The Scrappy/Video Games: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

[[File:duckhuntdog.jpg|link=Duck Hunt|frame|[[Up to Eleven|Some gamers hate him more than they hate the original Scrappy.]] [[Luke, I Am Your Father|Maybe he's his father?]]]]

 

 

== Ace Attorney ==

* Spark Brushel in ''Apollo Justice''. It doesn't help at all that his Perception tic is a [[Guide Dang It]]; specifically, it's {{spoiler|a sweaty armpit}}, not where most people would even think to look.

* Klavier Gavin has the fanbase [[Broken Base|split]]. Some love him for being not all in it for the winz, as the von Karma's and Edgeworth (before his enlightenment) were. Others hate him for being too friendly with Apollo, hence making the trial segments lack any semblance of conflict.

* Kay Faraday, Edgeworth's plucky girl sidekick from ''Ace Attorney Investigations''. Despite the fact that she basically is to Edgeworth what Maya is to Phoenix Wright and isn't even in two of the cases, she seems to get on [[Broken Base|some]] people's nerves.

* If you're a female sidekick in the [[Ace Attorney]] series, it's almost certain that you will get a hatedom.

* Many fans consider Mike Meekins to be the worst of the worst, due in no small part that he talks through an ear-screeching megaphone every few seconds. Thankfully, he ditched the megaphone after his first appearance, but many fans still hate him for being obnoxious and stupid.

* Zinc Lablanc II, the [[No Indoor Voice|loud]] [[Jerkass|obnoxious]] art dealer from ''[[Ace Attorney Investigations]]'' who constantly sticks his nose into the investigation. Despised so much that players were ''wishing'' he was the murderer just so he can be arrested.

 

== Baldur's Gate ==

* Makalov from PoR/RD. {{spoiler|Compulsive gambler, sleezy, good-for-nothing paladin with few redeeming qualities. Forces his sister to quit her position because he had racked up too much debt, tries to gamble away the medallion given to him by [[Love Martyr|Astrid]], his betrothed because he claimed that...}} Ugh.

* Rena's older brother Marchis in ''Shadow Dragons and the Blade of Light/Mystery of the Emblem'' is bashed by a lot of FAQ and guide writers for his stats, personality and appearance. One person even says "he totally defiles the game" by existing.

 

* Kairi from ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]'' has the dual misfortune of being seen as a proto-[[Shallow Love Interest]] and [[Damsel in Distress]], (The second one being true, the first one isn't) and being the main love interest to the hero in a fandom that's been pretty much owned by [[Yaoi Fangirl|yaoi fangirls]] since 2005.

* Xion is this for the majority of the Axel/Roxas fandom, and even for a good number outside of it due to her [[Retcon|ret-connish]] nature and the [[Creator's Pet|amount of focus she was given]] in a game that fans felt was supposed to be about Roxas. She is one of the biggest of this series' many [[Base Breaker|Base Breakers.]]

== Mass Effect ==

* To start off, Ambassador Donnel Udina has an obnoxiously aristocratic voice, gets overly angry when talking to the Council, sidelines you when you're inconvenient, sells you out just to maintain public relations, and acts as an appeaser for the Citadel Council if he's selected to be the human representative. ''[[Mass Effect 3]]'' manages to do some degree of rescuing, as he becomes significantly more sympathetic {{spoiler|even when he's attempting a Cerberus coup}}.

* Kai Leng. The hate comes from his blatant cutscene power, cheap tactics, character design (described as a Capcom villain wannabe), and obnoxious bragging.

* Diana Allers seems to be getting quite a bit of hate for a variety of reasons. Her inclusion being considered blatant pandering to IGN (she's modeled after and voiced by one of their writers, Jessica Chobot), her [[Romance Sidequest]] (considered by many to be the most shallow in the series), her bland voice acting, and feelings by many that they dedicated far more time to her, an extremely minor character, than other aspects of the game (many note they put more effort in designing her than into {{spoiler|Tali's face}}). The fact that she replaced Emily Wong, another pre-established and well-liked character, did not ease the anger.

