For years, Giant Bomb has had a prestigious award that goes to whoever they believe was the best new character from any video game released of a specific year. This time around, I thought of making a poll to who the community thinks is the best old character of 2016 is. The rules are really loose as I included old characters who are either featured in a game that came out in 2016 or are from an older game and that character's presence got really popular on Giant Bomb this year. Some of you may be wondering where Ten Count is if I'm letting characters from old games compete. Ten Count's debut was in the first Ranking the Fighters video in 2015, so therefore he can't compete. He's clearly 2015's best old character, however.

Yes I went crazy and included a bunch of choices, but it was worth it.

There is a strong case to be made for Wario thanks to the Olympics but, I think that the Old Librarian from Catlevania is better at being old.

After the Blood And Wine expansion, I'd give a strong argument for Grandpa Geralt.

From my own games that I've been playing...

Both Johnson and Garcia 'Fucking' Haspur from Shadows of the Damned should be mentioned.

It's DOOM Guy because this thread is kinda built on vaguely negative nostalgia and that DOOM game was all about modernizing the property with a more positive nostalgia that combines new and old.

Warren. Doom guy is in a great game, Wario is my kindred spirit, and The Master Librarian is a top 3 character from one of my top 3 video games of all time.

But c'mon, it's Warren.

Except that old Marcus Fenix might steal the show.

Putting Warren in the list was bound to throw actual preference out the window. I voted Someone else from SFV character because Urien is baller.

Look believe me, I love Warren just as much as any other guy, but in a "Best ____ Character of ____", the answer is always Terry Bogard.
