Cody - 7 - Don't like the Prison Uniform, but a fun play style.
Faust/ Dr. B: (GG) - 5- Sadly Faust falls on the Don't like side for me of the GG designs. Not bad, but not to my tastes
Yonjou Hinako (KOF) - 7- Typical school girl look, but done with orginality. I need to spend more time playing her, so this rating may rise in the future for me
Jin (Capcom vs) - 9- Jin is a hot blooded hero, and his attacks are neat. Great fun and I hope he makes it over to Sammy vs Capcom....
Gantetsu: (PS) NA
Juzoh: (LB) 7 - Don't really play him alot, but he's an intresting design
Akari: (LB) 9 - Cute and spunky, and lots of play variety. Her Spirit super alone makes her super cool.
Psylocke: (Marvel vs) 5 - Bleah to Jim Lee's Ninja Design. The old Betsy in Captain Britin by Alan Moore was MUCH better
Gato: 8 - Yeah, it's a typical Kung Fu fighter. But he plays well, and has an intresting character.
Q: 3rd strike 8 - Just becasue he was based on a Tezuka Character
Separated at Birth?

Cody - 3.5. Doesn't do anything for me. Slightly better in Final Fight, but I hate how he looks in Alpha 3, not to mention how he plays. Bleh. Capcom dropped the ball with him.
Faust/ Dr. B: (GG) - 8.8.
Like just about every Guilty Gear character, insanely original in design. Really fun to play as, too. Not as fun as some other characters, though. Not *quite* good enough for a 9.
Yonjou Hinako (KOF) - 9.3.
One of my favorite characters to play as in KOF. She's just so different that it works. Everyone thinks she's weak and sucks and blah blah blah, but I think she's one of the best additions to KOF. Go Hinako! Could use a different personality, but I'm willing to overlook.
Jin (Capcom vs) - 6.5.
I guess they did him fairly well. He's pretty crazy. He's not too exciting too me, though. Maybe a little too crazy at times. Better than average, though.
Gantetsu: (PS) - 1.
Uh, what? BORING. What the hell is that? Futuristic fat Guile? He'll never compare to Gamof anyway.
Juzoh: (LB) - 8.
I can't play him for crap, but I like his design. He's pretty funny, too.
Akari: (LB) - 9.2.
One of my favorites from Last Blade and in fighting games in general. She's got a lot of neat attacks and a good design. Far from the typical miko. And despite being a comic relief character I think she actually figures into the main plot somehow! Wonderful.
Psylocke: (Marvel vs) - 9.
A solid design. I think I liked her even before I saw her in a Capcom game. Her attacks are cool, as is her background. Simple but effective design.
Gato: 2.5.
He doesn't strike me as particularly interesting. Part of my score carries over from how much I HATED fighting against him in MOTW, but even without that I wouldn't rate him very high. Boring. That stupid jump kick where he goes "hai-hai-hai-hai-hai" doesn't help his standing. Stupid story, too. GET OUT OF KOF!
Q: 8.5.
He doesn't seem to get much love. I like him. I haven't played as him but from what I've seen I think I'd like to. Really brutal looking attacks. Another simple but effective design, I think.
THIS IS DWARF INVASION!

Cody: 10, a god amongst fighters, and for the record, I like him in Alpha 3 more than in Final Fight, I mean, seriously, what do people see in blue jeans and a white t-shirt!?
*wants a prison suit like Cody's*
Maybe I should rob a bank or something...
Jin (Capcom vs): 10, yelling as he does, he is 100% hotblooded super robot pilot, which makes him supremely shiny! BLOOOOOODIAAAAAAAA!
p.s. Blodia II Custom is a SUPER robot, not a real robot, understood!?!?!?
Gantetsu: (PS): 7, I would have given him more if his moves weren't all based off of Gamof's, it's okay with the other Plasma Sword characters because they're related, but Gantetsu running on three limbs and using the Gamo Screw is weird...
He does get points for having "Green Plasma" (whatever that means) and for Ryu's cameo in his ending!
Q: 3rd strike: 10, Q-minator, powaaa ON!

Cody - 5, I like him but his voice is... repulsive.
Faust/ Dr. B: (GG) - 10. He has his "page of love" in every Arcadia since GGXX, where he explains how to play to GG. How could I possibly say something bad about him? Plus he gains extra points for the afro frenzy.
Yonjou Hinako (KOF) - 8. I could never play her effectively (if there even is such a thing) but she is such an original moe chara you can't hate her. Plus she has Magical Drop's Lover's voice. Every time I play her, I see the little pig flying in the screen.
Jin (Capcom vs) - 10. RESURRECTION!! How he became such a character after what he was in Cyberbots? Dainamaitoh! (moeeee!)
Gantetsu: (PS) - 1... Well, Star Gladiator does have interesting designs... but they are rare.
Juzoh: (LB) - 10. Another moeeeee chara. Especially for his vs art in the first gekka. A bovine musculature, a bovine look, a stupid voice, and a huge phallic item in the hand... (moeeeeee)
Akari: (LB) - 8. I like her design, her scenario, but I just can't play her... but the cameos in her moves in SvC and Gal's Fighter save her.
Psylocke: (Marvel vs) - 2. She could be worse, she could be a muscular guy in a lycra suit with a trunks on it.
Gato: 7. hai-hai-hai-hai-hai!
Q: 9. When Capcom makes a complete copy of an existing character, it's much more interesting than K9999. He's weird in every possible way, and he scares children. I can't wait for the crossover Q / Kusaregedô. My chara in Third Strike. (temporary).

