Most Hated Characters of All-Time!

Alright, so this place is has been a little quiet lately. Most of us have been playing a lot of games, and those of us who haven't been playing them have been pining away waiting for the release of Brawl, we've got less than 3 weeks until that glorious day, but it's time to get this place rolling again!

Now onto the subject at hand. Annoying piece of sh*t game characters! We've had threads about the best characters, and about the most bad-ass characters, but what about the Navi's of the videogame world? Who are your most hated characters of all-time!?

Here's my list of 10 off the top of my head, in no particular order:

1) Grunty (Banjo-Kazooie) - Not only was her "voice" unbelievably grating (like most BK voices), but her horrible character model and annoying tendency to rhyme every word she spoke drove a younger me over the edge in hatred. Let us not forget that a game so full of win and awesome was capped by a pretty lackluster and easy boss fight. I wish she stayed under that f*cking rock.

2) Skull Kid (Majora's Mask) - The Skull Kid is a god damn JERK. Not only did this idiotic little asshole steal your ride, but the little dick turned you into a Deku right at the very beginning of the game. As someone who hated the entire idea of MM in the first place, let me tell you that the opening of this game infuriated me to no end. And then there he is, laughing...always laughing and mocking you. He's a f*cking piece of wood!

3) Tali (Mass Effect) - Terrible back-story, worthless skills and the dumbest choice for a terrible accent in history. Leave my ship...now.

4) Wiki (Zack & Wiki) - Please...please die. Zack & Wiki isn't exactly the most well designed game visually anyways, but whoever came up with this joke of a character should be smacked. We are talking about Capcom however, lame and corny characters are their specialty.

5) Issun (Okami) - I get it, you like women and you're full of spunk...but mother f*cker, you're a inch tall! Yet another example of a terrible "voice" sample, although it's hard to find a good one in Okami, at least you don't have to listen to them squeak and squeal as much as Issun, who never...shuts...the f*ck...up. This game is already 10 hours too long! YOU'RE MAKING IT LONGER!

6) Every character in Gears of War (Gears of War) - Calling any of them a character is a bit of a stretch, actually.

7) Gracie (Animal Crossing) - Very definition of a b*tch. She rides into town in her fancy red car, then has you clean the damn thing, and for WHAT? Rags. Always rags. "Oh, you didn't wash fast enough." B*TCH, I've got a cramp! And even when you do somehow magically hit the A button enough to warrant a "Gracie Original" it's like some sh*t you'd find a dead hooker wearing.

8 ) Midna (LoZ: Twilight Princess) - "Tears of Light" Enough said.

9) Slippy (Star Fox) - "Help meeeee!" "Get this guy offa me!" "I GOT OOONE!" "WOOOOAAAH!" "That was close!" DIE IN A FIRE YOU F*CKING FROG!

10) The PS2 side-kick characters: Clank, Daxter, Handicapped turtle from Sly Cooper - They're all equally as terrible. At least Clank doesn't crack awful f*cking jokes like Daxter, but he's just as stupid a character. I don't even want to get into the handicapped turtle thing. At all. But let it be known that I like him more than either of the others for the simple fact that his wheelchair floats.

Edit: ALSO, every Sonic character besides Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and ROBOTNIK! NOT EGGMAN!

The only ones I don't agree with on there are Issun and Clank. Probably because I've endured a few things far worse than those two, but oh well. Let's see if I can find anything...

1) Pichu, Super Smash Melee. Most useless character in nearly any game I have ever played.

2) I'm also going with "every Soinc character other than Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Robotnik/Eggman." The rest I sort of see as...reject editions that are slowly but surely getting worse. Or Unoriginal. Or something out of a bad piece of fan fiction. Silver, anyone?

3) Moneybags, Spyro series. I know he's a character built to be hated, but whenever I see that damn bear I want to punch him in the face. Things didn't help after I watch a friend play "A Hero's Tail" for half an hour and saw him as a store clerk either. God I hate that bear...

I got ten minutes into Zack and Wiki and decided that was more than enough of dealing with that stupid ****ing monkey to last me an entire lifetime.

Shadow the Hedgehog - The most emo, miserable, pathetic, piss-poor excuse for a character ever created. Sonic Adventure 2 was an alright game, but I hate it for the fact that it brought this bastard into the world and led the franchise to it's doom.

Waluigi - Whoever at Camelot introduced this character into the world should have his testicles tied to the back of a pickup truck and dragged through Times Square. The mere fact that him and the above mentioned bastard are represented in SSB: Brawl as assist trophies is a sin. May the homerun bat make good use of their faces.

Bowser Jr. - BRING BACK THE FU*KING KOOPA KIDS! The ghost of Wendy O' demands reconciliation.

Amanda Toad - Wife of Slippy Toad. May Star Fox Command burn in hell for the fact that it managed to introduce and stick us with a character even more annoying than the aforementioned Mr. Toad.

Kiddy Kong - The beast child of Fozzie Bear and Pee-Wee Herman. Clearly the DKC trilogy ended at the right time, because if a so-called DKC4 came to life, it would have likely starred this retard, and I would likely have ended my life.

Tingle - For more reasons than I have the fingers to type. Kooloo-limpah mother****er.

Bottles - The bastard didn't invite me to his birthday party. Fu*k him.

Super Arrow - The man child of Space Ghost and Harvey Birdman, but with a smaller penis.

Croco - That annoying croc thief from Super Mario RPG. Remember how he would just jump out and steal your stuff? Maybe it's just the pent up frustration I have towards all menu based RPG's, but god I hated that bastard.

