Satoryu's Top 10 Video Game Babes
This one's going to be tricky, just cause there's so many womens out there. And this isn't a beauty pageant. I'm taking other aspects of the character into consideration just as much as the looks. So if I don't actually know about the character, I can't put her on my list. Sorry Morrigan.
10: Rikku (Final Fantasy X/X-2)
Rikku's a cute character, both in looks and personality. She was the more interesting girl in FFX. Yuna was plain, and Lulu was just boobs. Rikku's spunkiness is just better. That got carried over into X-2, and was even amplified. She also shows more skin for no real reason. I'll admit I never used her much in FFX, though. I'm all about power, and i never really fooled around with Mix.
9: Leviathan (Mega Man Zero)
Speaking of spunky, Levi always gave me that vibe. Of the Big 4, she was definitely the most playful, and maybe even the most level headed. I just wish her character was developed a little more. The fights with her were alright, and her Dark Elf mode in Zero 2 didn't look ridiculous. Though Model L can't do much, at least it is pretty strong.
8: Millia Rage (Guilty Gear)
I like the whole premise of using her hair as a weapon. It shows a lot of creativity and limitless potential. The fact that the hair's blonde just sweetens the deal. (In case you couldn't tell by this list, I do have a thing for blondes.) I always liked her design as well. Simple, yet effective. And it does allow a lot of panty shots. Her backstory is admittedly not the best; she's really just revenge driven. But I really like playing as her. Considering I suck at GG, I could maybe put up some sort of fight with her.
7: Amy (Soul Calibur)
I don't like the gothic lolita look. At all. I don't have a thing for little girls, either. But that doesn't stop me from enjoying Amy. I didn't care for her in SCIII, mostly cause she didn't do anything. But SCIV immensely improved her. She's still quiet, but at lease she doesn't only say her name. Her quiet dememanor is appealing, if not moe. I really enjoy using her moveset in SCIV. I've actually won a few games with her. Oh, and her story mode ending is the best.
6: Faith (Mirror's Edge)
Best New Character of 2008. Much like how the game is a departure from the norm, so is her design. She's pretty, but she's not drop dead gorgeous with a EEE bust size. It's a more respectable beauty. She's sporty, but not butch. The tattoos are an interesting touch. I'll admit having to rescue a sibling has been done before, but it's kind of interesting that a woman has to save a damsel in distress.
5: Sophitia (Soul Calibur)
MILF Alert! Seriously, Sophitia's design never fails to be ultra revealing. In SCIV, she's down to just a toga. Going to the M in MILF, she's devoted to her family. It's the reason why she fights Soul Edge in the first place. And it also explains her rash actions in SCIV, which was an interesting change of pace. I always liked playing as Sophie and her clones, Cassandra and Lizardman. Their style feels very fluid. I like Sophie the most cause one of her unblockables has her floating in the air for a while, one of her throws involves her sitting on people's faces, and she has one of the few good looking Critical Finishes.
4: Alia (Mega Man X)
Does she not shut up in X5? Yeah. But X6 definitely improved that. X6 also improved her character. Or rather, gave her one, cause she didn't have anything going for her in X5. Her history with Gate was interesting, and it brought some actual emotion into the story. Her design was always good, but I really like how she let her hair down in X8. She's pretty good to play as in X8 also, even though she can't use the Neutral Armor. X's default buster is strong enough anyway.
3: Rosalina (Super Mario Galaxy)
When I first saw Rosalina, I thought it was Peach in a different getup. The fact that she also goes the title "Princess" is bad enough, but why keep that dinky little crown? Miyamoto needs to diversify the Mario women. But there's more to Rosalina than that. She takes care of the young Lumas on a space station/rocket until they mature into galaxies. In short, she creates the universe. She's God. She's also my preferred character to use in Mario Kart Wii. Dunno why she's heavy class, though.
2: Dizzy (Guilty Gear)
Goddamn, look at her design. It's a hodgepodge of a lot of things, but they all combine into an almost original concept. She's got blue hair tied in pigtails. She wears next to no clothing. She's got a white wing and a black wing that harbor shape shifting spirits within them. She's very polite, even when fighting. And she's cute as a button. Oh, and cause she's a Gear, she's really frickin powerful. I like her pirate look too.
1: Samus (Metroid)
Admittedly, her personality hasn't been fleshed out all that much. Metroid Fusion does offer quite a bit, though. And I really enjoyed her inner monologues there. It gave her human characteristics absent from other games. Most of the time, she's portrayed (or at least interpreted) as a lone wolf with a tragic childhood and enduring adolescence, which is kind of interesting too. Once her suit comes off, you can see Samus is beautiful. And I use that word specifically. Beautiful is much more respectable than hot. Though many will use hot to describe her, probably cause she leaves little to the imagination. I'm sick of the Zero Suit, by the way. Show some more skin, woman!
