Worst Character Ever II: The Worsening - PROLOGUE (Part I)
NihonTiger90 | 8:56 PM on 09.22.2008 35 comments


Well, GameFAQs has started up their ridiculously stupid character tournament again, and this time, I'm going to take them head on. As I promised in the spring, I am bringing back Worst Character Ever with a brand-new tournament. And to start things off, let's talk about the changes.

For the most part, things will stay the same. We're still looking for the worst character out of the field of characters that will be in the tournament. The biggest difference, though, is in the tournament bracket itself, dubbed the Worst Bracket Ever. No, you won't see it tonight, but when you do, it will surprise you in ways you never imagined possible.

The bracket is undergoing a final design, so it's not yet available. It will feature 64 characters, adding 16 more from the last tournament. The style, though... well, it is perhaps described as chaotic order. Sounds like an oxymoron, but it's not. Let's just say that things will follow the set bracket, but the bracket will be constantly changing from one match-up to the next. On top of that, some of the matches will have unique clauses - no longer will it simply be a question of which character is worse every time. I plan to tweak that main question, keeping the core of it the same while adjusting how I ask it.

As for the cast... that's where you come in. I want to hear your suggestions for who you think the worst character ever is. Bam Margera, as the reigning champion, is already in. That leaves 63 potential spots to be filled by you. Whether all 63 will or now will be decided by me at a later date, but I want to hear your voice, and here's how:

To participate, simply post a comment below with the following information, one entry per commenter, please:

Name:
Series:
Why they're the worst:

The best cases will definitely make the cut. You can pick any damn character you want from any game on any system. And you can star doing that right...

pendelton21's Destructoid Blog
Name: Duff McWhalen
Series: mega Man X
Why: ...his name is fucking Duff McWhalen. Plus, he's in one of the worst mega man games EVAR, imo.
aborto thefetus's Destructoid Blog
Name: Steve Burnside
Series: Resident Evil: Code Veronica
why: go play RE:CV. you will soon learn why I consider him one of the worst characters in videogame history. I like to think of him as the videogames equivalent of Dakata Fanning because he is so goddamn annoying.
Cataract's Destructoid Blog
Name: Medusa Head
Series: Castlevania
Why: Are you fucking serious? These assholes love showing up right over pits and weaving across the screen, making the smallest jump similar to the movie "Cliffhanger".
Brian Keljore's Destructoid Blog
Damn, all the ones I keep coming up with are flame bait.

Oh well, I may have come up with a good one.

Name: Navi

Series: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

Why: HEY! LISTEN! HEY! LISTEN!
Puppy Licks's Destructoid Blog
Name: Catalina
Series: Grand Theft Auto 3 and San Andreas
Why: She was an absolute psycho, the epitome of the girlfriend from hell. Also, THAT BITCH DROVE ME NUTS!!!
Guagloves's Destructoid Blog
Name: Ashley

Game: Resident Evil 4

Why: Having to babysit this girl through the majority of this game was a really annoying mechanic to an otherwise excellent game.
F Whipple's Destructoid Blog
Name: Kano
Game: Mortal Kombat vs DC comics
reason: Who in their right mind puts in Kano over Johnny Cage or Kung Lao. Sure he may be "evil" but let me ask you, what's more evil, killing people or punching a guy in the balls?
aborto thefetus's Destructoid Blog
oooh who's the guy from alone in the dark? Because I would like to nominate him as well.
roninnogitsune's Destructoid Blog
Name: Squall Lionheart

Game: Final fantasy VIII

Reason: Simply put out of all the Emo FF heroes, he's the worst. His dialog is painful as he whines to high heaven about not giving s shit. his fighting style is just an excuse to add a twitch aspect to a menu based fighting system and finally he ends up in one of the most depressing and fake relationships I've seen. I can't think of any character that bugs me more... though he had a neat weapon.
Guagloves's Destructoid Blog
@Aborto TheFetus

That would be Edward Carnby.
MrSadistic's Destructoid Blog
Good to see the series starting up again. Had fun on the last one. Anyway...

Name: Mark

Series: Persona

Reason: If you've played Revelations: Persona, then you know how much of an annoying bastard Mark can be. In the American version, he became a confrontational, stereotypical black guy who spouted nothing but Ebonics. Every sentenced he spoke (or I've read) made me want to stab him in his fucking face.
mispelt's Destructoid Blog
Name: Natalya

Series: GoldenEye 007

Reason:
Me-- "Man, I love this game. Let's go be awesome, Natalya."
Natalya-- "I've already been shot in the head"
Riser Glen's Destructoid Blog
Name: Cammy

Series: Street Fighter

Reason: Cammy sucks
Puppetpallmich's Destructoid Blog
Name: Cammy

Series: Street Fighter

Reason: Cammy sucks
Buster's Destructoid Blog
Name:Cammy

Series: Street Fighter

Why they're the worst: She is a poison, she ruined what was once a great series, and everyone would be happer without her. she's not good at anything, she's weak, she's generic, she's actually a guy, if she bent over, he torso + "her breasts" make up a penis. anyone who likes cammy therefore likes penises. every other character ever made in every game that isnt even street fighter is better than cammy.
MATTFOO's Destructoid Blog
Name:Cammy

