Most Uncool Video Game Characters Of All Time

[Clownzilla]

I made this post to compliment the "Coolest Characters" post in this thread. Here is my personal top ten:

1.LoLo
2.The guy played by Corey Feldman in Double Switch
3.Paperboy
4.The Boy (from Boy and His Blob)
5.Johnny Cage
6.Vega (USA version)
7.Qbert
8.Marble (Marble Madness)
9.Michael Jackson (Moonwalker games)
10.Any of the Generic Dudes (River City Ransom)

Now, I like some of these characters (LoLo for instance), but they are CERTAINLY not cool. Also, this list is in no particular order.

[Nebagram]

Tidus
Stryker (MK)
Tails
Luigi*
Ganryu (Tekken)*
Dan Hibiki... I mean, come on.*
Raiden (MGS) (narrowly beating out Otacon, who is kinda a nerd-turned-cool and therefore redeemed, and Ocelot... the MGS3 Ocelot. senior citizen Ocelot is badass. :) )
Sakura Kasugano
Midna (define 'annoying' for me again)
All the Army Men.

*To be fair, these guys were designed to be pathetic... but still, that's no excuse.

[8-bitNesMan]

Johnny Cage??? Are you kidding me? If you had said Stryker, I'd be right there with you. But I gotta beg to differ with you on that one. Cage is the man!

[XYXZYZ]

1.Cloud
2.Sephiroth
3.Anybody else from Final Fantasy 7
4.half the cast of King of Fighters
5.Raphael (SC2)
6.DeeJay
7. The frog guy in Breath of Fire II

I'll think of more later.

[Pilotwings]

[Griking]

1.Cloud
2.Sephiroth
3.Anybody else from Final Fantasy 7
4.half the cast of King of Fighters
5.Raphael (SC2)
6.DeeJay
7. The frog guy in Breath of Fire II

Great list.

The MOST uncool guys in the world of gaming however has to be Larry Laffer a.k.a. Leisure Suit Larry.

Corey Haim was in Night Trap, not Corey Feldman. Same difference, though, but at least Feldman still works every now and then.

Since I responded, I guess I'll give you a list that is in no particular order:

1. Bentley Bear
2. Duke from Bad Street Brawler
3. Tingle from Wind Waker
4. Rush from the Mega Man games
5. Duck King from Fatal Fury
6. Myau from Phantasy Star
7. Alex Kidd
8. Dee Jay from Super Street Fighter II
9. Raiden from Metal Gear Solid II
10. TBA (I'm sure some uncool character will emerge sooner or later so I will leave this position open as "the worst is likely yet to come"). Someone will soon heed the call and claim this spot.


Again, in no particular order and the list is sort of predictable.

[Three-P]

For me, it would have to be:

10-Sherry Birkin from Resident Evil 2. (I don't care if she's a scared pre-teen! AT LEAST GIVE HER A FUCKING HANDGUN TO DEFEND HERSELF!!!)
9-Hsu Hao from the Mortal Kombat series. (50% cyborg, 50% male stripper, 100% "funny that way.")
8-Jigglypuff from Pokemon. (I'm still fucking confused as to why they put that pink, sissy balloon wimp in the Super Smash Bros. games.)
7-Cain Morgan from Eternal Ring. (Play the game. You'll see what I mean.)
6-Wally Bear from Wally Bear and the No! Gang. (Being straight-edge has its disadvantages.)
5-Torres Owens from Parasite Eve. (RPGs and gun-control fanatics don't mix.)
4-Plant Man from the Mega Man series. (ARRRGHH!!! More 360o shield attacks! Isn't Stone Man, Skull Man, and Wood man enough?!)
3-Pip from Chrono Cross. (Anyone who calls the hero, "Sergeikins," has gotta be, "funny that way.")
2-Prince Myer from Deadly Towers. (A man who looks like a Lego Knight, walking around, and peeing swords at the enemy. The thought of that hurts.)
1-Jim from Hydlide. (First, he's super weak. Second, anything can kill him in 2 seconds. Third, his name is too....dull. Fourth, HE'S IN FUCKING HYDLIDE!!!)

