Mmmmmmmmmmm,I will give a top 3 of best characters in my opinion (2.2)
1-DirkChars (Team Kinetic)
2-FSonic (Beta 2.2 sonic)
3-SSN Trio (It is not a charracter mod but it would not be fair to put them in the 3 positions, SSNsonic, SSNTails and the ugly knux)
In 2.1:
Dirk & Inazuma
And top 3 of best mods (2.2)
1-Mystic Realms Original
2-SRB2Thepast 2.0 (Although it hasn't come out yet, it's one of my favorites in 2.1)
And the better in my opinion:
3-Mystic Realms Community Edition
Although it is less than half complete, it is one of the best in my opinion.
The best SRB2 2.1 mod for me would be SRB2Thepast.
