  BLAST from the PAST: Top 10 SEGA babes! (2/2)

  Now that we went through first batch of lovely SEGA Gals. Now it's time for premium! These are the best of the best ~SEGA bishoujos!~

  4.

  

  Honey「ハニー」

  The gothic lolita from Fighting Vipers. Honey is a fashion student with a very pleasant and care-free attitude. Honey designed her own trademark plastic "Fairy Suit" and decided to enter the Armstone City fighting tournament as a way to promote her own fashion design line.

  

  A taste of honey

  The character Honey and her look became a phenomenon in Japan. Surpassing by a great marging the popularity of the actual game itself. Even to this day a great deal of fans cosplay as Honey in Video Game conventions and other such events.

  3.

  

  Hong Xiuying「紅 秀瑛」

  The Master of the Man Mo temple in Hong Kong. Xiuying conceals her true identity under the alias of "Master Lishao Tao". Xiuying holds very dear her chinese cultural roots and traditions. She's a practicer of Taoism and a fervent student of chinese history.

  

  Xiuying is a master martial artist and a very calm and collected person. She mopped the floor with the reckless Hazuki boy. Her dignified beauty and elegance makes every other girl in Shenmue look like cheap street hookers.

  2.

  

  Tyris Flare「ティリス・フレィアー」

  The scantily-clad amazonian warrior from the Golden Axe series. She sought to get revenge for the death of her parents at the hands of the brutal Death Adder. Tyris' clothing, or should I say "lack of" never really left much to imagination. Plus the fact that she can kick all manners of evil arse makes her one of the most memorable SEGA babes.

  
  Tyris Flare in Beast Rider
  

  Tryris is looking as hot as ever for her new game Golden Axe: Beast Rider. Too bad I can't say the same thing about the actual game.... >_>

  1.

  

  Sarah Bryant「サラ・ブライアント」

  The femme fatale from the Virtua Fighter series. Sarah is the eldest daughter of the rich and powerful Bryant family. While investigating the mysterious circumstances surrounding the accident of her brother Jacky at the 1990 Indianapolis 500. She was kidnapped and brainwashed by a secret organization called "Judgement 6". Sarah then was sent on a mission by Judgement 6 to the World Martial Arts Tournament to kill her own brother Jacky.

  As with the third installment of the tournament Sarah has fully regained her memories and has resumed her life as a heir of the Bryant family. However she has yet to come in good terms with her brother Jacky.

  

  Sarah can be cosidered SEGA's first sex symbol. Uncountable fighting game female characters have clearly been cut from her same cloth. Sarah also keeps looking better and better with each installment of Virtua Fighter. She looks simply astonishing (and also a lot younger) in Virtua Fighter 5.

  All-Time

  

  Hibana「緋花」

  The cool and sexy futuristic ninja from Kunoichi. Hibana is a kunoichi currently working for the Japanese government. Her mission is to eliminate the members of the Nakatomi Corporation who are seemingly unleashing hellspawn all over Tokyo. Hibana must also recover the shards of the legendary cursed katana "Akujiki" that Hotsuma of the Oboro clan used to seal the hellspawn after his battle with Hiruko.

  

  Alongside Hotsuma from Shinobi. Hibana is one of the coolest SEGA characters around. She's the epitome of sexiness with her perfectly built body, tight outfits and cool ninjitsu moves.

  While you can easily go with Sarah or Hibana to determine the best SEGA babe of all-time. since they're basically equals in terms of sheer beauty. I choose Hibana personally because of the whole coolness of her character. Hibana is so far the last one in a long tradition of SEGA ninjas. and like Hotsuma, she more than lives up to the high expecations of being a Shinobi character.

  Runner-ups

  So what about the rest of the SEGA Gals? Here are some those gals who were close but didn't managed to get into the top 10 list:

  

  Linda from Zombie Revenge

  

  Krystal from Dark Wizard

  

  Save Gal from Phantasy Star II *rawrr*

  

  Elektra from Bare Knuckle II

  

  Genie from Dark Edge

  

  Rent-A-Hiroko from Rent-A-Hero No.1

  SEE YOU NEXT GAME!

