Oh, I can practically hear Josh Scorcher screaming the moment Demyx shows up on this list.

another thing about rufus is that there is a big positive about him: apparently he treats his wife very well, i mean she must have seen SOMETHING in him

Also pause at 11:40. I love how Ken and Ryo are just having a nice meal. I can picture the conversation. Ken: did you hear something? Ryu: Ahh I'm sure it's nothing to worry about. So how's the wife and kid? Ken: Great, Thanks for asking. So how did the last fight go? Ryo: I mopped the floor with him in 30 seconds. Ken I would have done it is 25. Ryo: Yeah, like hell you would have. *Both start laughing

Monokuma is probably my favorite villain in gaming. I love villains that can make you laugh your ass off one minute, and make you recoil at how fucked up they are the next minute

The Fire Emblem segment was hilarious with the FEH segway, and learning more about Oliver was cool. The start of the Tales character section was a really interactive moment for me though. GS: Have you played FE:Echoes yet? Me: Yes! GS: Do you remember Faye? Me: Yes. GS: Do you remember how she had a HUGE crush on Alm? Me: Yes... GS: And how it was her only defining character trait? Me: ......Yes... GS: That's Cheria for you. Me: ****.

Funny thing about Rufus. He actually DID train! He initially watched kung-fu movies before traveling the world and learned martial arts from various masters to see what was real and what wasn't. Despite being incredibly overweight, he's very skilled. So much so that many characters comment that he could be better if he managed to lose a few pounds. And with Undertale, I won't deny it's a special game. But I found the game to be kinda... eh. I played the game myself and while I enjoyed it, I found it to be pretty good, but not amazing. But no problems towards people who love the game to death and back.

12:34 "If I had ill-defined karate powers, I'd be screaming like an anime character too." For a sample of the above statement, watch Oscar's playthrough of Muramasa: The Demon Blade :P

The best part about Monokuma? I can't hate him at all. He's my favorite character in Daganronpa. All just because of how sadistic his actions are. Just because he's the chestmaster. Just like how Zero is in Zero Escape.

One character I hate to love is Glass Joe from Punch Out. I despise weakness, and he's so pathetic. He's a living, breathing tutorial who only exists to get his baguette punched in for the hundredth time. Yet, he's pretty damn endearing, because I get the feeling he's perfectly happy with where he is. He could quit at any time but he keeps stepping into the ring because that's just what he does. I also get the feeling he has a lot of fans who just like seeing him try. That too is adorable.

Honestly, Larry Butz's best point for me was in 1-4. He was great in that case. Then every time he shows up after that, he's shown disdain and made fun of. (or whipped) Poor guy. Glad they brought him back more recently. (Even if Datz is kinda just a better Larry)

After killing the fireflies, I had a prequel Anakin moment, "I killed them all!! And not just the men, the women too. They're like animals!!!"

I agree with Joel because hoping that they get a vaccine (not cure, thats not possible because of the state they are in) is rash, they didn't even study her. I mean, what does neuroscience have to do with immunity? If it was about immunity, then you would research her blood for antibodies or something abnormal. And besides, if it were something to do with attatching a spore to your skull, or with genetics, then it really wouldn't be possible to replicate.

The one detail about Alphys that I'm actually surprised many people miss is the part of why she set up the Hotland scenario. She didn't want the Human to leave because in order to do so, the protagonist has to kill the beloved King of the Monsters since well...Barrier. She obviously didn't want you to do that so she tries to make herself look like a hero to try and convince you to stay away from Asgore and the Barrier. I still get what you mean in the video. Though, funny enough, I actually never found interruptions all that annoying. Maybe it's just patience. Who knows, I might have a Light Blue Soul.

FINALLY SOMEONE UNDERSTANDS MY FEELINGS TOWARDS MONOKUMA!!!

I have to say that Patreon Month has been my favorite group of videos I've ever seen on KZfaq. This video was spectacular, Top 10 Dragons is still one of my favorites, and at the end of Top 10 Berserkers I legitimately cried. I can tell that you put a lot of care and passion into your videos and I love every single one of them. Thank you, The Green Scorpion, and please keep making videos.

Btw, Oscar, how about doing a review on all Danganronpa games, please. There you can say everything you want.

