I cannot put a rank on these characters, as it is extremely hard for me to pick favourites. Here are five characters that I like (in no particular order):
-Mario. First video game character that I knew, still the first character I think of when someone says "Nintendo". Although I can't put a number on him, he will always remain in the top few.
-Link. I found out about link through Super Smash Bros. Melee (I only ever had Mario games up until then). I thought to myself, "He seems pretty cool" and looked at what game he was from in the trophy collection. One cruise across the Great Sea later, and Link became a main part of my game collection.
-Solid Snake and Naked Snake/Big Boss. These two characters are so close in relation (both literally and in terms of what they do) that I am listing them in one spot. I had no idea what Metal Gear Solid was before Super Smash Bros. Brawl came out. I decided to look into Snake's background and get Metal Gear Solid (The Twin Snakes). I have been a fan of the Metal Gear series ever since, buying each entry in the Metal Gear Solid line (not counting portable games) at least once (I bought the normal and special versions of MGS2 and MGS3)
-Shadow the Hedgehog. I always liked him more than Sonic. I don't know why, I've just always been drawn to the villians and antiheroes (examples: Vegeta, Team Rocket, Ganondorf, Ghirahim, ect. Speaking of Ghirahim...).
-Lord Ghirahim. I dare say I like him even more than Ganondorf (which, personally, is saying a lot). He's a tad flamboyant, immediately grabbing my attention whenever he appears. He's very active when he speaks, which I find somewhat entertaining. He has pretty awesome powers, any of which I would love to have. He has a tendency to be a smart aleck/jerk (just like me).