* The kid seen at the beginning of Mass Effect 3. Partially because of his poor voice acting, partially because his death is seen by some to be cheap emotional manipulation and partially because {{spoiler|his model is purposefully used for the Catalyst.}}

** Which brings us to: {{spoiler|The Catalyst, due to being responsible for the [[Gainax Ending]].}}.

 

== Mega Man ==

 

== Metal Gear ==

** Not to mention, he was also widely hated because the trailers and advertising kept Raiden as a secret (they would put Snake in place of Raiden in some parts, and when they showed Raiden, they showed him very briefly), so players were led to believe that they were going to play as Snake for the whole game. The back of the case (for the original 2001 release) even makes it sound like you're playing as Snake for the whole game too.

* Meryl is somewhat hated due to being a rookie in MGS1 (and is considered "annoying" by some fans), and being a bitch in MGS4. She is also hated by [[Yaoi Fangirl|yaoi fangirls]] for [[Die for Our Ship|getting in the way of the Snake/Otacon pairing during MGS1]]. Thankfully, the Meryl hate isn't anywhere near as immense as the Rose hate.

 

 

== Mortal Kombat ==

* The original ''[[Mortal Kombat]]'' had Liu Kang. Apparently Shaolin monks castrate themselves or something. Not to mention that he had what is probably the lamest fatality ever created.

** Worse still was Stryker. For being named after a porn star, being a generic cop, and [[No Celebrities Were Harmed|looking like Woody Harrelson]], yeah.

** Darrius, Dairou, Kira and Kobra as well. The former two for not really fitting in with the MK storyline in general (and being a stereotypical black guy in Darrius' case), Kira for ripping off Sonya ''and'' Kano, and Kobra for being a poor man's [[Street Fighter II|Ken Masters]]. In fact, most of the Deception characters qualify for this, except maybe Havik.

* In ''[[Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe]]'', DC fans seemed to view Baraka as this. Ironic since you'd think they'd enjoy the opportunity to see Batman and Superman attack a [[Wolverine|violent mutant with]] [[Blade Below the Shoulder]].

** Ironically, this game was also the one that redeemed Stryker, who was, until then, the [[Creator's Pet]] of the series.

 

== Pokémon ==

** From the same PMD games, we have Chatot. Why? For one thing, he's a [[Jerkass]], and then there's the Perfect Apples incident. To summarize: after Team Skull takes the Perfect Apples during your mission to get them, Chatot berates you and your partner for failing. Instead of taking some time to listen to you, he immediately punishes you for going without dinner and forces you to face the Guildmaster. During that scene, even though Team Skull gives Wigglytuff one of the Perfect Apples to rub salt into your wounds, Chatot ''rubs the failure in your face the next day, telling you to give up on being included for the expedition.'' While he does manage to have what some people consider his [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]] near the end of the main storyline, it is the Perfect Apples incident that lands him in here.

* Magikarp is a running joke for causing headaches [[Magikarp Power|until he evolves into Gyarados]], but with the use of Experience Share that isn't hard to do, and with him being so common, you could easily raise a formidable army of Gyarados. ''Feebas,'' on the other hand, is terribly rare, so getting one at all depends on use of a strategy guide and luck, and evolving it is just as big of a pain. It requires you boost its beauty stat with fairly rare berries, and only certain natures of Feebas make this possible. One walkthrough writer even went as far as to declare, "I hate that fucking fish!"

* The announcer from ''Pokémon Battle Revolution'' tends to get a fair amount of hate, due to often repeating specific phrases. You attack the foe? "(Pokémon) starts to attack!" The foe gets knocked out? "(something)ed by (move)!" "It went down!" The worst? The foe scores a critical hit. "A clean hit!" SHUT THE FUCK UP. Thankfully, you can turn his voice off in Options.

** This one goes all the way back to the original ''Pokémon Stadium''.

* With the amount of times they attack you, Geodude and its relatives would initially seem to fall under the [[Goddamn Bats]] trope—but try to fight them and they often reveal themselves as even worse. Because they can learn Self-Destruct naturally, and aren't shy about using it, it's often better to just run away when you encounter them—which will be a lot of times.

