I think you're fine but if you really are in the wrong place a mod will move the thread.

As for the thread itself, I'll go with Faust from Guilty Gear

No worries man, the mods will move this somewhere else
And if you're still not sure about it, ask @Waffles (and don't worry, he's chill)

Billy Kane. Wouldn't have even known it was the same guy without his stick.

It was such a cool surprise seeing him return to the franchise.

Also another character's redesigns that surprised me was the one of the Maximals in Beast Machines

The show is great and I don't dislike those design's in fact I found the idea interesting considering of how dark the series is, and is kinda sad that the franchise never tried again something that radical.

Man, you really get to see how bloody long the man is in his redesign.

Almost three meters long

There's a lot but my favorite redesign, had to be Samus in GBA Metroid

 

[Jotaro]

[PaleFolklore]

A subtle yet brilliant redesign, both from a stylistic and plot-related standpoint."

 

[fishboneKiller]

i remember really not vibing with aba's guilty gear strive redesign at first, though it's definitely grown on me over time. (mostly because i am legally obligated to really like aba, she's one of my favorite characters ever...)

I'm assuming this can be either about negative or positive surprises?

Here's a negative one imo, which also feels like the obligatory one:

I hated it since the day I watched that teaser, and my 11 year old self would later rant on the internet for the first time in a Banjo-Kazooie Orkut forum about it.

And a positive one:

To be fair, I didn't knew Pit before Brawl, but he opened my mind that it's okay for male characters to be on the cute side of things

 

[Glimbo]

Chris Redfield was fairly consistent in REmake, RE5, and RE6. Then RE7 happened. I remember people were thinking he was an imposter because he looked so different and Capcom had to confirm it wasn't. Glad they changed him back in 8.

At least in this case her design just kept getting better.

 

[stealthRUSH stealthRUSH]

Athena Asamiya

 

[RanmyakuIchi's icon RanmyakuIchi RanmyakuIchi]

Ooh boy, opening up this can of worms again

 

[Skeetos]

A lot of people hate these, I don't.

But Titans Coco? Absolutely garbage, this is what she looked like there.

What was the point of giving him black hair?

 

[Jotaro]

- leon from the re series

- cloud from ff7

- hayate from the doa series

What was the point of giving him black hair?

A combination of Capcom wanting something really different and Tameem Antoniades seeming being made to work on a franchise he hated.

 

[Prism_Red]

Adol from Ys series, technically it's just cover artwork.

And of course, MegaMan

Morrigan in just about every game until her 3D debut:
