What’s a game character you dislike but everyone else loves?

Specifically before the reboot, Daddy Kratos is a much more likable and better written character.

Akuma. Seriously fuck that guy. "The dark Hadou..." SHUT UP. "My fist will tear heaven and --" OK... Where did the bad man touch you?

Chang and Choi. I've hated them from the beginning. Sticking Kim with those 2 losers. They're criminals! Nah they're idiots who were dumb enough to be caught. They probably suck at whatever crime they do too. Fucktards probably can't even jaywalk without a plan.

Cheng Sin Zan in Fatal Fury 2 and Special. He screams like a baby being thrown on the floor or some shit. I have to mute the sound during the match. Don't punch the damn baby.

Spyro and Crash Bandicoot. Never got the appeal their videogames always had on people.

-I have a categorical hatred of the first generation of Pokemon, especially for Red, Giovanni, and Charizard. There are individual Pokemon I like from gen one, but I despise the original 151 as a group. I'm sick of them being shoved down my throat.

-Waluigi.

-Much less known character, but Emile from Dragalia Lost had such an offensively bad 'redemption arc' it killed what remained of my interest in the game's story. His long teased 'tragic backstory' essentially turns out to be that he has affluenza, and you have to sit through the game saying people were mean to him for not being a fighter while ignoring his active participation in genocide (of a species where killing them leaves the land infertile by the way) and tearing down housing to build a statue of himself. All with no reluctance or guilt.

But we're supposed to feel bad for him because nobody told him you have to be respectable to get respect so all the murder and attempted murder is okay. And when I played most of the playerbase fell for it and got mad at the heroes for being 'mean' to him. The fandom did this with other villains including making posts about why in story genocides were totally justified, but Emile was the most outrageous.

-The 'Aztec' characters in Fate Grand Order are liked by the fandom from what I can tell, but that doesn't change them all being racist caricatures who clog up my searches for social media posts about my favorite mythological figure (I've had to apply so many filters to keep the Fate version out that I feel my hate can be justified with that alone).

I used to be so confused why everyone I knew loved Chloe from Life is Strange. She was a terrible friend,

The 13 cast is in general fairly hated, never seen someone who likes female cloud who played the older games.

The people do love Sazh, though. He's like, the only exception to the general opinion being dislike.

I'd probably have to say Alphys from Undertale. There's a lot of characters I can say, but Alphys really just bothered me with how she decided to make that section of the plot a parody of self-insert fanfiction. Sure, she's intentionally annoying. But intentionally annoying is still annoying.

Sazh is the exception, because he's the most human and realistic of the characters.

Yeah, pretty much. Everyone else is putting on an act, or is Hope. Plus, we already had Squall three times in him, Cloud from anything FF7 made after the original, and Paine from X-2, so Lightning was both not original and not really fun. I remember that everyone thought Sazh was going to be the FF13 rep in Dissidia Duodecim because of how little people cared about her.

Lightning got it due to sex appeal, which is why she's popular with a certain demo, sazh would have been a far more unique pick and probably a more interesting character to use.

Personally, I don’t like Sonic the Hedgehog. I am not a fan of his attitude and personality. He also comes off as an egotistical jerk sometimes, mostly in games from the 2010s to present day. It feels like he represents an era that’s long gone.

yeah that 'tude is from a bygone era of mascot platformers
