Evaluate Greco 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.

Character Design: He's a Hispanic wrestler...not exactly creative, but hey, at least he's Hispanic, and in video games that's a rare thing, especially for a protagonist. Still...he's a wrestler.

Combat Usefulness: He can be amazingly useful in one particular instance where he gets a level six slot before anyone else, but that's it. He is overshadowed by a lot of others after that.

Tilt: Frankly, I'm not too fond of him. Sure, he has an interesting and somewhat touching story, but beyond that, he's just not an interesting character. He feels a lot more like a stereotype to me than human, and that takes off serious marks.

Final Grade: C.

Design: I'm actually liking the design picture much better than how he actually appears in game. Too bad.

Combat: I never felt the need to use him.

Tilt: He seems out of place in the Crono world, at least to me.

Design: A luchador? ¡No me digas! Too bad it doesn't work for him. >_>

Combat: Having only used him once, I've never really found a use for him since.

Tilt: ¡Sé Habla español!

Con: Too much angst.

Final Grade: D

Edit: I just realized that I copied and pasted the spanish.

Hah...characters who I never played and forgot even existed are not likely to rate high in my book. I abstain!

C. He gets tilt points for having an interesting tale of self-torment.

Character Design: He's a freakin lucha libre or something, man. Though I'm not quite sure he fits in with the atmosphere, I still give that points for originality...Not many mexican wrestlers as RPG heroes.

Combat Usefulness: Another person who uses gloves, but his probably makes the most sense. His Techs are also all "pro" wrestling inspired: a clothes-line, a drop kick, and a body slam.

Tilt Factor: He's a weird spiritual wrestler who lost his friend or something...Two minor cool things about him: 1) He has one of the coolest quotes from the lame underdeveloped characters, "Everything that has form must eventually fade away." (or something along those lines) and 2) Those weights in his hut, which I had fun messing around with along with the Time Shifter...I wish you could take them around with you...:lol:

Final Grade: C
