...y'know, Mike, I was thinking that you might want to save the best for last.
In this case, save Sakura for the end, but only because she would have a lot of her problems fixed by the time the end comes... with the rest of them gone because of her beating the crap out of Zouken in the final chapter.
As for my vote? I might go with Arcuied... if that is who you made your avatar, lantz, just let me know.
