What Are The Worst Character Designs You Have Ever Seen?

That isn't a loli and she has bunny ears not donkey ears. The art and design are actually quite good and fitting for the game world.
Arknights distinguishes itself by having a large amount of nekomimi (animal ear girls) in the form of a race called The Ancients. The Ancients are divided up into different factions and races based on their animal characteristics and she is a Cautus or bunny girl.
Arknights isn't too horribly impressive in it's writing or world building, but for what it is it's more fleshed out than most Gacha. The nekomimi make sense in context and their aren't many terrible designs in it.
I will admit that I was too hasty on that post. I'm just not a big gacha person and seeing the ads for it constantly on mobile YouTube is just annoying for me. But on the topic of Waai Fu, yeah, she looks trashy.

I swear i'm not joking these characters are from the shame show
 
I fucking despise Other M's redesign of Samus's suit.

It's so streamlined and smooth that it comes off underdesigned compared to the fantastic design Rodney Brunet and Gene Kohler made for the Prime trilogy.

All the layers and fine details make it stand out beautifully when I have Prime 1's case out, and it's a lovely 3D recreation of Super Metroid's design, and it's a perfect representation of the first two games' art style in and of itself. I don't think people give Retro enough credit for how great the art design is for the trilogy.

I never really got what people meant by "a character's design is only as good as their silhouette" until I was looking at my Samus amiibo in front of a lamp one day and realized how utterly boring it is.

I'm so glad Samus Returns went back and used the classic Super Varia suit design, I probably like it even more than Retro's take.

My only real complaint is that it didn't come out on the Switch :'(

This design isn't that much bad, but what the hell is wrong with Joe Musashi's mask? It feels like they were trying to turn him into one of the Mortal Kombat ninjas.
