Chef from _South Park_? He stayed dead, right?

Stan: Chef, what's a prostitute?

Chef: Dag-nabbit children! How come every time you come in here you've got to be asking me questions I shouldn't be answering? "Chef, what's a clitoris? What's a lesbian, Chef? How come they call it a rim job, Chef?". For once, can't you kids come in here and say "Hey Chef, nice day isn't it"?

Stan: Hey Chef, nice day isn't it?

Chef: It sure is, thank you.

Yes, the answer was Jerome Nigel McElroy, better known as "Chef", from the cartoon series South Park.

Well done.

LOL.

I remember watching the first season of _South Park_ in college, when various groups of us were huddled around TVs in different rooms with the doors open and you could hear the laughs from the other rooms echoing up and down the halls... RIP, Isaac Hayes.

Game 143 to commence, well, sometime soon.

A logical guess as I believe he would fit all the parameters, apart from technically dying and coming back to life every episode...

But no.

They did apparently finally kill him off permanently at one point (season 5?) So it made sense to me. I haven't watched _South Park_ since, maybe season 2?

Not exactly, no. He was "permanently" killed at the end of Season 5, was absent for most of Season 6, but returned to life in the last episode of Season 6 and has remained a recurring (and usually alive) character since then.

Ah, didn't do my research well enough. No Triangle of Zinthar for me.

Game with some sort of combat mechanics?

ie Street Fighter counts because of the fighting moves but Mario stepping on a Goomba does not

Now that this has been clarified:

No, the main console game(s) featuring this character aren't really about hand-to-hand combat.

Appears in an arcade game?

Assuming you mean specifically a coin-operated arcade game of the type found in amusement arcades rather than a normal person's home, I would say no.
