Well I'm seeing this thing is being done everywhere I thought 'why don't I do one aswell' and, well, here it is my influence map.

As you can see I've been influenced by a LOT of things ranging from individual characters, games, anime, manga and movies etc, etc.

Influences are in no particular order, but I'll explain in order.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

> ---Sol-Badguy--- All those that familiar with the Guilty Gear series instantly know Sol is a badass who is voiced by a badass voice-actor, who is also the badass who invented GG...the one the only Ishiwatari Daisuke. He is also my sub-main in AC+
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

> ---Ragna the Bloodedge--- Obviously the BlazBlue version of Sol-Badguy from GG. With cool moves and an awesome drive ability to boot its no wonder I find this guy so awesome, and for the few that know me, they know how much I like this guy. He is my Main in BB.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

> ---Hazama/Terumi Yuuki--- hohoho it is none other than the god of Trolls in BB. seriously this is freaking awesome gameplay-wise and personality-wise, this guy makes serious fun of people...for a joke XD everything he does, he does for joke. I absolutley love his drive, Ouroboros, whch lets him attack and zip across the stage. I've labled him my sub-main because don't have one yet, but as soon as CS some out in Oct, hell will break loose.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

> ---Zero (Megaman X series)--- take just one look at him and you know instantly that he's awesome. I've admired and held Zero in high regard ever since Megaman X4, although I have to say his X8 incarnation was the best one yet, what's even better is that he's in Tatsunoko vs Capcom, and he's pure awesome as always.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

> ---Eko Houshunin--- I've watched the Karas series and to be honest I absolutely loved Eko and his Karas form, I prefer Eko's bulky Samurai-esqe design as opposed to Otoha's Slim ninja design, although I did like Otoha's Special attacks: the 'Counter Attack' and the 'Karas Crow' but I think Eko's attack's such as the double spinning sword attack and the fatal slash that de does on the Karas before Otoha was awesome.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

> ---Nightmare--- This guy is just the absolute best, rivaled only by a select few in terms of awesomeness and insanity. His Soul Calibur 2 incarnation was probably his best one. My main in the SC series.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

> ---Strider Hiryu--- Hiryu is THE best ninja design this world has ever been graced with, perhaps Karas should have taken down some notes XD. I loved Strider 2 and the fact that he's in Marvel vs Capcom. truly brilliant and my main in MvC (can't wait to see him in MvC3).
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

> ---Order-Sol--- The past version of Sol-Badguy and if I were to be honest I like Order-Sol much better, thats why he's my main in the GG series, the charge gauge makes things interesting and different with Order-Sol and I like that fact. LOL looking how things now most of my mains and sub-main's are powerful rush-down characters.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

> ---Riot of the Blood Iori--- I'd say Orochi Iori but 's gonna give me a lecture...again XD. I never was a fan of KOF but even I have to admit Iori is badass. He's one of the few that actually Rival Nightmare on terms of coolness and insanity and thats why I like this guy also his Blue Flames just look plain beast.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

> ---Sasori--- as freaky as he is, creating human puppets and turning himself into a human puppet through a rather grisly process, I actually liked Sasori not many can see the insanity that lies deep within him...in fact Sasori was probably my favourite character in Naruto.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

> ---Sophitia--- Well from time to time its good to break away from the insanity and to sometimes enjoy whats good. And what I like about Sophitia is that she's such a sweet heart X3 (yes, the insane freak here has feelings you know) she may not be powerful or be able to apply rush-down tactics but sometimes I do opt for speed, thats why she's my sub-main in the SC series.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

> ---Kasumi--- Another sweet heart, just can't help but adore the fact she cares about everyone and she's willing to put her life at risk and break the rules to help them out X3.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

> ---Vergil--- Ok time to break away from the sweet-heartedness. Vergil has always been one of the top badasses in my book, he has a calm and cool personality and literally everthing he does just drips with style, when your playing as him in the special edition of DMC3, weather he kills someone, insults them, taunts them and even when he falls off the cliff and rushes to fight mundus at the end, all of it is just cool, even his weapon (an O'katana) is cool with an equally cool name 'Yamato', how he wields is it is even cool, his signature attack 'Judgement cut' is the coolest attack I've seen in years.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

