I'm sure most of you are familiar with Tekken, arguably the most famous 3D fighting series out there. It was first introduced to us back in 1995 however it's still going strong today. Its diverse characters can perform a LOT of moves, most of them realistic but flashy, and each has at least 5 grab sequences (two from the front, one from each side, one from the back).
...Which is a good indicator about just how great ryona can be found in these games. There are quite a lot female characters in Tekken, and they should cover just about all tastes. You have the femme fatale assassin Nina, her seductive sister Anna (the two of them are ALWAYS fighting each other, can you say "catfight"?) , the tomboyish Asuka, the innocent-looking native American Julia, the latino capoeira-girl with a body to die for Christie and several more of them (including an android in Tekken 6) waiting at your command. They each have 2-5 costumes, and it doesn't hurt that you can customise their looks in T5 and T6 either!
As for the moves you will see in these games, well you're in for some treat! There's something for everyone here! First off, Tekken is well-known for its abundance of attacks per character, so you'll never be bored, there will always be a new move for you to marvel at. And the grabs in these game are just AWESOME. You will find simple takedowns and throws, you will find devastating powerbombs, you will find an abundance of bone-cracking grabs, you will find submission-type moves like Bearhugs and Figure-Four Leglocks, and you will find some innovative grabs that are pure pain, like Anna smashing her opponent's neck on each side with her elbow and knee simultaneously! And then there's the characters with chain-grabs that will continue dishing out pain long after they have started with one painful move after another! Yup, the grabs in these games are pure bliss!
Those ryona moves aren't restricted to a few characters, almost all of them have good ryona material, no matter if you're a fem/fem fan or a mixed fight fan. Not to mention there's also the odd fighters like Roger the kangaroo, Alex the (small) dinosaur, Kuma the (big) bear, and the demon bosses. Like I said, something for everyone!
Bottom line is, if you haven't played any Tekken games until now... do so!
You can view some ryona footage in Randomguy's videos thread.
