-Mega Man X (I do like the MMX series, but who in the hell decided giving Mega Man a 10 year old girl's voice was a good idea?)

-Navi from Ocarina of Time

-the Reaper from the original Castlevania (if only for the fact that I couldn't goddamn beat him without ROM save states)

-Most later Mega Man bosses (I still haven't figured out what the hell a Yamato is.)

...more to come.

Barret from FF7

YOU FUCKER. BARRET MADE THAT GAME WORK.

But I really fucking hated Yuffie in FF7. If you got her, she took you on a 2 hour quest.

Professor T-Bird from Battletoads.

What a worthless little pile of shit. He gives nothing but obvious lame advice, and takes half the credit when you do well, saying crap like "Yay! We beat the big boss, keep going!!". I'd like to grab that scrawny bird by the throat and use it as a weapon if it wants to take any credit for my ass-kicking.

I don't like Cranky Kong very much either.

i do happen to hate Wario, though.

True.

Fuck you all, i liked Raiden.

Who said he didn't like Raiden? Raiden kicks ass, man! He can do that "MUTHAFUCKA!!!" flying through the air thing and his fatality in the first one where he electrocutes your head until it explodes is badass.

That he did. Did anyone else notice the creativity of the Mega Man boss names slowly fall through the floor? ("Hard Man! You know... because he's....umm, hard. And he can.... do hard things.")


-Mega Man X (I do like the MMX series, but who in the hell decided giving Mega Man a 10 year old girl's voice was a good idea?)


That was Mega Man 8, dude.

Maybe, but also, try Mega Man X4-6 on the PSX. Zero has this "HAH, HOO, HAH!", Zorro-ish kinda voice....

...while Mega Man more or less barks out this dog/frog/penguin hybrid of a squawk every time he gets hit. Or the ever funny "TAKE THAT!", spoken as harshly as a 5 year old with a dodgeball.

Intimidating.

More characters I hate:

-Eggplant fucking Wizards (Kid Icarus)

-Mr. Sandman from Punch Out. I only say this because after playing the original on NES, then getting the ROM, and finding out the control I bought to use with my ROMs ain't quite as responsive as an NES Control Pad...argh!

-Top Man (Mega Man 3). Useless.

-The old man in the original Legend Of Zelda. RoG probably saved my sanity with the "Kill The Old Man" game on the main site... it's something I'd been wanting to do since the late 80's.

-Umaro from Final Fantasy 6 (3 US). I just don't fucking care for characters I can't control.

-Princess Peach, if for any other reason, just the fact that the computer AI on Smash Brothers Melee seems to be able to beat me using only this character. And use her flawlessly. Grr.

-The red knights from Wizards and Warriors. Along with the old man from Legend of Zelda, you can't know how badly I wished you could shove your sword, hilt and all, right between this guy's eyebrows.

FF8 had great characters. Now FF7, THERE'S your shitty ones. You got a talking dog, a stuffed animal, a Mr. T ripoff, a scantilly-clad barmaid, and a faggot in a Speedo that calls people "Bubby."

God, I hated that "Bubby" guy.

No, the story made the game work.

James: I don't see how anyone can make the argument that FFVIII has better characters than FFVII. Anyway, the characters in FFVI will always be the best.

-Umaro from Final Fantasy 6 (3 US). I just don't fucking care for characters I can't control.

-With his items, he is pretty damn tough. Especially when you bring him to the Fanatics Tower.

Raiden < Snake, that is the only reason he gets flak.

Some hated characters:
Zidane (FFIX)
Crash Bandicoot
Black Heart (vs series)
Edward (FFIV)
Gestahl (FFVI)
Baldwin (OB 64)
Diddy Kong
Alucard (only in Castlevania III though)

I always hated the main character from Duck Hunt (not the dog). I'd usually end up crying in the corner of the room with the light zapper in my mouth...

...and Mario. I don't know why, but I never liked him very much. and also Barbie from Hoops.

MGS2's Raiden definitely tops my list. Kojima made a too risky move of placing Raiden over Snake in most of MGS2.

Other characters I loathe:

Toad (SMB)
Everyone in Dark Cloud 2 (thank god I rented this, the game was too irritating to play)
That ostrich from Donkey Kong Country
Selphie (FF8)
Golem (Chrono Trigger)
Mr. Dream (Damn replacement for Mike Tyson in Punch-Out)

God, I hated that "Bubby" guy.

Word.

And I hate Dixie Kong too. I don't know what Rare was smoking when they thought we'd like to play as a little girl-monkey who flies places by swishing her hair around. That hair was the biggest bullshit ever. Apparently her arms are too weak so she picks stuff up with her hair.

I hated FF8's characters. There was a whiny little teenager, his rival, the girl who resists you in the beggining but after about 80 hours of game play you finally get her, his 'clever' teacher, and other forgetable characters.