Green Scorpion+JoshScorcher team up: top 10 Demyx.

As I said in Top 10 Betrayals, never trust bears unless the bear's last name is Hugger. I need a hug now. Edit: By "bear" I meant Bear as their first name.

Joel doesn't have to kill all of the doctors when he saves Ellie, just the one that tries to stop him, the rest are up to player choice.

Man, TLOU'S ending became SO much more complicated when we found out that Dr. Jerry Anderson was also a father.

Cheria does have a bunch of depth though. Her compassion is her main trait. Its made very cleae through out the story. She inspires people around her. To the point where people call her a "guardian angel." While her feelings for Asbel are a big trait I personally find it to be integrated perfectly throughout the game.

New Green Scorpion video? Oh yes please

Oscar, I was wondering are you going to do a countdown on Danganronpa? Like your favorite characters, Least Favorite characters, Favorite executions, Favorite cases stuff like that because I actually want to know who your least favorite characters are?

All right, everybody has their bit to say on the ending of the last of us. Here's mine. Dissecting Elle would never have produced a cure. It's as simple a fact as that. She's your one immune sample, any doctor worth their license would do everything to keep her ALIVE. I look at the ending, at the sheer malpractice of throwing the Hippocratic oath out the window for a procedure that won't let them learn anything, and I'm baffled at why anyone would think Joel could possibly be in the wrong.

One thing about number 1 SPOILERS I actually agree with Joel's move here. the only thing that would be made is a vaccine for the out break. it would do nothing for the hordes of zombies (for lack of a better term), the cannibals/ roving biker gangs or the government and Their actions. also remember that the firefly are considered a terrorist sect so getting the vaccine out would be hard. add on to the fact that there are dozens of ways to preform brain surgery without killing the patient. then there is the fact that we have no idea it would work as it was never tested and a number of things can go wrong. this is why the ending of the last of us. there is soooo many layers that you can look at and get a completely different understanding.

This sounds like an awesome topic!

...am i just seeing things or does Roofus' stomach have jiggle physics?

Okay and on Joel. I have 3 questions. 1: Who would the Fireflys share the vaccine with? 2: Would it even work? 3: What would you do?

error at 18:30. Oliver doesn't have a unique class. Saint is the promotion for Bishop

This was a great list. Some of mine are: - Yuffie from Final Fantasy VII. You have to go through some real irritation to actually FIND her as a party member, you pretty much would need a guide or know what to say to get her in the party, and your reward for doing that is a self-obsessed, greedy kinda bratty girl detached from the actual plot who complains and bitches about everything like someone constantly asking "Are we there yet?" during a long trip while getting car sick and puking all over the back of your station wagon. And of course, there's this whole forced stretch of the game where she steals your materia and you have to go on this annoying, overly long plot cul-de-sac where you have to get it all back JUST for bringing her along in the first place. BUT I love the scrappy little cutie. She does nothing but bring annoyance, irritation and complicates the adventure at certain parts in annoying ways, but her cheerful smile, her positive attitude, her quirky spirit and her youthful exuberance of being "The Great Ninja Yuffie" kinda makes her endearing to me, one of my favorite characters and makes all the pain she brings worth it. - Mallow from Super Mario RPG. Not as much to say here as I had about Yuffie, but the main thing with Mallow is... he sucks as an actual useful party member. Because he's U-S-E-L-E-S-S. Sure he has the most magic, but all his skills suck and are generally useless, and his fragile, sniveling crybaby personality can get on my nerves, but then when you actually find yourself in his cloud kingdom and depose the bumbling Dodo who is just a pawn in someone else's game, trying to take the place of the prince, who turns out to be Mallow and reunite him with his parents and help out his kingdom, I actually find this section of the game pretty fun and it adds dimension to Mallow and finally makes him feel like an equal member of the main cast, at least as far as plot goes, when he was the most out of place and useless character in the game. - Trunks from Dragonball Xenoverse 1 and 2. It's particularly the Xenoverse version of the character as this version of Trunks is just a very annoying, idiotic, borderline useless idiot and albatross around your neck who is a horribly written shadow of himself from the actual show. This version of trunks is SO poorly written and such an epic screw-up and complete and utter annoyance, that I honestly even use him as an example because he's arguably an entirely different character than the one from the real Dragonball Z series. This one is just because Trunks is one of my favorite DBZ characters so I have to love him by default, but this game series version of him is insufferable. - Jowy from Suikoden II. There are massive spoiler reasons as to why, that I can't go into in depth, but essentially to put it mildly, you and your best friend in Suikoden II, Jowy have.. let's say, a "difference of opinion" at one point, and you can only watch helplessly as he makes a lot of bad choices for what he feels are his own personal reasons. But the decisions he makes are very human ones, and ultimately he has to find his own way in life. The heart wants what it wants, and I do feel very sympathetic for him and everything he has to put up with, as I can respect his choices simply because he's doing what he strongly believes he feels is right, and I can't really fault him. Even though it's totally breaking the hart of some of the other characters I love in the game. Shine on you crazy diamonds, Jowy. You were caught in the crossfire of childhood and stardom, blown on the steel breeze. - Fasaad from Mother 3. He's essentially like a low-key, much less relevant Monokuma for Mother 3. You spend so much of this game hating this guy's guts and he's thoroughly contemptible, and extremely EXTREMELY irritating to run into, and oh yeah, there's also the fact that he's constantly torturing poor Salsa, and animal abuse makes him completely irredeemable, but yet I just find him such an engaging character anyway. It's clear i'm supposed to loathe this horrendous, disgusting asshole, but there's just something about him that makes me admire what a rotten asshole he is.

