Top 10 Most Useless Video Game Characters
There's a special kind of frustration that comes from dragging around a character who brings absolutely nothing to the table. Not charm, not strength, not even useful dialogue. Just dead weight in digital form. This is a list of 10 of the downright most useless characters and or companions in some of your favorite or just some popular games.Maybe it's that one teammate who dies five seconds into every fight. Or a mascot who exists just to scream your name while you do all the work. Or maybe it's a character who should've been helpful but ends up doing more harm than good. Think walking liability or comic relief that forgot to be funny.
Slippy Toad is a playable character in the Star Fox series of video games developed by Nintendo. He serves as the team's mechanic and pilot, providing technical support and occasionally requiring rescue during missions. Slippy has appeared in nearly every game in the series since its debut. Could anyone else really have been at the top of this list of the 10 Most Useless Video Game Characters? Fox's companions aren't always the most useful bunch, but Slippy managed to crown himself king of the losers by constantly getting into trouble, requiring you to either save his stupid, amphibious self, or laugh as he gets shot down.
Magikarp, known in Japan as Koiking, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise. It resembles an orange fish with whiskers. It was created by Ken Sugimori, Magikarp first appeared in the video games Pokémon Red and Blue and subsequent sequels. It is a water type that evolves... read more Sure, there are crazy Pokefans who can game the system enough to make Magikarp awesome. But with an equal amount of work, you could catch an army of Mewtwos and conquer the world with them. At its base, Magikarp is useless. Its only attack is to flop around on the ground and do nothing.
Magikarp can evolve into Gyarados, so your argument is invalid!
How dare you, his splash can eradicate every Pokemon on Earth.
I love Miitopia, but this enemy is just pointless! We already have Roll Hopper in the game. Not to mention that this game is about saving Mii faces, but defeating this monster only releases sunglasses! Most characters on this list are just characters people don't like, but Doo-Whopper is just plain forgettable.
Pink Gold Peach is a character who debuts in Mario Kart 8, where she appears as an unlockable playable character. Why is this even a character to begin with? It's just a different colored Peach.
The only thing Edward has ever contributed to the world is when Tellah called him a "spoony bard," and he went down in meme history.
Wendy O. Koopa is a female villain in the Super Mario Bros. franchise. She is the only female member of the Koopalings and is usually found assisting Bowser on his wicked plans with the rest of the Koopalings. She first appeared in Super Mario Bros. 3 in 1988 and since then has been a reappearing foe... read more I like the Koopa Kids, but their fights in most of the games are so boring!
Pichu is an Electric type Baby Pokémon introduced in Gen. 2. It evolves into Pikachu. It is in the in undiscovered egg group, since it's a baby Pokémon. It is No. 172 in the Pokedex. It can be called a joke character in Super Smash Bros. Melee, because of its awful stats and weak moves. After its... read more This Pika-Clone's own lightning attacks hurt it, and it's such a lightweight that a single well-placed uppercut can knock it out even if its damage is as low as 20%. Welcome to the list of the 10 Most Useless Video Game Characters, Pichu.
Princess Elise the Third (ソレアナ公女エリス3世, Soreana Kōjo Erisu 3-sei, literally "Soleanna Princess Elise the Third") is one of the main characters in Sonic the Hedgehog (2006). Because it's still a video game?
Hey, without Elise, Sonic is dead. You put Elise instead of Omochao.
The Newcomers
Dan Hibiki is a playable character from Capcom's Street Fighter fighting game franchise. He was introduced in Street Fighter Alpha as a parody of characters from rival fighting games. Despite his intentionally weak moveset, Dan has become a fan-favorite for his over-the-top personality and comic appeal... read more
There's already a Dragon boss in the post-game of Miitopia called "Dragon Lord."
Dragons are overrated, and fighting this in Uncharted Galados is very annoying!
Servbot may be tiny, but he makes up for it by dealing virtually no damage and having special/super moves that take forever to activate, leaving him constantly open to attack.
To put it kindly, Rico is crap, and his Gear (giant robot suit) is also crap. Every other character has some value to them, even the weirder ones. Maria may be weak on foot, but her Gear is incredibly powerful. ChuChu might be a strange, pink fuzzball, but it can cast healing spells on the other Gears, which is invaluable given the difficulty of recovering their hit points. However, Rico has got nothing.
Rosalina, known as Rosetta in Japan, is a major character in the Mario franchise created by Nintendo. She first appeared in the 2007 game Super Mario Galaxy for the Nintendo Wii and later returned in its sequel, Super Mario Galaxy 2, in 2010. Since then, she has been featured in many main-series Mario... read more Not even close to being useless. People blindly hate her so much that they can't be accurate.
This weird onion guy is easily overshadowed by the other, superior Breath of Fire III characters. His inclusion makes you wonder if Capcom thought they were making their own kind of Moogles when coming up with this cute-ish animal/vegetable mascot.
That's right, we're going old-school. In a game full of wizards, warriors, and you, the Alchemist is the one character class with terrible stats, non-existent weapon and armor skills, and no magic to speak of. If you're going to play as an Alchemist, you're better off just shutting the game down.
Princess Daisy is a fictional character in the Mario series of video games, where she is the princess of the fictional region of Sarasaland.Daisy debuted in Super Mario Land in 1989. After a few other appearances, she disappeared for nine years until she was brought back in Mario Tennis (2000).
Daisy... read more
She's just a dumb filler Peach with a louder voice.
He trades you emeralds, which are only available in extreme hills, and trades.
Final Fantasy X's resident furball is also its most useless character. Anything he can do, everyone else can do better.
Wario is a character in Nintendo's Mario series who was originally designed as an antagonist to Mario. His motives are driven by greed, and he will often side with whoever offers him the greatest reward. Although typically portrayed as selfish and mischievous, Wario has become a central figure in his... read more
Shadow the Hedgehog is a character who appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series released by Sega. He is an artificially created black and red hedgehog whose hover shoes propel him at extreme speeds that rival those of Sonic.
Ashley Graham is an American model. She has appeared on the cover of fashion magazines such as Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, Glamour, and Elle. In addition, she appeared in several Levi's campaigns. Why is this not higher on the list?
