[ZeaLitY]

Evaluate Funguy based on his character design, combat usefulness, and Tilt factor -- which can mean anything, from how much he strikes you as cool to how important he is to the plot.

Design: He's a freakin mushroom man. He's cool looking though.

Combat: Don't think I ever used him, personally.

Tilt: He's a freakin mushroom man.

"C"

[Kyronea]

Character Design: His name was chosen poorly, but this is due to the translation of the game rather than the actual character design. And he's a mushroom man...I don't recall ever seeing such a design in any other game, making him rather unique.

Combat Usefulness: Having never really used him, I cannot say.

Tilt: He's a mushroom man! But, thing is, he's just a random character. He just changes because you give him a mushroom. He has no purpose in the game other than to be there.

Now if he'd been given a purpose, he'd be more interesting, but without it...

Final Grade: D.

[Kebrel]

Design: I found him to be vary original character, but he was never important or expanded upon that I know off and his dialog wasn't anything special.

Combat: I used him vary little and he wasn't that great.

Tilt: His only redeeming factor is that it reminds me of the poem "Fungi from yuggoth"

I guess for a mushroom guy, he's designed well. But he's wearing normal clothes and is otherwise unremarkable.

Combat usefulness is eclipsed...

And Tilt suffers because he has little backstory or reason for being. I just...have to use D, I guess.

Character Design - He's a cursed item shop owner...and, uh, I guess he looks like one...He has a mushroom for a head. Obviously the character designers were on *something* when they decided on some of these characters...perhaps we now have our answer...Also, when I look at his name I can't help but think his name is FUN GUY instead of a wordplay on fungus...

Combat Usefulness - He uses an Axe/Hammer...I don't recall his Techs being anything spectacular either...

Tilt Factor - To me, his only saving grace is a quasi-cool line where he says, "I'll follow you to the depths of hell!" (or something along those lines)...I don't think it's that much of a help for him though...he's really just another nothing character. I'm surprised his daughter didn't end up as a playable too.

Final Grade - D

[nightmare975]

Character Design: Well, he's a mushroom, not much else to say.

Combat Usefulness: None, I never used him. I had better characters to use.

Tilt: Well, he is a mushroom.

Con: WTF!? You're the reason he's a mushroom, and he joins you? Almost as bad as Macha.

Final Grade: D