In the last of us siduation: most people assume that they would do the right thing but when it comes down to it, most people will act selfishly

I do have one small complaint. In Larry's segment, you say he never really comes through. In actuality, provided you can translate his train-wrecks of testimonies, he does nothing but come through for you. First game, you had a guilty verdict on Edgeworth and it quite literally could not get any worse. One could argue in a sense Von Karma got his come-uppance precisely because Larry intervened. Third game, his misinterpretation of the flying woman allows you to prove the way that the body could be transported from one side of the burning bridge to the other, and thus prove an accomplice was in fact involved. Even in investigations, his involvement in the Steel Samurai show proves the killer had knowledge of the show he shouldn't have had because he saw the storyboard. He's extremely flaky but if you can figure him out, he's usually just as (and in some cases even more helpful than) even Gumshoe. That said, Gumshoe is certainly FAR more consistent and easier in his assistance.

18:56 Ahhh the good old times where Corona was just a random skill in fe

Pretty much hit the bull’s eye with Cheria :P

Somehow I knew Monokuma would be on here.

About Joel, I can understand his decision on taking Ellie and killing the fireflies as I had lost my son 14 years ago. Losing one's child is a pain and sorrow hits with such force, pain, and sorrow that most people don't recover for years.... and that's if they recover. I would never wish that pain for anyone even my most hated enemies.

Such a crazy trip in this month, and I loved every second.

Not gonna lie, I agree with quite a few of your choices, especially the #1 choice. Ohhh, the conflicted feels are real! I really enjoyed Patreon Month, and I'm looking forward to what's coming up next :)

an interesting topic. i have my popcorn ready

Okay, I have to put my two cents in on this matter... 10. Everyone hates Shinobu. And we can hope that the in-between game is good. Though I have to say, and I'm not alone on this, I had no idea Bad Girl had a dad, and he's Travis's partjner in the new game. 9. We can at least hope Demyx will be a guardian of light. 8. I can only think of one time Larry was helpful. In the trial where Manfred Von Karma was the prosecutor, Larry actually messed up Von Karma's plan by revealing there was a shooting before the time of death. This actually bought Phoenix more time to investigate. 7. This must be a throwback to Quarter Guy's most hated characters list. Won't blame you. 6. Oh boy, Never played Undertale, do not know what to say. 5. A fat character voiced by Myotismon. I'm embarrassed to say I do have him in my roster. 4. You said Laura Bailey was one of your favorite Voice Actors in games, what are you picking on a character she voiced? Not to mention my favorite part in Graces was when she opened the floodgate that is her tearducts. You know the scene I'm talking about. 3. Monokuma? ooookay.... 2. Never played Bordelands, but moving on. 1. Oh boy... So what's next? Top ten Females or Top Ten Pokemon Battles?

