I LOVE THIS TOPIC!!! and i have to admit, i agree 99% of the times with that Frankie guy from gamegen (not that i'm copying him or anything it's just that we're sort of have the same interests).

Video Game:Samurai Shodown Series
Character:Ukyo
My Rating:10+
Reasons: this guy is AWESOME!! he is one of the ORIGINAL guyz to have a calm and peaceful personality. one that's quiet and doesn't attract attention to himself. all of his movements are fluid like a grasshopper(excuse the metaphor, but that's all i can think of at the moment). his moves are so damn original as well. his swallow swipe thing is based on slicing swallows in midair. it's like a downward motion that counters your opponent's attack.

Video Game: Samurai Shodown Series
Character: Genjuro
My Rating: 10
Reasons: this is the most badass character i know of(more badass than vegeta, iori and many others). he's been 99% evil from the very beginning. the guy's a really cool gambler and many of his moves are based off gambling. plus, he is truly the stronger samurai compared to haohmaru cause he has defeated haohmaru befroe and if it wasn't for that secret technique haohmaru had, genjuro can crush haohmaru ANYDAY!! his style and moves are also VERY original(especially that dashing backslash). plus, he's so powerful that he can slash the air and send a powerful enough wave of air pressure to cut through wood.

Character: Igniz/Ignis
My Rating:9.5
Reasons: this boss is the most powerful character i have EVER faced (if you manage to touch him, i will bow before you). his robe and god-like attitude makes him so cool. plus, his moves maybe cheap, but he IS THAT POWERFUL. have you ever seen what he does to you when he executes his super(or desperation, watever). that thing is RIDICULOUSLY painful to watch and practically invincible.

Video Game: KOF+Fatal Fury Series
Character: Terry Bogard
My Rating: 9
Reasons: At first when i saw this guy, i didn't like him much since he was an American hero and i usually perfered Azn heroes. but after learning more about this guy, i started to like his originality. first of all, this guy is GREAT variation from the usual hero in karate uniform type. his moves are very original(the powerwave on the ground, the rushing fist thing and the flip back kick thing) and his hat just makes him look even cooler while doing his moves.

Video Game: KOF Series
Character: Kyo Kusanagi
My Rating: 9.5
Reasons: this guy is just TOO cool man. i know he isn't given much credit cause he is the rival of Iori(and we know just how much everyone just LOVES Iori), but all those cool tricks he does with the flames is so cool (i especially like that taunt where he blows away the flame at the tip of his finger). personally, i liked his white jacket much better than his original black thing(it made him look evil, like Iori). and his moves are very unique. i must admit, seeing his attacks, it was the first time i've seen a style like his(making a series of different combos by rusing forward with different types of punches). plus, his flaming uppercut is much more slick lookin than a shoryuken.

Character: Basara
My Rating: 10
Reasons: this guy is spells out the words UNIQUE to ya. i mean, when's the last time you've seen a guy who welds a giant blade attached to chains disappear into shadows and reappear to stealthily strike. plus, he's got an interesting love story behind his will to fight. and he is an expert at controlling his UNIQUE weapon.

Video Game: Garou: Mark of the Wolves
Character: Rock Howard
My Rating: 10
Reasons: this guy is like a dream come true. the awesome power of his father, geese howard, combined with the cool and unique personality of Terry Bogard. the blue aura and flames in his mvoes are just too cool (his taunts are the coolest in any character).
Company: Sammy
Video Game: Guilty Gear
Character: Justice
My Rating: 10
Reasons: I LOVE this guy. even though he looks like a robot, his mecha design is ONE of the most original anime designs ever, sprouting from tekkaman blade. he is just one cool badass robot.
anyways, that's all FOR NOW.
