Worst Playable Characters

Who do you think are the worst playable characters?

I have to say JiggyPuff in all of the Super Smash Brothers games. Her defense is awful and if her shield breaks, she is KO.
 
Cait Sith (FFVII), Squall and Cloud (obv), most of the Guild Wars characters to be honest (the game is good but seriously, you can't fight in BDSM gear and with bazongas that big)

Mega Man! Cause come on.... Spikes Kill him! what a noob

That actually makes sense and gives the game a bit of a realistic feeling. Megaman games are made to be hard. I am sure Capcom made it that way because some gamers take the easy route. The gamers would touch the spikes on purpose just to get past enemies if the spikes were not an instant kill.
 
about 60% of all final fantasy characters (and im being nice)
Lucas from Indigo Prophecy (guy's a total loser imo :/)
Toadette from mario kart (seriously.... toad really needs a female counterpart... seriously o.O)
Most sonic characters outside of sonic, tails, knuckles, and blaze (sonic rush was fun as shit)

Squall and cloud? I didnt like cloud he seems tryhard but squall was pretty genuinely cool.

;(
 
Cait Sith is a god if you actually use him, even though he only has two limit breaks. And I KNOW you didn't just say that 9999-damage-dealing Cloud is a bad character!

The worst playable character in a game would probably be Deku Link in MM. Bluh.

9999 damage dealing Cloud is a bad character.

He is OP.


Squall was worse though, with the right junctions he can solo the second half of the game.

I agree megaman was like the best platform game back then... and still is to some degree

Any character from FF5. That game sucked.
Hey! That game was actually decent.

Also, I fell in love with the pirate Faris. She was a tough acting woman. Reminds me of Paine basically from FF X-2.

Totally agree. I find that the people who don't like him are the people who like insta- iconic badasses (like Cloud). In my opinion though, Squall was the definition of cool in that game. I hope they release it on PSN.

One of the worst for me was Sherry Berkin from Resident Evil 2 - no guns, no knife, no health, no fun.

Oh and Quina from FF9. WTF was that?

It was the English translation patch. It hadn't been released in the US at that time.

The GBA re- release was fun, but they got rid of Faris' accent :huh:

:crazy:

he and cloud were essentially the exact same character archetype except one talked more

ah i'll drop it or else this will become a "OMG CLOUD V SQUALL LOL" argument
