I'm familiar with Gackt, it doesn't instantly make me like the design of Nikki.

This opinion is completely wrong. So, so wrong.
Careful not to step on that edge.
Makes the second half of your paragraph bittersweet for me.
If you mean an abomination you are absolutely right.
The entire point of the character is literally to be as annoying as possible. That's what the heck.Time to post some American ones.

You can look decent and still be as annoying as possible. See: Rosh Penin.
Also this character:
Raven is my second favorite hero next to Batman. But her face here is just...

This is the most fucked up ive seen. Cant believe someone signed off on that.

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
Great design ruined by a terrible costume... so yeah, bad design I guess. All of her other costumes make her 1000000000x better.Velvet Crowe from Tales of Berseria
That design is dope as hell
Because the designer knew their mythology and art history.
Diana/Artemis of Ephesus (1st century AD):
Villa d'Este Diana Fountain (16th century):
Peter Paul Rubens (early 17th century):
Diana wasn't just the goddess of the hunt but also of nature and fertility.

Cody as "Death" in Final Fight Streetwise:
This here folks, is the threadwinner, definitely one of the scrubbiest designs I've ever seen.
Again: Taken to humorous Levels.
Hell there seems to be a bigger hand to head ratio with Reinhardt there, there is a reason why Reindhart's un helmeted skins use a head bigger than the one with the helmet.
Of all the reasons to shit on Battleborn, very valid reasons, Montana always seemed to be the one to make the least sense to me.
i mean, look at this guy, still from battleborn:
You seriously, SERIOUSLY, are telling me Montana is worse than this polygon barf?
He is so misshapen and over the place that i dare you to find him in the picture with all the Battleborn characters that was posted earlier in this thread, it's harder than you'd think because he lacks a distinctive shape he looks like the background.
The reason people shit on montana is because he's the iconic battleborn character and shitting on battleborn seems to be something all the cool kids enjoy.

Anyway mine is Monkey from Enslaved. This is not a character design you try to build a franchise on.

I dont like her design either in the first game. Much better in the second game
How about this handsome guy? I don't like most
Of the characters or even the aggressive art style of SF V. A far cry from the timeless look of the pixel art games.

People look at designs without knowing their backgrounds.
And it's strange that people are post SMT demons in here considering that the designs tie symbolically to the real life mythology.

This.
I mean, pandering is pandering. It's a different kettle of fish.
But that melange of awful above manages to transcend bad design into a class of its own. The pizza cutter, the hideous funnel boots, the pizza satchel, the bucklers on his elbows, his chimney trousers... Yergh.
F.A.N.G, from Street Fighter V. Just look at him.
Tracer, from Overwatch. A character so utterly by the numbers that the only things memorable about her are the controversy over her ass, and the catchphrase that you couldn't avoid if you saw their marketing at all.
Oh!
F.A.N.G might be the winner so far. A lot of the character designs here are awful because they're so overly adorned with random shit that it just breaks all cohesion with the character. I mean, there's a lot of room for error if you have that many elements to your outfit.
F.A.N.G, however, manages to be just awful despite his minimalistic design. He's like a stretched out purple Chinese stereotype.

Doesn't gat any worse than this trio of space slags.
Laughable.
This is a worst character design thread, not a thread for broken hearts and fanboy dreams
You mean the battle cocktail dress with tights, that lost the tights and turned into a bikini when it got sprited? (Probably an improvement, Amano's design would ride all the way up to her belly button in around the first ten seconds of a fight.) The one whose special attack leaves her naked and glowing?
Your tolerance for "I'm supposed to like this, and also like it" has declined since reaching adulthood. Doesn't make the new stuff good, but also sure doesn't make the old stuff any better.

Maybe it's just me but if some of these posts are "absolute worst", I question what you would consider average talk less of good design.

These overly sexualized designs will always baffle me given who they came from.

Gotta agree with this. Too much clutter and the weapon just ridiculous.

The main character was quite ugly
He is ugly ,but that doesn't mean its bad character design.
He looks like a warrior rather than a super model.

Yeah, I'd go with Tidus. Playing as him never felt 'cool' at all.