[77punk]

My addition to the list of uncool charatures would be-
bernard from Maniac Mansion (NES- Windows)
the normal kid (Joe) from viewtiful joe
MC Kids
Kriss Kross (sega CD)
boy (from boy and his blob)
Baby Mario (from Yoshi's Island)

[RadiantSvgun]

Titus from FFX
Fayt from Star Ocean- He whines constantly and is in love with his cousin?
The Old Man in the library from Castlevania SOTN
Most of the villians in Guardian Heroes, especially that one that looks like he has a popped collar
Lawerance Blood from Fatal Fury
Ash from Bare Knuckle 3
Ash catch'em from pokemon
Dogi from YSIII- useless!

[Poofta!]

stryker... oh god

[Push Upstairs]

WaLuigi

Lamest and most uncool character ever made.

[Kitsune Sniper]

Wally Bear.

[Three-P]

I figured I'd throw in a few "Dishonorable Mentions."

-King Trode from Dragon Quest VIII. (He barks orders at everyone, little realizing the gravity of his situation. But it is fun to see him freak the hell out of Yangus, every now and then. Speaking of DQ8 Kings, that leads us to....)
-King Pavan from Dragon Quest VIII. (That crybaby mourns for two years. TWO YEARS!!! So, because King Sniffles can't snap out of it, everybody in Ascantha suffers. Even Jessica was talking about smacking him one.)
-Minnie Mouse from Mickey Mousecapade. (She's nothing more than a fucking tag-along. Her AI is laughable, she often gets kidnapped, and if she falls to her death, she's taking Mickey with her. And all this time, I thought they were lovers.:confused: )
-Hao from Mystery Quest. (Self-respecting heroes would either collapse, explode, or deteriorate upon death. This little peckerhead stands there and cries. Either from running out of vitality or falling into some deep water. You heard right. This little bitch can't swim!)
-Cait Sith from Final Fantasy VII. (Two words: Comedy Relief.)
-Astro Man from Mega Man series. (His panic-prone nature and whiny voice made me want to destroy him that much quicker. But in his defense, his weapon can level the competition.)
-Aqua Man from Mega Man series. (Ahem! DC Comics, Lawsuit.)

[DigitalSpace]

Awesome Possum (Awesome Possum on the Genesis)
Bubsy (Bubsy series)
Carlito (Dead Rising)
Lance Vance (GTA: Vice City, and especially GTA: Vice City Stories)
Eddie Pulaski (GTA: San Andreas)
Tingle (Zelda series)
DJ Striker (Burnout 3)
Anybody you race against in Midnight Club on the PS2
Caleb (Need For Speed Underground 2)
Razor (Need For Speed Most Wanted)

[jajaja]

I dont think Lolo (if you're thinking of Adventure of Lolo for NES) was suppose to be a "cool" character in the first place, more like a cute/comic style instead.

I can add Kid Chameleon on the list. I never liked that cover hehe.

[PentiumMMX]

Wally Bear.
Ditto. Also, I'd say Mario is lame.

[Clownzilla]

Johnny Cage??? Are you kidding me? If you had said Stryker, I'd be right there with you. But I gotta beg to differ with you on that one. Cage is the man!

Lol, I say that because he is a wanna-be bada$$! He is ALL flash! I will give you Stryker though. Anybody who uses a gun for a to-the-death martial arts tournament is a loser. Although, he was the character I used when I played MK3 in the arcade (because he was fun to use).

[ShenmueFan]

Wally Bear.

The Angry Nintendo Nerd makes things like this DAMNED cool, so whatd'ya talkin' about foo?

[bangtango]

At least he (Johnny Cage) wasn't a palette swap, though! Some MK characters are obviously better than others but I can't think of any that are "uncool" enough to make a top 10. However, if you would put any on there, I'd say one of the palette swap ninjas (Smoke, etc.) or female fighters. Just because it isn't very original.

[Push Upstairs]

I lost count of all the pallete swapped ninjas.

Sub-Zero
Scorpion
Reptile
Ermac
Smoke
Rain

Am I missing any?

Maybe this needs a new thread: "Lamest pallete swap MK ninja".