@The Green Scorpion “This bear”? Don’t be mad man that’s hilarious

Hey Green Scorpion I have a count down idea for you. Top 10 lovable oafs in video games.

Once I found Demyx hard, but that was because, like everyone, I was fighting against him recklessly.

I’m guilty of loving Demyx as well.

1. In Path of Radiance, Oliver does not yet has his unique boss theme. 2. Oliver does not have an exclusive class, since Laura and Rhys can reach that same class.

Joel actually does not kill all doctors in the end, the player however can choose to do so, the game only makes you kill one of then.

Alright, you win Oscar... ...I'm finally gonna play the Danganronpa games because of your videos... ...YOU HAPPY NOW!? >:-|

The Calypso twins will never be what Handsome Jack is.

*hears the word wine in association with Monokuma* .........last i checked he is an avid fan of Martini

Admittedly, I'm just kinda indifferent to Undertale. I never really got into it, but I can definitely see why people like it.

Looking back.... there are 2 characters that I have mixed feelings for: Cortana & Tira Cortana- from nostalgia, I loved Cortana all throughout the Halo franchise. She was 4-dimensional and very complex of an A.I. But Halo 5 came out, and I found some hate in her. She was our ally all throughout the games, but she turned mental and became crazy! However, as I progressed, I felt sad when I defeated her. Cortana was awesome, and she was an amazing character, then she became a psychotic sadist and then became a pretty decent villain in the series. I'm conflicted but I still hated her at one point, but absolutely adored Cortana, and I'll continue to adore her for as long as she's around. Tira- when I first got exposed to her, I thought: "this girl is psycho". Yes, she was a minion to Nightmare, and she's a freaking Harley Quinn archetype. The girl is a sadist with an affection towards crows and pain, yet I freaking love her! Her split personality mechanic in Soulcalibur IV was a fresh new way of playing the game, and her unintentional humor caught me off guard! Also, I really like her design and weapon of choice. I found some real short-lived hate for her, but after a while, I grew to find her very unique and an awesome antagonist! I wasn't expecting to like a sadistic assassin like Tira, but I do.

Yuuki Terumi That is all. He is Handsome Jack and Monakuma.

I still love Undertale!

What's funny is that Shinobu is the only character other than Travis himself to be in every game to date. Not even Henry or Sylvia can boast that because of TSA. The new trailer revealed glimpses of her in NMH3 and she had the dlc in TSA.

A "hate to love" character for me is Corrin from Fire Emblem Fates. As a character, they're probably the worst the series has gotten. As a fighter, they're AWESOME! And for me, I can tolerate a bad/non-existant personality if you can perform on the battlefield.

Can you really blame Joell? Yes green scorpion. Yes I can

For me, Brain Drain from Skullgirls is a Hate To Love Character. He does some absolutely horrible things-including turning best girl Painwheel into what she is now-and, in the ending of Robo Fortune’s (probably non-canon) story, he creates a robot apocalypse. But damn if he isn’t cool. And, also in Robo Fortune’s story, he’s actually pretty damn funny when he’s not being played seriously. *ADDENDUM (6/29/2023):* After reading this back, I'm starting to think he's more of a Love to Hate character.

