SF2: Chun
SF3: Makoto
SF4: Poison
SF5: Kolin (get it? because….nevermind)
Tekken: Nina
KoF: Vice
Fatal Fury: Blue Mary
Garou: Bonne Jenet
Marvel: Storm (heh its the same joke as befo…)
Darkstalkers: Hsien Ko
SamSho: Nakoruru
DBFZ: Android 18
Mortal Kombat: Frost (okay I swear to God that's the last ti…)
Virtua Fighter: Pai Chan
Soul Calibur: Taki
Skullgirls: Parasoul

SF 4 has Juri too.
I know one for sure!
Gouketsuji Ichizoku series: Angela Belti
She already is the coolest lady in a fighting game
Also, Maki from CvS2 and that one version of Alpha 3 is coooooooool.
And KoF King
You laid down some beautiful groundwork here. A couple of respectfully different takes:
Virtua Fighter: gotta be Vanessa
KOF: is a tough one. Vice is a great pick, but I can also see King, Angel, and Chizuru fitting the bill. Mai might seem easy to dismiss (she'd probably be considered more traditionally "hot" than "cool"), but the fact that she likes heavy metal and has a lot of genuine personality of her own goes a long way. At the end of the day, I'm going with....Chizuru
I'll also add
Guilty Gear: Baiken
Dead Or Alive: Ayane
World Heroes: uh, Ryoko
Fighters' History: uh, also Ryoko
It's me, I am the coolest lady in every game I play.
but what about shermie?
@pasquinelli Yeah, of all of these KOF is the hardest to call by far. Just too many cool ladies.
Just to put it out there once more, all Cool Ladies are equally the Coolest Cool Ladies, and who one may feel personally is the Coolest Cool Lady is an individual, sacred communion between you and the Coolness of Ladies
I always saw Capcom making Chun Li a cop as being more a wink n‘ nudge to the Cops n’ Robbers action films getting pumped out at the time. Especially the stuff coming out of Hong Kong (and was reaching its peak).
Chun Li being a member of Interpol, that is investigating Shadowloo, that happens to be run by the man that killed her father -- is practically a boilerplate synopsis for that genre/time of film.
With that said, I am handing the crown to Makoto.
when i was a kid, i thought vega was a lady. a pretty cool lady if you ask me.
This is more or less what I was assuming, yeah. Who would we be to exclude such characters as portrayed by Michelle Yeoh as not Cool Ladies?
yeah, chun-li kind of reminds me of in the line of duty III with cynthia khan’s cop character :
This is an important thread
My two cents: the coolest lady in Soulcalibur is Seong Mi-na
my definition of cool may not line up with the definition of cool that most classic fighting games were going for
I’m not even completely aware of all the girls in Samurai Shodwon, but,
Nakoruru is super cool
Polearm Cool Ladies are indisputable!!!
it’s nice to have a dedicated reason for thinking about Cool Ladies. usually i think about them just in the abstract.
here are my picks:
- Sakura, Street Fighter Alpha
- Elena, Street Fighter III
- Jill, Marvel vs Capcom 2
- King, King of Fighters (this is insert credit canon)
- Mizuki, Samurai Shodown
- Seong Mina, Soul Calibur
Maybe this is out of line but for Rival Schools I'm going to say Akira is too much, gotta go with Natsu.
