Gushing About Characters You Like (Sugar Wiki)/Video Games: Difference between revisions

* [[Red Savant|This troper]] absolutely ''adores'' [[Mass Effect]]'s Tali. She's just adorable -- from her [[Wrench Wench|knowledge of machines]] to her [[The Woobie|woobieness]], everything about her just makes you want to give her a hug. Fortunately, you can in [[Mass Effect 2]].

** This troper probably loves Tali a little too much. He doesn't feel a [[Perverse Sexual Lust]] for her (A personal first.), but instead a very strong attraction, and tends to [[Berserk Button|fly into]] [[Ax Crazy|a rage]] when anyone says anything bad about her. If you want to get [[Too Dumb to Live|beat to death]] by this guy, insult her to his face.

** Ashley. [[Badass]] [[Action Girl]] that [[Cultured Badass|quotes Tennyson]] and hasn't [[Outgrown Such Silly Superstitions]], but ''isn't'' [[Holier Than Thou]]? Sorry [[Green-Skinned Space Babe|Liara]], but my heart belongs to the homeworld girl.

** I didn't know it was possible to love a character ''because'' he's terrifying ([[Nightmare Fetishist|No, not like THAT]]) before I encountered [[Cosmic Horror|Sovereign]]. This Troper [[Nightmare Fuel|played]] [[Wham! Episode|Virmire]] at [[What an Idiot!|two in the morning]], and even though I'd been spoilered to hell and gone the [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|line of lines]] still made me want to both [[Oh Crap|shiver]] and [[And the Fandom Rejoiced|punch the air]].

*** This Troper would like to nominate Revolver Ocelot himself, for taking his [[Chronic Backstabbing Disorder]] and using it to mold himself into a [[Magnificent Bastard]] of the most awesome kind. If his [[Improbable Aiming Skills]] weren't enough, Ocelot also demonstrates that there is, in fact, a place in this world for [[Ascended Fanboy|determined]], [[Stalker with a Crush|vaguely-disturbing]] [[Ho Yay|fanboys]]. (also, young Ocelot circa ''Metal Gear 3'' is [[Perverse Sexual Lust|Sex On Legs]].

** Big Boss as Naked Snake is awesome. He is sexy like his son/clone and he have a sense of humor. And when he got [[The Eyepatch Of Power]], he became even more badass.

* This editor would like to nominate Ganondorf from ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]'' himself. While it's easy to respect him for being one of the few major video game villains not to succumb to [[Villain Decay]] and for consistently delivering awesome boss battles, it wasn't until ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|Wind Waker]]'' that he showed true depth as a character. He's tired of being the [[Evil Overlord]], he's got a fair [[Freudian Excuse]], and is really, really scary when he wants to be.

** From the same game, the King of Hyrule. Ever wonder why the only ruler of Hyrule you see is Princess Zelda? It's because the King was so [[Badass]] they had to build the Gamecube just to contain him. Not that Zelda herself was a slouch in the [[Badass]] department there either. The final battle with Ganondorf in ''Wind Waker'' is Zelda at her most awesome, bar none.

** I actually found Navi HELPFUL. She was made for players starting the series with Ocarina of Time, as I did. And her shouting "Watch Out!" has saved players' asses countless times. I actually found Tatl in MM more annoying because of her [[Jerkass]] tendencies.

*** This troper actually loved Tatl in ''[[Majoras Mask]]'', partially -because- she was a bit of a jerk. She was more, much more than just an exposition fairy, she had true personality (and everyone with a personality -will- have some jerky and/or annoying aspect), and she had her own agenda for helping out Link, making her a cool and fleshed out character; incidentally, she also allowed a workaround for Link [[Heroic Mime|never talking]], since she would engage in dialogue from time to time.

*** I'm going to have to go a step further here and add my two rupees: [[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|Wind Waker Link]] is about as awesome as they come. He's, arguably, the first Link to have much in the way of a personality (not to knock on OoT/MM or anything)-- and that personality was ''amazing''. He's just a kid from some random island-- goofy and sweet and exactly what you'd expect a young boy to be like. He's not [[Conveniently an Orphan]], has proved with several (short) lines of in-game dialogue that he's not ''totally'' a [[Heroic Mime]] and, in general, avoids most of what players think defines a "Link"... which leads to the best part. His [[Call to Adventure]] didn't have ''anything'' to do with saving the Great Sea-- he was just trying to save his sister; as [[The Unchosen One]] we got to watch him grow up from the goofball we started playing as, to the first Link to successfully {{spoiler|''kill Ganondorf''}}. How is that ''not'' awesome?

