Title: Mystery avataars
Post by: JoyMonkey on November 09, 2004, 12:04:25 pm
I've seen a few people that use this avataar here:
(http://perso.wanadoo.es/hiryu/index_fotos/hiryu65.jpg)
but for the life of me, I can't tell what the hell it is. I can't make out any kind of character or solid shapes in there.
Does anyone know what it is?

I don't know what character it is, but it is a guy looking to the right, he has a redish/maroom scarf over most of his face, you see his eye and ear.

EDIT:  Looks like menace beat me to it.

Probably something from either a capcom fighting game, or one of those Mobile Monkey Suit Gundam Wing Rage Force-X cartoons.

Ah! There he is! Still took me a minute of staring at it to see the guy. For a long time I thought it was a rendering of Venom from Spiderman with his mouth open. Duh me!  :P

The picture is named hiryu65.jpg. This is Strider Hiryu from Marvel Vs. Capcom and also his own game Strider. On the Genesis there were at least 3 Strider games.

Strider Hiryu was in...

Strider (lots of platforms, first 8-Meg home game on Genesis)
Journey From Darkness - Strider Returns/Strider II (Gen, GG, by US Gold, not Capcom, therefore it sucked.)
Street Fighter Alpha 2/SFA2Gold (Arc, PSX, SNES, Sat, cameo in Ken's background.)
Marvel vs. Capcom - Clash of Super Heroes (Arc, DC, PSX)
Strider 2 (Arc, PSX)
and
Marvel vs. Capcom 2/MVC2EO (Arc, DC, PS2, XBOX)

I found the culprit in this thread (http://www.arcadecontrols.org/yabbse/index.php?board=13;action=display;threadid=27003). He has a really nice Centipede inspired CPO, take a look here (http://perso.wanadoo.es/hiryu)

Yeah, that one stumps me as well.  I always figured he just opened up MS Paint one day, grabbed a random tool and color, and with one stroke of the mouse, had an avatar.   ;)
