Title: Favorite Video Game Character?
Post by: NotOfThisWorld66 on May 11, 2009, 06:58:13 PM
Though it's pretty self explanatory, I would like to know what everyone's favorite video game characters are.  Mine is Espio the Chameleon from the Sonic the Hedgehog universe.  In case you don't know who he is, he's a purple anthropomorphic chameleon who is also a ninja and an employee at a detective agency.  Thanks!

That would be Ryu Hyabusa.

Mine is probably Solid Snake.  "Liquid!"  "Meryl!"  "Colonel!"  "Otacon!"

My favorite character is probably Clank. Otherwise, I would have to go with Link as well.

Yea, my old SG had fun with that too :P.

The whole hero was based off of me (and at the time, I was a runner for a law firm).  I wrote his "origin" story and surprised people on how much of myself was in it (I even explained how the powers he used could be real).

Link is the Chuck Norris of Video Games.   :police:  You guys are only giving an opinion of second place.

Which Mii has that pretty locked up.  Soooooo

your opinions are now fighting for third.   :police:

Link is a noob. Captain Falcon is obviously Chuck Norris.

Infact, Captain Falcon gets every placing from 1-9001.


Your opinions are now fighting for 9002nd :D

One thing I forgot to add to Espio is Silver the Hedgehog, who is also from the Sonic the Hedgehog universe.  He's probably the newest prominent character and debuted in Sonic the Hedgehog (2006).  He is a white hedgehog with psychic abilities.
Title: Re: Favorite Video Game Character?

What ever happened to sonic just being fast and cool, without the psychicnesses?

Sonic was best when he didnt talk, had minimal _____ the ______ characters, and ran on 2D levels.
Title: Re: Favorite Video Game Character?
Post by: Ironica on May 14, 2009, 03:31:05 PM
Sonic 3 with Sonic&Knuckles attached was imho the best :)

Post by: The Schaef on May 14, 2009, 04:47:49 PM
The franchise peaked for me with Sonic 2.  I definitely didn't dig the huge influx of new weirdo animal characters as time went on.  I couldn't even name half of them now if you put a gun to my head.  There's Tails and Knuckles and Shadow, and some bat and some cat and then there's like 10 colorful blurs where the other characters would be.

They tried WAY too hard to make Shadow the Hedgehog deep and complex.  If they would have just kept him like he was from Sonic Adventure 2, he would be a lot cooler. :(

My favorite character would have to be the ogre in Ominous Horizons. I don't know his name; I just call him "Quarkey." :P

I remembered his name! It's Grendall. I hope I spelled it right.

not going to lie, yoshi tops all.... except on smash bros, then it would be a tie between princess peach and captain falcon.

Say...speaking of the Mario Bros Series, I wanted to know-Who on earth is Boo's standard partner?  Most everyone has a standard pairing: Mario and Luigi, Peach and Daisy, Yoshi and Birdo, Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong, etc.  Does anyone know?

And the same goes for King Boo;who's his partner?
Title: Re: Favorite Video Game Character?
Post by: Lamborghini_diablo on June 04, 2009, 08:07:11 AM
I dont think they have one... which is why they are never playable, always enemies and/or weapons and/or environmental hazards.
Title: Re: Favorite Video Game Character?
Post by: Master KChief on June 04, 2009, 08:46:13 AM
you can play as king boo in mario kart wii.
Title: Re: Favorite Video Game Character?
Post by: Lamborghini_diablo on June 04, 2009, 09:11:18 AM
Ah... I dont have a wii, thats why I didn't know that.  :P

Still, I dont think regular boo's do have a "partner" except for mabye King Boo?
Title: Re: Favorite Video Game Character?
Post by: NotOfThisWorld66 on June 04, 2009, 11:00:55 AM
Boos and King Boos are almost staples in Mario Sports and spin-off games.  I tend to think that generally Boo is associated with Dry Bones (Mario Party 7) and King Boo is associated with Petey Piranha (Mario Kart: Double Dash!!).  Just my opinion anyway.

I thought they could at least given Boo a female Boo counterpart like they gave Toad Toadette or Koopa Troopa Koopa Paratroopa (even though he's not female, still).  Maybe a Pink Boo...?

Too bad King Boo and Boo don't show up in a pairing in the same game accept Mario Baseball, which isn't pairings.  Oh well. :-\

I'm going to have to agree with lurch. My fav person to use on melee and brawl has either been yoshi, kirby, and pit. Even though I'm best with falco I still like using the elite three.
Title: Re: Favorite Video Game Character?
Post by: lightningninja on June 25, 2009, 07:02:23 PM
Those might be the three worst characters on brawl.  :D HAHA, jkjk.