** LINEBECK. Oh GODS, Linebeck! At first I couldn't stand him...but as the game goes on, and he develops--quite hilariously so, I might add, with some of the funniest moments in the series--I really grew to love and appreciate him so much. My heart broke in Spirit Tracks when all we got was his cheap replacement with a weird hat.

* [[Eternal Sonata|March]] may be a twin, but [[Nyperold|this troper]] thinks she's more adorable than her sister. However, that may just be due to her sweet and friendly nature, quite the opposite of how Salsa describes her. But lest this should cause you to think her ineffective in combat, you should know that she's quite good with a pair of chakrams, and [[Beware the Nice Ones|she'll be perfectly polite]] ''before'' [[Beware the Nice Ones|she pounds her foes]]. And she gets some neat-sounding (free verse) poetry before she unleashes her Echo-enhanced special moves.

* I have not one, but ''three'' characters to gush about from [[Disgaea]]. There's Vyers, the [[Gratuitous French]]-speaking [[Butt Monkey]] who also tends to have a lot of [[Big Damn Heroes]] moments and may or may not [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fp-UeQyvNis love little girls]. Then there's Etna, the [[Stripperific]] [[Pettanko]] [[Little Miss Snarker]] (you heard me) who easily proves that [[Everything Is Better With Penguins]]. Lastly, there's Pleinair, the [[The Gunslinger|gunslinging]] [[Cute Mute]] who [[Memetic Mutation|batdodges]] [[Memetic Badass|everything]] and, similarly to Etna, proves that [[Everythings Better With Bunnies|Everything's Better With Bunnies]]. They are all awesome and I love them all to little pixelated bits.

** And this Troper absolutely loves Beryl. 2nd biggest [[Badass Adorable]] in my opinion (after [[Kirby]], who is the trope personified).

* [[The World Ends With You|Daiskenojo Bito]]. What we have here is a genuinely complex [[Idiot Hero]] whose a [[Badass]] [[Determinator]] who has half the games [[Crowning Moment of Funny]] lies. Add the to the best [[Character Development]] in the game and you have Beat.

** [[Catgirl|Taokaka]]. [[Genki Girl|Bouncy, cute,]] [[Idiot Hero|a total idiot]], and the [[Attention Deficit Ooh Shiny|attention sp]]- I smell food! Did you eat lunch?

* Guybrush Threepwood, Mighty Pirate?! That is all.

* This troper has recently developed a deep respect for Gekkou, Zangetsu, Izayoi, and Tsukinowa; the ninjas under Edge in his chapter of ''[[Final Fantasy IV: The After Years]]''. The reason I like them so much? because they ''actually act like ninja''. Putting aside the whole ninjutsu magic thing, all four of them value stealth and disguise. Specifically, Zangetsu, Izayoi, and Tsukinowa spend a long time in the countries they are dispatched to, building up the disguise of a trusted member of the community, like actual ninja would. Zangetsu manages to disguise himself as another ''species'', and Tsukinowa (a ''kid'' ninja) even nearly drowns himself on the shores so that the mages of Mysidia will "save" him and take him in. Their presence represents the fact that someone in the ''[[Final Fantasy]]'' team actually knows how ninjas work. And that's awesome.

** While we're on the subject of ''The After Years'', [[Spoony Bard|Edward]]. [[Wangst|Whiny]], [[Useless Useful Spell|useless]], and [[Squishy Wizard|fragile]] in [[Final Fantasy IV|the original]], he [[Took a Level In Badass]] in the 17 years since the first game, {{spoiler|planting a deliberately [[Incredibly Obvious Bug]] in Fake!Cecil's throne room ''right in front of his face'', in such a way as to confirm that Cecil is a fake}}, and disposing of {{spoiler|Evil!Kain's troops}} in a decidedly [[Badass]] and ironic fashion. If you do not come out of the game with a new found respect for the bard, then you clearly haven't been paying attention.