  BLAST from the PAST: Top 10 SEGA babes! (1/2)

  

  As we continue to wait for the end of the month I though I do something to set up the mood. So I decided to pick off the best beauties to ever grace the SEGA gaming scene.
  

  I know there's probably nothing more geeky than going over video game "babes". but lets all indulge ourselves and have some fun here.
  

  So after a careful selection I present you the best of the best SEGA beauties!

  
  

  10.

  

  Janet Marshall「ジャネット・マーシャル」

  From Virtua Cop 2 Janet is an expert in subject profiling and crime scene analysis. She joined the Virtua Cop Police Department "VCPD" to avenge the death of her partner.
  

  

  Janet enjoys walks in the beach and putting criminals behind bars. She's one dedicated police officer who won't rest until the law is uphold. She's is our SEGA babe no.10.

  9.

  

  Alisa「アリサ」

  The main Protagonist from Phantasy Star. While she wasn't the first main female protagonist for SEGA (that was Orincess Kuromi from SEGA Ninja) She was regardless their first noteworthy main female character. She also holds a special place in video gaming history for being the first-ever female protagonist to lead a Role Playing Game.

  

  Alisa in SEGAGAGA

  Alisa was absent from the video gaming screens for a long time. But fortunately she makes a great come back as an important character in the Dreamcast game SEGAGAGA where she changes her role from a fantasy heroine to a moe~moe secretary. Apparently many SEGA characters have to work inside the company doing common labour due to lack of opportunities in the video gaming world. In the game the main character notices that Alisa wasn't moving her lips at first while speaking when she was introducing herself. Alisa then tells him that she had to learn ventroliquism to save on animation costs because they were very expensive at the time.

  8.

  

  Nei「ネイ」

  The legendary character from Phantasy Star II: The End of the Lost Age. Nei was the result of a genetic experiment that fused the cells of a bio monster with those of a human to give birth to a baby of an entire new race later called "NUman". In Phantasy Star II gamers worldwide where shocked by her plot twist event since it was something unprecedented at that point in gaming history.

  

  In 2005 SEGA decided to remake Phantasy Star II for their SEGA AGES line of games in Japan. For this remake the entire 80's-like anime artwork cla$$ical of the Phantasy Star series (save III) was totally redone and was given a totally different artistic $tyle. I am not very fond of the new artwork myself, but I'll let you decide for yourselves.

  Nei to this day remains one of the most beloved SEGA game characters by both the company and fans alike.

  7.

  

  Ulala「うらら」

  The skimpy dressed ace reported from Space Channel 5. When she was little Ulala was saved from a terrible accident by a reporter from Space Channel 5. Ever since that day she vowed to work at Space Channel 5 and become the best reporter the galaxy has ever seen.

  

  Ulala is one hip space cat. With the aid of her double "chu beams" she is dead-set on making the galaxy a funky and stylish place.

  6.

  

  Ramaya「ラマーヤ」

  The exotic enchantress from Arabian Fight. Ramaya was part of Princess Lurana's royal guard when her ship was attacked by the evil and corrupt Sheikh Sazabiss. During the fight, the enemy managed to abduct the Princess. Feeling responsible for the princess' abduction, Ramaya won't rest until she rescues Princess Lurana and puts an end to Sheikh Sazabiss evil schemes once and for all.

  

  Ramaya is very proficent at using magic and uses her exotic dancing skills as a form of martial arts to fight the enemy. She's the kind of girl anyone would wish to get beaten up by.
  

  5.

  

  Blaze「ブレイズ 」

  The ex-cop gone vigilante gone private detective from the Bare Knuckle series. Condecorated police officer Blaze Fielding couldn't stand idle as a powerful criminal organization was on the verge of seizing total control of her city. Blaze realized that continuing to play by the rules was futile as her superiors had all been corrupted or intimidated by the powerful crime syndicate. She then decided to quit the force alongside her partners Axel and Adam and take on the crime-filled streets their own way, armed with nothing else than their bare knuckles.

  

  Although a very beautiful woman. Blaze is a judo expert and a highly trained police officer, thus making her a ladyy not to be messed with. Blaze's favourite hobbies are dancing, reading romantic novels and beating up street punks. This blazing hot lady is our SEGA babe no.5.
