That one character.

Is there someone in the gaming universe you just groan and moan at when they appear on screen? Like, in your mind, you're begging them to just leave? Well, in Sonic Heroes, I hated whenever I saw Tails...now believe me, Tails is a cool character, in my top 5 of fav Sonic characters, but his voice in Heroes was just awful...sure he sounded like a kid, but I just didn't approve.

Any characters you just dislike seeing?

Kusayama in Nocturnal Illusion. Idiotic drunkard with an annoying "us [gender] gotta stay together" attitude. I guess it goes in any eroge that male NPCs will be unlikeable. Suppose it's meant to juxtapose the PC. Awkward, really.

Vanitas, in Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep.
He taunts Terra, Ventus, and Aqua, and he is a complete BASTARD to beat! EVERY... SINGLE... TIME!

Tidus in Final Fantasy X (and not in Dissidia/Duodecim, I don't mind him all too much there). Other than him being generally annoying, what really bothered me about him was his role as the unreliable narrator of the story, constantly saying "This is my story!" and trying to center the story on himself when it was really about Yuna. Final Fantasy XII did this to a lesser extent with Vaan, in that the story was really about Balthier (and Ashe), but the difference is that Vaan doesn't really urge that it's his story, he's just riding on ambition. Tidus, on the other hand, truly believes that the story is his and that he's the hero, when one could easily simply say that he's just along for the ride (though it's not to say that he has nothing to do with the story). It's that persistent lack of self-awareness, as well as the lack of character progression, that really makes Tidus hard to like.

This isn't a problem in Dissidia/Duodecim, because in some sense it is his story (as well as the story of every other warrior of both Chaos and Cosmos), and at the same time, it's not about him at all. More, the urgence isn't really there, and he's free to develop in this mostly unrelated world free from the chains of development that Spira/FFX/-2 had him restrained in.

I'm sure there was a topic that was "most annoying/useless character" just recently. Don't want to repeat myself or sound like a hater (I do hate the kid though) but I'll keep it short and say Emil from ToS2.

Konohamaru in any Naruto game ever. Part 1, at least. I hate his stupid hide-and-seek missions. They're pointless.

Meta Knight. I liked him better when he just showed up on occasion.

The S.H.I.E.L.D agents; especially Maria Hill from the Marvel: Ultimate Alliance games. It's like, go away, you talk so much trash but in the end, you don't do a flipping thing except be an annoyance to us all. Ugh.

I'm pretty sure I've said this before in some other thread, but this ***** right here.

Word. And her attitude is unbearable.

She's all; "Just because Nick stepped town, I'm top dog, surrender Steve."

I wish I had chosen to side with Cap in my first playthrough.

Yeah exactly; I was hoooping to at least fight her, but nope! Game won't condone violence to annoying second in commands. :3

Alexi from Command and Conquer: Kane's Wrath

Everytime i see her and she says she doesnt trust me, i just wanna punch her. Then in a other mission she begs that im not like CABAL (the Nod AI in Tiberian Sun: Firestorm who murdered dozens of humans with a cyborg army) and cries a bit. Once again, i wanna punch her in the face, though i cant cause im a AI in Kane's Wrath so i have no sodding arms...

Ugh... there should have been a mission where i could execute her >_>

For real... I wanted to toss her around like the Hulk did to Loki in the Avengers movie.

Larry Butz from Ace Attorney games. He is annoying, his music is annoying and his contributions to the plot are often really stupid.

I hated Lightning Farron's Dissidia Duodecim self. Although I cannot say anything about her FFXIII self (I have never played FFXIII), in Duodecim, she was just evil to Kain and the Warrior of Light and didn't give them a chance to explain their motives. Sure, WoL tried to attack her, but his reasons were actually good.

Also, I have a strong dislike for Severa in Fire Emblem: Awakening. SOOO RUDE! She has her reasons (inferiority complex much?), but still, she's rude. Same with Maribelle, only she has no reason that I know of to act like a spoiled brat.

Well, given the nature of what they were doing, I think that anyone would have responded the way that she did, especially since what they did seemed evil. There really was little room for interpretation, since what they were doing, to the Warriors of Cosmos, seemed like one of the most despicable actions that they could do, especially when you take into consideration a certain conclusion that Kain comes to about the matter.

Not to mention that the two weren't actually so open about it themselves. The Warrior of Light attacked first, and often times when asked about why they were doing what they were (including by Lightning) they would play The Quiet game, so I don't really think that the blame is on Lightning.

Ashley from Resident Evil 4. Moron never did anything helpful, except drive a freakin' bulldozer at one point, which was random af. I get I'm supposed to be saving her but, but seriously, how about instead of crouching when the Ganados come, you actually move? Having her put on the armor and then infinite launching her butt was satisfying.

Ahh, you're right. Never thought about it that way. Thanks!

I still don't like Maribelle or Severa, though. XD

I really don't like Falco from Star Fox. I know he's supposed to be a jerk, but, well, it works. I just want to punch him.

I HATED those missions. Turned me off the game for good.

For me, it's pretty much every RPG character from Final Fantasy X onwards that got a voice. I can live with Falco's jerk-ish behaviour or Fi's constant hand-holding, but when you have to hear them speak every scene...