OK, here I go!
Cody: 5 Didn't liked him much in FF, and don't like him also in SFA3. However, I recently discovered his gameplay and it's interesting.
Faust/ Dr. B: 8 The design, story and personality are great overall, and I love his winning animation when he flies away saying: SAAAAAYOOOOOONAARAAAAAAAAAA... However, I can't use him properly, so it frustrates me.
Yonjou Hinako: 3 I just don't like this "sumo little girl". Originality needs a little thought, also. Her gameplay is interesting, however, even if I can't use her properly (nor I want, but it's a pain when I get her in random select).
Juzoh: 5 I don't like him much, and can't use him well, but I see his potential.
Akari: 4 Annoying is a good word for describing her. And I don't like her gameplay also.
Psylocke: 7 Good design (Hey, it's Jim Lee version, afterall), but I find her quite weak.
Gato: 9 He's one of my favourites in MOTW, and I hope he goes to KOF well. Good design, and good gameplay, albeit a bit cheap in MOTW.
Q: 6 Probably my less favourite in TS, but still decent.
Use Time Magic to control time and space. Extremely useful allies.

Cody: 9, I love his introduction into the SF universe.
Faust/ Dr. B: 2, I don't like him that much, I think he's too weird (this is strange coming from me).
Yonjou Hinako: 1, I don't like young pretty girls.
Jin: 9, Excellent fighter, and that crazyness adds a lot to his character.
Psylocke: 10, I guess I will always give any Jim Lee design a 10.
Gato: 1, he bores me.
Q: 10, oh yes, one of my favorite characters ever!

Cody - 7. He's the epitome of generica in his original incarnation, but the jail suit/handcuffs are a nice touch (and a good excuse for "prison wife" jokes). He also has an unusual sort of fighting style, without being out of place in any way. I think his voice is supposed to be reminiscent of a Prohibition-era gangster ("We're gonna bust ya up, see, yeah!")

Faust/ Dr. B - 9. All of the above are true. The only way he'd be better is if he got a nappy 'fro ougi.

Hinako - 8. Her whole character is the girl/sumo juxtaposition, but it certainly works.

True. 2, if you would. It's Christmas, may as well be generous.

No comment here. I am ambivalent.
quote (Marvel vs) - 2. She could be worse, she could be a muscular guy in a lycra suit with a trunks on it.
Yes, isn't it cool to detest those AWFUL American comics, where no one ever dies and all the storylines are always the same.  8!!! (Hey, I really do like this design. Honest.)
quote 7. hai-hai-hai-hai-hai!
Same rating here.
quote 9. When Capcom makes a complete copy of an existing character, it's much more interesting than K9999. He's weird in every possible way, and he scares children. I can't wait for the crossover Q / Kusaregedô. My chara in Third Strike. (temporary).
Q - 10. Nifty playing style, but he's still accessible. And even though he's a rip, he fits quite well among Third Strike's cast.
Spoiler (Highlight to view) -
Even if he is the love child of Balrog and Charlie, implanted with the left arm and spleen of Guile, and driven out of his mind with Psycho power.

...yes, and? Is there anything wrong with thinking this?
YES!!! In your sarcastic dismissal, you deny the art form that a great many men and women have devoted their lives to pursuing, evolving, and glorifying.
And again! No one ever dies in comics? Bull! What you think represents American comics are children's literature. The be-eyebrowed Batman and super-Boy Scout Superman are not indicative of the comics industry as a whole, they are indicative of what can be popular without getting undue attention from censors. (I submit to you the example of EC Comics, creators of Tales from the Crypt, whose hard-boiled crime and horror comics were killed thanks to the ridiculously repressive Comics Code, which I might add has now been dropped altogether by Marvel Comics.) Not only that, figures that represent concepts such as the American ideal (Superman) are not going to be put out to the pasture for the simple reason that they are icons. I daresay there would be public outcry.
All storylines the same? Example 1: 100 Bullets. Storyline: The mysterious Agent Graves comes to people whose lives have been shattered and offers them a gun and 100 untraceable bullets to right the wrongs done to them. Example 2: Runaways. Storyline: Group of children discover their parents are supervillains after seeing them sacrifice a prostitute in a "Ceremony of Blood." They go on the run and in the process discover their own abilities. Example 3: Maus. Pulitzer Prize winner. Storyline: Nonfiction, the book recounts the life of the writer's father, a Holocaust survivor, and their relationship, with various subplots involving the writer's life. In the comic, the Jews are represented as mice and the Nazis as cats, the reason for the title.
