Character Design: Purple jacket? White guitar? Perfect combination!

Combat Usefulness: He's like Nikki on steroids.

Tilt: Prince has had quite the long musical career, and while he's not entirely to my taste, he's definitely excellent as a musician and thus a nod should be given to him because of that.

Final Grade: COMPUTER BLUE!!!

Yes indeed. This is the springtime of youth.

Design: Prince's design has evolved throughout his career. The image of him in purple rain, with that platinum purple jacket, fluffy shirt, curls, white guitar, and zebra fuzz guitar strap is the definitive.

Combat: Computer's on the verge of a breakdown!!

Tilt: I'm with Prince for the early 80s, and with some of his later stuff. But the defining moment has to be the 12 minute version of Computer Blue. Nothing captures the strife, love, and wild passion of the kid like that. It's a symphony, and Prince's watering it down to 4 minutes for the album is one of the greatest musical crimes ever committed.

COMPUTER BLUE!!

The usual 2 days. I'm taking a huge step in a personal project (you know the one) and I don't want to have to divert my attention to defending the righteous awesomeness of Pierre against heathens ignorant of his glory...

Oh, well, okay then. Guess we'll consider this the joke entry, then. I've been wondering if one would come up.

Design: Well, someone's raided Barry Manilow's Wardrobe.

Combat: With the ability to rewind, slow down fast forward and stop time, Prince has some of the most useful attacks.

Tilt: Prince helps you out in that one side quest where you have to party like it's 1999, BEST SIDE QUEST EVER!

Con: His so called "inappropriate behavior" at the Super Bowl costs him a few points.

Final Grade: Awesome only in the 80's and 90's