* Whitney's Miltank in HG/SS. It was <s>annoying</s> [[That One Boss|a menace]] in the originals, but in the remakes, which now had the ability system from Gen III, it gained the ability to damage Ghosts (which are normally immune to Normal types). Said ability is appropriately called Scrappy.

* Audinos are pretty hated by some players. They appear in every single area that has rustling grass, and are what you'll find there over half the time. This annoys people, especially when they try for extra rare Pokémon in these patches like certain fully evolved ones. However, they make for really good experience points sponges.

* Fennel has been getting this from other players ever since the Global Link opened. What doesn't help is her taunting expression and her [[Stop Helping Me!|constantly helping out when you only have an hour to spare on the Dream World]].

* If a Pokémon is based on an inanimate object, it often gets a ton of hate. For example, Trubbish is often considered one of the very worst Pokémon (based on design).

** Granted, even Pokémon like Trubbish have fans who view it as a [[Ridiculously Cute Critter]]. It's the same (albeit less vitriolic) with ones like Vanillite, the ''ice cream'' Pokémon.

** Similarly, there's Unown. A psychic-type Pokemon that is essentially a side "[[Gotta Catch Em All]]" gimmick since there's 28 different variations (one for each letter of the alphabet and some punctuation). It doesn't help that Unown has horrible stats and can only learn "Hidden Power" (A move that is hit-n-miss in terms of which type it will be effective against). To make matters worse, all you get for catching all the variations of Unown is a certificate saying you caught them all (At least in Gold/Silver/Crystal you could print out said certificate).

* A slightly more obscure version is Mindy, a character from the Sinnoh games who seemingly wants to make a good ingame trade: you give her a Medicham, and she'll give you Haunter, which evolves into the badass, incredibly powerful Gengar when it's traded... Except that this particular Haunter is holding an Everstone, which prevents it from evolving when it's given to you, [[Jerkass|and she even goes as far as to taunt you about it not evolving.]] For those who weren't able to trade with other people, she's easily considered one of the most hateable people in the series, bar none.

 

== Shin Megami Tensei Series ==

* To start with the ''[[Shin Megami Tensei]]'' series, the Scrappy of ''[[Persona 3]]'' seems to depend largely on personal taste.

** Yukari's attitude and actions often make her come off as the party's personal [[Alpha Bitch]], as well as her actions during The Answer ( {{spoiler|choosing not to respect the protagonist's decision to make a [[Heroic Sacrifice]] at the end of The Journey, [[Protagonist-Centered Morality|being willing to risk the damnation of the entire world to undo said sacrifice]], [[Insane Troll Logic|calling everyone who doesn't agree with her a coward who is afraid to die]], and causing the party to have a completely avoidable internal battle}}) earned her a sizable [[Hatedom]]. Note that while Mitsuru sided with Yukari, she only did so because she promised to stand by her, and so hasn't received the [[Hatedom]] Yukari has.

* The trend continues in ''[[Persona 4]]'' with Teddie, who thankfully is replaced by the much better-voiced Rise 1/3 the way through the game.

* Yuzu of ''[[Devil Survivor]]'' gets a lot of flack for being [[The Chick]], [[The Watson]], and [[The Complainer Is Always Wrong|The Complainer]] rolled into one [[Pink Girl, Blue Boy|pink-wrapped]] package. Despite dealing with tons of [[Break the Cutie|cutie-breaking horrors]] packed into ''a single week'', she's bashed for being weak, whiny, and [[I Just Want to Be Normal|wanting to return to her normal life]]. The fact that she [[Expy|could pass for]] [[Persona 3|another MegaTen might-be-Scrappy]] doesn't help. Nor does the fact that her entire ''world'' seems geared against her, to the point that {{spoiler|her [[Multiple Endings|ending path]] is the worst of the lot.}} Of course, the fact that the heroes are warned repeatedly that running away is a bad idea and she chooses to do so anyway {{spoiler|despite knowing that the lockdown was meant to keep [[The End of the World as We Know It|demons from invading the world]], [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero|which they end up causing to happen when they go ahead and choose to break the lockdown]].}} are probably not points in her favor.