Panther - The Star Wolf team was pretty badass in SF64, but Namco's decision to add this smug Puss in Boots to the franchise was it's first step toward destruction.

Milo - A 45 year old man in the body of a 3 year old (or less). Annoying, but not so much as the shop theme in Castle Town that will NEVER leave your mind. No matter how long you try, it will haunt you the rest of your life.

You better start growing eyes in the back of your head, buddy boy. I'm coming for you.

Let's see...

- Tidus (FFX). The video game representation of every annoying teenager on the planet. Always making smartass remarks in his cracked little bitch voice, and he looks like he got vomited on by a clown. I can forgive all that, though. This, on the other hand, I can't.

- Ashley Whatever (RE4). When you expect me to save you from not-zombies and other evil things, it would be nice if you weren't such a brat about it. I don't care if you're the president's daughter, I'm not doing this for fun. No I am not trying to look up your skirt; I'm on the ground because I got shot in the chest, you stupid cow.

- Midna (TP). Just plain stupid. Yes, that's all the reason I need.

- Shadow the Hedgehog (Sonic). Honestly, I feel mostly pity for this guy. If nothing else he makes me laugh. However, until the day people stop seeing him as a legitimate character, he's on this list. And that brings me to...

- Sonic the Hedgehog (???). I'm sorry, man, you used to be cool. I didn't want to do this, but you've left me no choice. Brawl and this list are the biggest things you've accomplished in years. You need to be punished for what you've done. Until you regain your honor (never), you're in here with your boy Shadow.

- Geno (SMRPG). Aside from his idiotic design and the fact that he pretended to be a Mario character, I never had much of a problem with this guy. Until all the fanboys started bitching about how he should be in Brawl, that is. Months of that sh*t, even after the final roster was confirmed. Now I see people putting him on Mario Kart wishlists. It just won't end with this wannabe.

- Waluigi (Mario). Really now. Waluigi. I don't care if it makes more sense in Japanese, 'Waluigi' is just the dumbest name ever.

- Krystal (StarFox). The furry personification of the StarFox series' demise, and just a seriously f*cking stupid character all-around. I don't need to explain myself any further, it is a fact that Krystal sucks, and anyone who claims otherwise is a liar and a thief.

And last but certainly not least:

- The entire cast of Tales of Symphonia, specifically Colette (ToS). No loving God would allow a character like Colette to exist. Take every annoying JRPG/anime girl cliche, sprinkle a bit of lameness on top and add an annoying voice and you get this...thing (Fun fact: the same method was used to create the entire game).

*Tripping sound effect*
*0.5 second wait*
*Slowed-down tripping animation*
*0.5 second wait*
*Landing sound effect*
I'M SORRY LLLLOYD

You should be sorry, bitch.

Oh my f*cking god. Remember the other night when we were all talking about how terrible FFX was, and I said I didn't get very far in before I quit? THIS IS WHAT MADE ME DO IT! I was dealing with the game and the terrible characters up until that very cut-scene, and then I didn't even want to make an attempt anymore.

I also agree with pretty much everything everyone else has said. EXCEPT WALUIGI! And the sole reason for that is because I use him for every single Mario party/sports title just to piss everyone off. He was also a really beast boss in DDR: Mario Mix for the Cube. Say what you want about his dastardly looking mustache, that lanky mof*cker can CUT A RUG!

FFX had the worst...WORST...dialog of all time. I don't even think it was a localization issue. It was just plain bad all around.

I dunno if it counts, but those flying robots from Bioshock pissed me off, even when they're on my side.

Why didn't anybody mention Dom? That bastard couldn't fire a lancer straight if his life depended on it, and unfortunately he usually took me with him.

I feel like I should have a very large list of characters, but off the top of my head, I can only think of 2; Tidus (that one's obvious) and Cloud.

Many of you may recall that I avoided FFVII like the plague for many many years, mostly because it was so overexposed, and that left a bad taste in my mouth. I finally did play it nearly 2 years ago, around when Advent children came out, because the movie began to interest me, and I wanted to go into it with some context. So I played FFVII and I ended up enjoying the game quite a lot, but throughout the entire experience, I felt absolutely nothing for Cloud whatsoever. in fact, I was delighted when he went catatonic and left the party for a while, I wish he would have stayed that way (omg spoilarz, Aeris dies too). And when you have this character shoved in your face by gamers everywhere as like the greatest thing ever, that's enough to make you hate a character that you may have only been apathetic towards before.

I'll post more if I can think of them. I'm sure I will eventually.

As far as Waluigi goes, I love him. I acknowledge that as an idea, he's terrible. But he ended up being this character that reminds me of a villain in an old silent movie that ties the girl to the railroad tracks and stuff, and that's very amusing to me. I use him all the time in Mario Kart or whatever.

You know, after reading this, I now want to Nintendo to create a silent movie level for a Mario game just for Waluigi to kidnap Peach and tie her to something for Mario to save...

- Repta (Red Faction II) I hated this character simply because I couldn't stand his voice. There is no other explanation...... I have no idea how I could find this dude the most annoying character for so little reason.

- Nurse Edna (maniac mansion) For some reason as a kid i was terrified of this old hag. I could never be bothered waiting for Ed to get hungry before raiding the fridge and so i used to get her to chase me so that she'd leave the kitchen. 1/3rd of the time she'd actually catch me and I'd be really frustrated.

You know that's one of my favorite games ever, and yeah that dialog is terrible. That being said:

Tidus and The entire cast of Final Fantasy 7.