From video games, I can at least say that I hate to love these characters: Heihachi Mishima: he's a terrible son, dad, granddad and overall person who only cares about power. But the reasons why I like him are his gameplay and how over the top some of his endings are about disposing his own family. Plus, he's pretty badass for an old man WITHOUT any need for Devil Gene like his son and grandson. Tekken 7 tryied too hard to justify Heihachi's actions before he died. Cyrille Le Paradox: He sucks as a villain and as a final boss. But the reasons why I like him are Nolan North's performance, the fact he's a skunk and to defend his terrible villainy and boss fight, I think that was Sanzaru's plan all along to make Le Paradox a rotten pale imitation of Sly Cooper in similar way Wario is to Mario. Captain Qwark: he's mostly useless character for the series after Up Your Arsenal. He caused more trouble than he's been helpful for Ratchet & Clank and his bad decisions lead to the births of Dr. Nefarious' and Stuart Zurgo's villain careers. But I can't imagine the series without him. And let's be honest, Qwark has some of the funniest moments in the series. Sparx(The Legend of Spyro): He only serves as the comic relief of the trilogy, even more so than Daxter in Jak & Daxter series. This version of Sparx is easily the weakest of the 3 different iterations when it comes to combat. But what really bugs me about him(pun intended), is how much of a dick he's at Cynder, constantly blaming her for her actions under Malefor's corruption. Besides the comic relief part, I like all of the performances from David Spade, Billy West and Wayne Brady gave when they voiced Sparx. Abigail: This bigass tank of a Canadian behaves and makes sounds like a car and gets upset if he doesn't know where his car is. So why the hell do I like a character as dumb as this one? Because of the gameplay, that's why. He's very different from most other brutes in Street Fighter series: he's not a grappler, just beating the crap outta everyone with fingers as big as the opponent's head. But seriously, not even Big the Cat has this stew-pid personality. At least Abigail wasn't that stew-pid when he appeared in Cody's story mode. From other media: Cinder Fall Team Rocket(anime) Bart Simpson Glenn Quagmire Cameron Campbell Ragyo Kiryuin

Shinobu actually does turn up in NMH3 as a member of the Touchdown crew and actually stays at the motel that Travis lives in, which has honestly just become the Touchdown crew's compound.

24:10 I originally thought the mastermind was killed in the first game, but I remembered that the A.I. of the Mastermind was used in the first sequel.

Brilliant job on explaining your views. You earned a new subscriber!😀

0:16 Uh...Oscar, I think Deadpool's only hate-to-love in his comics, we people in the real world just love him.

Agree to disagree on Rufus. I, unironically, love the guy. He legitimately makes me laugh.

I see you play FEH too. ^^ I overall got 92 5-stars with Easter Kagero being the latest unit which I got her on the very holiday itself.

Great list!! And I know you have the appreciation of many for trying to keep your list spoiler free but please do some more lists where you go into spoilers b/c I love it when you go in-depth w/ your lists.

With #1, I also think more about the choice that character made, when you look at the potential information that one can find in that chapter. For some, it remedies their actions.

I love the handsome jacks on the list his so goddamn hilarious

"I don't respect you as far as I can throw you" At best, Anikin can force throw Rufus as far as two inches

I think the reason Demyx's dance water, dance move implies that he makes multiple clones of himself that all have the same skill while he vanishes.

I love Monokuma and honestly what he says about Makoto and Kyoko was supposedly so graphic that the line was removed (intentional joke)

*snort* I’m the Alphys of every friendship group I’m in. I will need attention and to feel useful so badly that sometimes I will do stupid things XD

There’s an interesting detail that I heard a while back that made me realize something about Joel. It was kind of a good thing that he stopped the fireflies from killing Ellie. (this doesn’t forgive him far from it) But the doctors were idiots. The whole point of the zombie apocalypse in the last of us is about a fungus and you don’t make a vaccine for a fungus infection. This also means that if they want a cure for the fungus, they don’t need her brain they need her blood. So another words, the firefly doctors were going to kill the only cure for humanity, because of their own incompetence if Joel hadn’t shown up to stop them.

26:18 And Oscar finally learns what number 3 is really all about.

I am a simple man. When I see new Green Scorpion upload, I clicks it.

When I saw danganronpa I thought It was going to be Hagakure

I supported Oliver and Olivia together in heroes

Just found this (via a recommendation from a comment in a video of joshscorcher), and I'm a bit disappointed you didn't mention one of the most absurd things about Demyx. What's the best way to beat his water clones? With fire magic. No, I'm not joking. You beat WATER with FIRE. Even on his replica version on critical mode. That's one of the most logic-defying moments I could remember in any game. P. S. I personally find him to be cool, but I see why some people hate him.

...... I do kind of like Cheria. But it’s less on how she is a compelling character and that I just like the tropes she represents. I was at a very weird time when I was young and seeing love being optimistic was something I did enjoy. Being older I am now pretty damn jaded by the term and my ideals on love had change, but I do still like these characters nonetheless. And hell this isn’t the the first character in the tales series that I felt like this. And I think that’s mostly because of the first game I was exposed to was Symphonia Dawn of the New world and liked Martha in it. And how the 2 are pretty damn similar. I dunno if these are just justifications on liking shitty characters or some sort of psychological reactions at play but that’s all I got for that entry. The others are head scratchers but could understand why.

