Naturally I choose dark, since I like badguys or evil/darker people the best.

as for the other my runner-up would be Ice. I love how it looks (if done properly)

I usually like Ice the best. However it really has to be done properly to get the best effect.

However when it comes to fighters I really like the special effects. I'm hoping GGXX is going to be a graphics showcase.

I like wind. I am a big fan of Mature's wind slashing attacks.

I'll go for Holy, but Lightning can be cool, too.

I kinda of like Fire as a power. It has a classic feel to it, and can prdocue some cool effects.

I too chose lightning. Like my message title says, these are all the traditional forces in RPGs as well.

Lighting and Ice have always been my favorite elemental powers, and Dark would probably be third. Lighting is just so quick and flashy, I had to pick it first.

Slightly related, I'm looking forward to FFXI.

Holy for me. It can be quite impressive and besides, I can't recall a time in an RPG when Holy didn't have any effect on a boss.

Fire is used too often. Kyo, Ken, Iori, many of the main fighting characters have them. Besides, many bosses in RPG's can be strong against fire.

It's a darn shame I can't name many fighters who use water. The only person I can think of right now is Sogetsu (I think that's spelled right) of the Samurai Spirits series. Frog's (Chrono Trigger) element was water, if I recall. Water is for those cool and calm characters like Sogetsu. The only problem it has is lightning.

Lightning is an interesting element. Many cool characters have this element. Benimaru, Kaede, Kyousuke (his anti-air is lightning), Crono, etc. Too flashy though. I guess that's the same for fire.

Earth is not impressive. People will use the air to their advantage. This hurts characters like Shigen.

Wind is a spiffy element. The one thing I hate about it is that wind is the element of one of the most irritating bosses ever - Goenitz.

Ice is more of a feminine element. Kula and Rimnerel/Rimururu have this element. Oh and this was Marle's element also. Then again, so does Iceman. Anyway, ice is an okay element, but it does have a good amount of weaknesses.

I was never a fan of the dark element, since it can be cheap, although getting Magus as a character was kind of cool.

Ice is the best. Iceman and Sasquatch kick ass.

However, I'm sorely disapointed that I couldn't pick Magnetism or Saikyo powah...
dudes, what were you thinking?

yeah and I draw stuff too...

A toss up between Water (Sogetsu rocks!) or Dark; when done right (The Vampire crew.).

This is almost always the case, Holy also has that nice shiny zing to it.

But,

The last boss in Tactics Ogre has an unholy resistance to holy, every piece of equipment he wears is some evil armor with flaming anti-holy powers. Definitely an exception to the rule though.

Did you forget Shigen's DP and fierce slash move? ^_^ It works pretty well for me.. If " Earth " = throw characters, I can say I'm a big fan of Earth. Shigen can slam the hell out of people if you get good with his follow-ups...

Oh and yeah. You can say that Earth = Throw characters pretty much, although Chang had some ground like moves and he wasn't a throw character.

Ice for me, mainly because of Kula!
*hugs Kula tightly*
If only! ^_^

There's also Rimururu and Yuki (LB) with ice
powers, and I like them both a lot too.
