What's the one fighting game character you were the most proficient with?

Baiken in GGX2. It got to the point where nobody I knew would even play against me anymore. It's been a steady downhill slide for the last 20 years.
Counting Smash, I won a few locals with Peach in Melee, so that's the most success I saw.
Outside of that, I put a few hundred hours into Talim in Soul Calibur II.

Lol 16 Bit is actually serious. She was a very strong player while it was an active game. She is well known in the community.
My best results were with I-NO in Guilty Gear Rev2.1 and Merkava in UNIST when I played in tournament so I vote them. I feel I'm a strong Crossbone X1 player in the Gundam EXVS series but I haven't played the suit in a competitive setting.
Probably Guile in Street Fighter 2. Others I've been fairly ok with are King in Tekken 3ish, Hakumen in BlazBlue and maybe Mitsurugi in SoulCalibur. I'm a filthy casul when it comes to fighting games though.

I didn't know that, that is legit awesome. But in the true spirit of fighting games I'm gonna go ahead and say my D.Dark will still own her Iori please don't tell her I said that
Ivy in Soul Calibur 2. Probably my "peak." I got friend-circle good with King in Tekken 5, but it wasn't anything great.
Joe in every KOF game (followed closely by Shingo, Clark, Kensou and Kyo).
Mitsurugi (followed by Cassandra, Siegfried and Astaroth) in every Soul Calibur.
Wolverine in (U)MvC3
As notable mentions, I am quite decent with Slayer in GGXrd, Wolf and El Blaze in VF and Nanaya in melty Blood.

Feng Wei in Tekken 5-7 including TTT2.
Easy combos, decent mixups, Godly uf+2, and a hard hitting b1+2 punisher. I've been playing since T3 but Feng really clicked on me.
Also Nightmare from Sc3 onwards. I almost won a local casual tournament for Sc4, and that is even the first time I played Sc4 (most of the moveset is carried from 3).

At the risk of avatar quotes, Gief by a long shot, particularly over the lifespan of SFIV. Got to the point where I just default to the primary grappler in any 2D fighter I play, and just coast off the grappler playbook of it's going to be something I don't play long term enough to really learn.
A group of friend introduced me to Guilty Gear (which one?) in 2006. I play with Sol (not really brave choice...) and it cliqued instantly. I was able to combo pretty easily without searching things on Internet.
Two weeks later, one of their friend came and he was kindda the "boss" of the game. It was funny on that way, like "you beat everyone let me show you". I obliterate him.
Maybe they were all terrible, but that's my answer :D

I like Kitana in MK11, she's the only character I'm half decent with.. I just feel like her normals have no range at all, lol.
I dunno about most proficient since I play lots of different characters in lots of fighting games but the farthest I've ever pushed characters was in Street Fighter x Tekken. I played a team of Hugo & Ogre back then. Got to like top 20ish in the global rankings on PSN and even won an online tournament.
Palutena in Smash 4. She was low tier I think, but I did pretty well with her online on For Glory. Nothing competitive smash level of course but I knew how to play her and condition players into air dodging into my up smash.
Spider-Man in UMvC3. Had a serviceable Hawkeye and X-23 but Parker was the heart. Probably my highest peak.
My Spider-Man/Hawkeye in MvCI was also pretty fucking good but the game's community was quite thin and I got bored of the meta that developed.
Xianghua in SC2 and SC6.
Cammy in SSF4 back when she wasn't just good but pure bullshit lmao. Once TKCS cheese wore off and Marvel was around the corner, decided to switch gears (I'm not blind to the fact that she's been good if not top tier in every game since Vanilla 4 tbh).
Guile in ST and HDR was my jam as well.
My Tink in Smash was OTW but controller drift turned me off that game and system to a high degree.

Mitsurugi in Soul Calibur and Jacky in VF4 Evo. The only times I've ever played fighters and felt relatively competent.
Vega in SFV, first time I really put time in learning a character. About to start the grind to Platinum, end goal is to reach Diamond before SFV dies. Doubt I'll make it but hey, having a goal is a start.

Im no good too but I like a lot of those characters too! Especially Tina in DOA, such a nice moveset.
In my arcade heyday (92-98) I could hang around the cabinets for a good while with only $2 in my pocket if I was rocking Ken/Ryu in any game( not Alpha. )
Kilik in Soul Calibur on Dreamcast, I was handing out work back then.
Fox in Melee (boring I know)
I was pretty average in every other fighting game except Virtua Fighter, I am just not smart enough to get it.

I've always been horrible at fighting games, but the one character I ever seemed to click with was Kim Jae Hoon in Mark of the Wolves.
Since I have a Saturn and a buddy comes at holidays, I've been practicing Ken at SFA2.
