Essentially, is there some Rider designs that you feel were undeniably awesome, but were given to, more or less, crappy users?

I think the primary offender is Kamen Rider Gai. I didn't realize how awesome Gai's design was until I got the SHF. It's seriously one great looking design and I really appreciate it in certain poses. I kinda like it for the same reason I dig Tiger's. Black and silver is a classic color combination that's hard to mess up to me, even with the addition of other accents (in Tiger's case, blue, in Gai's case, red). But I actually enjoyed Tiger as a Rider as well. Satoru was just freakin' nuts with a chronic traitor disorder and I genuinely enjoyed seeing him literally backstab everyone because of his utterly insane logic.

When I see either of those designs, I imagine an honorable knight who probably realizes that what he's doing is wrong, but believes that the ends justify the means. Or something else that's just as self-loathing.

Except Gai was at best, a troll, and at worse, some idiot kid. I mean, I get that that was the whole point of his character but couldn't you have given him Scissors' design or something? Hell, I think Verde would be an awesome design for that type of character with the yoyo and how goofy his Final Vent is and c'mon...Verde just looks like the type of guy to troll you.
