I know some of you don't know much about a lot of these characters so I've decided to create a thread dedicated to character pictures and/or information. If anyone has any questions, just post in this thread and I'll do my best.
Since the Mario vs. Mega Man X battle is nearly over, I'm starting this with Rikimaru vs. Solid Snake and will continue to add them in order of the battles.
Best picture I could find of Rikimaru, though if you want information about him try
www.tenchu.de they have a lot of fanfic stuff that probably tells you more about the storyline that I can.
VS.
Solid Snake, you all know him, you all love him. But here's a picture anyway:
I'm going to keep adding posts for each matchup as I find good pictures of the characters, look back here later for updates.