Why did you put Risky Boots in the thumbnail when you didn't even mention her.

10: Errrr... Ummm... Yeah... It's not a bad start. 9: Okay, from my experience... The Demyx rematch's "hard and cheap difficulty" wasn't there when I faced him in KH2. Heck, the water clones were a BREEZE to deal with. And his personality is alright! So... why do people have issues with him... Oh, right. Some people had no idea that you could utilize Triangle so that you can clean off the clones. Paying attention pays off, you know? 8: Oh, come on. Larry is certainly a clumsy goofball, but... I still enjoy seein' him sometimes. Even if one of these "sometimes" involve: - Trying to mimic Santa Claus in AN EMBASSY, As the Steel Samurai no less, while trying to impress the person who was supposed to play the Pink Princess (Of course, NOBODY expected the Oldbag), - Sketching Sister Iris apparently FLYING OVER A BURNING BRIDGE, along with the whole "Time travelling"-majig, - Tried to save a bride accused of murder by FAKE BOMB THREAT, while being CHASED BY THE COPS while trying to find Phoenix's offices - Acting like a doofus in court (TWICE- No, THREE TIMES) - Oh, and trying to make a NAME CHANGE Convincing... Which wasn't. The list is big, okay? 7: Well... He's certainly a bit of a BIG talker, eh...? 6: I honestly was okay with Alphys when I played Undertale. Heck, she has a small, albeit good, deal of development of her character in the True Lab. 5: OH, COME ON! Why are you- Oh, wait. THAT Oliver, not me... Seriously, though... This is borderline Weeeeeiiiiird. 4: She's not so bad in my eyes, honestly. She won't beat the ever so awesome Pascal... Or Tear, Or Magilou, Or Velvet the Badass, but hey. And I won't get mad at you, don't worry. 3: Oh, well... Lemme go and say "HI". **cracks Knuckles** 2: Yeah... "HANDSOME". And by Handsome, we mean backstabbing, petty jackass... Then again, considering the fact that Pandora made Patricia Tannis a bit too obsessive about being bothered by the smell of bacon... Yeaaaahhh... 1: ... Huh.

Excellent list. I don't have a hate to love list, but if I did, Handsome Jack would undoubtedly make the top 3. Although I would have to put Claptrap on that list as well. He's easily one of the most irritating characters in gaming, but god, I can't help but love him. The grating voice, the desperation for friendship and validation that seeps into almost every interaction with him, the sheer stupidity that he frequently demonstrates, his near uselessness in almost any situation that isn't the Pre-Sequel, and the fact that he treats you like you're his henchman despite the fact that your character could effortlessly kill him if they so chose, are all character traits that individually would make virtually any character unbearable. And yet Claptrap does it so well that I can't help but love the obnoxious little jerk, and feel incredibly embarrassed for doing so.

On the number one pick, I’ve honestly always kinda agreed with Joel, to a degree. I understand why Oscar and Josh dislike him, but there’s something about that’s so understandable and even relatable to me. Maybe it’s how true broken of a person he is, maybe it’s the fact that he was sent on a mission only knowing half the facts, but I can’t bring myself to hate him. See him as villain, maybe, but those flaws endear him in a very human way.

#9 Ahh i see you too enjoy the Bard of KH. xD #5 your dead to me Scorpion. I don't hate to love him, i hate him in the name of recruitment possibility and how he's still alive in RD. #4 Out of all the characters, she's my #1 least favorite with Hubert being #2.

A list like this, my number 1 would be King Knight. Playing through his campaign, I actually grew to like him. He has potential, he has strength, smarts, courage, the works. But he's also selfish, spiteful, and has no empathy at all. The ending...was to be expected, given the way he is in Shovel, Plague, and Spectre Knight's campaigns. Yet it still hurts. The subjects and support he garners, they all meant nothing to him, all just a means to an end.

Oh this should be good. Thanks for the upload Oscar!

