I bet you all think, hey thatīs just a favourite character thread...

But thatīs not what I wanna know. I wanna know which design/style you love the most. For example, one of my all time favourites Mitsuhide...isnīt in. I love his character and his moveset, his weapons...but well, in my eyes there are better designs.

Since BASARAīs unique styles and designs is what makes it so special...what are your favourite ones?

Which character do you like most in ways of style/design (think about factors like how he looks, his weapon/s, movements and even personality, since most of the time, you can tell by the look at one character what kind of personality he has)

For me itīs:

5th - Masamaune Date.

I just love it. Engrish is the best thing, that could ever happen in a game. Also blue/purple are my favourite colors + his weapons are awesome. I mean a sword is nothing special, two swords...but six swords used like a dragonīs claw?
Awesome. Plus his overall design of a electric one-eyed dragon...badass. He may be a cliche-badass/posterboy but a well done one.

4th - Matsunaga Hisahide

See? Itīs not a favourite character thread :P . Even though Kotaro wears the black&white style too, it fits Hisahide more. Also the way he talks and moves, his voice, his style...heīs fascinating.
The good old gentleman villain, that controlls his enemys and defeats them with their own mind. Canīt think of a better design for a character like him anymore. Also I like his "death animation" were he blows himself up and all that he leaves are ashes...just "stylish".

3rd - Uesegi Kenshin

Ah, I love it. Even though some say he looks like a girl...I donīt mind. Heīs just like snow. White, beautiful, moves with graze but can be ice cold, finishing off the enemy before he knows it
(well, snow doesnīt kill anyone, but snow only works if itīs cold and thereīs freezing to death, were one doesnīt know heīs dying, since he doesnīt feel anything anymore after some time...and if he realizes it...itīs too late)
I like the way he moves, the way he talks...also the fact that, again, itīs like he is "Frost" himself. Heīs designed to be the "cool breeze" that freezes down the raging fire of the fired up Tiger.

2nd - Mouri Motonari

Youīll laugh, but even though they donīt look alike, he reminds me of Link, from Zelda. Maybe itīs the green or the strange hat...
but well thatīs a good thing, since I really like the green and his helmet. Also his ice cold attitude, not caring for anything, though at the same time, worshipping the sun, who shares light and warmth with everyone...plus I like really like his weapon.
In the first one, his weapon was just a bunch of papers on a stick...but now the Blade ring + allmost every skill uses something that resembles the sun/a ring...Iīd have voted him my favourite since allmost everything fits in his design/style, the look, colors, his personality...but, thereīs another one allmost sharing the same name....

1st - Chosokabe "Aniki" Motochika

Pirates are awesome. Badass characters with eye-patches are awesome. A guy waving around a big spear-anchor attached with a chain are awesome. And you know what? He has all of this. Heīs got style and a really fitting "Donīt care" attitude. The way he walks, the way he wears his jacket, the white hair, the purple/pink outfit, the skill were he punches someone in the guts, looks down on him and than kicks him away...
Itīs not your everyday pirate, but thatīs what makes him special. And again, he has a freaking Anchor as his weapon. Even though heīs not my all time favourite...since his moveset is kinda meh, thanks to some pretty much useless skills...heīs my all time favourite in terms of style and design. ANIKIIIIII~

Great topic, sadly my list is really similar to yours, but oh well.

#5:~ Fuuma Kotaro~

Its Fuuma! His design is just so awesome, the helmet that covers his eyes, the white jumpsuit, the face paint, the black/blue stripes, just everthing about his design is so simple, yet so complex.

Also, his whole "silent" attitude, he doesn't even grace anyone with the curtesy of talking to them. He has a a varied weapon choice, and is so fast, you don't even know what happened until your dead! ^_^

#4: ~Sarutobi Sasuke~
Well, you have to admit, Camo is a pretty unique design for a video game that takes place in the 15-1600s, also, red flowy hair like his is really amusing to watch move around atop of a dark coloured costume :lol: also, his head gaurd thing is pretty unique.

