Cervantes is my 2nd favorite. He has awesome moves! But, I can still beat my brother with Raphael. Finally, a game I'm better than him at!

I use Raphael and the ninja chick, I forgot her name.
I used to play it every weekend until I got Soul Calibur 4 for my 360. That game is just as good as SC2 if not better. Now I use Amy, Raphael's kid.

Oh and the GC version is the best in my honest opinion.

It is one hell of game Asteroths my charter of choice, it is better than Melee IMO and a worthy follow up too the 1st game - which is great also.