But that's just me

Personally, I liked the characters in FF7. Not all of them, but most of them.

I also have to agree with Zidane. Fucker looked like the missing Olsen twin, with a tail.

He wasn't that bad in SMB 1-3, but he sucked in Mario Kart 64 and Mario Party. :(

James: I don't see how anyone can make the argument that FFVIII has better characters than FFVII. Anyway, the characters in FFVI will always be the best.

7's characters were just really out there with their designs and personalities. At least 8's were designed with a more realistic look and personalities that were more human.


And I don't see why people hate Raiden so much. I can understand the disappointment when you find out you don't get to play as Snake the whole time. But it was a ballsy move on Kojima's part, and one that opened up a lot of potential good stories for future installments (if they're made).

I despise Tingle. I want to punch him in the head. I almost didn't get wind waker because he was in it. At least nintendo was smart and toned down his crappyness. He still sucked and drains you all of your rupees.

The main thing I didn't like about Raiden was the way he acted. He was a whiner and a pussy. Still, he wasn't all that bad. The game itself was good and you do hang out with Snake alot so it wasn't that big of a deal but alot of us would just rather play as Snake (the story would need to be different if that were the case). It's that simple. A ballsy move like that doesn't always sit well with expecting fans. Metal Gear = Snake. Not controlling him for most of the game was just wrong.

With 8, I felt annoyed by most of the characters. Their personalities weren't as out there as 7 but that is one thing I didn't like about 8. It was boring. Most of the characters were all around 18 years old and I didn't like the 90210ish type feel the characters had. It just wasn't right. It felt all poppy while FFVII was all gritty.

Yep, Raiden was a big pussy, but let's not forget that we got to use a sword and backflip over rails with him. Besides, it was important for him to be like a whiny, bitchy little kid because he never had any real battle experience. Flash forward twenty years and countless battles later, and he'd likely be a more hardened, heartless killer. Not as cool as Snake, of course, but you get the idea.

Mike

Toad is awesome

Well he was a good character in SMB 2, but he pissed me off in SMB1 and 3. In 1, all he does is basically say "thanks but no thanks dipshit, your girlfriend's not here". In 3, he jumps up and down screaming "OMG the king's been mutated, I'm a human phallic symbol..waaaaaaa!"

Schimid
Aug 1st, 2003, 02:13 AM
Yes, but all that time he was just waiting and training for the day to beat your ass in Mario Kart. >:

Admit it. You're just mad because he got that triple mushroom to come in first right before the finish line.

tingle was cool in a scary creepy 'he is going to hump you in your sleep' kinda way.

characters i hate:

fook-san (spelling - shenmue: scaaaary person, smiles like an idiot 24 hours a day

Amy in sonic adventure 1+2 : i like playing as her in sonic advance, mainly because YOU CANT HEAR HER WHINE!

the spiders in the pc game 'blood' : im not arachnaphobic, but these fuckers creeped the living hell out of me. this video game related fear of spiders passed on to thief, but not as much.

Zomboid
Aug 2nd, 2003, 09:05 AM
I agree with the spiders in blood but what scared me even more than those fucking things were the hands that you can''t get off you. I hate them so much >:

I also hate that raiden guy even though I've never played MGS because the only real raiden will always be the one from the MK series >:

Aug 3rd, 2003, 04:08 PM
Slippy the Toad. He can't do one thing in the game. He had no point aside from when he makes stuff. But he can't fly an R-wing worth shit. >:

That cocky prick double agent in Area 51 on Perfect Dark.

"Pantyhose," some bald midget guy from a SNES beat 'em up that I can't remember the name of right now. He was too small to hit, so you had to crouch. What a cunt.

The Boo's in Super Mario World.

Those asshole monsters in Legend Of Zelda for the NES that grabbed you and took you back to the start of the dungeon.

7's characters were just really out there with their designs and personalities. At least 8's were designed with a more realistic look and personalities that were more human.

Right. They were portrayed as realistic, human teenagers. Which made them boring. I'd rather play a game with a one-armed Mr. T wannabe, a neurotic ex-soldier, a foul-mouthed pilot, and a remote controlled cat riding a stuffed Moogle (even though I thought Cait Sith was kind of worthless), all of which have interesting histories, than a bunch of unremarkable kids from a military school.

As for more dislikable characters:
Kiddy Kong
Kara from Illusion of Gaia (and that whiny kid whose name I forgot)
Wirt from Diablo
Baby Mario
The bird guy from Battletoads who makes fun of you when you die
The old guy from Super Punch-Out!!! who gets to fight with a stick
Gestahl from Secret of Mana - you had to fight him like four times but he was never tough, never did anything badass, and was completely pointless
