In this topic, you get to rank NMs in terms of how cool they look. You can make up your own way of classification, but I'll use this way of ranking:

Badass Tier
Awesome Tier
Cool Tier
Okay Tier
Meh Tier
Lame Tier

Here's my tier list:


Badass Tier

Maxima
Iori
Ralf
EX Kyo
EX Iori
Saiki



Awesome Tier

Kyo
Athena
Elisabeth
Duo Lon
Hwa Jai
Joe



Cool Tier

Mature
Vice
Ryo
Daimon
Benimaru
Ash



Okay Tier

Takuma
Leona
Mr. Karate
Clark
Kensou
Shen



Meh Tier

Mai
Kim
K'
Terry
Yuri
Billy



Lame Tier

Andy
Kula
Robert
Raiden
Chin
King



If you want explanations as to why I placed which NM where, I'll be happy to give you my opinion.

Love EX Iori's for the awesome laugh <3

I personally think Mai, Iori, Saiki, Athena, Kula and Mr. Karate have the best looking Neo Maxes.

Mai (Full screen dive attack that has her flying all over the screen, forming the kanji for 'woman', then huge explosion while she poses. Coolness Factor comes from the posing while in front of an explosion.)

Iori (Gigantic slash with an inhuman grunt. Coolness Factor comes from the red-on-black, which visually implies there being large quantities of blood being shed.)

Saiki (Turn into the boss and perform a massive attack that blackens the entire screen, then turn back. Coolness Factor comes from becoming the freaking boss as well as the transition that takes place when Boss Saiki reverts back to Human Saiki while the black goo washes away from the screen.)

Athena (All the versions of Athena attack. Coolness comes from nostalgia.)

Kula (Both of Kula's 'big sisters' attack the opponent, setting up for her to unleash a mass wave of ice. Coolness comes from the suspension of the opponent in mid-air - the pause that separates Diana & Foxy's attack from Kula's helps build some suspension.)

Mr. Karate (A quick punch followed by a ghostly image and eerie feudal Japanese music before a powerful final smash. Again, the pause between attacks builds suspense.)


Robert, Raiden and Duo Lon's NeoMaxes are the most ridiculous/out of place to me.

Robert (The powerful air-to-ground kick + explosion were good... however, the 'surfing' he performs afterwards is very out of place and just ridiculous.)

Raiden (The powerful haymaker was good... however, the amount of times the opponent spins in mid-air would be ridiculous enough even if it weren't animated so strangely.)

Duo Lon (A bunch of spirits pop out of the ground... there's really no indication that these spirits are actually attacking the opponent aside from the hitsparks. There's just no "Ouch" factor at all.)

Most of the rest are fairly typical and don't really do anything for me. I certainly understand Kyo's, Terry's, Andy's, Maxima's, but they are just too straight-forward to leave any lasting impact.

SSS: Ichigeki (Ryo) LARIATOOOOOOOO (Raiden)
SS: Goro
S: Leona, Andy, Iori, Shen, Duo Lon
A: Mature, Vice, Clark
B: The rest

Ichigeki is so simple yet precise, raiden bomber is cool to see, Goro Earthquake is awesome. the rest of the neomax are almost all the same, a big explosion which will destroy the world and that's it, but I put some of them for coolnes in the S and A tiers

Let's see

S: Ryo, Iori, Andy, Kim, Athena, Robert, Kula, Elizabeth

A: Kyo, Mai, Mature, Terry, Joe, EX Kyo, EX Iori, Mr. Karate, Hwa Jai, Billy, Maxima, K', Ralf

B: Raiden, Clark, Leona, Kensou, King, Duo Lon, Daimon, Vice

C: Yuri, Takuma, Saiki, Ash, Shen, Benimaru, Chin

SS: Beni, Ryo, Takuma, Leona, Ralf
Beni for the Kimanatan ... RAIKOKEN
Ryo ... no comment
Takuma because each time i'm screwed up by the guard change twist and I east it when he lands.
Leona for the Sayonara
Ralf because gear 2 > *

S: Hwa (Drunk), Kim, Iori, Goro
Hwa for the tongue dance
Kim because often some opponent say "few it won't kill" before the last hit and I answer "it will" like a boss when it land hahahahah
Iori because with the SDM before you have the impression the nm does like 500dmg after reduction
Goro ... Goro

A: The rest
B: Hwa far animation, kyo, yuri

I think a poll is needed lol

Yeah, poll's needed! =D

GodTier: Ralf & Goro  def.! lol
S: Clarck, Elisabeth, Takuma, Kyo, Terry, Maxima, Robert, Iori
A: Mai, Athena, Leona, Hwa, Kim, Benimaru, Joe
B: King, Yuri, Ryo, Shen, DuoLon, Andy, Chin, Saiki, EX-Iori
C: Rest

You guys want a poll?

That's gonna be one big-ass poll, then!

Yeah nice. Would be about the same size as on the 50% thread I'd imagine.

Heh, ttytt, was going to start a thread on this topic some time ago (and then forgetting to do that took over)... thanks for doing it man.

How do I add poll? =/

Do you see 'Add Poll' at the very bottom of the page?

Should work for you.

Let us know if that's not the case.

Poll added.

Start voting!

I don't know, but only 1 vote per member is not enough, specially with 30+ options to choose from.

Yeah let's make that sucker at least 3

But guys...

The question clearly states which is your one fave NM? Thus only giving you guys one vote.

I would've made it three too. Too many great-looking NM's to choose from.

Glad to see that this forum appreciates a good ol' ichigeki

It's not often a move looks that cool and saves a match for you (for Ryo players anyway)

my top 3 would be mai , iori , elisabeth. not sure which one is my favorite.

Kinda hard to pick, but I have to say that Joe's looks the coolest.

I mean, he punches you with a goddamn horizontal tornado! On fire!

I like Robert's NM just because I see a little bit of Muscle Inferno (Kinnikuman: Scamble for the Throne) in it.

OK, fine. I'll make it so you can choose three options.

The question is... how do I do it? I went to "edit poll" and I didn't see an option that let me change the poll in that way.

Poll Options: 1 Maximum votes per user.

^change this to 3

Allow user to change vote.    < Check this box

thx

I'm not getting those options... =/

OK, have updated it.

Anyone who wants to recast their votes needs to click 'Remove Vote' up top on the poll which will take you to the voting dialog.

Wait... I'm not sure what's going on.

Shouldn't I just remake the whole poll instead? That would make things less confusing.

up to you buckeroo

OK, so I reset the poll, and it automatically let people pick up to 3 choices.

So vote away, my children!

(I apologize to those that had already voted)

Voted to Ralf, Goro and Clark!
But sad, cant vote also for Robert! :(   I like so much his NM too!

Edit:
And, like someone said before: Leona, mainly because his "SAYONARA"... lol

Very old topic, I know :P


My favourite NM are Mai (ok, i'm fan of her, so probably i'm not being objective, but i really think her NM is cool. simple but spectacular. that kanji means "woman" but can be divided into three kanjis which mean "kunoichi". And her classic niponichi pose is an epic win for those who have grown up with Fatal fury 2), Andy (so spectacular. fast and elegant, it always shock me when I see it), Mature (her pose while showing her orochi eye is one of the most cool poses in the game, her voice, her laugh, the serpent tail. I think is beatiful and fits very well with Mature)

Kim's Neomax is so epic! I think he has one of the most flashiest Neomax's in the game. It looks like something pulled right off of Dragon Ball Z or something lol

If it were right out of DBZ, it wouldn't be so one-sided. Both players would be locked in intense combat switching blows at intense speeds. =P