I never hated Demyx, I love his slacker personality, and also the reveal that it was all an act (cause he was just pretending to have a heart) was the cherry on top (for me). Never had any trouble and his fight, mostly cause I enjoyed the game so much that I accidentally Over Powered Sora (explored the world like completionist and just kept grinding like how I play Pokemon). I don't hate Joel, mostly cause he's just being true to his character. But if I were like a member of the Firefly (or in their situation, try to get the cure and stop this apocalypse), I would be just like Abby from Last of Us 2, driven by rage for Joel.

For me, one hate-to-love character for was Mimi from SPM: She’s a bitch and the whole broken-neck transformation made me really uncomfortable. But honestly, she’s annoying in a way that, I admire it. I can’t explain why, maybe her design..

I swear to god Rufus is if Farva from Super Troopers became a martial artist

Damn... if I couldn’t agree with your number one pick any more. Great list as usual man-I’m a recent sub of your’s and I’m really enjoying your lists and two cents on franchises I enjoy. But when it comes to Joel- is when I feel I’ve truly found someone who sees it somewhat as I do. (Rant incoming: you’ve been warned)He’s a well done character, his actions-as evil as they are; make sense and fit well with his established character traits. Yet they pull the oh so famous “is one life worth billions” NO!! If you missed the first part NO! I WANT to feel sorry for him-I really do. Yet what he pulls is so entitled, so egomanically selfish, so heartlessly whiny and cruel. I just CAN’T, I may be on no moral high ground when it comes to this but JESUS. “WWWHHHAAA My daughter is dead though literally everyone around me can understand my pain but-but I wanna sacrifice the world so what of the thousands of innocents I kill to save ONE PERSON. THOUGH I HAVE THE AUDACITY TO LIE TO HER FUCKING FACE ABOUT IT ALL JUST TO COVER MY ASS!!!” Yet I admire how well-done he is, he’s so imorally irredemable yet an interesting character I’m genuinely impressed how the developers managed to make me care. Considering he’s someone whose is so self-centered that he caused the death of the world.

Going off your criteria: In no particular order: Emi (Lock's Quest) Lloyd (Tales of Symphonia) Xion (KH franchise) The Rat (Stronghold 1) Nuzleaf (Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon) Gangrel (FE: Awakening. Sorry, can't bring myself to hate him). Issun (Okami) Fidget (Dust: An Elysian Tale) Grimoire Weiss (NieR) Kalrow (Asura's Wrath)

The very fact that Joel's number one on your list is a big reason why a lot of us consider The Last of Us to be a brilliantly written game. Basically the survival tragedy that The Walking Dead could never be.

Finally you addressed Cheria. It's definitely more of a hate to love than love to hate (for me the latter is Anise, how about you?) Cheria lacks the character development many such characters need, she isn't the first one either, Natalia is also in a similar situation and I like her a lot. But I like Leia the most, and now I know why. She's easily my favorite girl from the franchise because of how endearing she is, even though there are girls I should like for the same reason I like the guys, like the female Jade that is Magilou. Dare I say, I even find Leia more attractive than "superbabes" like Judith and Velvet, simply because I like her character so much. She might just be my absolute all-time video game waifu. On that note, how about a list of top 10 Tales of characters? It might just be the franchise with the best characters in the genre.

Uggggghhhh, Alphys was my least favorite character in the game. I've seen comics that put her in a better light, but she's just really unbearable.

When I saw the thumbnail of this video, I honestly thought that Risky Boots would be on the list.

Whew... that took a while

I actually really like the instant kill all out attack from Caroline and Justine. The mechanic is really fun and the attack is so dam cool.

I don't know about all of you but I wouldn't have done the same thing Joel did

I'm quite glad for the explanation for number 1. It's the same complicated feelings that I had.

The title character from Legacy of Kain can fit this category. In his youth he's selfish and arrogant and only cares about ridding himself of Vamperisim, but insightfull and charismatic when he's older and accepted his "Dark Gift". If not for the antagonist's being much worse threats he'd be the villain, but his desire to overturn the fate that's been manipulated onto Nosgoth by them. Even if it is for self surviving reasons. Puts him in the Anti-Hero slot with the more well meaning if equally self-righteous Raziel, who we see first hand suffered greatly in Kain's gamble against artificial destiny.

I think we all just witness green scorpion mental breakdown during the demyx boss
