What makes a good LF2 Character?

[YinYin]

frozen? what's so amazing on him? i dont really like the much him, except the sprites, which are splendid

His ice mirrages allow him to become pretty much untouchable if you master them (you can do them while running, landing, defending, holding an opponent ... they are a great escape and combo setup - there is no other character like this).

now let's take a look on mainsite, in the character list, we can easily see that solar_flare is the most prefered character, according to hits number. i think i played him once and it want that great, or else i would remember better

so we can see that people like different things on characters and dont usually share the same preferences. i think its a few hard to determine what most of people (~80%) would say what makes a char good

A download hit does not reflect more than it is - it does not tell you that x amount of people liked it - just that x amount of people were tricked into downloading it (that'll be a different reason on each of them: suggested by someone else, thought it should be good because it's the most downloaded character, sounded cool, looked cool, ... it may as well have been a let down for everyone)