> ---Yuki Shihoudou--- this is one of the more lesser known franchises, G-taste. Before you ask 'what is G-taste?' its a hentai manga. Now I don't understand what goes on in the series but the pages and and the detail in the artwork of the Manga is just outstanding, every page is outstanding maybe if you look it up (when your parents aren't around XD) and read some of it maybe you'll see what I mean...other than that , I find Yuki to be the most attractive of the girls in G-taste. I even own a resin figure of her, and its the one I've used in this Influence map.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

> ---Grimmjow Jeagerjaques--- my...absolute...favourite...character...in Bleach and by now you should know why...he's f***ing Psychotic with an awesome Psychotic laugh... I love how he beats the shit out of Ichigo and then rapidly punches him up.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

.............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Moving on to various anime, manga, films and games.

Ever since my friend suggested I watch this I've completely become obsessed with watching and reading it. There quite a few characters I like...and most of them are the bad guys XD.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

possibly the best game in the DMC series, I mean the entire franchise was good, including the anime (I own the DVD set) DMC3 was the best, good graphics (at the time) fast and stylish gameplay, easy-and-simple-to-learn controls, cool characters, insane boss fights, killer soundtracks, what more could you ask from a game.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

I've been a fan of the X series ever since I was a little boy, but I have to say X8 was probably the greatest of them (now I'm gonna get lecturing me about X7 XD) I mean this was Zero's Greatest incarnation yet. X8 had some interesting game mechanics e.g. the Team-up attack, being able to switch to your sub-character at will or if your main character dies.
The boss fights and the levels themselves were awesome and each one was different and offers something new, such as Dark Mantis's stage where everything is dark so you have to be carefull not to alert the guards, then there's Burn Rooster's stage where you have to make your way down a volcano and then back up before the lava gets you, there's even a gravity stage where you press certain buttons the alter the state of the level, turning it either 90 or 180 degrees clock-wise.
I'm definatley gonna miss the X series T_T.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

both fims were great the only downfall is trying to keep up with the story, This films blends 2D and 3D so smoothly and the action scenes are awesome, including the theme song.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

huhu I used to enjoy watching the Jason X films, we all agree that this guy is an absolute badass with his Machete and Trademark Hockey mask. plus the Revenge theme never gets old.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

everyone can agree that this was a bloody great film, obviously I wasn't around at that time, but I managed to watch it on Video-Tape and I enjoyed it so much Arnie was hip and cool back in them days, there was one thing that had me laughing hard and that was the part when Arnie says 'FHAK YEW AHSSHAWL!!!'.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

This was probably one of THE greatest films of all time. Arnie comes back as the good guy, I loved it so much that watched it at least 13 times. My favourite scene is when he busts out the mini-gun [link] and before I forget 'AHLL BE BHACK!!!'.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Well this is kind of the biggest thing right now for me, I've become so obsessed with BlazBlue that I can't stop playing it, the story itself is great...and confusing what with the time-loops, continuum shifts etc etc. But if anything I enjoy beating the shit out of Tager XD
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

this was an awesome game, the game that inspired BB, I will always love this game for its fast paced gamplay and unique anime style graphics.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

I bet there isn't one person who hasn't seen or heard of DBZ. at the time this was the most popular thing in the world, BEST CHARACTER IS VEGETA HANDS DOWN!!!
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

I've been a fan of the soul series ever since it first came out, and I've playing it ever since this is one of the most unique games, introducing the 8-way run (moving around freely) was genius, but I do think SC2 was the best one.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

ahh yugioh, the good old days when I used to play and I actually quite good at it, I loved Yugioh so much it sparked up an uncontrollable obsession, yeah I was a nerd at the time.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

this anime and manga was just plain awesome the story was good the gore was...graphic and the insanity the took hold of each character driving them to psychosis...most notably Shion due to the fact she kills everyone, including herself and because of her awesome psycho laugh was the best part in the anime
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

And Last but certainly by no means least, Crisis Core: Final Fantasy 7, The prequel to everything that takes place in FF7, I enjoyed this game so much and what more is that I really liked Zack, I cried when he died at the end, fucking Cloud you bastard if it wasn't for you Zack may still be alive, more importantly I wanted to see how Zack and Aerith's relationship would've turned out. ahh well R.I.P Zack Fair, we'll never forget you.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

And that should just about wrap things up, if theres anything you wanna ask, just ask I'll be more than happy to answer if I can.
