The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
I was playing King of Fighters '98 for an assignment, and was having a lot of fun with it... that is, until I hit a brick wall in the form of an obnoxious loli pop singer named Athena Asamiya. I never liked this character, and she only seems to get more overpowered and irritating with every new game in the series. If she wants to win a match, she'll do it, sometimes taking out all three of your team members with her teleporting and energy hurling antics. The most terrifying weapon in her arsenal, of course, is her high-pitched, Japanese accented voice which perfectly accentuates her hellishly annoying moves. "Ti-gah BAAAAAU! Ti-gah BAAAAAU!" she squeals as she pounds your fighters into a gritty paste. For my money, she's the most infuriating Japanese schoolgirl this side of the dumb bitch who shouts "SIT, Inuyasha!" every damn day on Adult Swim.
So, are there any video game characters that really get under your skin? You know, characters that somehow manage to find their way into every sequel of an otherwise great series despite their unrelenting aggravation?

I found Bao and Malin even more annoying, although Asamiya's most recent soundbytes make me bite controllers.
Hmm, I need to think about all the whiny RPG NPCs that have gotten up my nose over the years. I'm sure there's a recent encounter that made me cry hot tears of angsty nerd-rage.
Nothing but hadokens! If you get close, jump kick followed by a sweep. He will do the sweep regardless of how close you are.
It just seems no matter what I do, he will always drain me of a few continues. Even tried using M. Bison and nothing but his LK, which beats Ryu's hadoken in terms of speed getting it off and connecting, but Ryu still beats me. %^*&!
Those Z-ish blocks in tetris. I mean come on. Those things suck. They're so akwardly shaped and you never get the right one when you need it. You always get the other one that goes in the opposite direction. Yet they come back in every damn tetris game.

What would you have without them? Blocks and sticks?

Oh, good call. Gotta add the square piece too. It never was convienient.
Eddie Gordo in Tekten Tag. Everyone plays him the exact same way where they just mash buttons and he becomes a break dancing, whirling death machine. Basically the one character that is always included in a fighting game that you just wish was not there because they are too easy to play or too fast compared to the other character (Lei in Virtua Fighter is kind of a combination of the two).
Most of the cast in Xenosaga and Star Ocean 3. (this whole generation's jrpg's didn't go over to well with me, maybe it's just me.) Also, I love the Zelda games, but I really don't like Link as a character.
That stupid little bug in Okami. I was so pissed off when it escaped from the wolf's mouth and didn't get eaten alive, would of made the rest of the time I played that game a lot more bareable.
Another vote for Shadow, the character design is pretty awesome, but the actual character sucks all kinds of ass.
Alyx, Half-Life 2. Whenever she tries to talk to Gordon I'm just sitting there groaning and throwing things at her face
What?! How can you not like her?
I think I would like her more if the game didn't force you into this sort of relationship with her. If there was more of a Deus Ex/free choice kind of thing going on then I would probably find her more tolerable, but I found it so frustrating having to sit through these sappy scenes with her all the time

I hate that asshole. It really makes me wonder what the tone of the game is, in Japanese. I wanted this game to be anything but "zany" but it IS more often than not.
Oh, now you've inverted the thread. NOW I AM CONFUSED.
not really, it started off with Carnivore saying all sonic franchise characters excluding Sonic, Tails and Knuckles. then hoodie13 raised the counterpoint of E-101Beta, as this is a sonic franchise character who is awesome, but lies outside of the "Sonic/Tails/Knuckles" excepted group of decent characters. I then suggested some futher examples of more awesome Sonic characters.

Damn you, you beat me to it.
WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM MAN?! NAVI WAS MY BRO/HO THROUGH ALL THAT GANON SHIT! I LOVED HIM/HER IN A PLUTONIC/SEXUALLY ATTRACTIVE WAY!
;p

Shit, any Sonic franchise character that isnt Sonic, Tails or Knuckles.
Good call. So glad he isn't in Secret of the Rings.
E-101Beta was awesome.

Fucking right.
Who gives a Hedgehog guns anyway?
as are the chaotix characters (pre-heroes), metal sonic, and hundreds of others TSR can probably name
What do you mean you're not the Princess? What do you mean she's in another castle?
I think he ment he wasn't the princess, and that she was actually in another castle. :P j/k
Toad was annoying, I agree.
Metal Sonic in Sonic 2 was badass. I hope you are referring to a different Metal Sonic.
And then I think, oh, I'll just shoot up the torso instead of getting headshots so the Plagas dies? Because that's where it is, right?
Well, yes, but apparently that doesn't matter.
Ugh.
Fixed.

This is why the gods made G-Mod.
Make her feel the love.
Although this doesn't really fit with the rest of what you said, really just the generic part, Master Chief.

Natalya from Goldeneye (or bullet sponge) is another story all together.
