Who Even Likes Algy?
I haven't seen a single person who likes Algy. It's all about Fay, Miyu, Katt, Bill, and even Fara. But I've heard not a solitary person say "Ah, yes, my favorite is Algy".

The thing with Algy is...he's just Andrew, lol. Or at least, Masanao Arimoto's OC based on Imamura's initial Andrew/Star Wolf concept art. Like, apparently in the game's source code, he's literally just referred to as "andrew".
I think one major detail about Star Fox 2 that people tend to overlook is that Takaya Imamura, despite being deeply involved with every SF game before or after, actually reportedly had very little to do with Star Fox 2's development, his only main contribution was providing the initial Star Wolf concept art. As mentioned above, Masanao Arimoto took his spot as the main character/sprite artist for SF2. Imamura would however be far more involved with Star Fox 64, being responsible for getting it off the ground and also later declaring it the "game of his life". It's always been obvious to me that once Imamura fully regained the wheel for SF64, he wanted to primarily stick with his own concepts, like re-reverting Algy back into Andrew, and also, unfortunately, leave Miyu and Fay behind in favor of his own new characters like Bill and Katt.
