Best animated Sprite character ever

Yeah, Osman is kewl, alltough I would go as far as saying they are about even in animation quality.
Also, Daraku Tenshi, Shin Gouketsuji Ichizoku Toukon, Rage of the dragons, Super Gem Fighter and Waku Waku 7 are worthy of mention.

For Osman, I was thinking of the female fighter, actually. Great animation.

Rage of the Dragons and Waku Waku 7...eh, very sparse use of colors. Granted, I've got nothing against the Neo Geo's limited color palette, but there are better looking sprites out there. For example: anybody from the Last Blade games.

Daraku Tenshi

Ah, the Fallen Angels! Of course... that game often runs choppily on my computer, as well as every other Psikyo game that isn't Strikers 1945 or Gunbird.

Tis a damn good game, even if it is a bit unbalanced (Ruccio Roche basically owns all), and the bosses break the biscuit for SNK-esque cheapness. Very awesome to look at, I concur.

I gotta mention Alien Hominid and all of his wacky animations. Jumping on an FBI agent's head and eating it off = Priceless. ;D

Yes, Waku Waku 7 surely lacks colors....

Elevator Action Returns has some smooth animation considering the year it was released, and my memory might be a little cloudy, but I remember JoJo's Bizarre Adventure looking quite good on my Dreamcast.

A bad choice of words on my part; it's doing what it can with the hardware.

Hey, maybe some people like pastel swordsmen. I think it's kinda childish and unrefined looking, myself.

Hehe, don't sweat it. I was being a bitch anyhow. I just like it when games work well with the limitations of the hardware they are runing on, like Waku Waku 7.
And last blade is a great choice, thats why I mentioned it erlyer
