Sieger is probably one of the most underrated SNK characters of all time. He's a great design and only appeared in two games! First off, he adds some awesome variety to Samurai Shodown II as a non sword-user and Medieval knight. The way he uses his gantlet-like weapon is badass... and if you've never seen a high level Sieger player, you're simply missing out! I used to play a ton of SS2 online through MAME in the early 2000's. This one player (named VietKong I believe) made me RESPECT Sieger. It was usually my Genjuro VS his Sieger, and sometimes he'd get solid win streaks on me... I consider myself a high level SS2 player, and previously thought Sieger was a pretty slow character, so let's just say he left an impression on me. I love this character.

Visually, Sieger a cool design... and his moveset and animations speak for themselves. He really seemed like a "next-gen" character when I first played him in SS2 in 1994. His powerful fighting style compliments his appearance exceptionally well. His debut in SS2 was undeniably his best showing. Sieger's return in Samurai Shodown 6 could've been done a lot better (his SS2 sprite is eons better), but it was great to see him return nonetheless.
