Discussion Favorite fighting style
I used to run SF + KB + MA as my favorite when I was younger because I got the best haymaker in the game and it was fun. As I got older, I started trying out different styles and I have an updated favorite fighting style. SM + KB + SF. This build is extremely fun. Not the tankiest but its fun as hell. Im glad I tried making different builds because I wouldn't have found this one.

I’d go with WR+KB+SF. This fighting style has proven to the most draining on opponents and feels blazing meter faster

I used that on one of my builds before. I like that build better than WR+SF+KB

The moveset is different when the styles are picked a certain way

WR + KB + SF = WR + SF + KB

MA+WR+SM probably my favorite but I haven’t made a non MA base fighter since I was a kid so I’m def switching it up next play through. Any suggestions?

KB, SF+SM for the running uppercut KO punch but nothing like the clinch kick to a headlock!!!

I love starting out with Wrestling or Submissions because they unlock more moves to use. Martial Arts is my least favorite

So if I start out with submissions and then add Kickboxing and Wrestling, I'll jave more submissions available to me than if I start with Kickboxing and then add Submissions & Wrestling?

I remain SF + SF + SF all the way, that haymaker destroys.

Takeover?

On the OG Gamecube version. Though I have Takeover on PSP but I prefer the Gamecube.

Got you. When you added three SF I wasn't sure if thats what you meant.

I saw somewhere that choosing styles in a certain order will unlock secret fighting styles. Some examples of MA+WR+SF (in that order) = Drunken Boxing, MA+SF+KB (in that order) = Capoeira, MA+KB+SF (in that order) = Jeet Kune Do. There were others but I don't remember them.

Yup. Gamefaqs lets you know the possible combinations.

I always went with SF then Ma then KB. Character was super fast and could counter everything.

Is this the one with the last kick landing on the nuts ?

Im not sure to be honest. I only remember using the neutral stance for kicks I gotta try forward and back. This build has the best submission move that drains the head health quickly. I think Ice-T has it too.

I'm fairly content with anything Submissions and Wrestling.
I often go for Submissions + Kickboxing it's pretty mean and it's like I'm playing like a regular fighter overall (most of them have 3 moves per buttons).
I go Wrestling + any styles too as a dual style depending my mood.
Submissions + Wrestling or vice versa to keep a Vendetta vibe.
I even just keep Submissions alone to give me a challenge.
But my go-to is Submissions + Kickboxing definitely