Series: Street Fighter

Why they're the worst: She is a poison
Buster's Destructoid Blog
also cammy is the reason the dreamcast died.
Buster's Destructoid Blog
look at what happened to yojimbo once cammy touched him. he was once a cool shit talking gentlemen... now look at him... LOOK AT HIM...HE'S HIDEOUS


I CANT BARE TO LOOK AT IT
Buster's Destructoid Blog
weird, the picture didnt load

Riser Glen's Destructoid Blog
I went to go play Super Street Fighter II Turbo and some douche picked Cammy and ruined it. I only get one night a week to play Super Street Fighter II Turbo. ONE NIGHT A WEEK.
Buster's Destructoid Blog
here is a textbook example of cammy lover syndrome

lucashoal's Destructoid Blog
Fucking Altair beat Guybrush. That poll is rigged (the Gamefaqs one)
Funktastic's Destructoid Blog
What's with all the Cammy hating? o_O Did I miss something? On to more important matters though . . .

Name: Waluigi
Series: Anything Mario after like Mario Power Tennis I think.
Reason: For god's sake! He is possibly the WORST character ever. His look, his retarded hat, he's fucking PURPLE for god's sake! His gay mustache, his annoying laugh, and basically anything he does in any games featuring him. Wario was a good "clone/arch rival" whereas Waluigi is just plain awful. I mean his power shot in Mario Power Tennis was a freaking stupid swimming pool . . . like . . . COME ON!
Blue Ryd3r's Destructoid Blog
Who: Carth Onasi

Game: Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic

Why: Well here I am, in the middle of some Sith base with troopers trying to kill me, and this ass hole wants to have a conversation. And what does he want to talk about? How he's pissed that I keep asking questions! I dont want to fucking talk to you so quit stoping the action with your damn coversations. Nothing satisfies like killing all those annoying bastards at the end of the game.
Batthink's Destructoid Blog
Name: Lester
Series: Lester the Unlikely
Why they're the worst: He is a geek stereotype. He stars in a game which sounds like it doesn't work (confront your fears of animals by repeatedly getting close to them in an adventure game).
MrFwankie's Destructoid Blog
Name: Otis
Game: Dead Rising
Why he's the worst: Not only are his frequent calls annoying, but choosing to talk to him means that you render yourself defenseless (aside from merely attempting to run away). Even though you still have one free hand to fend off zombies with, Otis requires your full attention for some reason and you can attack exactly no one. Otis was a demerit in an outstanding game.
king3vbo's Destructoid Blog
YAAAY! I love Worst Character Ever!!!

Name: Dr Eggman
Game: Every shitty Sonic game
Why: HIS NAME IS DOCTOR ROBOTNIK NOT EGGMAN FUCK YOU SONIC TEAM FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
myaimistrue's Destructoid Blog
Name: Axel Steel
Game: Guitar Hero series

But Why? He is the very definition of bad charachter design. Just tasteless, proportions all messed up. Basically i blame him for the entire look of the Guitar Hero franchise. And you saw his action figure? Ugly ugly ugly.
Naim Master's Destructoid Blog
Name : Silver
Game : Sonic the hedgehog
Why : A Sonic, with even crappyer hair, NO F* SPEED , stupid "i am a gravity breaking hedgehog" theme, HE'S NAME'S SILVER, he represents the decadence of sonic ...
Yashoki's Destructoid Blog
Name: Cammy
Game: Street Fighter
Why: Just like in super smash bros, shes just a clone. A wannabe Chun Li. FUCK CLONES.
pendelton21's Destructoid Blog
OH! OH!

Name: Morolians
Series: Space Channel 5
Why: Other than the fact that their design is really lame, their voices are annoying, they're puppets of a corporate mastermind, AND they stole Space Michael, they have the most repetitive cutscenes in any video game ever.
Cowzilla3's Destructoid Blog
Name: Olson Twins
Series: Olson Twins Go Shopping or whatever it's called.
Why: I don't have to explain why, do I? They shouldn't even have videogames...
Dexter345's Destructoid Blog
Name: Mega Man
Series: Mega Man
Why he's the worst: can't shoot upward, is a total wuss

 about me




Oh, hi there. Didn’t see you enter. Anyways, welcome to my humble little blog. For those of you not familiar with who I am, the name’s Brian. I’m 23 years old and hail from Lorain, Ohio, just outside of Cleveland. I work at the local newspaper here as a copy editor, putting my four long years of college to actual use. Kind of. I think.

For those of you who might recognize me from elsewhere, I work as Assistant Gaming Editor over at Blogcritics Gaming and as Features Editor over at Tomopop. It's a lot of work, but it's worth it because I get to do a lot of cool shit with a lot of cool people.

I've been gaming since the relatively young age of around 3 and I've played plenty of games, both good and bad. I'm continuously expanding my gaming collection, which has become more of an archive in recent years as I'm focusing on collecting older, less well-known titles. You'd honestly be surprised on what people are missing out on in bargain bins...



Other than gaming, I love anime, manga, sports, movies, TV, and a whole lot more. I also happen to have something of a legendary love for Cammy, to the point that I am the site's unofficial official Cammy fanboy. And yes, I do play as her in Street Fighter and do so quite well, too.

Also, I am Chad Concelmo's B.F.F., my prize for coming in first in The Great Retro Quiz .18 - ActRaiser. Accept no substitutes. Not even Aerox.