** Then there's Midori, who [[Unpleasable Fanbase|ironically has the opposite problem]]. Where Yuzu [[Refusal of the Call|wants to refuse the call]], Midori [[Jumped At the Call|leaps at it]], turning into a [[Cosplay Otaku Girl]] version of [[Leeroy Jenkins]] with a death grip on the [[Idiot Ball]]. While she [[Character Development|can get better]], her [[In the Name of the Moon]] speeches might as well be a [[Magical Girl]] version of "''P-p-p-p-puppy power!''"

** ''[[Devil Survivor 2]]'' has Daichi, who, while he does get some badass points and can be a damn good physical attacker with great speed, is still a scrappy for being a male Yuzu expy (he whines even MORE than she did and sometimes has even less excuse). Ironically, the actual female character who takes Yuzu's role in a gameplay sense is rather liked.

* Anyone on the Law alignment in games with a [[Order Versus Chaos|Law-Neutral-Chaos]] mechanic is gonna get a LOT of shit for being [[Knight Templar]] asshats, '''especially''' the angels; contrast those in Chaos, who don't get as much flak for wanting to achieve anarchy-level freedom, and especially Neutral, who like to promote balance rather than one extremity. You'll see quite a few fans enjoying the Neutral and Chaos routes, but rarely ever someone who finds the Law route to be their favorite one.

 

== Sonic the Hedgehog ==

** His appearance in ''[[Sonic Generations]]'' [[Rescued from the Scrappy Heap|made efforts to improve his position]], where the fight is reworked to greatly involve high-speed and is [[Obvious Beta|much less bugged]], he demonstrates much more powerful telekinesis, and [[Quinton Flynn|has a better voice actor]]. Even if you still don't like him after this, [[Hoist by His Own Petard|crushing him with his own "Meteor Smash"]] is bound to be satisfying.

** Half the people who watched ''[[Sonic X]]'' just wanted to throw Chris Thorndyke in a wood chipper simply for being in the show at all. His detractors argue that he's got lots of money and friends, but constantly plays the [[Lonely Rich Kid]] card because he'd rather hang out with [[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic]] and his anthro brigade. Fans also complain that he practically steals the 'sidekick' roll from Tails.

** Shortfuse from ''[[Sonic the Comic]]'' is almost universally hated by fans of the comic. He repeatedly [[As You Know|told his backstory]] every time he appeared, sometimes twice in one issue. He's generally somewhat annoying, and [[Word of God]] is he and Tekno like each other (which doesn't fare well with the fans who prefer Tekno with [[Les Yay|Amy]]).

 

== Star Fox ==

== Super Mario Bros. ==

* Ukiki in ''[[Super Mario Bros.|Super Mario 64]]''. On top of being a gigantic hindrance to the player in the Tall Tall Mountains, he steals your hats with annoyingly cute dialogue and he's near-impossible to catch. Which makes it all the more satisfying to roast him using Yoshi's fire flower in the DS version.

** Waluigi might actually be coming out of the Scrappy heap because of that Youtube video, Fangame and [[Brawl in the Family]]. It helps that he's started to develop a concrete personality besides "Hates Luigi" (Being a deranged trickster with hints of classiness.)

* A less extreme example, but Neil in ''Mario Golf Advance Tour''. From his irritating, sarcastic-sounding "whoops!" when he gets a Bogey to his hideous character design that looks like Ash Ketchum's retarded cousin, could they have made a less appealing player character? At least at the very beginning, the game gives you the option to play as the much less annoying Ella instead.

* Bowser Jr. A [[Replacement Scrappy]] for a whole villain team, he already gets a great deal of hatedom by replacing the seven most popular non Bowser villains in the older games, but alone he's about as hated. Due to his non personality, design nearly identical to a smaller version of Bowser (or in Partners in Time, identical to Baby Bowser) and the fact he's fought as a recurring boss every single tower in [[New Super Mario Bros.]], or about ten times with just two attack patterns. Some fans did start warming up to him when he was finally shown with his siblings though.