[Sotenga]

Lessee... characters that I'm not entirely fond of... for some reason, a lot of kiddie designs from fighting games stand out in my mind. There's only one I want to give right now: Kinta from Power Instinct 2. WORST. CHARACTER. EVER. I can't say too much, but knock him into the air for an absolutely unwanted surprise. :puke:

[Jimmy Yakapucci]

Great list.

The MOST uncool guys in the world of gaming however has to be Larry Laffer a.k.a. Leisure Suit Larry.

Larry is so uncool that he is cool.

Noob Saibot
Chameleon (PSX MK Trilogy)

Though let's be fair here, you don't argue with the Scorp's claim to coolness.

[Push Upstairs]

My apologies to Scorpion.

[bangtango]

Noob Saibot
Chameleon (PSX MK Trilogy)

Though let's be fair here, you don't argue with the Scorp's claim to coolness.

Scorpion was my favorite character in the entire Mortal Kombat series.

His moves were the easiest to pull off. Harpoon, uppercut, foot sweep (usually multiple sweeps) followed by a jump kick. Rinse and repeat. If the computer catches on and gets a little "smart", do a couple of high punches or high kicks. If you are playing a human opponent, all bets are off! :)

He also had a mega-easy fatality in the first MK.

[Ed Oscuro]

9.Michael Jackson (Moonwalker games)
Michael Jackson doesn't belong in that list, and I think that's a fact, not an opinion (especially since we're talking about the 80s Michael, which increases your daily dosage of factage).

[Push Upstairs]

I'm gonna have to back up Ed on this one.

80's MJ is untouchable and impossibly cool.

[BHvrd]

Jigglypuff is such a bitch.

[dbiersdorf]

Bubsy (Bubsy series)


... :(

[bangtango]

Bubsy (Bubsy series)


... :(

I liked Bubsy, too! Don't let the haters get you down. My younger sister and I used to play the hell out of the first game when it was released. I was probably 12-13 when it was initially released. I always thought it was really fun :)

I always liked Johnny Cage because he reminded me a little of myself: A martial artist who doesn't want his hair to get messed up. :)

Whoa, Alex Kidd is the greatest mascot in history, much cooler than that stupid little blue groundhog or whatever he is.

MOST uncool ever objectively period the end kthx

Also:
Navi the fairy
Toad
Pichu
Lester the Unlikely
Erdrick and his annoying descendants
Bright Man (Megaman series)
Boris (Goldeneye)
Ma-Ti from Captain Planet (Dunno if he actually appeared in a game, but man he sucks)

[Three-P]

A couple more "Dishonorable Mentions" for you.

-Ashley Graham from Resident Evil 4. (Like Sherry Birkin after hitting puberty. She can't use a fucking gun, either.)
-Prince Charmles from Dragon Quest VIII. (Prince Charmless is more like it.)
-Those pig-women from Duke Nukem: Time to Kill. (I wouldn't fuck them, even after enough booze to give me a week-long hangover.)
-Vincent Dorin from Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin. (Or, as I call him, "Moe from the Three Stooges." Come on, he's got the bowl haircut, the con-artist's nature, and the comical ending lines. Despite all that, he does have some good wares.)

[Push Upstairs]

Ma-Ti from Captain Planet (Dunno if he actually appeared in a game, but man he sucks)

You mention that guy but not Captain Planet?

I like the message ye olde Cap-E-Taan is pushing, but he's a really lame super hero. 100+ uncool points for the mullet.

[Slate]

Hmm.

The jester in THUG2, Every character from the first level in bullet witch (Except for the witch) Waluigi, The burger king, And some characters from Pirates of the carribean (An xbox game that has nothing to do with the movie)

[Jorpho]

Wait a minute. We've done this before. (Assuming, of course, that ass-badness is inversely proportional to lameness.)

I mean, can you really top Amagon?

[SegaAges]

That stupid little ring master squirrel mammal at the very beginning of Little Nemo (that's right, I said it.)
The King (from Sneak King. He was more along the lines of creepy instead. The intro freaks me out making me think that the King is playing b-ball in my backyard while I sleep)
Clutch (from JSR:F He had nothing going for him.)
