Dr. Robotnik from the Sonic the Hedgehog games 7. Kirby 8. Yoshi from the Super Mario games 10. Donkey Kong Thats enough characters for now.

Besides the obvious choices, Mario, Sonic, Link etc. I have a couple that I really love.
Master Chief (Halo) - I really started loving him after reading the novels. The Prince (Prince of Persia) - Favourite game series of last-gen, and he's just such a cool character. Waluigi - Despite the fact he's probably the most unoriginal character in Mario history, he's my boy in all the games he's in. Mario Tennis, Mario Kart DS, Mario Party etc. Mega Man - Just such a gaming legend. I prefer old skool Mega Man to X, but I like X too. Conker - My lone playable character in Diddy Kong Racing back on the 64. He's hilarious and CBFD was amazing. The Wanderer (Shadow of the Collosus) - Doesn't talk, doesn't have any expression, just goes about his business to save his woman. |

I have no idea how I forgot to put Mega Man on my list. He's awesome! I like Link from Zelda and Samus from Metroid also.

Here we go... list *with* reasons. Oh, and I'm going to do this by character, not by design... list might look a bit strange 'cause of that.
1) Mallow, Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. Why? He's a big puff of cloud. If you haven't played this game, I'm not going to spare you from some spoilers, because honestly... what rock have you been under for the last ten years? You just feel kinda bad for the guy. When you first meet him, some damn bully took his money... then he finds out he's not a tadpole, and *then* he's put on an insane quest with some crazy italian plumber. Somehow he makes it through it all though, and by the end of the game, eventhough I'm usualy using Peach as my healer, he's one bad ass mofo. 2) Todd, Pokemon Snap Why? This kid doesn't care about forcing the Pokemon to battle to the knock out (read: death), he's just happy to take their damn picture. And anyone that's willing smash a Kangashkan over the head with an apple is just cool. Gassing Meowth's, forcing Magnemite's to evolve... all part of a days work for him. And hey, the game was a needed breah of fresh air. 3) Link, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker Why? This is the *only* Link in the series to have a personality. Really, he is. The other Links were just shells for the player... but Eiji Aonuma must have decided he needed a bit more. And hell, the little tyke's fun to mess with. Ever make him just fall into lava to watch his animation? 4) Princess Peach, Paper Mario Why? Again... she had personality. Aside from Super Mario Bros. 2 (USA version), this was the first time players got to control her in a platformer setup. One of my favorite parts of the game was sneaking around the castle as Peach, pissing off the guards. 5) Ed, Blathers, Tom Nook, Animal Crossing. Why? Ed's a crossdressing horse, and in my GCN game he's got a full modern set on display in his house. Lucky bastard. What's not to love? Blather's is just funny as hell. Cracks me up every time I give him a gross bug. And Tom Nook is a shifty buisness man... but he'll take anything for bells. |

In no real order ('sides alphabetical)...
Bowser Chun-Li M. Bison Ryu Samus Aran Solid Snake Solidus Snake Soma Cruz Vincent Valentine Yuri Sakazaki Granted, if I were to go beyond a top ten and list all my major favorite gaming characters... it'd take quite some time to be sure.

I'll do a short top 5 list
5. Leon - He's cool calm, and can get blood sprayed all over him without even flinching. 4. Jill - My favorite Resident Evil Survivor. Jill is one bad ass babe. 3. Dingo - Operator of everyone's favorite Orbitial Frame Jehuty. He's like a techy version of Dante. 2. Kain - Ahh the star of his own series and quite a story it has. His blood lust and just plain acts of evil make him one bad ass vampire. 1. Dante - This should be to no ones surprise. I mean need I even explain why Dante rules? It's more of a fact that he just does. |

Dante looks like a chick? Well okay.
He's a smart ass Laughs in the face of impending doom Has some nice one liners Is a half demon with some bad ass powers Has a nice weapon selection Kills some wicked looking demons Does it for the benifit of his own affairs and no one elses Hates his own family Has more style in his pinky then any other video game character And can pull off a total metro-sexual look and still be bad ass*I'll admit DMC 3 Dante looked like a model for some gay leather shop magazine ad* Guess you'd have to play the games and possibly read the comics/Mangas to have the same out look I do. Sephiroth, to me, is a whiney emo who misses his Mom. |

Anyways, yeah, he looks like a girl and I have played the games. Total chick. He just seems so terribly generic. |

Haha I added that because he's always cracking jokes about his Dad and his Brother.
But I agree he is, and like I said you probly need to read the books and comics like I did to understand. In the games he doesn't have half the personality. |
