Hmmm, in the anime Sanosuke wasn't really fast or 'handy'.
His strongest point was his insane capacity to take damage and keep going.
So body and willpower mods are more in order then wired reflexes and an enhanced art. At the end he could shatter stuff with his punches, so perhaps an adept would be more 'true' to the char.

Always fun to create anime chars in sr though
Once made Dark Schneider. I'll see if I got the file around somewhere.

Indeed. Sanosuke really wasn't fast at all. Just really, really, really, really, [841 mp deleted by syso] really, really, really tough.
And he got the whole smashing blow thing going.

Also, a guy running around with a sharpened metal desk doesn't exactly fit SR's mood. He'd be a great character for Exalted (where such things aren't uncommon), or for some pseudo-historical fantasy RPG, since he comes from that kind of setting.

What I'd really like to see is someone from Ghost in the Shell : Standalone Complex converted over to SR .

I have Akabane from GetBackers in my campaign...I'd post his stats, but he's a "god" NPC so he sort-of lacks them. He's just around for dramatic effect.

I did originally build him and he had 1500 Karma or so poured into him. But that was just to buy Adept powers that mimicked what he can do. So it was kind of overblown. Just went for the "make up my own stats" idea after that.