* Baby characters in such games. Baby Mario and Luigi are usually seen as fine when not crying, Baby Peach is seen as okay outside of Mario and Luigi Partners in Time, and Baby Daisy is pretty much seen as spinoff character filler and an undeserved use of a character slot. It really doesn't help that Baby Daisy's [[Tomboy Princess|adult]] [[Genki Girl|self]] (mentioned below) isn't exactly a character held in high regard, either. You thought one Daisy was nerve-wracking? Try dealing with two of them.

** There's even an [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8os04ijHETY entire song about how annoying she can be.]

** [[The Runaway Guys]] believe Peach is "evil" due to her tendency to steal/hog coins in the [[Mario Party]] games to the point where they almost always team up against her.

* [[You Go, Girl!|Princess Daisy]] is rather divisive, but the part of the fanbase that hates her hates her hard, due to having a voice that's equally as obnoxious as Peach's, and her Flanderization of the [[Genki Girl]] trope that turns her into a nerve-grating twit. Also similar to the above princess, Daisy has had two equally jarring past portrayals: the generic [[Damsel in Distress]] in ''[[Super Mario Land]]'', and the tomboyish yet coy and klutzy woman in the original ''Mario Tennis''. Unlike the Princess Peach example above, however, Daisy has had no notable scrappy-rescuing appearances (or even a reference) outside of the series' party, racing and sports titles. Because of this, any defining character (if any) Daisy has is [[Satellite Character|hanging around with other characters]] like Peach and Luigi. Daisy is perhaps the closest we'll ever get to a female Waluigi.

** Anyone who played ''[[Mario Kart|Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'' will cringe and want to wring Daisy's neck by this simple [[Memetic Mutation]]: HI, I'M DAISY!

 

== Tales Series ==

* Many ''[[Tales of Vesperia]]'' fans look down on Karol and Estelle, claiming that they're a textboot idiotic [[Kid Hero]] and a textbook [[Naive Everygirl]] with less than stellar AI, respectively. They receive more character focus than some of the other characters in the party as well ([[Teen Genius|Rita]], [[Ms. Fanservice|Judith]], and [[Cool Old Guy|Raven]]), emphasizing their Scrappyness for their haters. [[Your Mileage May Vary]], however.

** Sodia. Most of the fandom ''seriously'' dislikes her for her holier-than-thou attitude, [[Clingy Jealous Girl]] tendencies, and {{spoiler|her attempted murder of Yuri.}}

* As for ''[[Tales of the Abyss]]'', Anise gets scrappy points for {{spoiler|her involvment in Ion's [[Heroic Sacrifice|death]] and being forced to be [[The Mole|a mole]] by [[Corrupt Church|Mohs]]. Did I mention Anise was [[Toy Ship|clearly in love]] with Ion?}} Also, she gets additional scrappy points for being too [[Easily Forgiven]] for her transgressions compared to what Luke goes through after his screwup.

* It's very hard to find fans of Reala, from ''[[Tales of Destiny|Tales of Destiny 2]]''. Her status as a [[Spotlight-Stealing Squad]] is undeniable, and she's also accused of other sins ([[Purity Sue|Sue]] tendencies, bad AI, overall blandness). It really says something when the characters chosen to represent the game alongside [[Kid Hero|Kyle]] in ''Tales of VS.'' were [[Ensemble Darkhorse|Nanaly and Harold]] instead of her (since she's pretty much the co-protagonist). Although she does make an appearance of a bonus boss in [[Tales of Graces]].

 

== The Legend of Zelda ==

** To a lesser extent, Fi, more or less for being [[Stop Helping Me!|extremely]] [[Captain Obvious|unhelpful]]. She has a knack of reiterating a piece of information said by an NPC [[Viewers Are Goldfish|literally five seconds after said NPC finished talking]], [[Captain Obvious|pointing out your shield is damaged or your hearts are low]], and in contrast to Tael and Midna, she's cold, stoic and almost robotic. It makes you wonder if the Goddesses created her to prepare one of his reincarnations for Navi.

*** However, {{spoiler|her farewell at the end of the game [[Rescued from the Scrappy Heap|rescued her from the scrappy heap]] for some.}}

 

== World of Warcraft ==

* Back in the day when [[Banjo-Kazooie]] was first released, Bottles the Mole got a lot of attention as [[The Scrappy]] of choice. Many gamers were boggled by the first scene of the game being him popping out of his hole and speaking in his bizarre voice. In the sequel, [[Banjo Tooie]], Rare must have been aware of this, because Bottles is killed off right at the beginning and replaced by his Brother, Jamjars, as Banjo's mentor.

