Akuma

One of the best character designs ever. Akuma also shows why Capcom is so good at designing fighting games, being able to make multiple characters with very similar moves feel completely different.

Vivi

Set the definitive black mage design. One of the best character stories in FF. Such a great character overall!

Sephiroth

One of the most menacing villains with a great story and motivation behind his crazy ass plans. His design is decent too!

Link

A timeless hero with an iconic design. All of his weapons and moves have become classics. Love the fact he's a silent protagonist!

Raiden (MGS)

From a somewhat noob character into a killing machine, Raiden's story and design developed into one of my favorites!

Baiken

Favorite female fighter. Love everything about her design, missing an arm, scar eye, colors, everything. Her samurai style and claw are awesome, as well as her tough veteran warrior personality.

Thrall

The coolest Orc. Warchief and spiritual leader of the Horde. Thrall has an epic story and design!

Simon Belmont

Cool through multiple games and designs, Simon Belmont is an awesome character that has always resonated with me. I'm very happy he made it into Smash!

Zelda/Sheik

Cool design, best princess. She had a lot more character development recently thanks to Smash, Hyrule Warriors, and Ocarina of Time.

Tyrael

Really captures a sense of power, mystery, and divine justice by his design alone. One of the coolest char designs ever!

Jim Raynor

Another badass on the list, space marine-cowboy Raynor. His design injects some relatable elements into the deep sci-fi theme. He's the heart and soul and guns of StarCraft.

Dante

Dante is a badass. Awesome design. His super fluid play style also adds character, letting you know how agile and overpowered he is. Also characters with demon form are always cool.

Despite being mute, Crono delivers a great performance thanks to his excellent animations that convey emotion and character. His design is legendary.

One of the best Final Fantasy characters. Amazing design, interesting skills, and a tragic story.

Wario

Wario is such a great character, way more interesting and complex than Mario. His personality shines in all of his games, even in his Mario Kart track.

Tyrande Whisperwind

Tyrande evokes all of the night elf qualities in her perfect design. Her aesthetic represents nature, the moon, agility. Personality/story wise she's a leader that must balance emotion and love with duty and responsibility.

Battletoads

Can't deny their TMNT influence, perhaps as a parody, yet they definitely have a charm of their own. For many of us they define the era of 'nes hard' and combine everything that made late 80s and early 90s characters (and games) so great.

Justin

Grandia is one of my favorite games and Justin is one of the main reasons why. He doesn't wallow in despair and self pity like many JRPG characters, he's all about adventure, strong and courageous. Very cool design, goggles :)
