9! I love his look! The outfit rocks. The only thing that I'm iffy about is the sword (Only reason he didn't get a 10). He should have kept that duel Katanas as someone mentioned before. Other than that...he's great.

his design is a thumbs up. i like the armor, the sword, and the very long braid. he is distinct and looks like no other fighter. certainly better than darrius' design (not ripping on darrius as i am elated he seems to have replaced the lamer jax).

Dariou looks very interesting and his costume is quite unique too. I would give him a 9 now but he reminds me very much of Kung Lao not just from the stance but from the oriental aura about him.