** In ''Nuts and Bolts'', nearly all of the new characters get some hatred for being associated with a controversial game, but the two biggest scrappies are probably Trophy Thomas, simply because he's a [[Jerkass]], and L.O.G., for being the face of Banjo's shoehorning into the new style of game.

** The major problem fingered with CJ is cut-scene/gameplay dissonance. Claude is, at best, amoral and Tommy is a complete psycho, whereas CJ is depicted as having fundamentally good motivations and just 'doin it fo da hood.' Which somehow doesn't gel with the fact you just ran over a few old women and beat police officers to death with a dildo.

*** Then again, some people like the game ''better'' for introducing a protagonist with a sympathetic side. It turns out there's a lot of people in real life who aren't criminals, but fantasize about [[Berserk Button|snapping]] and [[Well-Intentioned Extremist|hitting back at the world for fucking them over]].

* Fargoth, Gaenor, Glarthir, Maglir, the Adoring Fan...the list of hated Bosmer in ''[[The Elder Scrolls]]'' goes on and on and on.

** [http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Heimskr Heimskr], the Whiterun Priest of Talos in ''[[Skyrim]]'' is a close runner-up to [[Fallout 3|Confessor Cromwell]] in the "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iIbUwEHU9ck highly murderable] nonstop preacher" category.

** The Thalmor in general, players absolutely hate them so much due to their jerkass [[Can't Argue with Elves]] nature and making Tamriel into the hellhole it is during ''[[Skyrim]]''. If there is a thing everyone can agree upon in Skyrim [[My Species Doth Protest Too Much|including Altmer players]], its the desire to kill every single Thalmor member they see, even if they are fighting against the group you'd normally be against.

* ''[[Gothic]]'' had Mud, a pest who latched onto the hero if you walked by him. He'd constantly pester you by initiating pointless dialog, but should any enemies get near, he'd run away... until you defeated them. Then he came back. The only way to get rid of him was to beat him up. Very cathartic, actually.

** Since even the hero seems to enjoy beating him up, and because of his [[But You Screw One Goat!|implied reason for being thrown into the mine colony]], this was probably intentional.

* In the ''[[.hack]]'' series, there's a few Scrappies, but generally at the top of the list is Piros III in the first set of games: An over the top [[Lord Error-Prone]] twit with a grating voice and is one of the slowest characters to have in the party, and the tendency to call the main character "He Of Fair Eyes", and other [[Ye Olde Butcherede Englishe]] doesn't help to endear him to the party. Nor does his tendency to fall for [[Catgirl|Mia's]] tricks at least three times. Some think his ''GU'' version is a case of [[Rescued from the Scrappy Heap]] with his awesome theme music, and thankfully much more amusing antics.

** Oh lord Komiyan the third from ''Legend of the Twilight Bracelet''.

** Atoli tends to fall into this often as well, though more often in the Western fanbase than others. Opinions range from her being [[The Woobie]], to her being an [[Extreme Doormat]].

** Let's not forget Gaspard. Oh boy, more pointless sidetracking with a loud, whiny, useless, pathetic, and all around unlikable piece of garbage. Just what we all wanted. Even his appearance is obnoxious.

** Yunseong's got everything going for him. Wrong. He's got an annoying personality, including a firm grasp of the [[Idiot Ball]] over three games. He's practically a parody of every [[Hot-Blooded]] cliche in the book. He's seen by some as the [[Replacement Scrappy]] to Hwang, yet with a more useless moveset. Shippers of ''anyone he knows'' hate him, because they want him out of the picture. Because the people that he know tend to be [[Women Are Wiser|sensible, useful women]], and because they have to babysit him for half of their stories, he's seen as even more unavoidable.

