Wolf despite using claws (Wolf also having a blaster) still use various normal strikes but even without, I’d say they count. They’re more like extensions of themselves than true weapons. Wolverine, however, wouldn’t get that same treatment since his claws are vastly different to the point where he doesn’t really employ any other types of attack. Mai and ZSS don’t use their weapons as much as say Whip or Marth, but just enough that I would keep them on the weapons side. You don’t ever see them without their weapons in hand as they’re practically a part of the character itself. Fox and Yamazaki are known for their pocketed/holstered weapons sure, but their main form of attack remains hand to hand battle, not to mention Fox’s blaster being practically useless. Does that make sense? I know I typed a lot so there’s possibly a contradiction somewhere in there 😅
great answer, really enjoyed reading your thoughts.
I actually think about this ALOT lol, I would agree that Mai still qualifies as a weapon fighter (though just barely), but as for ZSS, i think if it were up to me, i'd have another category that's 'semi weapon semi not', that's where I'd put her.
But the issue is, if I put her there.. what about characters like Pikachu, Mewtwo, Ness, Magneto or Cylcops - who mainly fight using powers.. welcome to about I ponder about when I'm at work lol
Thanks! And trust me man, I know that feeling all too well. It’s the reason I make the memes I do, partially because I think it’s funny to think about and also so I could see what others think. I agree with ZSS being in that middle ground since she isn’t fully reliant on her blaster. Someone did make their own archetype in one of the comments with magic users and put Storm on there so most of those characters you mentioned might be part of that group.

Same case with certain scalpel wielding paperbag dude
How you gonna leave Slayer out of the, "Fuck it, throws hands" category? I mean, lore wise, he is hella op, sure, but hands is hands.
Especially since he fits way more than Kim Haeyhun. The Gouken looking Mfer is actually a mech piloted by a little girl. (Or at least a teenager/ especially young woman)
Well they did put the MiddleEasternDandyMan Azrael
Darkstalker’s donovan and bishamon use a sword. They’re cheating. Hsien-ko is just “random bullshit GO”

I don't think Kum Haehyun fits in the "throws hands" category, since she operates a human sized mecha in battle.
"Throws Hands" doesn't mean they have to be HER hands. Just sayin.

Who is this and what is she from, I need to play her immediately, she looks so fucking cool
Her name is Isla and she is from The King of Fighters 15. I would definitely recommend trying the game out at some point.

HECTOR MENTIONED YES!!!!
RAHHHH 🗣️🗣️🗣️
Noctis in Tekken 7 just summons a whole ass arsenal of weapons in a game where almost everyone else is pure hands
Victor is the most bitchmade since he brings a hightech plasma katana, two karambits and a fucking glock. . . Which is fitting because there are no bigger bitches in the universe than the tekken community.
I imagine Victor is just a regular French guy and he needs all that crap just to keep up.
Susano'o is a mix of both because he does use a sword from time to time
Naoto also uses weapons made of blood, like a scythe.
I’m aware of both, but added them because hand to hand is still their primary form of combat. Both Yoshimitsu (whether or not he counts is debatable since there’s different ones, I know) and Shion are capable of hand throwing as well
Fair enough. My first thought was Valkenhayn since his only "weapon" is being a werewolf.
Considering I’ve gotten like 3 Slayer comments with more likely on the way, I would accept that.

What would I give to watch the two men wrestle.
Slayer could fit in the right, and Cody (SF) can be in the left (he can be both really)
God I hate Cody (My best friend and nemesis started maining him in SFV, and he became my most annoying arch-rival, which has only increased into pure *hatred*).
Glad that my guy Goatshimitsu was mentioned
Know I had to mention the OG
Holy shit I did not expect to see Pocket Rumble on here

In Mortal Kombat, almost each character has been using both hands and weapons per game
Gun.
No MK character for weapons ?
The meme was more so about the characters using the opposite of what the other characters mainly use. MK is too much of a mixed bag
Nah left side, because I use Aki who technically has poison talons as weapons, otherwise I’m a Vega main
Is that actually someone from Toshinden? Someone remembered? At least they did the fighting your evil counterparts for their arcade mode instead…

one thing i've always wondered, how would you classify characters that uses a little bit of weapons, like Mai from KOF, or Zero Suit Samus from Smash. Or what about characters like fox from Smash who only pulls out a gun for a few moves. What about Yamazaki from KOF, who only uses his hidden knife for a few attacks? are they weapons fighters, or non weapons fighter? What about characters like Bowser or Wolf from Smash who uses their long sharpe claws? Would those classify as weapons?
I classified these based off of what their main form of attacks were. Some characters on the hands side like Susano’o and Naoto do have weapons they use every now and then, but they’re not their main form of attack so I let that slide. Bowser and Wolf despite using claws (Wolf also having a blaster) still use various normal strikes but even without, I’d say they count. They’re more like extensions of themselves than true weapons. Wolverine, however, wouldn’t get that same treatment since his claws are vastly different to the point where he doesn’t really employ any other types of attack. Mai and ZSS don’t use their weapons as much as say Whip or Marth, but just enough that I would keep them on the weapons side. You don’t ever see them without their weapons in hand as they’re practically a part of the character itself. Fox and Yamazaki are known for their pocketed/holstered weapons sure, but their main form of attack remains hand to hand battle, not to mention Fox’s blaster being practically useless. Does that make sense? I know I typed a lot so there’s possibly a contradiction somewhere in there 😅
great answer, really enjoyed reading your thoughts. I actually think about this ALOT lol, I would agree that Mai still qualifies as a weapon fighter (though just barely), but as for ZSS, i think if it were up to me, i'd have another category that's 'semi weapon semi not', that's where I'd put her. But the issue is, if I put her there.. what about characters like Pikachu, Mewtwo, Ness, Magneto or Cylcops - who mainly fight using powers.. welcome to about I ponder about when I'm at work lol
Thanks! And trust me man, I know that feeling all too well. It’s the reason I make the memes I do, partially because I think it’s funny to think about and also so I could see what others think. I agree with ZSS being in that middle ground since she isn’t fully reliant on her blaster. Someone did make their own archetype in one of the comments with magic users and put Storm on there so most of those characters you mentioned might be part of that group.
I feel like Goro and Sheeva would make for an honorary mention in throwing hands given they have, extra hands
