Faust and Potemkin are my two favorite Guilty Gear characters. Faust in general, and Potemkin for his character. They're both on the extremes of character size; Faust is around 11 feet tall and weighs less than a lot of the normal sized characters due to being twig thin, and Potemkin is hust a huge mass of flesh that weighs a few tons, if I remember correctly. They still manage to stand out from all the other characters in the series in less obvious ways, though.
Faust is a bag-headed demon doctor that swings a huge scalpel around and crouches in a manner that makes his abnormal height disappear completely. Gameplay wise, he's actually one of the shorter characters. Other than that, Faust is...weird. He swims through the ground, teleports, pulls his head off of his body and using it like a bomb, and pulls meteors out of his coat. The game explains Faust is able to do all this weird stuff by basically saying "he's a doctor". He's also bald, has seven very familiar scars on his chest, flies around like Mary poppins using an umbrella, and shouts naughty things while cutting people up.
Potemkin, aside from his monstrous, well, everything, is actually one of the more human characters in the game. He's a former slave soldier that helped to overthrow his country's oppressive government, and now works directly for the president. But the thing that really makes me like the big guy is his hobby: Potemkin reportedly likes to draw, and hates pencils that can't survive being grasped by his battleship fingers. It's one of those things that makes you go back and look at the character and getting these really goofy images in your head. If you wanna see the type of goofiness I mean, try finding the Story Mode ending pic where he holds Bridget's yo-yo.