* ''[[Resident Evil Code: Veronica]]'':

* ''[[Super Robot Wars]]'':

** Lee Linjun, [[The Neidermeyer]] captain of the Shirogane is a stuck-up [[Jerkass]] perfectionist who has very little concern on his subordinates and always look down on Tetsuya Onodera, always giving him his frustrations while in practice, his high and mighty attitude always lead to disaster; and then, he got caught by stupidity, then turns traitor. Then right after that, he crossed the [[Moral Event Horizon]] by killing Daitetsu Minase. From that point on, it doesn't matter if he had a sad past of losing his wife, all his negativities eclipse all of them, [[And the Fandom Rejoiced]] when he met his end by charging like an idiot towards Tetsuya... who's commanding the battleship Kurogane, ''with a drill on its head''.

** Wilhelm von Juergen, the 'supposed' [[Big Bad]] of the OVA, when you look at him, seems normal. A candidate of [[Anti-Villain]], perhaps, he only, like, got over the top reacting on his sadness of losing his family against the Aerogators, and his intentions in building the ODE is ''clearly'' well enough. But in process of that, he managed to be a unrepentant massive [[Big Bad Wannabe]], who caught Lamia Loveless only by luck, and when she made it clear that her mind cannot be overridden that easily with ODE's programming, he crosses the [[Moral Event Horizon]] by shooting her while she's battered, defenseless and naked making it look like she dies and suffer a huge case of [[Chickification]] (Which was thankfully fixed when she eventually returns full time in OG Gaiden) since the teaser to OG Gaiden ended right after he shot her dead and he's immediately killed by Duminuss for outliving his 'usefulness'. Right after that, all his sympathetic points got to hell, and everyone looks at him with A LOT of contempt. However, you will be less than likely to find those who are vocal in their hatred towards Juergen when compared to Lee's ... because every one of Juergen's appearance is in a [[No Export for You]] media (the very small number of western players that DO know about him, they just can't find it in themselves to like him in any way). It doesn't help that the Bartolls that he provides are massive [[Goddamned Bats]].

* ''[[Dragon Age]]'':

** It has two characters that spawned giant Hatedoms. Isolde, wife of the Arl of Redcliffe who raised Alistair, resident [[Mr. Fanservice]]. She was especially harsh to him when he was a boy, making him sleep in the stables and shipping off to be raised by the Chantry, where he was miserable, as well as generally making his life miserable while he was there (all before he was ten, mind you). Her reason being that her husband never told her that Alistair 'was not' his illegitimate son but Maric's causing all sorts of problems for her and her own son. Alistair as an adult even sympathizes with her and admits that his response to it all was very immature and stupid (his comment being that he may as well have been raised by dogs), this usually gets overlooked by Alistair's fangirls. In the course of the game she makes a number of [[It Got Worse|bad decisions]] that led to the problems in Redcliffe including a zombie plague that you have to fix. It's clearly not her fault however she simply didn't want her beloved son {{spoiler|to get dragged off to [[Wizarding School]] (which is the law) because it's a prison and where your graduation ceremony is having a demon shoved into you just to test your resistance to possession and where failure to toe the line either results in execution or a lobotomy. Her response was to hire an illegal mage who was secretly planted there by Loghain/Howe who poisoned the Arl causing her son to turn to a demon for help that possessed him and started the whole zombie plague. Her hatedom however makes her out to be a conceited, stupid bitch who just didn't want her son's magic embarrassing her because of her religion and let things get worst just to keep it secret instead of a distressed mother just trying to protect her only son.}}. She gets in your way quite a bit throughout the quest [[Mama Bear|but all to her save her son]]. Still many fans see her as a [[Karma Houdini]] for not receiving any sort of punishment for something she's not at fault for. Mostly though, ''everyone'' hates her poorly French accented voice! ''[[Memetic Mutation|"Teeeeeeeeee-]][[Most Annoying Sound|gaaaaaahn!"]]''. That she pushes for {{spoiler|[[Mr. Fanservice|Jowen's]] (the blood mage who tried to assassinate her husband [[The Atoner|then genuinely tries to repent for it]]) execution also doesn't help matters}}.

** Alistair's fangirls often hate on his sister Goldanna for not welcoming him with hugs and kisses and then demanding money from him. Keep in mind Goldanna is a bitter, poor single mother with five children who hasn't seen Alistair in years. Getting angry at him for trying to come into her life after all this time is understandable.