His whole sarcastic style makes me adore him, even though he is kinda jokey, he is serious at times, and a fierce ninja

#3 ~Maeda Toshi(ie)~
He is an interesting one! :XD He may lack in clothing but he makes up for it! His Fur, gourd, and half naked and cut up body, gives him a ruff look, but one look at his eyes and faace, and you can see right into his gentil inside. I also love the hat on his back!

#2 ~ Uesugi Kenshin~
How do you not love this guy! I love it when a character's design revolves around ice or snow, it always proves interesting, and Kenshin is always interesting, Everything about his design reflects himself in some way, and i love the blue and his turban thing :ZD i'm not sure what it is exactly, also, those beads on his waist are just plain badass. The upward Shoulder pads add a great feel to the overall design.

I admit, i'm a big fan of Iaijustu, and Kenshin is one of my favourite users of it! His slightly cold front is easily a disguise, he is loving, (we see so with Kasuga) and a romantic, he has a quarly relationship with Shingen, The Gosd of war resides in Kenshin :cool:

#1 ~ Maeda Keiji~
His eccentric design just makes me love him, he also weilds a giant Nodachi with one hand! :OMG: And his sheath conviently falls from the sky when needed :XD I also just love yellow. Keiji's hair is simple and awesome.And YUMEKICHI! Yumekichi is one of my favourite things about Keiji, what can i say, i just love the little guy!

His happy-go-lucky attitude is a favourite of mine, i just love the happy ones, and Keiji is eccentricly happy, he is mischeivous and an all around happy guy with style and grace, his dancing also adds to his style -_- along with his love of SAkura trees

Sweet topic DK. I mean, we all have our favourite characters, but just because we like the characters doesn't mean to say we think his/her's design is the best. Well, heres mine.

5. Takenaka Hanbei
I know he fits the stereo typical "effeminate male" that all the fan girls absolutely adore, but Tsuchibayashi did something... special with him. I don't really know how to put it in words. I normally make fun of the cliché "girly boy" characters, but Tsuchibayashi made him so... badass. His personality definitely corresponds with his design and his weapon just adds more to his appeal. His theme is one of my favourites and one of Tsuchibayashi's pieces show him with his weapon wrapped around Kojuurous neck. Again, this just adds more to his badassness.

4. Teh Dokuganryu
He personally isn't one of my favourite characters (not to say I hate him, though) and I think he is waaay over-rated for his own good, but I admit, I can see why all the fujoshi and the fan boys swoon over him. His design is the epitome of coolness. Seriously, a guy with six swords is going to appeal to anyone, nevermind the fact he wears an eyepatch (a mark of manlyness) and can launch a giant thunder beams. His role as the main character sometimes irks me as Capcom focus alot on him, which can be seen by the anime, but his seiyuu, Kazuya Nakai, really appeals to me. What with voicing Roronoa Zoro and all that :hehe:

3. Azai Nagamasa
Ah, Mr.Justice. His alt outfit is my favourite alt costume in the game, mostly because his hair reminds me somewhat of my own, minus the pony tail, but his clothes are pretty badass as well. He doesn't only have one of my favourite designs in series, but he is also one of my favourite characters. Not to mention he's my most used one. His weapon and armour also appeal to me, especially his last ones. They look like they're made from emerald or something... So yeah, I'm kinda upset hes "having a break" during SB3, but I'm certain we'll see him again.

2. ANIKI
Along with Motonari, his design and weapon are what got me into the series, so it's kinda hard to choose between them. I mean, the dude SURFS on his anchor. SURFS ON HIS ANCHOR. Not to mention he's a pirate. A PIRATE. His seiyuu, Ryuzu Ishino, is also one of the best IMO, so yeah, god bless the Kaizoku!

1. Mouri Motonari
Yep, you guessed it, Motonari is numbah.1 for me in the design department. True, both him and Motochika are the dudes who got me into BASARA, but I guess I like Motonari a tad more. The guy sports one of my favourite weapons of all time and has a unique and kick ass design to boot. I remember playing Sekigahara as him on SB2 and using the skill where he rapidly spins his ring blade. God, that could damn well whip up a combo...

Hopefully Yoshitsugu will take Motonari's spot as my all-time favourite design and judging by his sillhouette , it's looking good.
