To make a long story short HILDE has to be THE best female charecter in any fighting game( with an exception of Lei Fang from the Dead Or Alive sereis but that's a diffrent story)!! Why you ask?!: Simple. Just picture her as a female Seigfred, she's strong, good looking, intellegent(sp?) and really knows how to use a sword..and spear, just like DUR DUR DUR Seigfred!! She's actually a bit of a softie on the inside considering the fact *MAJOR SPOILER* she spared Seigfreds life(He commited a great sin).*END OF MAJOR SPOILER* Her armor is how should say this er FRIGGEN SWEET MAN!
I mean just look at it! As Borat would say. "'Very Nice'".
Oh and here's a video of Hilde doing what she does best.