* ''[[Dragon Age 2]]'':

** In the ''Mark of the Assassin'' DLC, the elf assassin Tallis (whose voice and appearance are based upon [[Felicia Day]]) is viewed by many as an unlikable [[Canon Sue]]. Players hate Tallis because of her [[Cutscene Power to the Max]] (her introduction scene features her killing half a dozen Antivan Crows without even breaking a sweat), her [[Can't Argue with Elves|Can't Argue With Qunari]] attitude, and the fact that she succeeds at her goals regardless of whether you choose to support her or oppose her.

* Wren Insurance from ''[[SimCity|Sim City 4]]'' has a lot of hate, due to a programming glitch that caused it to spawn more often than it needed to in the cities. There's a mod to fix this, as well as a mod to completely remove it from the game (as well as the rest of the Maxis buildings).

* [[Metroid: Other M|Adam Malkovitch.]] He's widely considered a [[Jerk Stu]] for his cold, sometimes careless behavior, and for imposing the now infamous [[Scrappy Mechanic|authorization mechanic]] on to Samus/The player. The fact that he was built up as a great man when ''[[Metroid Fusion]]'' came out makes some of his behavior rather shocking to some people. But probably the biggest reason is Samus's sometimes creepy relationship with him, which has spawned [https://web.archive.org/web/20131104140519/http://moonbase.rydia.net/mental/blog/gaming/metroid-other-m-the-elephant/article.html entire articles] going into how [[Unfortunate Implications|messed up]] it is. The short version is that Samus acts like he loves him like a daughter([[Relationship Writing Fumble|this didn't stop people from interpreting that she liked him in a far different way]]), but Adam, on the other hand, is mostly indifferent(the No-Varia run is a good example) to outright cruel. The fact that Samus takes things like disabling all of her weapons or ''getting shot and nearly killed by Adam'' like it was nothing made things quite worse.

** There's also the fact that this account basically erases the significance of the Chozo in her life, positioning him as the first father figure she ever had, rather than an entire race that raised her from early childhood, taught her everything she knows, and invented most of the technology she uses. Sure, that makes sense.

* Although ''[[BlazBlue]]'' doesn't have any Scrappies ''per se'', you'll find it very hard to find fans of [[Bratty Half-Pint|Luna]]. She's considered to be extremely loud-mouthed and obnoxious, insulting and being a [[Jerkass|rude bitch]] to pretty much everyone. She's probably even more haughty than '''[[Jerk Sue|Rac]][[Canon Sue|hel]]'''. This hatred extends a little into Platinum [[Split Personality|as a whole]], although her other personalities Sena and Trinity are more well-received.

* Shaundi in ''[[Saints Row the Third]]''. Her personality change from easy-going pothead to a revenge-obsessed complainer who snaps at her friends at the drop of a hat has not gone over well with fans. The fact that [[Eliza Dushku]] did not return to voice her did not help matters.

* In [[Brothers in Arms]], Private Leggett, in-universe and out, especially with his original voice actor and after {{spoiler|the deaths of Allen and Garnett.}} He's awkward, annoying, and far more aggressive towards his fellow squad-mates than towards the Germans. After his [[Heroic BSOD]] moment, some squad members mutter that "that skinny prick better not cross [their] path." A new voice actor and some fleshing out [[Rescued from the Scrappy Heap|make him more popular in later installments, though.]]

* The Mayor from ''[[Nintendo Wars|Advance Wars: Days of Ruin]]'' is more hated than even the worst [[Complete Monster]]s in the game for being a selfish ingrate who only pretended to care about his people. {{spoiler|This makes his [[Karmic Death]] when he tries to consume the antidote himself only to find out the hard way that it was poison all along more satisfying.}}

* [[Atelier Meruru]]: Rorona. She got turned into an (ugly) eight year old between games, and acts her new age. A very large portion of fanbase is not pleased. This is apparently because Gust [[Christmas Cake|couldn't stand to see her in her 30s]]. "Who wants to see a Rorona in her 30s? Not me, that's for sure!"
