CycloRaptor 05/12/12 3:44:00 PM #104:	lots of awful choices here. cyclops and squall are two of my favorite characters! Anyway, I say Goku. I always found him to be incredibly annoying and stupid. And he is literally like, without flaw or character development or growth. His character is so damn boring. As cool as I thought a lot of aspects of DB/Z were, Goku almost ruined the whole thing. -- http://img.imgcake.com/newaccountjpget.jpg <cite>CycloRaptor posted [p:1135722] in Who is the...

KanzarisKelshen 05/12/12 3:55:00 PM #107:	Hmm...tough question. Shiki Tohno from Tsukihime comes to mind, and Lopen's suggestion of Shion Uzuki is pretty spot-on for a good portion of the Xenosaga series. And of course, a million of spineless harem leads. I find it really amusing that some people are suggesting characters like Squall, Zidane or Marche though. These are not bad characters, never mind candidates for 'worst' anythings. You want a 'worst' character contender, try someone like Aliena Shiring from Pillars of the Earth - like Bella Swan, except earlier, much worse, and without redeemable qualities and an awful backstory. Just because a character annoys you doesn't make him bad. That's like calling a villain a terrible character because you hate him for being such a douche. -- Twostuck, Homestuck RPG: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/62168402 <cite>KanzarisKelshen posted [p:1135725] in Who is the...

KanzarisKelshen 05/12/12 4:01:00 PM #113:	From: ToukaOone \| #110 I've seen everything when someone criticizes Shiki for being the worst. He's a bad version of the milquetoast protagonist archetype, newbie. Compare him with Croix Bartel from Ar Tonelico 2, who's cut from the same cloth in a ton of different ways, but manages to actually be a fun character. Shiki just...fails at doing things. It's never him that gets stuff done in any way. He's not even good as a viewpoint character because of the dumb things he does, never mind as the focus of a story. -- Twostuck, Homestuck RPG: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/62168402 <cite>KanzarisKelshen posted [p:1135731] in Who is the...

ToukaOone 05/12/12 4:17:00 PM #116:	He isn't a milquetoast protagonist though and if you thought he was you are claiming that the Tsukihime's central theme doesn't exist/wasn't executed well. Hell, viewing him through that lens is fundamentally misguided, much like criticizing a flawed detective character for being "a bad version of a smart archetype" or a quixotic character for "being dumb". Tsukihime was paying homage to the denpa genre (specifically Kizuato) where the player is frequently confused at what's actually going on. It's pointless to talk about what the protagonist does to drive the plot forward when the fundamental premise... doesn't let him. -- You're messing with me! You're messing with me, aren't you!?

shadosneko 05/12/12 9:38:00 PM #118:	From: TheArkOfTurus \| #100 Yeah, he's terrible, but it's entertaining to watch how terrible he is! I enjoyed watching Mike Dawson, which is a lot more than I can say about some protagonists. So terrible that he's entertaining doesn't make him better. It just proves that he's terrible. From: KanzarisKelshen \| #107 Shion Uzuki is pretty spot-on for a good portion of the Xenosaga series Oh yeah, that's the Shion from Xenosaga.
